    Color me surprised to find a legitimately delicious Indian buffet in downtown KC. Located a quick walk from the KU Hospital, the buffet features a good assortment of dishes at a variety of spice levels. The fresh lassi and hot chai were excellent buffet additions. I don't want my dad to be hospitalized again, but if he is I know where I'm going for a meal!

    Buffet with naan
    Christina F.

    Was close to KU and decided to google Indian restaurants near me and chose Taj Palace because it offered a lunch buffet. Restaurant was clean but decor very dated and in need of touching up and painting in places. The individual who seated me and attended the table was attentive, but not overly friendly. They had a small buffet where you could create a salad and the main dish buffet offerings were rice, naan or fried bread and a variety of chicken or vegetable dishes. The naan was crunchy, not the soft bread I am used to and the fried bread had no taste. I did try most of the dishes. There was a mushroom dish that was quite tasty and a spicy chili chicken that was good. The buffet is advertised at 16.95 yet my total was over 19 with water. Overall, it was just OK for me.

    Their lunch menu is very small and does not boast a full menu. I'll have to come back for dinner because I really wanted to try their vindaloo. I tried the chili chicken for lunch and it was delicious! Lunch also comes with naan, rice, chicken and a fried veggie app. Portions are huge, and you can easily get two meals out of the platter. I loved that we got a little bit of everything, it was a great way of having a buffet, while their lunch buffet was actually closed from Covid. The staff there are very kind and we got checked up on often. The owner is hilarious and very personable.

    Taj Palace! I don't have much to compare it to the other restaurants in KC, as this has been the only place i have gone so far (and for good reason!). When you need a quick fix of butter chicken or other Indian cuisine dishes, this is the place to go! There have been times where my friends and I ordered super last minute, but the owner has been so accommodating and eager to prepare our food! We are always greeted with friendly faces and conversations when we pick up our food. Their butter chicken is great and you can customize how spicy you want it. The portions are pretty big to match the price so I would say it's worth it -- I can always make a couple meals out of it. Their garlic naan pairs so well with the dishes, so definitely try to order that if you can too! I have also tried their chicken biryani, chicken vindaloo, mulligatawny soup, and mango lassi, and nothing so far has been displeasing to me. And to top it off, Queer Eye has visited! And I trust their taste ;) If you're ever craving Indian food, definitely consider coming to Taj Palace.

    Chili chicken, chicken 65, and chicken tikka masala

    The food was amazing!! Actually spicy when requested. Mango lassi was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. Ordered chilli chicken, chicken 65, and tikka masala. All came with rice and we ordered 2 garlic naans. Naan was warm and crispy. Service was good too.

    Taj Palace is movin' on up in my rankings and has quickly become our go-to Indian takeout spot, which is great news for them because our family has become straight up addicted to Indian food. One reason we hadn't gone here as often is that they aren't easy to find on any of the main food delivery apps, but that's not a problem for us as we live close enough to pop in for takeout. Their Covid-19 sanitation and processes make me very comfortable to recommend it for takeout, which is key right now and for the foreseeable future. Their Saag Paneer is amazing. They put just the right amount of spice in the 'medium spice,' and it can of course be nice and mild if that's your preference. It's creamy, but not overly so; some in town are way too creamy in my opinion, but this hits the right balance. Coming in second place is the Mutter Paneer in all its tomatoey goodness. Their garlic naan is a tad crispy and heavy on the garlic. In other words, delicious. I've never met a samosa I didn't like, and these are excellent. Even though they're fried, they're not too greasy. The veggie pakoras are not my fav, so we skip those. Lastly, they've been including a tiny cup of rice pudding in our to-go orders, so we finally ordered a full-size one and will do that again. It's just light and sweet enough to cap off a big spicy Indian meal, and my kiddo loves it. Very nice people running this place, and we're happy to both have them closeby and support them right now when we can.

    I rolled into KC hungry on a weekday afternoon, and walked just a few blocks through Westport…read morebefore doubling back for this spot. The menu in the window and the happy hour specials advertised outside drew me in! It's a low-key, casual place with counter service for carryout orders, as well as table service. The dining room has a few small tables about six booths and six barstools. One wall is painted a lively orange, and live plants line a ledge along the booths. I approached the counter and was invited to sit anywhere, then was promptly given menus. The menu includes lamb, beef, chicken, and vegetarian options (no pork). There's a nice selection of appetizers, plus burgers, calzones, pizza, gyros, and many Indian dishes including masala, curry, saag, briyani, and naan. I had a happy hour cocktail special and a gyro. The drink was plenty strong and well-balanced. The gyro was very tasty, with thick, moist chunks of meat. Though I would have preferred more lettuce and onions on it, I'm not sure what's proper and traditional, so no complaints! The server was very kind and polite. Atmosphere is not super conducive to lingering--there's loud pop music and bright lights--but it's a great place to pop in and get a good meal!

    Wonderful little spot…read more Excellent garlic naan and hummus. We really enjoyed the Masala Pizza. Omg, so yummy. We also got the Masala vegan burger and it was really good and full of great flavor. The fries were so good. Highly recommend!!
