I really like this place!! Had the Butter chicken with garlic Naan and it was absolutely delicious!!! Very good and efficient service. Food came quickly and was nice and hot and so tasty. When you walk in...the fantastic smell just surrounds you and I mean that in a good way. Definitely will be back!!

very bad food, as soon as you taste the food you can tell it's oven warmed. service is not so good. Hot ambiance inside the restaurant.

We got carryout and ordered the chicken Tikka masala which came with rice and naan. The Tikka masala is my favorite of all local Indian restaurants. It's not just a sweet tomato sauce; it has complex spice flavors that make it stand out compared to other chicken Tikka masalas. The front staff was prompt and friendly. The price is also reasonable. It even included a 10% coupon for our next visit. Needless to say we will be back.

First time ordering from here! Got a DoorDash since it's nice and close to work. I was cravings some tikka masala and this place hit the spot. Definitely need to order hotter next time as medium didn't have any heat, but with Indian food I'd always rather play it safe rather than sorry. Not much to say, everything was fresh and tasted just how tikka masala should! Big pieces of garlic naan to go with! Will be ordering from here again and trying other dishes as well.

I took my team of 10 people for the lunch buffet there today. I don't mean for this review to be a bashing, but a representation of what the 10 of us thought. The buffet spread was extremely limited 1 veg dish, chana, black daal & veg biryani. The non veg had sweet butter chicken, chicken curry, dry tandoori chicken and chicken biryani. The veg items were extremely disappointing. The butter chicken was sweet. The biryani was the only decent item. There was only 1 dessert - rice kheer which in our view was average at best! Even the tea was extremely bad! The service was very good, but that alone cannot justify our returning back to this place. I am not going into extreme details of each dish because I don't want the owners to suffer due to a poor review. I hope they take this feedback constructively and make some changes soon.

So, every Christmas I go out to eat and try to find a new place to try. My friend and her husband suggested we come here, and I thought, why not? Pulling in, the place is in a shopping center literally on the corner of 15 mile and Dequindre. Walking in, the place is well decorated and felt great. While not a huge space, they did a great job of making use of it with tables and the buffet off to the side in the back.The buffet had vegetarian and non veggie dinner options. I stuck mostly with the chicken dishes and let me tell you the food was good! Not only were there plenty of options, but everything was labeled so I knew was I was trying in case I wanted to order it individually in the future. They also had a separate bar area for the yogurt sauce and a few other toppings. My only complaint was the yogurt sauce was runnier that I would have personally liked. There was plenty of plates and a server checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Made sure we had drink refills and all that good stuff. The food itself was fabulous and the naan was fresh and delicious. Overall I had a fabulous meal here and would gladly return in the future.

Update review:I came back twice for the buffet after not having a good chicken biriyani take out. The buffet was really good! I give high ratings for their buffet options. The chicken variations with butter chicken, chicken gosht, chicken korma, and chili chicken. Allll sooo good and has its own unique taste. I'd come here multiple times over. MULTIPLE BUFFET TIMES!! Lunch during the week, weekend and on Saturday night! Definitely a unique option that other places don't have. It's absolutely family friendly with a pleasant ambiance and seating. The staff were super considerate about how many times to come to the table and were kind and pleasant without being interruptive during a mouthful of food. I've had places that asked too many questions LOL while I was eating so I have a weird pet peeve on that haha. My gf and I loved it :)

Horrible experience! First of all the AC was off! It was hot inside when it was 48 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I had buffet with my family and not even a single item satisfied us. We had to leave the place without even finishing the meal! I would not recommend this place. Also its not an Indian restaurant!

Love going to buffets. Especially ones like Shahi Palace. They offer a dinner buffet is served every Saturday from 6pm-10pm and features 32-40 different menu items. You'll find all your favorite Indian dishes, plus a few surprises! And if you can't make it for dinner, their lunch buffet is served every Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 11:30am-3pm. -Lunch Buffet $14.99-Dinner Buffet: $17.99

I came here with a few friends a few months ago hoping that there was finally a desi restaurant in the area I could become a regular at. Sadly, I left disappointed. We ordered a variety of dishes ranging from Gobi manchurian to biryani, and so many of them were complete misses.The waitress was not aware at all about the menu items and was not able to help answer any questions we had about dishes. We ended up ordering the shahi biryani, gobi manuchurian, chicken korma, tikka masala, chicken 65, and some naan. The chicken 65 was cooked nice and crisp without being dry inside, but could definitely use a lot more spice. The chicken korma wasnt bad, about a 7/10. Everything else, I would pass on and not order again. The tikka masala was unlike any tikka masala I've ever had. The color was closer to butter chicken (completely yellow), and while I know every restaurant makes their dishes differently, being desi and having tried the dish countless times in my life I can assure you what was served was not tikka masala. When we pointed this out to the owner, he admitted that they had accidentally made us butter chicken. They remade the dish for us, but it tasted exactly the same to us the second time around as well. As for the gobi manchurian, we ordered the appetizer version that is meant to be served crisp. The dish we received was drenched in chili sauce and soggy. When we provided the feedback that the dish would have been nore palatable had it not been drenched in sauce, the owner admitted that they had put in the order for the entree gobi manchurian with gravy accidentally (which was also double the price) instead of the fried appetizer. Despite the error on their part, they did not remove the dish from our bills and we were charged for the entree version.I am open to giving this place another shot in a few months and hopefully they have a more efficient process of order intake and prepping their dishes by then.

I've been to many Indian restaurants in the area and this by far has the highest quality. Although new in town, I believe this will be a restaurant my family and friends will definitely return to.

Absolutely the best and most well priced Indian place around!! You must try. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Gobi Muncharian, pudding, and tea and it was all fabulous! The owner and employees came and talked to us and it showed how deeply they care about their food and restaurant. Great service and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming yet spacious. Will be coming back for the lunch buffet!! 10/10! I want to try everything on the menu.

Absolutely would not recommend. I ordered through GrubHub and the food arrived was not packaged properly and I had half the food spilled inside the bag. Definitely the restaurant's negligence towards quality. However, I think it was a warning because the food gave me an upset stomach and acid reflux that lasted the entire weekend and I am still recovering from it - this is coming from a person who has a lot of tolerance to spice levels and food prep and what not. Absolutely would not recommend this place.Additionally this seems to be the same address as another restaurant which gave me a similar experience a few weeks ago. Upon checking the reviews I found that the one 5 star review that this restaurant seems to be from an inside person because true caller shows me the same name. Beware people! Food is definitely not worth risking 2 days of acid reflux!
