“Best restaurant. Had amazing food“

“Sometimes you want to try a special Indian meal you can find at the usual place. It might be a good meal and more to your liking. It is very good and traditional to the way you expect it. However, the come times when you want to find the other version of Indian food you do not even know of. If you were lucky to visit India and explore, you notice that if you take the street behind the main street you find it different. This is the food the locals create and enjoy. It is their way of good "street food". There is a taste, a style and an expectation you cannot always find in another place. Finding India King Tandoor & Wine was just that. It sits at the end of a smalls trip mall with other restaurants and tastes. There at the end is a small location that, when you step inside, you are in the back street to try the street food that is special and a great experience. We stepped in and sat down. Sam, the gentleman who helped us, was perfect to be with. He told us what was available and what we can expect. He knew different things you could not find in other places around. Naturally, the first thing to start with was the Taj Mahal Beer. This is a rare beer to find here because it comes from India. And India King had it. It was what I had hoped to have with the meal. Of course, also had t have a Lassi - the typical drink in India. Fresh and healthy. Naturally, we placed our order and the kitchen cooked it fresh. This is not pre-made items. First u was the Samosas. These potato dumpling like roll was filled with potatoes and fresh peas and spices. The side dipping sauces added some sweetness and spice. The more you used, the spicier it became. This was ideal with the beer. Next up was the Lamb Korma...Made the way they make it in Delhi. It was small portions in a rich sauce and mixed with spices and falvour. Served over a bowl of white rice it was a good combination. Of course, simple Nan was way to enjoy and dip the nan into the bowl of sauce. The other dish was purely Vegan style Curry. This is normal in many portions of India where people do not eat meat and stick with vegetables. Again, having lived in India I am use to finding this. And here at India King they made it the way I would find it in a restaurant or on a cart on the street. It was creamy and warm and had a spice you do not find. It was rich and tasty and filled with fresh grilled vegetables that is a mix for the day. Do not expect only one type of item. It is mixed based on what was available for the day. Again. over rice and with garlic Nan it was being back in Delhi. Combining each meal with each other made it a true way to explore and see what it is to eat over there. But here, hiding in the back is India King. It is like being here, nbut really being back in India and trying a variety of meals you do not find anywhere else that you imagine. In the end, I would go back to India King. It reminds me of Delhi and where I could trust what I eat even from someone with a cart and fresh ideas. The price is good. The portions is a good size. Sam and the team are perfect. And the Chef is also the owner. It is good home cooking after all. Visit India King and visit the Taj Mahal beer. It benefits everything you can do here!“

“5 stars! We ate here today. Hands down the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had. Eaten at many Indian restaurants and while many of them are very good the flavor profiles at Curries is exceptional. Recommend mango chicken, garlic & onion naan breads, tandoori chicken, butter chicken. Taj Mahal beer was light and paired well with the meal. The super frosty mug was a nice touch. We can’t wait to come back again. They offer a weekend buffet which will be awesome to try the many other dishes. Staff was friendly and Sumi our waitress was very kind and a wealth of knowledge regarding Indian spices/remedies.“

“I took my daughter to Discovery Indian in Palm Harbor for her birthday dinner, and frankly, this was some of the best Indian food I have had in my life. I’ve eaten Indian cuisine all over the U.S. and extensively throughout Pinellas County, so I can tell when a kitchen is cutting corners. This place does not cut corners. The Food: This is Indian "soul food" at its finest. You can taste the difference between scratch-made cooking and the "sauce-in-a-jar" shortcuts many other places rely on. Aloo Tikki Chaat: If you order one thing, make it this. It was "love at first bite." The tamarind chutney was exquisitely balanced, and the mint chutney provided a cooling finish without stepping on the other flavors. The combination of sweet, cool, and savory was unlike anything I've tasted before. Entrees: We shared the Chicken Tikka Masala (excellent depth of flavor with perfect cardamom rice) and the Shrimp Biryani, which was executed with traditional techniques and total precision. Garlic Naan: You can tell immediately that this was made from scratch and cooked the right way in a tandoor. Mango Lassi: Don't skip this! It’s the perfect accompaniment to the meal. The Ambiance: One of the best parts of the evening was the atmosphere. It was refreshingly QUIET. In a world where every restaurant feels the need to blast loud music or have 20 different football games playing on screens, Discovery Indian is a sanctuary. I was actually able to enjoy my meal and have a conversation with my daughter without being overstimulated. The Service: The care and love for food shown in the kitchen extends to the overall experience. It was a relaxed, attentive, and high-quality dining experience from start to finish. We are already planning to come back and eat our way through the rest of the menu. If you want authentic flavors and a peaceful place to enjoy them, go here.“

“This is an annual stop when attending Phillies Spring Training in Cleatwater. Excellent food and warm, friendly staff make it a winner.“

“I had the lamb tikka masala and it was excellent! The dining area is upscale and the service was outstanding. Although not inexpensive, for the quality, quantity, and overall experience, I would definitely recommend Delhi Palace. They have an extensive selection of vegetarian dishes for those who prefer such and the sauces are very good.“

“This was my third time dining here, and the food, without a doubt, remains top-notch and absolutely delicious. Every dish was well prepared, flavorful, and the portion sizes were better than average for this level of dining. We arrived for our 6:00 p.m. reservation and were seated promptly. Service was excellent from start to finish, with our server and the support staff working seamlessly to make sure we always had everything we needed. The ambiance was spot-on, and the background music added nicely to the overall experience. The only drawback occurred right at 8:00 p.m.—two hours into our meal—when we were politely asked to leave because they had others waiting for our table. While I understand the need to manage table turnover and we were preparing to wrap up anyway, it was the first time I’ve experienced this, and it did feel a bit awkward. I suggest that management clearly communicate any time limits, either in the reservation notes or upon arrival, to avoid surprises. That said, this is still an excellent restaurant, and for fine Indian cuisine, we will definitely be back.“

“Very nice selection of vegetarian options. My husband and my family are Hindu vegetarian. We love everything about this place“

“I went here today for the first time because I was craving dosas. I have had them in a few other places, but these ones take the cake. The flavors were so well-balanced and it tasted very fresh and home-cooked. The soup, samosas, and mango lassi were also a hit. I will definitely be back here on a weekend and recommending it to friends!“

“Very helpful staff! Will be back for sure!“

“This place is amazing! I was a local And have been coming here for about 4 years now. This is the only Indian food I eat. No other place compares. Must try the butter chicken And garlic cheese naan. It is to die for. I now have moved about an hour and a half away and I’m still faithfully coming here.“
