Amrit Palace — Restaurant in Ocala

I have been dining at Amrit Palace since the owners, both son and daughter were very young teens, so I would say, 15 years or more. Amrit Palace is the most beautiful and elegant restaurant with the warm, rich Ambiance of India all throughout. I am Armenian and I am obsessed with a high regard for Persian cultures and the country of India!!

The appetizers to the food are made from scratch, fresh, and ever so delicious.The desserts are light and refreshing. EVERYTHING is authentically prepared and served with 5 star goodness every single time! Amrit Palace never disappoints on any given day! I LOVE Indian food so I eat everything on the menu but, Dal Soup, Vegetable Samosa, Garlic Naan, Tandoori Chicken, and Rice Pudding are my go to all time favorites!

Every single waiter that has ever served me in 15 plus years are ALL absolutely professional, kind with such huge smiles on their faces all the time. They always check in with me throughout my dining to make sure the food is to my liking, topping off drinks and that I am happy. I have never had one bad experience at Amrit Palace. 5 star service and 5 star excellence!!

My personal favorite waiter and the one I always have for 5 years is, Kiran. Kiran is sooooo sweet and soooo special and I just love him:) He is very kind, very attentive with ear to ear smiles nonstop. Kiran checks in throughout my meal making sure every moment of my meal whether it is lunch or dinner, is good and that I am satisfied. I love you Kiran, you are the BEST!!

The american culture really has a lot to learn because they can not hold a candle to what Amrit Palace stands for. Best 5 star restaurant in history!! I have never in 50 years given a review like this to any restaurant. You earned a perfect review like this because Amrit Palace does it again, time and time again!

Thank you for continued perfection of hospitality like no other, blended with the ethnic culture experience of Indian Cuisine.

Yours Truly,

Absolutely wonderful. I have a lot of experience with Indian food because I used to work with a large group of Indian men who were very picky about the food they ate. I think they had wives who would make the meal perfectly. In any case they would not go to certain restaurants that I thought were fine. It had to always be the best. This place, Amrit Palace, was extremely good. The food melted in your mouth. Forgive me if I am not Indian and I still find some food really good when others don't. But I do think that most people would love this restaurant even if they're used to eating Indian food everyday. One little point I should mention is that they have on the menu a list of how you would like your food, the choices being not spicy or spicy. I ordered the mildly spicy for my meal and it was still a little hot for me, but I am not Indian so I understand why they would think some things are not hot and yet the unaccustomed palette would think it was, at least the first time. Regardless, the food was absolutely delicious. I wish I lived closer to this restaurant. I would be there all the time. My waiter was very nice. Courteous and knowledgeable about the food. The atmosphere of the restaurant was wonderful. There was a little bit of music in the background which made it even better. I do suggest that you try this restaurant. They have lunch specials Monday through Friday I believe. Depending on what you order you can run up a fairly big bill. But if you're reasonable, the bill will be just average. I rushed home to finish my doggy bag from Amrit Palace. Truly love their mango juice also. Also loved the samosas and the yellow...

Dining at Amrit Palace was a full experience not just because of the food, but also the atmosphere and service. The ambiance has a warm, elegant touch with a mix of modern and traditional details that immediately makes you feel comfortable. It’s the kind of space that works equally well for a cozy dinner, a night out with friends, or even a special occasion.

The staff was welcoming from the moment I walked in. Attentive without being overbearing, they guided me through the menu and even offered recommendations that ended up being some of my favorite dishes. Their friendliness and knowledge added so much to the experience and made the evening feel effortless.

Now, onto the food and everything delivered. The gobhi manchurian came out perfectly crisp with a tangy-spicy sauce, while the crispy cabbage and chickpea salad were light and refreshing starters that balanced out the bold flavors. For mains, the lamb korma was rich and creamy with tender meat, and the shrimp masala had that perfect kick, with juicy shrimp soaking in a flavorful masala gravy.

The cocktails were another highlight. I tried the Indian Summer and Gulabi Rani both unique, refreshing, and crafted to pair beautifully with the dishes. And of course, I couldn’t skip dessert: the mango cheesecake was smooth, fruity, and the perfect sweet ending without feeling too heavy. Between the cozy atmosphere, the attentive service, and a menu packed with delicious dishes, Amrit Palace is a restaurant that leaves a lasting impression. It’s the type of place I’d recommend for anyone craving flavorful Indian cuisine in a setting that feels both inviting...
