India Palace Restaurant

Good food!Here on business and found this place on yelp!Awesome and quick ! I don't come to Tulsa much, but will be back.

Buffet was meh. Service was great!The ambiance was neither here nor there. The kids enjoyed it.

Yesterday (9/29/24) i was craving india palace, i begged and begged my friend to please go with me. i promised it was so good, i've never had a bad meal at india palace. yesterday was the first time i dined in and unfortunately it will be my last. the service was quick, the waiters were nice, the ambience is very classy, the food was absolutely amazing. we paid our $50+ bill and left happy! it wasn't until my friend who i begged to go, (who ended up loving it so much he paid for it), reached out to tell me his card was left at the restaurant and someone used it at a QuikTrip. I just called them and asked for the manager, no one was available so i passed on that we will be getting the footage from the QT to see who stole his card. I was told that i'd get a call back in 30mins from a manager, that's not happened. extremely disappointing, hope it was worth it!

Unbelievable for the same thing that happened to me at Tandoori Guys just last Friday to happen at India Palace today. Somehow the stars must have aligned or this is a warning sign for me not to visit anymore Indian buffet, I truly have no clue. THEY CLEANED UP MY TABLE WHILE I WAS AT THE BUFFET GETTING MY SECOND PLATE. When I came back, I didn't have a table. They were able to give me back my table without a word of exchange. It was utter silence, no apology, nothing. It's a shame because I do like this place very much. It has delicious food and the chicken taste amazing, as good as Tandoori Guys. India Palace has chicken curry instead of chicken masala. If I remember correctly they used to have it on their buffet or maybe it's a rotational thing. They did not charge me for the Pepsi which was good. THEY SHOULD NOT because I literally took a few sips before they took it away, not even a quarter through. I really don't understand how this is possible in the first place, let alone how this happened back to back twice at two different India buffets on two consecutive weeks. I took two stars off for the mishap and no apology afterward. The two buffets are pretty good, but if I have to pick one then it would probably be Tandoori Guys. I prefer chicken masala over chicken curry.

My previous reviews still hold up. They have great vegan options and a vegan section on the menu. I've had all of them, several times, and they are always delicious. Everyone, from the owner to the busser are kind, polite, and attentive. Your drink will never get even halfway emptied before it is refilled. After coming here regularly for ~30 years, I've never had a bad experience. My vegetarian and omni friends also love this spot. I cannot recommend this joint highly enough.

After hearing so many great reviews and discovering that India Palace is the oldest Indian restaurant in Tulsa, I knew I had to give it a try--and it didn't disappoint! The dark, cozy atmosphere adds a unique charm, and the abundance of servers ensures you're well taken care of from the moment you walk in.We started with some seedy crackers and a variety of salsas, ranging from super sweet to very spicy, which was a fun and flavorful way to begin the meal. We ordered the chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, garlic naan, and puri (per our server's recommendation). Every dish was fantastic--the flavors were rich, and the portions were just right.The only downside to the experience was that different servers kept coming by to ask if we were done with our food, and they attempted to take our plates away multiple times while we were still eating. It was a bit disruptive, but overall, it didn't take away from the delicious meal (we're just slow eaters!). India Palace is definitely worth a visit, especially if you're a fan of authentic Indian cuisine.

Today I am sad. This restaurant has been one of our favorites for over 20 years. Now we will not go back. We went for lunch and were pushed toward the buffet. It was not good at all. The offering was slim and had none of the flavor of their previous food. We felt rushed to eat fast and get out. Pretty expensive for bad food. Really wish we had listened to other reviews and never returned. Now we will not.

India Palace, if you're going to call yourself an Indian restaurant, at least attempt to deliver something remotely close to the cuisine. What we experienced was a total disgrace to Indian food. Every single dish we tried--kebabs, beef biryani, pulao, and whatever else we braved--tasted like a chaotic blend of nothingness. Bland doesn't even begin to describe it.Spices? Non-existent. It's almost laughable, considering the whole world once fought wars over Indian spices, and yet here, there's not a single trace of them. The food is so far from authentic, it's like they threw random ingredients together, hoping to pass it off as Indian. Spoiler alert: it failed miserably.This was hands-down the worst Indian meal I've ever had, and trust me, I've had plenty. Whoever's in charge of the kitchen either needs a crash course in real Indian cooking or they need to rethink calling this place an Indian restaurant. Do yourself a favor--skip this place entirely.

The food, service, and ambiance compete for the stars here. The ambiance provides a quiet, low-lit dining room with unique paintings and art throughout. The service is attentive (my server, Eric, looked to see when I made eye contact tact and responded immediately). Everyone made eye contact co tact and a polite smile when they say assed by, refilling my water (remembering my request for "no ice"). And The FOOD! Oh wow; I ordered the Chicken Biryani and Parata, with Raita. It was very flavorful without being overly spiced. The portions are generous. The Raita had unique ingredients, which I couldn't identify, but which made it so flavorful on my Paratha & Biryani. The manager offered me a small sample of the Chicken Tikka Masala and it had a fresh tomato base with mild spices. I till return here when I'm in Tulsa again.

Food is absolute perfection!!! Service is great. Only negative is check your to go order before you leave. They got ours wrong twice before. Big order who wants to check it all. Or deal with fixing it. Literally can barely stand to wait the ride in the car before eating it. WeA Tulsa tradition and favorite! The BEST Indian food in the state!
