We had a $700 order and we have been ordering from restaurants all week that have always messed up our order. THIS WAS THE FIRST ONE THAT GOT IT RIGHT. WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED! Also, the food was so good! The blooming Onion Bhaji was amazing! Just like Outback.

I normally just get masala sauce, but wanted to try something new. The Saag Paneer was delicious! Just more mellow in flavor than the rich tomato in Chicken Tikka Masala. The Garlic Cheese Naan was delicious although the garlic was slightly undercooked this time. The Aloo Paratha was good, although the potato tasted slightly undercooked as well. Chicken 65 was not worth the steep price, as the chicken was chewy/dry and it came in a little pint box. The flavor was good and smell was closer to sweet and sour chicken. I would order again, but still believe the price of anything with meat here is way over the necessary charge. Flavors are fresh every time

India Palace continues to be my go-to for some of the best Indian food in San Diego!
The Highlights:
• Lamb Karahi: Absolutely phenomenal. The lamb was incredibly tender and lean—practically melted in my mouth with zero gristle.
• Chicken Pakoras & Samosas: The pakoras had that perfect, satisfying crunch, and the samosas were packed with flavor. Great starters.
• Chicken Biryani: Really delicious and well-seasoned. The chicken was just a hair on the dry side, but the flavors were so good it didn’t even matter.
The One Catch:
I have to give a fair warning: skip the Diet Coke. For the second time in a row, the soda arrived completely flat and tasteless, almost like it was from a bad or expired batch (no expiration date on the bottles). Last time I got a partial refund, but this time I didn't get any resolution for it.
Bottom Line: The food is 8/10 and I’ll definitely be ordering again, but I’ll be buying my beverages separately next time.

We love India Palace and order from here often when we are in the area. Great portions and delicious food. We always get the Chicken Tikka Masala and Paneer Tikka Masala with Garlic Naan. Only concern is the steaming hot food in plastic containers (but since we only eat it once in a while, we don't worry too much). And it's SO YUMMY!!

Our food was flavorful, hot, and packaged with care. The Vegetable Korma is so well seasoned and creamy. My husband loved the Chicken Tikka Masala. The Mango Lassi is cold, creamy and sweet, the perfect beverage pairing.
