India Palace

India Palace in Hillcrest is an absolute gem for Indian cuisine lovers! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that set the perfect tone for an amazing dining experience.

The food? Simply outstanding. We ordered a variety of vegetarian dishes, and each one was bursting with rich flavors and perfectly balanced spices. The naan was soft, warm, and slightly charred—just the way it should be. The rice was fragrant and fluffy, a perfect complement to the hearty curries. The vegetable curry had an incredible depth of flavor, and the paneer dish was creamy, comforting, and downright delicious. The pickled sides added an extra zing, making every bite even more exciting.

Service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to offer recommendations. The portions were generous, and every dish felt like it was made with care.

Looking for Chicken Masala here’s your sign. You can choose your heat level. The breads are awesome we did a little of everything and the side suaces (green one is awesome) food is fresh and homemade. The atmosphere and customer service are great making this place overall winner. Love everything and will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family.

Nice atmosphere created inside with pictures and murals. Food was good with a choice between different levels of spicy. However even the hottest spicy was not as hot as we had hoped for. Drink were good. Appetizers we had Samosa which were very good. Parking nearby in garages and neighborhoods.
