I've had some of the best Indian cuisine in NYC, and this place TOPPED that. I decided to order a few things others have suggested and going by these items, I was floored by the flavor and freshness.
Samosa Chaat- 9/10 Absolutely a flavor explosion. It has everything I love in an appetizer. Samosas on the bottom, smothered in an array of delicious chickpeas, red onion, sauces. I only took 1 point off due to ONE single bite that was just a giant hit of ginger. Otherwise it was perfect. I usually eat it with a little rice to make it almost a full meal.
Lamb Ka-Rara- 10/10 Mild-Med Spice: I would've gone spicier but I wasn't sure how they handle it and I would say this was closer to mild (I'll try medium spice next). The lamb was so tender and flavorful. The sauce was PERFECTLY balanced. The only downside is even though I want to try other items on the menu, I don't want to NOT order this again! Rice come's with the meal and I will score that separately.
Paneer-Naan- 10/10 The perfect bread for the Lamb Ka-Rara . Other places tend to put too much emphasis on herbs on the naan as of late, this lets the Paneer truly shine. I'm glad I bought 2.
Bhatura- 10/10 This puffy piece of bread was a great delivery system to the Lamb Ka-Rara as well. Chewy and fried but NOT AT ALL greasy as I would have expected (had to travel from their location to Moorhead side for delivery).
Plain Rice-10/10 Like Japanese cuisine, Sushi is all about the rice and that's no different here for the Basmati. Fragrant, cooked perfectly. Perfect addition to any meal that has a nice sauce that needs another delivery system into your face.
Overall this might have been the greatest food experience I've had in a very long time. I wish I took pictures but I couldn't stop eating. The portions were large but I ate until I hated myself it was so good. Worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY. I pity those who have not tried this place yet. GO THERE NOW.
Special mention: One thing I appreciate is how they mark off their order for delivery. You can tell after they put an item in, they put a check mark next to the item on the receipt so they are MAKING SURE you get your food and then staple the bag.
Overall Score: 10/10 The only thing I imagine that would make this experience better, is eating there in person.
All my reviews are from using delivery services like Doordash or pickup. This may impact the overall quality of...
Read moreI'm from Valley City and love picking up takeout to bring home when I'm in Fargo. Your restaurant serves the best Indian food I've ever had! I stopped in on Tuesday to order food to bring home to my family after running some errands. The food was prepared quickly (less than a 15 minute wait) AND you included a bonus appetizer (vegetable pakora) as a surprise. It's so hard to drive for nearly an hour with incredible smelling food right next to me in the car, but somehow I managed. My favorite meal (so far) is the Chicken Saag (Palak). Extra spicy! It was made to perfection, as always. I have two teenage boys (nearly 18 and nearly 16) who are picky eaters and they prefer pizza over most anything. So far, I've managed to win the older one over to trying Indian food. I ordered him the Lamb Ka-Rara to try and he said it's his new favorite. I also picked up an extra spicy order of Lamb Rogan Josh, another favorite, for my boyfriend. He's also a huge fan or your food. My younger son is a work in progress and still prefers pizza, but at least he's trying new foods and gave the Garlic Naan, Vegetable Pakora and Kheer two thumbs up. I need to remember to order his food MILD. He isn't quite ready for spicy, so he gave his order of Chicken Saag (Palak) one thumb up, but said it would have been two thumbs up if I hadn't ordered it spicy.
I want to say THANK YOU for preparing such incredible food and always making me feel like family when I come to the restaurant. Always such a friendly, happy greeting from the moment I walk in followed by the genuine thank you as I leave with my meals! The entrees are top-notch and very generous! There is enough for two meals every time I order an entree so I know I'll be happy to have leftovers the next day and experience the food joy all over again. I always follow the meal with Kheer. The Scandinavian party of me loves the similarity to rice pudding and it's such a satisfying finish to a lively meal. Anytime someone asks me for a new or different place to try in the Fargo area, especially if it's for Indian or spicy food, India Palace is the first place that I recommend. THANK YOU, my friends, for bringing your amazing food to the Fargo area! Now, if only we could get a restaurant in...
Read moreQuick context, I'm a big fan of authentic cuisine, and this place does not disappoint. (And what I mean by that is that sometimes the cuisine can be Americanized and some flavor is lost, which I'm not a fan of.)
I went with my wife and two kids, was seated in the "private" area (meaning we got there early and our section was empty.) It later filled up. The owner talked with us and was super friendly. Our server recommended some dishes to us which we had never tried. We ordered samosas and the fried veggies for apps, 3 different types of curry (two of which were brand new to us) and 2 pieces of naan (which are sliced up and must have had a pretty large square footage originally. 2 slices was more than enough for the 3 curries we ordered.)
In any case, the curries were flat out equal to the best I have ever had. The heat level can be chosen to your preference. I like spicy food, we ordered the 4/5 spicy, and it was hot, but not overwhelming. Perfect for what I like. Flavor of everything was absolutely amazing. Highly, highly, recommend.
Please, please patronize this place. It's amazing. I'm a great home cook, but this is food I can't replicate easily. If you eat out, this is well worth...
