India Palace Restaurant (TANDOOR) — Restaurant in New Haven

Indian cuisine is my all time favorite and I crave curry. India Palace is by far the best Indian restaurant in the New Haven area...heck I will go out on a limb and say all of CT. I have had the pleasure of eating from here (both dine in and take out) 3-4 times a month for the past 3 years. I have also made it my mission to try all the other NH area Indian restaurants and none of them even come close to the quality of India Palace. I lived in Boston/Cambridge area for 13 years and tried every Indian restaurant in a 15-mile radius, so I like to think I have a good idea of what (Americanized) North Indian cuisine should taste like. India Palace is right up there with my favorite Boston curry house, Punjab Cafe. What I love most about India Palace is that each dish is distinct in it's flavor, not muddled like other restaurants in the area (where their curries, masala, and korma all taste the same and it doesn't matter what you order, they are interchangeable). I've tried most of the dishes on the menu and the standouts to me are their saag paneer, chicken korma, anything vindaloo. But you can't go wrong with any of their curries. Their naan is perfectly charred and never greasy. I also love their pakoras and samosas. Vegetarian-friendly and they will accommodate vegans, you just need to ask. You can also order take out via 3 different websites and they offer several coupons/discounts when you place your...

This place is inside a quant 50s diner-style building. The ambiance is semi upscale and provides a unique "date night" feel. I especially like that despite being at a very busy intersection it is still quiet. I've had the chicken tikka masala and the tomato base is delicious. The mixed appetizer plate has just the right amount of different items to try out with 2 sauces that are both spicy and sweet along with onions (I'm not a fan of onions but I'm sure these are a great pairing). Lunch specials are still big portions so come with an appetite. The owner clearly cares and can be available if you need something or have a question. We went for a late lunch on a Tuesday and we're served quickly. The appetizer came out in plenty of time and we got to enjoy it before our entrée arrived. Very...

First , the waitress had made a mistake mixing our order with another table, and when we told her , she just simply brought the dishes from the other table_which are already had been used by other people_ so it's just like you have to eat after strange people. We told the manager , he exactly didn't do nothing. the second time i went with my friend at lunch time, and it's a buffet, but my friend asked for the menu and as all of you know the prices are higher in the menu, but i decided to try the buffet, the manager was like crazy, he was yelling at us when he saw me giving something from my own plate to my friend saying he shouldn't try the buffet, he was very rude , and he didn't do it in private, he did it in front of everybody, I wish I can give ZERO stars...
