India Palace

Came here after 6 years and while the service and ambiance is still great, I felt the food taste was not as authentic as it was 6 years ago. Please note that I am referring to Authentic Indian Spicy food, its still pretty good for Americanize Indian. Do try.!

This place is not too far from the Las Vegas Strip. If you are craving homemade Indian food, then this is your go-to place. They also have a buffet with lots of veg and non-veg choices. I come here every time I'm in Vegas.

The food was good, service is also good. This restaurant has been here for over two decades, they have a free parking and they are nearby the sphere.

Food was good. Everything seemed fresh and flavorful. Wasn’t super busy when we went and the service was meh - did the bare minimum.

Food quality was good however service at this place was horrible. Waiters Veena was very rude, she refused the food item we selected citing a big group is coming. Missed one vegetarian Dish from our order. She argued about this initially and then put the order in again. Another server realized and brought the fresh bread and accommodated us. I would not recommend this place.

Absolutely love Indian food and after moving here almost 2 years ago we are still looking for a great spot but so far this has to be close. We ordered butter chicken, lamb curry, naan and samosas. The flavors are great but small portions for slightly pricey entrees. The ordering process is a bit difficult at times because of the language barrier, interior needs some work. Very dated and a bunch of office stuff everywhere. Probably would eat in. Be prepared to spend at least $90-$100 to feed a family of 3.

Great food, as always! It's been 20 years since it's our #1 choice for Indian restaurant in Las Vegas. Recently renovated, beautiful ambiance.

So wonderful! This restaurant has a beautiful interior and the waitstaff are wonderful and welcoming! The food is very traditional and new dishes have been introduced tome. The flavor and quality of what they offer is top notch! I am very fond of the lunch buffet that runs 7 days a week! Thank you India Palace for an always noteworthy experience!

Hidden gem. I feel like I am in India .. very reasonable prices and respectful friendly service

Hidden amidst liquor stores and laundromats just a few blocks from the Sphere India Palace has been serving Sin City for nearly 30 years, owners Surjit Heera and Devinder Singh choosing to focus more on Food and service than atmosphere inside a space that is larger than it appears. A cornerstone of the local Indian community, busses frequently making stops with a throng of guests, it is from a list of North Indian plates that guests are invited to choose from Appetizers, Entrees and Stews both Vegetarian and Omnivore. Fronted by friendly staff, fare prices despite good Ingredients a key to India Palace's success, classics come in the form of Paneer Cheese cooked in Onions and Peppers plus golden-fried Samosas stuffed by Peas and Potatoes. Opting for Mango Lassi, though a bar including Indian Beer is available, housemade Chutney accompanies complimentary Papadum ready to prepare the palate for Lamb or Chicken from the Tandoor or Amritsari Fish crisp beneath Chickpea Flour. Attuned to the classics, Butter Chicken here indistinguishable from others in town, those seeking something with more spice should consider either Chicken Vindaloo or Aloo Gobi balancing Turmeric and Cumin with Curry. Not forgetting cooked Spinach and Cheese, a counterpoint to creamy Rogan Josh and bone-in Karahi Goat, Naan comes soft and fluffy in various forms amenable to soaking up the Sauce from all of the above plus Shrimp Korma. Currently only offering a Buffet for special occasions, and "sold out" of Dosa, Dessert runs a traditional gamut of Kheer or Gulab Jamun, though the standouts are fragrant Gajar Halwa and Ras Malai featuring thick Cream perfumed by Cardamom.

Tried a quick lunch of chickpeas and bread that goes with it i.e bhatura. They were not serving bhaturas but rice, however they made a special order on my request. Food was full of flavor and had a homely touch to it. Overall great great and excellent service

My husband and I went to India Palace while we were on vacation. We got there closer to the time that they reopen for dinner so it wasn't crowded, however they didn't have the option for a few menu items (thali's, dosa, etc) due to a larger catering order. We weren't overly hungry, so we decided to share one dish, the chicken korma, and get a couple of naan (one regular, one bullet). My husband ordered a chai but we were brought two, I mentioned I hadn't ordered it, and our server said that it would be taken care of. Our meal came out piping hot, the curry itself was super flavorful. I enjoyed it. The naan was average, my husband said he liked the chilis as it added spice since I prefer and order curries with lower levels of spice. The curry came with rice so it was a good amount of food for us. If you're hungry though, I'd say one entree per person would probably be the right amount. When it was time to pay the bill, a different server came by and charged us for all items (including the extra chai). So that was a little disappointing having to pay for something I didn't order. Service was a bit on the slower side. Overall, 3.5 stars. I wouldn't say no to coming back here but given there are several other Indian restaurants in the area, I may try those before returning.

Veena is great and the food delish.. The garlic Nan is wonderful The sag paneer great

I was in town for business and wanted Indian food. Service was horrible, staff was short and very dismissive. The restaurant had four tables seated in total. The server brought me water, and walked away. After watching attend to every other table for 25 minutes I decided to walkout. Ambiance, tired and needs an upgrade. Needless i nor none of business will ever set foot in that place again. I wasted time and gas in the Vegas just trying to get some food.

Food taste was good however service was horrible. Waiters Veenu was rude, she refused the food item we selected citing a big group is coming. She also did not put the correct order and forgot vegetarian Dish. She argued about this initially and then put the order in. Another server realized and brought the fresh bread and accommodated us. I would not recommend this place.

Firstly, this food was exceptional. Across the spectrum of their menu, the flavor profile was excellent. I had the Curry Lamb with Garlic Naan and my wife had Shrimp Marsala, with a bit of their Mango Chutney, Absolutely everything about our visit was excellent, including the service. Vena was our server and was holding it down, mostly on her own and still gave impeccably good service throughout the meal. She was so nice and made us feel like we would be welcome in her own home. I just can't say enough about her. Whoever decided to hire her as part of the team,,,, well done. She is a great representation for your restaurant,

I'm not feeling well, so I'm going local. Getting to the Strip in an Uber/Lyft rude is an easy $80+ both ways. Besides, I have a $25 off coupon (with a minimum order of $75). This is North Indian cuisine (and some South mixed in). Let's see how it goes! A little about them: "In an overwhelmingly large pool of food options for both tourists and locals in Las Vegas, India Palace is a standout. Surjit Heera & Devinder Singh brought new life to Las Vegas when they opened the doors of India Palace in Las Vegas over 25 years ago. The restaurant has been open under the same ownership since and has become a staple in the community, known primarily for its deliciously authentic North Indian curries. Today with the grand re-opening of the newely remodeled restaurant, Las Vegas residents and tourists alike again have the opportunity to experience an amazing culinary journey within a entirely new atmosphere. India Palace presents authentic Indian cuisine in a contemporary environment that has generated a loyal following, including many Indian nationals and ex-patriots who like both North and South Indian specialties." The music is very authentic! They have a full bar here. Here's the test. I'll take an " Old Fashioned. Let's see what comes out. The old fashioned is a cocktail made by muddling sugar with bitters and water, adding whiskey (typically rye or bourbon), and garnishing with an orange slice or zest and a cocktail cherry. It is traditionally served with ice in an old fashioned glass (also known as a rocks glass). I'm impressed! It is served with a high quality, round ice cube with two amarena cherry garnishes. It is quite strong. I'm not sure if they used any simple syrup or a muddled sugar cube. The bitters is also MIA. I taste only liquor, but hey, who am I to complain? They used Maker's Mark. No wonder it's so good! 90 proof! For my first appetizer, I'm trying the "Chaat Papdi" which is boiled garbanzo beans mixed with fruit and chutneys, topped with crisp dal waders and puffed rice. It is garnished with yogurt and fresh cilantro. The immediately brought out the mint and tamarind sauce. This dish is big and meant for two. The wafers are very crunchy. This has kick too. The sauces are used with the appetizer. I love the it! For my soup, I'm having their mulligatawny soup. Mulligatawny is a soup which originated from South Indian cuisine. The name originates from the Tamil words miḷagu ( 'black pepper'), and taṇṇi (, 'water'); literally, "pepper-water". It is related to the dish rasam. Main ingredients commonly include chicken, mutton, and lentils. According to the Oxford Companion to Food, the simplest version of the soup included chicken or mutton, fried onion, and spices. More complex versions may call for "a score of ingredients". Versions originating in southern India commonly called for lentils. It is hot and very yummy! I think it's a little lighter then the South Indian version. Cute bowl. I taste an unusual ingredient at the bottom. I have no idea what it is. They also use tandoori chicken in it! For my salad , I'm having the "Onion and Chili" salad . This is new to me. It's red onions and green chili pepper with a brown spice of some sort. Those peppers are hot so I only had a few slices. There is also a slice of lemon to sprinkle too. I'm also trying a side of "mixed pickles." I believe those are vinegarized mango . I used to hate this. I no longer do. It is salty so beware. For many, this is an acquired taste! I have acquired it. It's official. I have clearly baffled the server. She was talking to two other employees and looking my way. I'm not sure you. I think she is baffled that I order one item at a time. For my next drink, I'm having the "Taj Mahal." I just saw the bartender shake that mixing cup for a LONG TIME! I heard it was made of run, pineapple juice and grenadine. It's not strong, (like zero alcohol), but otherwise tastes good ! The long shake or just too little alcohol (or both or none at all) could explain the taste. For my entree, I'm having the "Andhra Chicken Curry" which is actually a South Indian style chicken curry with a chef special Andhra Masala sauce. This is a very complicated sauce to make! Yikes! This is real good ! It's hot, spicy and delicious! Low cholesterol too. For dessert , I'm having the "Gajjar Halwa" which are shredded carrots cooked over hours with ghee and a blend of nuts . The dish of real warm. Wow ! Is this good !!! Ghee is a type of clarified (butter from which all milk solids have been removed. The result is a clear, yellow butter that can be heated to higher temperatures before burning) butter, originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is commonly used for cooking, as a traditional medicine, and for religious rituals. What a great meal!

This restaurant was recommended by my husband's client as the best Indian food in the city. He's Indian so we took his recommendation seriously and it didn't disappoint. They have an extensive menu, probably more extensive than two of my old haunts, Bombay House in Utah and Lovash in Philly. The flavors of the vegetable korma and curried chickpeas were perfect. Best korma I've had hands down. The area of town is a little sketchy and the facility is a bit run down but it appeared clean. I gave 4 stars because the ambience was a little awkward for an anniversary dinner and our spice levels were served in reverse. But, Veena was an attentive server and very pleasant. We will return. It was definitely worth the drive, especially that rice pudding! The wine prices were great too. I would recommended not to skip the naan or paratha.

This is about 15 minutes walking distance from sphere and about 30 minutes walking from the rest of the strip. Food here is pricey with each entrée at least 15 to 20% above everywhere else - closer to $20. Has a good enough selection of vegetarian and non- vegetarian with a decent portion size and reasonable service. Though it was disappointing that they did not have any tea or coffee though they were selling it at six dollar listed price which is twice, anywhere else at 7 PM in the evening. Apart from that, food did not disappoint and ambience was also upscale with a full bar and a television running sports.

Review location update! Love this restaurant! The food was delicious and definitely authentic. The atmosphere was very calm, but I have a feeling it make get busier earlier in a day because they serve buffet style as well, we went late. The staff is very honest and truthful when reviewing their own menu, they helped me make a selection that fit my taste. The portion sizes are perfect. Not too much not too little. The only thing, honestly speaking, it is in a bit of a sketchy neighborhood. As a matter of fact, we were worried after our Uber driver told us not to leave the restaurant and wonder about in the evenings after our meal lol. sidenote he was 100% correct, we stepped out and didn't even go too far before we were approached by a gentleman coming across the street to meet us. Even after we said we didn't want to talk to him. We decided to hang back in the restaurant and wait for our Uber to return and take us to the hotel. Just have to advise anyone. But again the food was great and they have so many veg options! Thanks guys keep up the good work.

Came for a late Saturday lunch and there was certainly a good crowd. The ambiance is cozy. The food is delicious spicy in the truest meaning of the term where you can taste the spice curry, paprika, cumin, garlic etc. the servers do ask for heat preference and we opted for spicy which was still enjoyable even for my 12 year old. The prices are fairly priced if shared. We ordered two entrees, an appetizer, and two orders of naan which was approximately $80. Please note that parking is limited and this is not located in the best part of town but the food makes it worth the trip.

Came for Sunday lunch .... It was half occupied. We came in and we were checked by server to seat and then we ordered food . We took butter chicken , vegetable biryani , kadhi panner , dal makhani . Food was great but service was little slow. Server did suggested to order everything at once but we wanted more roti and for that we waited like 10 mins. Ambiance is decent and it looks it's a old restaurant with lot of awards . Reducing 1 star as I had asked to provide me hot water and she said no which surprised me as customer service hot water was just a small ask :(

India Palace is hands down our favorite spot for Indian cuisine in Las Vegas! The garlic naan is unparalleled--soft, flavorful, and simply the best we've had in town. The vegetable samosas are perfectly crisp without being greasy, and each bite is delicious. Their tikka masala is a must-try, full of rich and authentic flavor. Our only complaint is that it's not closer to where we live, or we'd be dining here much more often!

Food is consistently of high quality and freshness. When I'm in Vegas, I always go here for Indian food. If the owner wants to keep their restaurant busy all day, they must offer a buffet lunch. Vienna, the server, is outstanding and offers top-notch support.

I had the lamb vindaloo and it was really good in comparison so many others I've had. The service was great. Portions and naan bread were generous. Would be back again! Thank you:)

Very tasty authentic Indian fare. The tikka paneer is especially tangy, with a tomato-y freshness that was very appealing. Server Antonio was just lovely. Prices were very reasonable.

This restaurant was my go-to restaurant whenever I am in the mood for authentic Indian Food Now, no more, few months ago, went to restaurant pick up takeout order. Waiter demands 18% tip when I paid. I paid since I do not want to cause any disrespect. Waiter did not provide any service since it is take out orders. WELL I FOUND NEW INDIAN RESTAURANT. BYE BYE INDIAN PLACE

The area outside looks pretty sketchy but decided to go in anyway because I really wanted Indian food and I was really trusting my fellow helpers with their raving reviews. I'm so glad I ate here! Started with gobi manchurian- super tangy, salty and spicy- just how I like. Would've preferred slightly less sauce so I could experience more crunch but it was still delicious. Next up was chicken tikka masala which was on point! Smaller portion size but still enough to share & dip your naan or dosa in, and also super flavorful. The shrimp biryani had plenty of shrimp and was cooked just right! There was a huge party that came in after our party of 3 that were getting served quickly and I was starting to feel slightly annoyed but the staff were very nice and courteous so I decided not to make a stink about it. The food was worth the wait and I left happy so all good.

So crap ,came at 7:30 and food started to come at around 9 and one of 4 waiters probably was mad, Indian street food quality is better than this like legit rice tasted probably equivalent if sewer water was solidified ,literally hair in my naan, manager literally said it happens and walked away,sore throat after so goofy ah very sped never come here

We were requested by vendors to have dinner here, it seems so many people that attended the convention came here for dinner. The place was so packed, sit where you find a seat. I had to find a chair to pull up where we had a booth. I dont want to say they were understaffed, I believe they had no idea there was a convention in town and that many people would show up. Staff was very nice and did everything in their power to offer the best possible service. We got a few apps, I only tried the chili chicken which wasnt anything special for me. The goat curry from the main course was very good, the gravy was key to this dish. If you are looking for indian food near the strip, this may be your best bet. Also they had 4.5 liter liquor bottles, never seen anything like it before.

Such a shame, I do not recommend. The Tandoori chicken was super dry, the outside was almost like rubber. The chicken tikka masala was weird, they couldn't be bothered to make fresh chicken so instead they threw in some old chicken from a skewer. And the rice which I think is the best part, was missing. So I had to make my own when I got home. That's just odd to me.

I was with a party of 4, we ordered garlic naan, andhra chicken curry, paneer tikka masala, and veg biryani. All of which was very very tasty and authentic. The service was good as well our waiter was very friendly and accommodated us really really well. Definitely recommend this place!!

So good. Anything on the menu! I'm working my way through it! I haven't been in the restaurant I usually have it delivered to eat at home. I do enjoy all the different dishes. Cannot Go wrong with garlic naan and mango lassi. Try it. It's good!

This is authentic and spicy in a good way. Going for the real thing! Come check it out

The food was great, huge portions and just what I was looking for. The different Naan offerings were delicious and made for great leftover the next day. Great value and the curry chicken was fantastic!

Excellent quality food. With excellent service. The choice of Indian food was outstanding. I'd go here again!

We had great experience with the testy food & excellent service. Ambiance was OK, it can really helps more with some improvement & cleaniness.

Definitely one of the best Indian Restaurants in Las Vegas: the food is fantastic and the atmosphere and service is great! Our server brought our food within a timely manner and asked us if we wanted a refill often for our drinks. Definitely planning on coming back within the next month or so.

Dude, yes! I knew we hit the holy grail when I noticed the fellow patrons, and it did not disappoint! We will be back!!! Food and service were both pure bliss!!! Parking is limited in front and it's next to a sketch motel. Just a heads up.

We came in yesterday for an early dinner around 4pm and were sat at the booth by this older waitress. She had a smug look on her face and never once smiled, my thoughts were she had dry humor... but she was RUDE! I was so excited to have some REAL spicy Indian food, I told her several times how I loved spicy food and that's why we came to India Palace vs the other mildly spicy buffet style Indian restaurants. We ordered garlic naan (1 order was pretty small and burned to a crisp... but it was tasty), lamb biriani rice (we asked for no extra spice since the kids would try it... the waitress said it was a bit spicy and we were fine with that... and it was delicious... it came with raita too), tandoori chicken (it came out sizzling hot, a bit dry and needed more salt... but it was good)... and then I said I wanted VERY spicy chicken tikka masala... the waitress said 1-5 and we said 4... it came out less spicy than the biriani rice! I waved the waitress down to let her know it wasn't spicy at all, in fact it was less spicy than the biriani rice... Instead of apologizing for her mistake she went on to tell me that there were two levels of spice... basically "white-people" spice levels and "Indian-people" spice levels... she should have said 1-10... she was very demeaning in the way she blamed me for her own mistake... and then what really ticked me off was that she said she was going to add green chili to it herself instead of having the cooks re-make the dish... what kind of service is that? I told her I didn't want it, and to take it off the bill... she took the curry and came back and said I needed to take it, and I said "No, I do not want it...take it off the bill"... she kept shoving it in my face till I was furious and said we'll just get to go boxes and we will take the bill. I will NEVER come back here again because of that waitress... the food was good but she just left such a bad experience for me... I would rather drive a bit further and go to Taj Palace in Henderson... at least the service and the food there are great!

Been to Vegas plenty. But never had Indian cuisine here. And I have to say, this food never fails. This location I've never visited. My sister and I ate her. First of all, for the money we paid, we got well more than enough. I absolutely recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala, the Samosas, and the shrimp biryani is to die for. I mean even the basmati rice, needed no butter, salt or pepper. I can just drool thinking about how much we enjoyed our meal. Oh and you cannot forget your Garlic Naan. Yummy!!! We ate the left overs for brunch today. If you are a spice and flavor person, (like us) you absolutely do not want to pass this place up! Love you guys. It was so worth every perfectly flavored morsel. We definitely will be back

Super delicious flavors, fresh tasting, and great service from Veena and our other server. If you love Indian food I highly recommend!

This place is a bit of a hidden gem in Paradise off The Strip in Las Vegas. The neighborhood is a bit strange, it has quite a bit of very good restaurants but the neighborhood is kind of a mixed bag of safe and not safe. I live in this neighborhood and noticed this Indian restaurant. I went there and the food there is very, very good. But I guess this restaurant is probably mostly frequented by Indians as the People working there seemed kinda perplexed as why a Nordic looking person like me was there, not in a bad way at all, but more like I was in an remote small town in India and it was the first time they had seen someone looking different from themselves. It was a strange feeling and I felt like an outsider in a foreign land, rather than in my own neighborhood. In spite of all that, I have to give this restaurant 5 stars because the food is very authentic and excellent. It is exactly like being a visiting foreigner eating from a kitchen in someone's home in a remote village in India.

This place is a staple whenever I am in town. I've always ordered to-go orders but their butter chicken and chicken tikka masala are all great!

Our first time trying Indian food and I'm so glad this place was recommended to me. We had the lamb tikimasala with garlic naan and I was very pleased. The chef did amazing & the service was outstanding.

Just like the US has regional cuisines- from Cajun cooking in New Orleans to Clam Shacks in New England, the giant nation of India has many different regional delights. The huge and eclectic menu at India Palace gives the diner lots of options, though it's hard to determine if there is any sort of specialty here. It seems mostly like solid - if somewhat generic - Indian cooking. Personally, I'd be happy with fewer options and a more regionally specific approach. That being said, the place is clean, comfortable, and friendly. There always seem a number of folks from India eating here - which is undoubtedly a good sign. It's one of the better choices for Indian food in this part of town.

During our visit to Las Vegas, we ate lunch at India Palace. We were assigned a waiter that was outright rude and condescending. Veena, who is also a waiter there noticed the situation and came over did a super job helping calm the situation that occurred. Veena intervened and apologized on behalf of the waiter and took over our table's responsibility. She was very responsive, courteous, attentive and diffused the situation enough to where we enjoyed our lunch! The food was good and the environment is very nice. Tables are spread apart and comfortable. Overall we appreciate the effort Veena put in to where we can give a 4 star review to this place, & will be back as long as the place has employees as good as Veena. If it was not for her, we would never go back and this review would be a lot worse.

Great taste and service ! Did not expect this to be located in a Tier 2 locality but anyhow ! Once in there the guy serving us was giving us clear tips on how much to order and what to and how to save money and its typical of Indians to do that in India ! So to see that here was very welcome and something Indians love ! Small place but yummy food and lovely people !

India Palace is by far and away my favorite Indian restaurant in Las Vegas. I live on the East Side and it is my go-to whenever the mood for curry strikes us. Whenever someone comes in from out of town and wants to venture off the strip for more "local" dining, I always recommend India Palace. We used to always dine-in, but lately we've done takeout or delivery. Honestly, I miss going there in person because the staff was always so kind and friendly. I look forward to visiting again some day soon. I cannot remember ever having a negative experience or less than excellent dish. I've dined in and done takeout/delivery/3rd party delivery. It's always so good. The portions are generous, everything is very well seasoned, and the ingredients are fresh. We particularly like the Chicken Tikka Masala, the Paneer (any variety), the samosas... well.. pretty much anything. There are phenomenal vegan and vegetarian options, spicy, not spicy, it's all there. We love the ability to order something for everyone. Everything is served family style, so we always order too much with the naan sampler so we have leftovers of everything.

Visiting Las Vegas for few days. Visited this joint for lunch I have never eaten so much food at one time for awhile . The food quality , the ambience , the service was phenomenal. It's been a while since I encountered an Indian food with no complain in any department Keep it up!!!!!

Veena was awesome. Great service and good food. I recommend it to everyone. If you are in Vegas and looking for Indian food, this is the place to go!

Great food and a bar with a really nice selection of Indian whiskey. Northern Indian cuisine, but they absolutely killed it with the lamb vindaloo. Garlic naan was perfect with the right amount of ghee. Takes credit cards and I highly recommend.

Good North Indian food. My wife liked the veggie options. Nice ambiance. Good service. I would go again.

we eat here so often , the food is goooodddd omg !! vena is the best waitress ever , always attentive , kind , understanding and tender ! 10/10

My wife and I love Indian food, so when we got a recommendation to try India Palace, we tried it out. We went there early on Sunday, around 3 p.m., for an early dinner, and Veena was our server. The service she provided was excellent. For the appetizer, we had delicious vegetable samosas. You get plenty of chutney with your meal; I love the tamarind. My wife had the chicken tikka masala, which she requested not to be spicy, a side of plain rice, and garlic naan. I had the tandoori grill and Aloo Gobi, which I requested very spicy. The restaurant is clean, with many booths and tables and even a small bar area. When we try a new place, we always ask ourselves if we would eat here again. It's our test for how good we think a restaurant is. We will be returning regularly.

Forget about the location, forget about the people walking around outside of the restaurant, India Palace is the real deal for excellent Indian cuisine! The restaurant is nice inside, very well decorated, and the staff is very pleasant and appreciative of your visit! The location is not the best part of town just a few blocks from the Strip, but I'm convinced that your best restaurants for different ethnic foods is usually located in less than desirable locations. India Palace does an excellent Saag Paneer! The flavors of the spinach and cheese is outstanding! The Tiki Masala, Tandoori Chicken, Naan, Rice, and everything else we tried were all a burst of exotic flavors in your mouth! There is perhaps no other type of food in my opinion that has the multitude of flavors that Indian dishes provide! India Palace does it as well as anybody else!!

We came in yesterday for an early dinner around 4pm and were sat at the booth by this older waitress.
