Highly recommended, authentic quality food and friendly father & son owners. Restaurant just opened this February 2024 for 5 months only, they started out doing catering business. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant seats 56 and can accommodate up to 70+ people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] all-you-can-eat buffet is $18.99 and kids are around $9. Very accommodating and can make arrangements in advance if reserving for a large party. They do all-you-can-eat buffet for regular walk-in dining, but if you want anything on the menu (basically catering), especially red meats, it needs a 2-day advanced notice so the materials can be purchased and prepped. We are having a large party here soon and owner will serve buffet menu options per our request. I had an Indian heritage person in my dining party today and she and her father say the food here is good. Personally I like their naan the best. It tastes better than it looks and is not hard or doughy like some other Indian places I've frequent. Saving this place onto my favorite collections. read more

I've been looking forward to trying this place and couldn't be more glad I had the chance to do so tonight. My fiancée and I didn't realize we showed up 40min before closing because we were greeted with a huge smile from the owner's son, while not being rushed in the slightest. However, once I asked what time they closed and realized it was very soon, we personally still rushed as we knew the staff had most likely been there all day and wanted to be respectful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All the seating consists of booths which is my favorite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurants with the "modern" layout and incredibly uncomfortable seats to get you in and out the door asap has somehow turned into the norm and I couldn't dislike it more. Booths will always be the way to go for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In regards to the food, I enjoyed every dish to be honest. Fiancée and I each had the buffet. The pakora with their green chutney is very flavorful and fresh. We also had the Chana Masala, Eggplant, Chicken Tikka Masala, Curry Chicken, Tandoori Chicken, and Kulcha (essentially everything haha). Fiancée's favorite was the Chana Masala. Mine was the Tandoori Chicken, which they made fresh for us 15min before closing. We didn't ask for this, they just went ahead and did so, along with fresh Kulcha (must try). If you've ever cooked this type of cuisine, these two items take a considerable amount of time and effort to make; for them to do that was a very kind gesture. We will definitely be back, along with friends and family. **By the way, check the profiles of people who leave negative reviews and make an educated decision for yourself whether to believe them or not. It's not fair to businesses, who work incredibly hard to survive and hopefully succeed, to have their reputation brought down a peg or ruined because of a fake or bogus review. read more

Punjab Palace - Indian Near Me - Norco, California

Went here for the first time and the buffet style service was wonderful. I left with a food coma as everything was so good! The son that greeted us was super nice and friendly. Would definitely come back again read more

Super friendly staff, and tasty food for a good value! Worth a try for sure. They have a buffet everyday that I'll try next time. read more

Punjab Palace - A good value! This is a to-go 3 item combo. - Indian Near Me - Norco, California

What a treat! I'm so happy I decide to stop in with my daughters for a quick takeout order. Unfortunately, we were short on time so we weren't able to take advantage of the dinner buffet. But we were treated to the most delicious sampling of their offerings. The chutney is my new favorite condiment, I want more naan just so I have a reason to eat more chutney! We will definitely be back for a true sit-down dinner. The family who runs this restaurant is so kind and generous, what a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Stop by on the way home today for some Indian food. There are not any real good Indian restaurants in the area so since Punjab Palace was new, we decided to give it a try. You walk into a non-assuming place, how a few tables that I would think would fill up quickly during lunch or dinner rushes, and a wife open kitchen so you can see your food being made. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is bright, clean and gave me high hopes for some good food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeted by 3 employees and quickly attended to by a gentleman we would come to find out is the owner, Khendi. Khendi has some super chill vibes with a huge smile and took our order. Turns out his pops wanted to open a spot as his ultimate dream so Khendi decided to make pop's dream a reality. I will say this, I found my new spot for Indian food. We had garlic naan, curry chicken and chicken tikka masala and not one was bad. The naan, dude, if I were Indian that naan would have made me slap my momma! It was good, fluffy, buttery and garlicy. Nothing was over done except that first bite because I swear it was just a cloud of floury yumminess. Y'all know you cannot surprise somebody with that naan, it needs a label to prepare you for just how good it was. I was mad I did not get enough! Long story short, because I can be verbose, this place high all the notes of spices, spiciness, flavor, and tenderness. They are only a few months new and pushing to expand the menu and I will be there every step of the way. From food to customer service Khendi and his dad know how to treat their customers. Their food is so desirable they are already catering so if you go and they are closed when they should be open, understand they are trying to make money for us to continue enjoying their treats. Keep up the good work guys! We're look forward to the growth and to see what you all have up your sleeve next. It's about time we had some good local Indian food so stay around if you don't mind. haha. read more

1 star for Service - really nice guys! Sad the food didn't match the friendliness. 1 star for rice - as good as it should be 0 stars for main FOOD. Raw doughy Garlic Naan. Worst Tikka Masala I've ever had. I've had many and I've even made my own at home (I am not of Indian heritage but mine was pretty good and simple). Strangest dark reddish orange color I've even seen from Chicken Tikka Masala. Samples of other food they gave me were not good either. Really disappointing since my family and I were excited to have an Indian restaurant nearby and had a craving for it. I barely got through a few pieces and couldn't bear the sickening uncooked naan (which I usually have to stop myself from consuming too much). I am extremely suspicious of the high rating for this establishment purely based on taste unless this is the first ever Indian food these reviewers have tried. read more

Tried this new place based on reviews and it did not disappoint! Service was outstanding and the food was even better! I can't wait to bring my family here to try the delicious variety of dishes! Tandoori chicken & chicken tikka were my favs! Very hospitable service! read more

Super excited when an Indian food restaurant moved into the neighborhood, sadly the food is not good. Palak paneer flavorless, garlic naan grossly undercooked (yuk). The service is good and the staff friendly but just can't see going back. read more

Have been here twice since it opened and had a wonderful experience both times. The food is always fresh and authentic quality. The head chef has many years of experience and really knows what he's doing. Service was excellent as well, they constantly checked in on us and made sure we have everything we wanted. Highly reccomend if you are looking for authentic and homemade Indian food. read more

First time coming to this place, I was not disappointed, A small quaint family owned restaurant, father and son. They were extremely kind and accommodating. The food was delicious. I called the owner over and just told him how great the food was and how my experience was. He was thrilled to hear that. One thing I must say they probably have about 10 dishes out displayed. I love how the variety wasn't so large because they can keep track of quality control. I tried every single dish and everything they had out was incredible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came alone, but next time I'm bringing my family. I think my family would love this. It's definitely a family dynamic environment. Almost feels close to home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The Food was so good and best of all Authentic! All you can eat Buffet and price was good for what we ate. Service was amazing, Waiters came out asking if you wanted Naan Or more drinks and to make sure everything was perfect with your meal.

Just found this little gem for lunch today and it was nothing short of AMAZING! Staff was very friendly, [[HIGHLIGHT]]place was very clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and most of all...the food was great! Their naan was not your usual, but it was the best I've ever had. Different from the classic naan and garlic naan that I've had in the past, but definitely my favorite one so far. I suggest you try this place out for yourself and I can bet that you won't be disappointed. read more

We ordered the Chicken Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chana Masala, and Dal Makhani. It was all really good and the service is was great

Don't let the location fool you, the shopping center isn't the best but Punjab Palace is a hidden gem. The food was fresh and so much flavor. We did the buffet and loved everything, it was our first time. Will definitely be back! read more

I believe it is charcoal. read more

Punjab Palace - Tandoori Chicken - Indian Near Me - Norco, California

Second time and Punjab palace is my favorite Indian spot in southern California. Tandoori chicken is amazingly juicy and flavorful and the garbonzo beans were all my friends like the Tika masala but the chicken curry is my favorite. The owner and son manage this place and always friendly the moment you walk in. Highly recommend their buffet but excited about their dinner menu coming out soon as well! read more

This place is amazing. I have tried many Indian spots and this place is the best by far! The food is amazing, the server Kimberly and Kahendi came to check on our table so many times I lost count. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment they created was great to just have a chill night with your friends or family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is a staple in my books from here on out! read more

If you want authentic Indian food, this is THE SPOT! Good food is hard to find, good people are even harder to find. Not only is this going to be the best chicken tikka masala you'll ever eaten in the entire existence of your life, these are kind, friendly, and good people. The Tandoori chicken is dripping with juice, rice pudding amazing, chicken and goat curry delicious, paneer tasty, this place will have your taste buds explode in your very mouth and make you have a chefs palate. Very heart warming and you will be blown away by their heart and food. 100/10 recommend! 100 stars!!! read more

We were invited to this restaurant for a graduation luncheon. It was SUPER GOOD!! This was our first time eating Indian food and they did NOT disappoint. Would definitely regularly patronize this fine establishment in the future. Pros- The food was so good and being vegan they have lots of options of vegetable dishes available. These are not just any veggie dishes, they are so tasty and flavorful that you don't even miss the meat! The customer service was first class. We were greeted warmly and checked on often from the time we arrived until the time we left to ensure we were enjoying everything. It was a buffet style but not like your average buffet. The food was like a delicious authentic home cooked meal. They provided a couple types of breads, drinks desert and even a chai latte for after dinner which were served to us. read more

I heard this restaurant opened up on Facebook and was eager to try an Indian restaurant not too far from home. I'm glad we went. The food was delicious and the server was very attentive. He went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Will definitely come back in the future. My main critique is the food has a tad too much oil in it. read more

I went there today with my friend. We were greeted by the cheerful owner. Father and son's operation. All the foods were ready to be served and to entice customers' taste buds. Foods were fantastic. Chicken Marsala was my very favorite. The owner took the time to converse with customers and made it sure patrons were pleased with foods and services. To end our meal today, we had a savory rice pudding dessert and chai tea. We will be back to this restaurant again. read more

This restaurant just opened in the last few weeks. We stumbled upon it by accident. We arrived at 10:30am which was before their normal opening time but they graciously let us in early to sit down while they finished preparing the food. They were serving buffet style on this day. At the buffet steam table, they had about 3 meat dishes and about 6 veggie dishes, plus a side bar of garnishes and dessert.Everything we tried was delicious, hot, and fresh. They gave us gratis stuffed naan, which was something we never tasted before but it was fantastic. The service was fantastic, from the server and the chef. We found out it is a family run business, so they add a touch of tender loving care to everything they do. Drinks were included in the price. Will definitely come back again. read more

I've always wanted to try this place, so I went today, and it was horrible! my food had hairs in it, and I told the workers, and they did nothing about it. i asked to talk to the manager, and he was so rude, I've never been spoken to like that in my life. someone needs to go and inspect because I know they shouldn't be in business. I want to give this place ZERO STARS!! Don't go here, and save yourself money and time. read more

I went to this place couple weeks ago,,, there buffet is so expensive compare to others and they don't have much items and fresh items for buffet($18.99). Food was so bad, doesn't look like fresh to me. Not recommending this place. read more

Food and service were excellent! Yes, I went back about 2 weeks after I wasn't happy about the restaurant being unexpectedly closed on one of their normal business days. The owner graciously admitted to this and offered my family complimentary meals. Glad we decided to give them another chance! The food was very flavorful. We especially liked the chicken masala and the fried veggie fritters. Khendi (owner) was very friendly and attentive. We will definitively be back! read more
