When your non-Indian friend brings you to an Indian restaurant, when you're the Indian, you raise an eyebrow. However! Solid choice friend. This is one of the better Indian restaurants I have been to. Immediately slapped with vibrant aroma that Indian food possesses. The service here was amazing. Very attentive, especially to your beer when you need a refill. There were two beers from India, a light one, and one with a higher percentage that tastes light. It's delicious! The food was authentic, delicious, and I highly recommend! We had the malai kofta, shahi paneer, vegetable pakoras, garlic naan, aloo gobi, and my friend got a lamb dish. Everything was very tasty! We definitely over ordered for two people but hey, leftover Indian food is always bomb. Typically when you get a higher spice level, it just tastes like they put more Kashmiri mirch (chili powder) in it. However, with a higher spice here, other flavors were still able to come through. They do have extra chilies and onions they can bring you on the side as well. Overall, great experience, great food, great service!

First time at an Indian buffet!This might be my second time in my life to go to an Indian restaurant in general. Kamal Palace is hidden below ground and around a corner. My coworkers said that this place remodeled and looks better. Came here for lunch on a weekday. Price is $17.95 which is super cheap considering it's all you can eat. That said, the variety of food is very little. Regardless the food tastes really good. I didn't know any of the dishes name lol. The fresh nan bread was my favorite. The server dropped baskets at each table.Highly recommend trying this place out!

It's been a while since we visited Kamal Palace for its weekend lunch buffet, and we're pleasantly surprised that the interior has been remodeled. The buffet counter is much wider, and it allows the staff to replenish the items much more efficiently. Presentation of the entrees is more aesthetically pleasing too.Best of all, the price has not increased much, despite the rate of inflation that has affected restaurants throughout the nation. For less than $20, you leave satisfied and happy. The garlic naan that came free with the buffet was toasty and crispy.Be careful when you try the lamb curry, which has small shards of bone hidden in the broth.

One of the best Indian restaurants in the area. The restaurant was recently remodeled and appears much brighter. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent- a blend of Indian and Nepali food. They also have a decent wine and beer selection. The best part is that they are right on the water with great views. I would recommend sitting in the outdoor patio in summer.

Nice Saturday lunch buffet. The place is difficult to find but worth the search. It is on the water side of the marina not visible from the front. Downstairs. They have s variety of Indian dishes. Butter chicken tandoori chicken, saag, samosas, Naan. Lamb, rice. Also small salad and dessert There is an outdoor patio with a nice view. Directly next door to Jade Restaurant. Highly recommend for an affordable lunch buffet ($18).

Service is spectacular here, walked in 36 minutes before closing and treated like a king. I had tried a restaurant that shall go unnamed that closed in an hour and half and stood around at the hostess area for 10 minutes waiting for someone to show up to seat me. Even made eye contact with the bartender who didn't seem to care I was standing there waiting. Anyway enough about the bad guys. Kamala Palace is one of the good guys! Immediately addressed me on entering and sat me in one of the nicest booths despite being near closing time. Asked for a beer recommendation and he asked my preferences and then recommended the Old Monk as an Indian beer to try. It is a great beer drinks like a light IPA almost, no pine to it. The booths are nice, table cloth dining without the pretense or the prices. Hand sanitizer at every table saves you a trip to the bathroom after viewing the menu if you're the OCD hand washing type. I went for the Exotic Curry Special the under the Chefs Specials on the very back page of the menu. And of course some Garlic Naan because when in Kamal Palace... This is my second visit and first review here and both times the service stood out to me as well as the food. Really is going to be my go to for Indian!

Kamal Palace is located in the LB Marina area and just re-opened after a lengthy renovation. Long Beach has some great Indian options, but most of them are takeout spots. Kamal Palace certainly stands out as a dine-in option with a massive menu. Nevertheless, I ordered my food a la carte, to go. I was a little disappointed as my garlic naan was not included in my order and I really was looking forward to the chewy, garlicky, hot flatbread with my curry. It wasn't meant to be at this time.A lot of people like chicken tikka masala (which happens to be the national dish of the UK), but I'd recommend for you to go for the murgh makhni: it's similar, but has butter, more spice, and more flavor. I get it spicy, so it punches me in the lips and tongue with heat, creaminess, and spice, but it also has the delicious tandoori chicken mixed in. What's not to like about this curry made with abundant spices, butter, yogurt, tomato, and grilled chicken?I also ordered their "mixed appetizer" dish, which was filled with a delightful mix of fried apps including veggie samosa, chicken/veggie pakora, and seekh kabab. It tastes great with their sour/tangy tamarind chutney and their sweet mint chutneys. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and I'd recommend it.

Already loved this place before the renovation but now they have a beautiful indoor and outdoor seating area by the water. Our server was so lovely and attentive and really made the experience so enjoyable. Best Indian food in town and the buffet selection is sooooo good!

I think Kamal Palace is more known for their lunch buffet and being one of few Indian buffet options in Long Beach. Sure, Artesia isn't that much further from here so you could just hop there and go find multiple options, but sometimes I don't want to deal with figuring out where to go there and parking. Kamal Palace is easy to get to and easy to park.So we decided to actually eat ala carte because the SO and I were just craving Indian. We started with their Tofu Pakora, which was absolutely fantastic due to them using chickpea flour to fry it in, vs regular flour. This was a very smart idea and the whole thing was just a delight.We then ordered 3 entrees: Bhindi Masala, Garlic Sizzler Manchurian Veg, and Tofu Masala.The sizzler dish, to me, seemed like veggie pakora in a sauce. It was good, don't get me wrong, but it didn't quite hit like I thought it would.The tofu matar was solid and these guys really know how to cook tofu well. Most places that do tofu well understand that tofu needs to be able to absorb the flavors it's mixed with to really stand out. For me, the bhindi masala was amazing. At a different Indian spot in Torrance (I think it's Bombay Tandoori in Torrance off PCH, in a Best Western hotel I think), that was the first time I've had okra indian-style (there it was bhindi bharata) and I've been hooked. I think okra is a highly underrated vegetable and Kamal Palace did a fantastic job with it.I really want to say, just go here for the ala carte. It's quality is better than the buffet. It may not be as good of a "value" but the quality of their ala carte is solid.
