Taj Palace - 67. Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Love the kind staff. Most recently had the Shahi Paneer on the vegetarian menu- so flavorful, and I love the cheese cubes (paneer is my fave!). My favorite Indian joint on the Missouri side. read more

Taj Palace - Vegetarian menu - Indian Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

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! read more

Taj Palace - Indian Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

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. read more

Amazing food and pricing. They accommodated a 20 people party and did with with good service thankfully.

My new favorite Indian food place! The sag paneer and chicken Tikka masala were exquisite! Friendly waitstaff. We came for dinner - I'm curious to try the lunch buffet. read more

The best Indian food in KC by far! amazing flavors, you can choose your spiciness level, so it's ok white people.

Went here for lunch today. Great as always. On the weekends they have all you can eat buffet. The food is always fresh and so good. The buffet is great to be able to try a little bit of everything. The service is always great and they are always making sure nothing runs out. Highly recommend! read more

Our favorite Indian place in KC! We moved and still drive 20 minutes for food from here. The owner is always in house and so kind. Dine in and take out are both excellent experiences. Highly recommend chicken tikka masala and any of their naan breads. Will be loyal customers for years to come. read more

My family has been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years. We have never been disappointed by the quality of the food and have yet to find an Indian buffet that matches this one in flavor, options, quality, and quantity. Go to the buffet! It is the best deal! read more

I didn't take photos because I was so hungry I forgot! I love this place because I cannot tolerate most dairy (milk, cream, etc). Taj Palace will make your favorite dishes with coconut milk -- which is what I ordered tonight, chicken tikka masala with coconut milk, extra rice, and naan. It was delicious! I have been here many times and will be back! read more

We are new to the neighborhood and needed take out - so happy we found this place! Their lamb biriyani had excellent spice and the saag paneer was great. Generous portions for the price as well! We can't wait to order again and try a few different things on the menu. read more

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. read more

Taj Palace - Chili chicken lunch platter - Indian Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

The lunch buffet was appalling. Don't waste your money. I should've known better. I couldn't eat half the chicken. It tasted as it was reused from several days ago. The icing on the cake was the waiter who I am presuming, was the owner by the way he presented himself. He was extremely snarky. He wouldn't remove the plates from my table because I clarified which plates to remove and then to boot he gave me some snarky comment as the final bill was $19 and the lunch buffet was $16 so I didn't know how the additional three dollars was tapped on. I'm not from Missouri so the tax rate seemed exorbitantly high. He literally gave me a snarky comment. I didn't tip him. he followed me out the door and muttered something seemed very odd very bad vibe. That guy was definitely way out there. Bad vibes in general. read more

We've been going to Taj Palace for years. Have always loved their food but have never left a review. Because of Covid concerns, my wife & I had not been for a few years. Today (08/2024) we went back & were blown away by the food. Even better than we remembered. Outstanding chicken masala, curry chicken, chili chicken, naan, literally everything including the rice was perfectly prepared & delicious. Enjoy with a hot chai & you'll have an outstanding meal. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We enjoyed the buffet for lunch, and thought the tandoori and vegetarian items were excellent. Service was good. The only thing I didn't love was the decor and restrooms were dated and not as pleasant. read more

Wonderful people run this restaurant and I prefer to support small businesses. The food was all very well prepared and fresh. The garlic naan was amazing! My only disappointment was the Raita. It was white and thick with shredded carrots in it. I'm used to a thinner light green version sans carrots. I recently moved here from the East Coast after 35 years so it may just be a Midwest Vs East coast thing. read more

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. read more

Chicken korma was the best thing we ate, the spice level was perfect. The naan bread was also a top pick. The service was checking back and I love the location on 39th street. read more

Everything was wonderful. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and pleasant. The food was amazing especially the butter chicken. I've never tasted anything so delightful. I will definitely be coming back again and again. read more

Sometimes I think that me and my roommate are keeping this place open because of how often we order from here. It's great for take out and dine in. Everything I have ordered from here has been absolutely delicious, and the portions are large. They bring you tons of rice and give you tons of rice in your take out order, and I always get at least 2 meals out of my entree. We are addicted to the garlic naan. This is our favorite Indian restaurant we have tried in the KC area because of the bang for your buck and the flavor! Parking on 39th is somewhat of a challenge on busy weekends, but you can always find a spot on a side street. If you're picking up food, I recommend bringing a friend to hop out while you circle the block, but sometimes you can swing over right in front of the restaurant if you're lucky! read more

Vegetable Samosa was excellent! Love the food here. Friendly and fast pickup service as well! Thank you!

Beware of restaurant's time/closing policies! We entered the building with a couple minutes more than an hour until closing, and the manager hovered over us, pressuring us to order as soon as possible. This was our first red flag. With our rushed orders placed, we began to settle in, but we soon noticed something brown floating in our water and a fork with caked-on residue. The manager then began to very loudly reprimand his one server due to a simple miscommunication. Our food arrived quickly and we started to enjoy our meal. An elderly couple arrived around 8:30 PM (30 mins until close). The manager seated them and then began to bicker with them and pressure them to order ASAP. Other customers tried to enter around 8:40 PM, which the manager would not seat, so they started to leave, but he followed them to the door saying they could order and eventually sat them at a table. We really tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt, and the food was good, but the manager's behavior and attitude with patrons/staff really left a bad taste in our mouths. It was a struggle to not pick up our things and just leave. Will not be returning. read more

Taj Palace - Garlic Naan, Lamb Biryani, Tandoori Shrimp, Lamb Korma - Indian Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Taj Palace had some great food and I would 100% return. Hopefully one day I can actually dine in! Right now, they are still doing take out only. Go and support them! Right on 39th street, it's easy to get to, though parking might prove a little difficult down here. I love that they have countless vegetarian options! I ordered the Mushroom Mattar Makhni and it was incredible. Basically a tikka masala flavor but without meat and with mushrooms instead! Can't go wrong. I love supporting foreign cuisine in KC and this place has definitely got it going on. It's a bit pricey, but nothing out of the ordinary for Indian food. The portion sizing is good, so overall I was pleased! read more

Excellent service and hearty food. Very good hospitality and fast service. I recommend the dinner for 2 option as well.

Had the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, garlic naan, Kashmiri naan, and the masala chai, everything was AMAZING. So delicious. The owner took our order personally and was very kind and generous. The restaurant was beautiful, lovely atmosphere. read more

Delicious!! Great service. I ordered for pickup: Aloo Gobhi, Bhindi Masala and two rotis. I asked for them to be vegan and I asked for no oil on the roti. Everything was better than expected. Great portions, amazing flavor and not greasy or oily. So often there are restaurants that serve dishes swimming in oil. The Bhindi Masala was particularly flavorful. I've never had any better. I am from out of town, but when I come here, this is my restaurant of choice. Delicious! read more

Very tasty butter chicken. Good portion size that left me stuffed after being very hungry. Friendly staff, and quick pick up time.

Food was great, service was excellent and the ambience was nice. My husband and I had a wonderful intimate dinner with no interruptions. Check them! You won't be disappointed. read more

Do you ever get a sudden urge to order Indian food out of nowhere? Well if you do, I would highly recommend you do what I did and order from Taj Palace. This is one of the better go-to takeout places in Midtown KC. I'm not just saying that because they give you a small container of rice pudding for free when you order from them. This time around I decided on the Lamb Saag and Garlic Naan. The containers seemed small at first, but boy was I wrong. Once the food was put together on my own plate, it looked liked a full meal. The Lamb Saag was delicious and contained an abundance of large chunks of meat. I found the rice to be a little cold, but this was easily solved by mixing in the saag with each bite. I personally believe that garlic naan bread is a must for any Indian meal. The ones from Taj Palace are always well made and compliments the meal nicely. The portions are large and provides a very filling dinner, especially once you top off with the complimentary rice pudding! Lamb Saag: 8/10 Garlic Naan: 10/10 (it's simply not possible to not like this) There really isn't much to complain about the food at Taj Palace. This restaurant is worth the try the next time you have that sudden urge for good Indian food! read more

Taj Palace - Lamb Saag and Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Just ate there today. For a buffet Taj is really good. I didn't even know it existed. The buffet has everything from chicken samosas to a mango drink. Chicken korma, spicy chicken which is really spicy, and balsamic rice. There's another kind of rice and then sauces. Oh and they have dessert too. And fry bread!! I didn't begin to list everything. The service was top notch and food was delicious.The server knew one of our guests. What a cool find. read more

Paneer tikka masala and aloo ghobi were amazing. Service was fast and efficient. Will definitely come back when in KC.

Great service, great Tika masala & butter chicken. Everything on the lunch buffet was great

Was recommended this place after an interview in the area. Got take out of the chicken saag, chicken samosa, veggie samosa and their garlic and onion naan bread. Food was incredible. I'm probably a little biased since I love saag but it was just what I needed on a cold day. Chicken pieces were large and they were generous with their portions. Rice that came with was pretty standard. The samosas were crispy and packed to the brim. I felt that the chicken ones were a little on the dry side and they were mince. The veggie ones were terrific though. This place serves garlic naan and onion naan. You want the naan that has BOTH. It can be easily confused but the two together make it as amazing as you'd imagine the combination being. Highly recommend. If you're across the street from KU definitely go check this place out. read more

I eat at tan palace twice a month when I go to KU to see my doctor. It is usually very delicious. The naan was amazing but the chicken tikka this time was flavorless. It tasted like tomato sauce with chicken. I don't know what happened but it didn't even look right. Since I live 45 minutes away I didn't go back to correct it. Very disappointing read more

The food was great, they had good service, decent atmosphere, but the food that's what gets it a 5 star.

The food is tremendous! My 1st time trying eating here and I would definitely come back again. I haven't eaten at any other Indian food places around KCMO but this one set the bar pretty high. read more
