India Palace

We don't have so many Indian options in El Paso and India Palace is a solid one! In an intimate warm decor with smoothing music you are reminded that India offers a welcoming culture with rich spiritual dimensions. The Cuisine of India is full of spices, rich, creamy and complex. Service is slow, as there is only one waiter. So patience is King at India Palace! Try the vegetable samosas, their Mulgatwani soup. The Karachichicken tikka Buhna the favorite of our host (Amros). The wait is justified as everything is freshly prepared and delicious. Unfortunately after Covid they stopped their Indian Buffet which was always a great option. Portions are copious so you definitely share dishes with several guests. But patience will make grateful for experiencing the delights of India. Jai Hind or "Long live India!"

I was craving good food and so took a drive to come out here. We made reservations because we had a large group. I asked for chicken Tikka masala, which comes with rice. The spice level was medium, and it was super light but still delicious. I ordered samosas, however, I am ashamed to say I ate them without taking a picture. To drink I got the Indian tea (chai) and I shared a mango lassi with my wife.The service was very friendly. They did take a little while to bring out the food, but we did order A LOT. So I can't blame them on that. Will continue to come here.

This is my favorite place to eat Indian food in El Paso. Whenever I'm passing through town, I'll stop & get take out to bring home.They have an extensive northern Indian menu & everything is so good!

After the business sold, I expected some rough patches. As a fan of this restaurant for the last 15 years or so, I vowed to continue my support of the new owners through the transition. Though the early months were a bit shaky, the food quality remained high and at least some of the staff were friendly and competent.My work schedule shifted around a bit, so I started ordering take out to continue my support even though it had become difficult to dine in. Sure, the take out portions and wait times were super inconsistent, but I chalked it up to the ownership change and continued trying to be supportive.My schedule shifted again and I was able to meet up with a friend and eat in at least once a week, but the service had gone down. The main floor server was now outright hostile to customers (take-out customers too for that matter...) after 3 unpleasant weeks in a row, my friend and I decided we were done. We've spent 2 months going elsewhere and being reminded that good service is makes everything better.Tonight, after 2 months away, we decided to give it another chance. The menu has been updated, there were new employees working and we had high hopes that things might have turned around. Long story short, my dine in food was good. My chai was adequate (though not particularly good) and the service was a bit better. I ordered an entrée to go for lunch tomorrow and had a (rather delayed) refill of my Chai. Service wasn't as awkward or hostile as it had been, but it's still far from good. When the bill and to-go orders arrived, the total seemed a little high, but I didn't really think about it. When I picked up the to-go, it felt rather light. The inconsistent (small) portion sizes are back (here on a cheap to make vegetarian dish that I can prepare at home for around $3.00) and suddenly for the first time ever, I was charged for my chai refill (and yes, I did note the menu updates above, there is no mention about charges for refills now.) Frankly, the chai wasn't particularly good for the 1st fee, but the 2nd charge was adding insult to injury. We'll see if the taste of the to-go entrée is up to standard, but I think India Palace is back on the boycott list for me again. Don't get me wrong, the food is still good, but it's just no longer the same and doesn't seem like the new owners give a damn about improving.. . . .

Five Stars for taste and 2.5 for service. I have been here twice on different days and hours (I did not have their buffet), and both times I experienced slow service also did not have the most attentive servers, but India Palace's food is worth the wait. I highly enjoyed their assorted vegetable appetizer, specifically their deep-fried onions. I enjoyed their chicken and lamb curry, especially when I asked for mild and hot, and both were just right. Yet, you may consider visiting if you are in a time crunch. India Palace has a calm ambiance. Currently, El Paso doesn't have many places for Indian Food, and India Palace is 1 of 2; their parking may be tight because they are located at a mini-mall. They accept apple pay.

I ordered Uber eats...butter chicken and garlic naan decent price. Food was amazing!! It was perfect amount and arrived hot even with me working for 10 more minutes before eating it was still perfect temp. The flavor was great not spicy and the rice was cooked perfect. Both came separate which was nice too totally recommend this place! I'm going to have to try in person next time.Nicely packaged...only downside was no utensils even though I requested. It is not a terrible thing because I have extra at work but maybe something to keep in mind.

I can't give this place a high enough rating. First, the ambiance. It's very nice and classy, but still somewhere you can bring children. That's a big plus in my book. There were two other people at the restaurant while we sat and the manager had us sit right when we arrived.The menu has plenty of choices with detailed descriptions. I chose the chicken madras and the paneer Naan. My friend ordered the Tikka marsala and garlic Naan with an order of samosas. The samosas looked very good and tasted better. The food comes out after a bit and you can tell they make everything in house. It was so fresh and flavorful. The madras I ordered is in a coconut cream but you can't tell there's coconut in it. The Naan. I could eat that everyday. The cheese was gooey and so yummy.Everything was so delicious. The onllllly thing I would change is they only offer one refill with drinks and that threw me off, so I didn't get a drink other than water. They do offer a military discount which is awesome. When checking out, the gentleman told me they had just bought the place this week and welcomed us back anytime.Here's where their service gets even better. So my friend I was with asked me to carry her kiddo to the car. In doing so, completely left my phone on the table. I don't check my phone very often so four hours later my friend called the restaurant to ask if I had left it. The manager had waited around the restaurant to see if I would come back. He was able to meet up and make sure I received my phone. He was probably one of the nicest managers I had ever met.So thankful for his kindness and how excellent the food was!

I'm not really a fan of curry, but the dish I ordered was very tasty, generous portion. Staff was attentive.

Best Indian food in Town do not go anywhere else. Just run here if you want the authentic Indian food taste

Food was SO GOOD!!! I had the butter chicken and it hit the spot! My husband had the lamb komra and it was also so yummy! The ambience is nice and welcoming. The only reason I put 4 stars is because the service is a little slow and it took us a while to get our water cups filled. But we will definitely come back and enjoy more of their food!!!
