India Palace Restaurant (TANDOOR)

They are not consistent with the taste of their food. We ordered Fish Biriyani with spicy level. They delivered fish curry and rice mixed together and was sweeter in taste. It was good as a fish curry rice, but no where near biriyani. In chicken biriyani, they put bell peppers, only Tandoor does this. Sometimes, the samosa is too good, sometime it tastes stale. The aloo paratha tastes good, but had the same taste as the samosa aloo fillings. The fish pakora has tilapia fish, never expected this as it is around 12 bucks and had only two tilapia fillets. We expected better fish. When you order, you never know what will be taste of the food. Their rice had mixture of different quality rice like mixture of basmati and the cheaper long grain.

Ordered takeout, food was excellent! I ordered the cucumber tomato salad, vegetable samosas, lamb samosas, raita, kheer and a tikka masala lunch special. It came with the array of onion chutney, green chutney and tamarind sauces. I think my favorite was the vegetable samosa (like a chickpea/potato fried pocket (size of an orange and some)) and the kheer was very very good. Tikka masala lunch special had no spice (so I slapped on some of my own) and while I'd prefer a higher spice level and requested medium hot, the tikka masala sauce in and of itself was delicious making up for it, very creamy. All in all, I had an excellent lunch with left overs for tomorrow! Delivery was very prompt, around 25min.

We travelled from Hartford to eat at this place for friday dinner. But our visit to this restaurant was a nightmare. The owner is really very rude and the customer service is horrible. We tried Gobi Manchurian and asked the spicy level to be Hot. To our utter surprise the manchurian was so hot that it burned our mouth. The owner should have explained the spice level before taking orders. Some of my friends ordered biryani but to their surprise it turned out to be a pulav. I won’t recommend visiting this restaurant to anyone.
