Indian Palace Mainz — Restaurant in Mainz

Sharing reviews of our visit from 25.07.2021. To whom who are looking for a summary:

Mango lassi is good (practically you cannot do anything wrong in that), but when it comes to food, they are just mixing ingredients together and don't know anything about Indian food. So go there is you are really hungry and can't walk another meter, else find yourself better place for the premium food prices they charge.

To whom who are looking for detail reviews:

Butter chiken at Indian palace should be called Tomato Chicken, was nothing close to authentic taste (not talking about the spice level here). The chiken was overcooked, full of uncooked tomato puree and raw masala (dint give spices enough time to blend)

Paneer pasanda, will just say adding almonds on the top docent make the dish delicious. There are plenty of recipes online, if you want to serve the customers right, better learn and serve them right

Service, the waiters are really pushy, when it comes to ordering drinks. In 10 minutes they asked 5 times for us to order drinks and ultimately gave our space once we ordered, need to learn basic rules of hospitality.

We also ordered other dishes, the review will almost be same. So to teh people looking for good authentic indian food, Indian Palace is definitely not the...

I’m not a big fan of ‘dining out’ on Indian food outside of India. Mostly because they turn out to be major disappointments. I didn’t go to this place with plenty of hope. But with the limited choices around, my wife and I decided to give it a try one day.

That was over a year and a half ago. Since then we’ve eaten there 3-4 times. Although my first experience wasn’t great, it wasn’t bad either. I must say that since then I haven’t been really disappointed. In my latest visit though things took an unexpected turn so much so that I can now say that I would certainly return there again. Their ‘naan’ has always been good; recently I tried the veg biryani, which was mind-blowing, and the matar paneer was delicious as well. I was impressed, and therefore can recommend the food, although I can’t promise on the consistency. The service has always been prompt and friendly, so they earn their points in that department.

Having said that, I can not recommend their mango lassi. What I had wasn’t lassi, it was something else. I’m not a big fan of their interiors either. But it...

We were flying to the United States so instead of looking for any options in Frankfurt, we took a train to Mainz and since this place was at 10-12 minutes distance from the train station, I decided to give it a try.

I would say it’s a decent place but some dishes were not good at all. For example we tried some appetizers (pakoras and murgh pakora) and felt like it was not cooked properly and too dry.

In the curries, the Paneer Masala was good but the Karahi Murgh was tasteless and only small amount of curry and chicken pieces. They even charged extra for lime/lemon which does not happen in any Indian restaurants all over the world (I have been to 18 countries and reviews each place personally).

Overall, I felt like a very pricy place for the quantity they provide. The water bottle was priced at whopping 6.90 Euros which is very rare as I tried many Indian and non-Indian restaurants all over Germany during my 3 separate visits.

Anyway, felt like I should provide my...
