    Very good service. The host and waiter is attentive. Food is so good! A must visit if you’re in the area. You can rarely find authentic and delicious Indian food like this. Def 10/10 recommend and will order bread naan and this shrimp dish again. Also definitely start with some samosas.

    Great tasting india food in a cozy atmosphere with terrific service and personal attention. We were tired after a long day of roaming the city and were planning on going to another place around the corner when my son said India Palace had a better rating. Now i know why it does!From the get go, this is one of the few places left that offers papad and chutney while you wait for your food. The coriander chutney was delicious...truly it was. That set the pace for the rest of the meal.You can order a thali here and you are allowed to pick which options you want in it and they make it fresh. They dont give you reheated food. This was truly a great dining experience and the owner has paid attention to the little things that make customers happy. The tables were pre set with extra napkins for all diners. My daughter dropped her knife and the waiter automatically brought another one. The chef and owner came out and said hello. I loved the experience as i am sure anyone who dines here will.The food was delicious and perfectly spiced. All fresh ingredients and made with attention to detail.Thank you India Palace.

    This place is a hidden GEM if you want Indian food in Manhattan! The food is amazing and the service is extraordinary. The manager lady is pleasant and the chef cares to know make the best food for you. It has desi Indian aesthetic and feels authentic.

    This place is a gem! Had a pleasant dinner with friends and my son. My son is a picky eater and this was his second experience with Indian cuisine. He cleared up everything that was served for him. It was incredible to watch him savor every bite along with everyone else. The chicken tikka masala was cooked perfectly, samosas were fried to perfection, the rice was fluffy and airy. We also had a spinach dish that I can not pronounce as long as a spicy curry shrimp dish that were more flavorful than spicy. You can’t come here without also ordering the garlic naan! I plan on coming back here next time I have extended family in the city!

    My friend took me out to lunch for my birthday. Love the Lunch menu of vegetable thali! Its my first time here but it will not be the last. I couldnt finish my meal so I brought it home to share with my husband. My husband is very particular with food and he loved it! Excellent service, excellent food, lovely decor, ambiance and music. The experience transported me to India. Awesome birthday lunch!

  • Review 6 (2024-09-26 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommended Indian restaurant. My friends & I tried Malai Kofta and Paneer Masala with naan. They even made it without onion & garlic for one of my friend. Great service and ambience!!

    Cutest homemade Indian cuisine 😍Malai Kofta - creamy sauce with kofta potato balls 😍 to die forVegetable Samosa - super home cooked, it doesn’t even last until the next day! Made fresh everyday!Drinks: Mango lychee lassi !!!!

    Incredible restaurant!! I went there with my parents and sister it was our first time trying this place and we didn’t have super high hopes because we didn’t think there would be such a good Indian spot in the upper east. However we were wrong it did not disappoint the food was full of flavor and the waitress/hostess (I think her name is kushi)was the biggest sweetheart ever and even gave us free desert in the end. Will definitely be coming back

  • Review 9 (2022-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    We had vegetable samosa, chicken butter, and malai kofta. Highly recommend malai kofta - it is a fresh, creamy and a little bit sweet vegetable curry that the owner herself recommended. I am a huge fan of Indian vegetarian food and have been in India four times - I guarantee that this curry is a must try! The environment and service were very nice for Saturday dinner. Will come back!

  • Review 10 (2024-10-12 - Rating: 5)

    The chicken korma and butter chicken are phenomenal, and so is the naan! Service is absolutely amazing too, especially the owner. Highly recommend!

  • Review 11 (2023-01-14 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite in the area. The naan is the best Ive had in NYC. The lamb korma is incredible. We come here at least once a month to order something different and it has always consistently impressed me.

  • Review 12 (2022-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    Lovely dinner at this restaurant with the family. Mahbub the manager gave us great recommendations on the “ Thali “ that my husband and I ordered. Aubergine Curry was the best I’ve had with Chana and Daal delicious too. Kids loved Chicken Saag and Lamb Masala. Mahbub made us feel special and welcome and is very passionate about the restaurant. Would definitely recommend the food! Enjoy

  • Review 13 (2024-11-03 - Rating: 5)

    I’m no Indian food expert by any means, but I stopped by to takeaway butter chicken I was craving. I came just as they opened, and just the vibes that the owners gave were so sweet and kind!The butter chicken was supposed to be emergency food id freeze to eat later, but I had a bite and ended up crushing the whole thing!

  • Review 14 (2024-10-29 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a gem. We are a family with Indian roots and know and appreciate our Indian food. We had struggled to find a good Indian restaurant in Manhattan (often going instead to Jackson heights) until we found India Palace. The dishes are made with care and offer authentic flavours. Moreover I have to congratulate the management for their standout service. Recently we ordered a big meal again and the food just wasnt of the usual high standard so I wrote to them to share our feedback. The restaurant quickly responded and sent us the next day 2 complimentary dishes which were again of an exceptional quality. Bravo for the customer service and bravo as well for doing the necessary to maintain the quality of your food. Thank you so much!

    Amazing. Healthy, authentic, homemade indian food. Good prices aswell.

  • Review 16 (2023-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    Small but homey spot with great food! We ordered samosa, tarka dal, and chicken tikka masala. We also ordered naan. Everything was great and service was very attentive. We were even given free rice pudding which was so delicious. This is definitely an affordable hidden gem in the neighborhood. We will definitely back to try the thalis.

  • Review 17 (2023-09-11 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely 10/10!! The owner is the loveliest and her food is incredible. I highly recommend the Samosas, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, and Lamb Tikka. If it’s nice, sit outside and enjoying people watching or inside is great too. All around fantastic!

  • Review 18 (2024-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    Phenomenal lunch options and variety. Fresh dips and perfect naan.

  • Review 19 (2023-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    My new lunch spot! I just stumbled into India Place and Im so glad I walked in. The owners were so kind and I appreciated their lunch special recommendations. Their dal is perfectly spiced. Im excited to try more of their menu soon!

  • Review 20 (2023-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    The food here is absolutely amazing. The Tikka Masala has a uniquely rich flavor. And the Bhuna is also something you don’t see everywhere and very delicious too. Jalfrezis aren’t too common at Indian restaurants but good see it here and it has a nice vegetable-forward sauce.Location is a bit unfortunate with the FDR on-ramp traffic but the food and staff more than make up for it. Say hi to the Mexican cavalera out front ;)

  • Review 21 (2024-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    Visit this place many times. Stuff is friendly and attentive. Food is yummy and the price is reasonable .atmosphere is outstanding. Lamb vindallo and Nan bread is superb. Traditional Indian and bangali tea is full of flavour and authentic. Can’t wait to visit this restaurant again.

    Great food and atmosphere! The owner is so sweet, just an amazing place!

  • Review 23 (2023-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    Authentic rajsthani/ north Indian food in a cozy corner. Very good hospitality. Awesome and kind staff. Walking distance from Indian consulate, NYC.We ate veg thali, which came with 1 poori and rice, 3 veg of your choice, raita, sweet- rice pudding, salad, and complimentary poppadum with 3 different dips for $18.75. The quantity was more than an adult could finish. We also enjoyed hot samosa and French fries, which was very reasonably priced. Overall, it was a very good experience of dining in this restaurant. We will surely come back again.

  • Review 24 (2023-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    I visited this restaurant this past Mothers Day with my family. The venue has festive decor that showcases south Asian culture with sophistication. The waitstaff was courteous and very attentive. Our meals and drinks came promptly and requests were accommodated with ease. The food was incredible. The tandoori chicken was succulent and mouth watering. The chicken tikka masala was flavored perfectly. The beef Kosta kebab took me by complete surprise. Im usually not a fan, but it was delicious at this restaurant, perfectly spiced and nuanced with different dimensions of flavor. I love this restaurant and it will be my go to spot for delicious Indian food going forward.

    Such great food!!! Got a great recommendation over the phone for the chicken buhra. We also got the garlic naan palak paneer and complimentary rice and crispy things for dipping. SOOOOO yummy def coming back. Very efficient and sweet staff!

  • Review 28 (2022-12-30 - Rating: 5)

    Me and my boyfriend had a day trip to New York from new Jersey, would definitely come back again! The only thing to critique would be the tikki masala (lamb and chicken), wish there was more spice. Overall it was a great experience! The nicest staff and the best rice pudding (I have never liked rice pudding until trying theirs).

  • Review 29 (2022-05-15 - Rating: 4)

    Lamb meat was so soft - best Ive had in a lamb curry. Chicken curry and garlic naan were also delicious. Wed come again, but just a note to management - just make sure you pay attention to hygiene especially when you are brand new to the neighborhood.Love that the Indian food choices are expanding in the neighborhood.

  • Review 31 (2024-01-23 - Rating: 5)

    My friend and I were craving Indian food so we decided on India Palace.I ordered the Lamb Masala with white rice and she ordered Chicken Masala with white rice and some garlic naan.Upon arrival everything was warm and there wasnt any spillage. The one thing I will say is that I wish there that the bowls were labeled between the chicken and the lamb Masala.I thoroughly enjoyed my food and my friend and I had no complaints! It was well-seasoned and the sauce went well with the naan. The meat was cooked well and it wasnt hard to chew.I would recommend ordering from here!Thank you again India Palace !

  • Review 36 (2023-08-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great option for Indian food. I liked the chains masala and the mixed veggies. Another person loved the chicken masala and the butter chicken. They said the bread was delicious. I really liked the rice and they bring you different sauces with another bread. The lunchboxes are a great way to taste everything. The service was really nice and helpful. Ill definitely come back.

  • Review 37 (2024-04-12 - Rating: 5)

    This is a gem of a place. The food is amazing. you can select 3 different dishes lamb, chicken or vegetable for the lunch special. Try the cheese naan. you will never go back to plain naan.

    The whole staff and experience was amazing. They hosted a surprise birthday party for me and the food was halal and absolutely delicious 😋 It was a beautiful, clean, and cozy environment to spend a good night with loved ones ❤️Keep up the great work team at India Palace!

  • Review 39 (2022-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    One of my favorite Indian places on UES so far. Great food, very generous serving sizes, and solid service.Seems to still be under-appreciated due to being relatively new and tucked around the corner, so no long lines, at least for now...I will definitely be back.

  • Review 40 (2023-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing food and service! The chicken tikka masala and mango lassi were delicious, and the naan and veggie samosa were incredibly fresh. Would highly recommend as a great spot for flavorful and authentic Indian food!

    Run dont walk to get some of the most delicious Indian food in the city! We got the samosas, saag paneer, chicken tikka masala, and a shrimp curry and wow. Everything was so flavorful, so hearty. The saag paneer was by far my favorite - it was so comforting, perfectly balanced seasoning, like if you could translate the feeling of a warm hug into a dish.The owner of the restaurant is also the nicest lady. She’s so hospitable and i really felt taken care of!10/10 recommend!

  • Review 52 (2024-09-05 - Rating: 4)

    We were actually planning to go to Imli, which is close by but it’s closed now. So we went here. The ambience is great, although it’s a small restaurant. But their hospitality is amazing. Server and the owner were very welcoming, they even had suggestions for what to order among their best food!We had chana masala and their onion and garlic naan.They even serve papad with 3 different chutneys (sauces) as well, it was tasty! As I am someone who loves papad!Chana masala came with rice and it was delicious! Tangy and spicy! (We ordered it to be spicy)Naan were good, fluffy and soft!They even offered us some kheer (rice pudding) as complimentary.Overall, it was an amazing experience. Songs were good too! Old Bollywood songs!They had a small restroom as well, which was clean and tidy.

    Amazing! I ordered the lunch special to take out. The meal included appetizer, vegetables, chicken, rice and dessert. The flavors are so good.

  • Review 54 (2024-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    10 mins walking distance from Roosevelt Island Tram. I had been here with my family. A small to mid size restaurant, but dont underestimate the taste of the food.Food has better quantity, quality and I found a bit reasonable price as compared to other Desi restaurants around TIMES SQUARE.Staff is also courteous and they will suggest good menu in case you are confused. Limited vegetarian menu, but its worth.Good non-vegetarian menu.Asif was the server and I think when we went he was the one serving most of the tables. But he was doing the service very diligently.I would recommend this restaurant.PS - Do look for parking space in case you are coming by your own car. I didnt find a much dedicated parking place. Other than that, no problem.

    A welcome addition to the neighborhood - After too many forgetful attempts to try the new restaurant Im sad I didnt try it sooner.The food is rich and flavorful, portion sizes plentiful, and both the service and delivery were excellent. I plan for India Palace to be part of my weekly rotation until I can sample every item on the menu! Highly recommend this down to earth neighborhood gem!You get all the flavors and spices of traditional Indian cooking without any one overpowering the others - which given their ~40 year history in Bayridge is no surprise. Im thrilled to be a part of this restaurants new chapter in Manhattan!

  • Review 71 (2024-06-10 - Rating: 4)

    Actually 4 and a half stars (I dont allow myself more than one five star rating per year). This is a great place... relaxed, the music is not too loud... service and food were both excellent. There were six of us and each of us had something different. Being a Goan fan, I had the lamb vindaloo, not killer spicy (my request), but tasty and filling. The butter chicken also was much recommended by the person who ordered it. They have Kingfisher and Taj Mahal beer in the large bottles, and a great selection of lassi. Service was spot on, friendly, and they even turned down the AC for us!

    I’ve had good experiences at most Indian restaurants, but India Palace went above and beyond! First, their garlic naans are the crispiest I’ve ever had, delicious! The owner (Krishi) is a wonderful lady who makes sure you know that she is appreciative of your business. If possible, definitely try their chai (tea) after food - the tea doesn’t get more authentic Indian than this. Would also recommend their Butter Chicken which comes with a side of rice. Nice and large portion size. Would visit again!

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. From the moment we entered, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. The interior decor was beautiful, with colorful tapestries and lantern lighting setting an authentic ambiance.We started with a selection of appetizers including the onion bhaji, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and bursting with flavorful onions inside. The aloo tikki were also a standout - the potato patties were delicately spiced and went great with the cool and tangy tamarind chutney.For the main course, I ordered the chicken tikka masala. The chicken was so tender it fell off the bone and soaked up the incredible creamy tomato sauce. The flavors were complex, from the aromatic spices to the rich fenugreek and garlic. My partner had the Paneer vegetable, which also had an amazing depth of flavor from the long-simmered lamb in an onion-tomato gravy. Alongside our entrees, we had the garlic naan which was freshly baked in the tandoor and arrived fluffy and steaming hot at our table.To finish off the meal on a sweet note, we couldnt resist ordering the kulfi which was dense, creamy and packed with pistachios. It was the perfect way to end an incredible meal. From the food to the service and ambiance, everything was top-notch. I cant recommend this restaurant highly enough - its hands down one of the best Indian restaurants Ive been to!

    I had an amazing meal on this restaurant at last night. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. They seated us right away and our server came over within minutes to take our order. He made some great suggestions from their extensive food and snacks list.For appetizers, we ordered the samosas and the papdi chaat. The samosas were delicately fried with a flaky crust and filled with a flavorful mixture of potatoes and peas. The papdi chaat was a colorful medley of flavors and textures like crunchy chips, chickpeas, yogurt and an array of chutneys.For the main course, I had the chicken tikka masala which was out of this world. The chicken was so tender and marinated perfectly in a creamy, tomato gravy. My friend had the baingan bharta, which was smoky and rich. The naan bread was freshly baked in the tandoor oven and arrived piping hot at our table.Overall, the food was absolutely incredible. Every dish was packed with authentic Indian flavors yet the spices were perfectly balanced. From the appetizers to mains to dessert, each course impressed our table. The service was also top-notch. Our server was attentive, polite and happy to offer recommendations. I will definitely be back soon and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a 5-star Indian dining experience.

    Looking for authentic Indian cuisine? This is the place! We have eaten dinner here about 5 times and the food is consistently wonderful. I don’t like too much spice & they happily adjust it for my meals. The owners & servers are welcoming & engaging. It feels like you are eating in the home of good friends. Highly recommended!!!

  • Review 95 (2023-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    The food is incredible!! I think if you’re around the area or live nearby, you need to give this restaurant a try. New people are always so surprised they haven’t found this hidden gem.Starting with just the sauces for dipping papadums. All fresh and made in house. Samosas we’re just outta the oven. We ordered a chickpeas and lamb bhana dish. It was so, so delicious: strong spiced, not too overwhelmingly spicy, and really fresh ingredients. Highly recommend if you don’t like creamy/buttery sauces.They gave us a dessert on the house, and chatted about their origin. The owner has 30 years of history cooking and running restaurants. Def give this place a chance!!

    I’ve lived in NYC for 22 years. This is the best Indian food I’ve had. Warm, non pretentious atmosphere. We felt so welcomed. Family owned restaurant and you feel like you are in their living room and part of the family. We got Butter Chicken and Chicken Kurma. The chicken literally melted in our mouths. Incredible. One of those gem restaurant that you want to keep a secret for yourself but also want to give them tons of business. Run to eat there now.

    My husband and I ate here on a date night and it was fabulous! Not only was the atmosphere inviting but the food was delicious. Our waitress was extremely friendly and gave us the best food recommendations. We definitely plan on coming back!

  • Review 99 (2023-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    As soon as I entered I knew the food was gonna be good. The authenticity to culture and the gracious servers made the first few minutes enjoyable. I ordered the spinach paneer and butter chicken and thoroughly enjoyed both. All their food is served fresh including their specialty, naan. Their naan is fluffy, flavorful, and tasty with everything else on the menu. Ten out of ten experience on 62nd street and will come again. As a tourist, I have high hopes for the cuisine New York has to offer. I can say confidently that if you’re looking for some authentic desi dishes, India palace is the way to go.
