India Palace

The Lunch buffet offers a variety of both delicious vegetarian and meat options. This way everyone has been able to leave completely satisfied. The menu items also have plenty of vegan/​vegetarian/​gluten free choices. This resteraunt is definitely in my top 3 favorite places to eat in Flagstaff.

I recently returned and was hesitant to try it since the new owners took over, now the last time I came in I stated it was the best Indian food I have had in years, well somehow, they have gotten even better. Give them a try, you are sure to enjoy your meal…

My 12-​year old said it best — I have no idea what I just ate, but it was good.
We don’t normally eat Indian. Simply a lack of convenience. So, this popped up while we were out and about. We thought we would give it a try.
Saag Naan — a recommendation by our server. Fabulous!!! Naan stuffed with a mellow spinach/​cheese. Very tasty!
Mango Chicken — slightly sweet. The 12-​year old ate it all!
Tandoori Chicken — good, but spicy. Good flavor.
Namche Lamb — ordered extra spicy. I think he licked the bowl!
The service was good. Our waiter had a heavy accent, so that made ordering a challenge. I told him I had an allergy and he double checked everything brought to us and warned me multiple times about dishes I shouldn’t eat. Thank you for that!
My only complaint was the lack of water after our meal arrived — Bad timing with new tables being sat. They did well keeping water glasses full until our meal arrived. I felt like my lips melted off after the Tandoori chicken! I almost cried when I asked for water and he didn’t sprint to bring it to me.
There was a Unilocal special for a free dessert. We got rice pudding. I didn’t care for it, but the 12-​year old ate it all.
Overall — very good. I wish I could return for the lunch buffet

Good food. Perfectly spiced.
Attentive service…
Had Chicken Madras… Loved it.
Must admit I’m a curry holic… so I take some impressing!!!

Quick service. Here is what we had.
1. Kadhai paneer: okay, definitely not the best I have had
2. Thumka veggie noodles: this was very good.
3. Coconut ice cream: way to hard, didn’t taste good.
We were overcharged, so would recommend checking your bill. The owner was helpful.

Amazing Indian food, Tandori chicken is to die for and the Nan is amazing as well. Very nice atmosphere and décor, very reasonably priced.

My second favorite Indian restaurant in Flagstaff. Great view of the mountain and many discounts offered. Buffet comes with a drink, at least on the weekend. Tasty food and perfect nan.

Excellent lunch buffet! Great food and service the tandoori chicken is my favorite!
The staff are pros, the food changes daily.
A must stop for travelers and local alike!
Easy to get to plus parking is a plus the for downtown restaurant.

This place is owned from a man named Tara from Nepal. He is kind, considerate, and generous. The staff really care that you are cared for and have a good meal. The vegetarian options are very good as well.

O M G … OMG OMG OMG … there were four of us — up from Phoenix to enjoy the cool mountain spring day and an overnight before returning to the valley. An accident on i-​17 caused an almost 2 hour delay and we were HUNGRY. We missed the 3pm end of the buffet, and decided or just order off the menu.
Mango Lassi — Chicken Tikka Masala — Shrimp Vindaloo — Cali Matar — Chicken Korma — Garlic Naan — basmati rice. When the bowls appeared — I thought man… 4 big hungry guys. There’s no way we’re going to get out of here satisfied. Wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG.
I’ll review all at once because I’m going to just say the same things over and over again. First I don’t consider myself an expert in Indian food. I do, however, know that when the only thing that keeps me from licking the bowls and plates clean is that
1. I’d embarrass my dining companions,
2. I’m in public,
3. Mom would die if she heard I’d forgotten my manners, and
4. (The real reason) I was way too stuffed to do it!
i wanted to lick the bowls. I really did. They were there — teasing me. Tempting me to claim every last drop of sauce in them.
Everything was incredible. Spiced perfectly to the level we requested. Not overcooked (the chicken was tender — not dry) — Shrimp — tender — not tough. The cauliflower was tender without being mushy. Spot on. OMG … the flavors were out of this world. If there’s better indian cuisine out there that beats this — direct me there. Until then — my favorite indian food hands down. While we were sitting there visiting after we had finished — I kept waiting for the others to look away — can I get away with a little tongue lick?
No. #2 and #3 ruled. #4 was a factor too. Ok … and if they turned at the wrong time, #1 would be horrifying. So i scooped up a bit more of the sauce and casually dropped it onto my spoon… the closest I could get to licking the bowl. Most of them missed my actions — but if they did look, I was sanitary… I didn’t embarrass them — I think … mom might have shared her «I can’t believe it … but I still love you» look. Regardless — I didn’t get Masala on my mustache. SCORE!
Great service. Friendly. First place I’ll be next visit! Come join me! I promise to not lick the bowls.

Good food. Not great, but good. Many vegetarian and vegan options – along with the regular chicken, fish, and lamb dishes. The naan was OK. Tofu masala had awesome tofu. Medium spicy was what I expect medium to be. Authentic Tibetan music was playing. All in all, we enjoyed our food and we will be back!

I love Indian food and this place did not disappoint. The owner and the server were very nice. The korma and tandoori was slightly different from others, but still flavorful and delicious. I purchased the Unilocal offer, and Unilocal didn’t make it easy to find and use. I believe on purpose! That aside, the owner was very nice and was willing to give me the discount anyway.

A must try if your downtown-​The food was fresh and tasty and definitely left us satisfied. We had Tandoori grilled chicken and veggies, garlic Naan, chai, Butter and Tiki Masala. Yummy! Not to mention, the Great customer Service. We had the nicest servers who checked on us promptly, always made sure our drinks were filled and that we were satisfied with the food. We will definitely be back!

Our group of nine was quickly seated in the large open room for our 5 PM reservation. Soft chanting music from Tibet filled the air. The overall dining area is quite large and we were the only guess initially. Apparently this Indian-​Napalese-​Tibetan restaurant is under new ownership as of the middle of February. Having eaten Indian food extensively, we were excited to try the eclectic menu.
We started off with chai, mango lassi, samosas, and their version of chicken dumplings with a chutney sauce. For the main meal we ordered Chicken Tika Masala, Saag Paneer, Lamb Curry, Chow Mein, Tandoori Chicken, Tandoori Lamb Chops, Regular Naan and Garlic Naan. Service was extremely friendly and on point. They refilled our water often, checked frequently to see if we needed anything extra, and were very patient with all our large group of nine.
Overall the food was excellent. Fresh veggies and quality meat filled every plate. As far as I can tell there were no frozen vegetables or frozen anything used in their meals. We ordered a mild spice level due to the fact we are eating with some non-​spicy food eaters. I am used to very spicy food, so next time I would will order their spiciest version.

New management, new décor. Beautiful! 4 owners from Nepal who specialize in Indian, Nepalese, Tibetan cuisine. My husband and I sampled everything on the bountiful buffet table. I especially liked the spinach paneer and Tandoori Chicken and the sweet coconut carrot dish. If you’re a «senior», ask for the 50% discount for dinner. Definitely worth return visits from our Sedona home.

I am highly disappointed in the food the service here. The service is slow. We had to wait over an hour to receive our food and then it came out bland and cold. The tikki masala was blander than I have ever had. We asked if it can be taken back to have more flavor added to be a proper tikki masala. They took the dish back only to bring the same pot and told the «chef» added more flavor. The only flavor added was to make it spicy even though when I had originally asked the dish to be not spicy. «Adding more spices «is not making the dish more spicy. That doesn’t add flavor.
I love Indian food and grew up eating it and know what it should taste like. The chef who is also the owner is rude and could definitely listen to customer feedback. We were also charged for a plate that we didn’t eat because it was not up to par, however according to the chef we still had to pay it because «he made it». In my opinion customer feedback is not appreciated.

Extremely long wait to get food. I waited for an hour before i had food on my table.
Saw many guests leaving the place after waiting for eternity.
Food was average, don’t go if you are hungry.
Recommended if you have couple of hours to waste.

Wonderful experience. Awesome food. I am from California and I have not found such good restaurant there.
We ordered samosa for starters and it was awesome. Never had such samosas in U.S.
Paneer tikka masala, veg briyani, channa masala was spicy and made it my day. All tiredness gone with wonderful dinner.
I will recommend friends to have food here once you come to Grand Canyon.

I saw that reviews older than 6 months were pretty bad, but newer ones were very positive. I had a coupon so I took a gamble. I’m so glad I did! This is my new default Indian restaurant.
Parking: the fact that they have any at all is unusual for downtown flagstaff. It made it really convenient for me.
Food: I was starting to drool a little while waiting because the food smells in the air were so intoxicating. My favorite food I tried tonight was the naan. It’s great to see good attention to even the simplest parts of a meal. I always thought of naan as a vehicle, but this naan was different. l would eat it with sauce or even plain. This naan is less like stretchy american pizza dough and more like flakey lavash. Perfect. I had a yellow Dal which was very pretty and delicious.
Service: swift, friendly, and not nosy. Exactly how I expect it.
Only thing I didn’t like was my rice. It had too much mint for my taste. But as I understand, the dish I ordered is supposed to have quite a bit. I think it was Biryani. So if you don’t like mint, pick something else!
I’ll be coming back for sure.

Really quite good.
Considering we were starving and it was Valentine’s Day and there wasn’t visible parking closer to the main drags/​our original choice, I can’t claim this was our intention but it was very welcome after driving back from the Canyon.
Service was lovely — We never had want for water, food was prompt, people were friendly, they gave us a rose from the décor. The menu has all the staples you might desire, and we were happy with our entrees. The pappadam were yummy, too, but some of that is the need to slake your hunger when you sit and oh! there’s crackers and chutney.
It was nice to ask for spicy and actually get spicy. Our server indicated we could dial the heat on a 1 – 10 scale, and I worry that if I don’t say, «11,» then I won’t get truly spicy. I asked for a 9 and there was some tongue and lips tingle to my chana masala. Nice.
