Their catering is equally outstanding—professional, timely, and consistently praised by guests. A special mention to Ranjit, the owner, whose politeness, genuine hospitality, and personal attention make all the difference. His kindness and dedication truly reflect the heart of India Palace.

Highly recommend for dining in, takeout, or catering—you’ll never be disappointed!“

“First time dining in and had a great experience! We usually order to go (malai kofta, palak paneer, dal makhani, and ofc their samosas!!), but noticed the menu was different for dine in and wanted to try it.

The food was incredible- homey, well spiced, and perfectly fried. They do such a great job at balancing flavors and making fried food crispy and not greasy. The owner/worker was so kind to us as always!

Here's what we got:

1) Chole bhature- incredible chickpeas and crispy fluffy bhature. This was def the best thing we got!

2) Samosa chaat- you can't come here without getting their samosas. They are the best, large and well seasoned. This came with the chole (my fave!)and was very filling

3) Vada pav- super tasty fried potato ball with green chutney in a bun

4) Gobi paratha- finely minced and delicate cauliflower in a paratha! It was so impressive how much cauliflower was in here without the paratha ripping.

5) Masala chai- made fresh to order! He told us how other places pre make chai and fridge it, but he makes it fresh to order. It was so good and not as spiced as you would think. Loved the warmth and delicate flavor

Come with the expectation to wait a little more than a usual restaurant, but it will be worth it because everything tastes homemade and masterful. Don't be intimidated! They have an English menu and the owner understands English pretty well. Def check it out and show them some love with dine in or takeout!

This type of authentic hole in the wall is hard to find and very treasured by the community- in the hour we dined in, we saw almost 10 different parties calling in catering orders, dining in, or picking up takeout orders. You can tell how respected and well loved this place is; it's a gem of MoCo for sure!“

“We celebrated Diwali here this evening and they were extremely accommodating as we had 28 people. They treated us like family and the food was excellent. They had a Diwali special Masala coke that everyone enjoyed so much. Special thanks to Dinisha who was an excellent host and took care of everything, so thankful for her. Wonderful time had by all and will definitely plan other events at Madras Palace.“
