India Palace — Restaurant in Paradise

We came in yesterday for an early dinner around 4pm and were sat at the booth by this older waitress. She had a smug look on her face and never once smiled, my thoughts were she had dry humor… but she was RUDE! I was so excited to have some REAL spicy Indian food, I told her several times how I loved spicy food and that’s why we came to India Palace vs the other mildly spicy buffet style Indian restaurants. We ordered garlic naan (1 order was pretty small and burned to a crisp… but it was tasty), lamb biryani rice (we asked for no extra spice since the kids would try it… the waitress said it was a bit spicy and we were fine with that… and it was delicious… it came with raita too), tandoori chicken (it came out sizzling hot, a bit dry and needed more salt… but it was good)… and then I said I wanted VERY spicy chicken tikka masala… the waitress said 1-5 and we said 4… it came out less spicy than the biryani rice! I waved the waitress down to let her know it wasn’t spicy at all… Instead of apologizing for her mistake she went on to tell me that there were two levels of spice… basically “white-people” spice levels and “Indian-people” spice levels… she should have said 1-10… she was very demeaning in the way she blamed me for her own mistake… and then what really ticked me off was that she said she was going to add green chili to it herself instead of having the cooks re-make the dish… what kind of service is that? I told her I didn’t want it, and to take it off the bill… she took the curry and came back and said I needed to take it, and I said “No, I do not want it…take it off the bill”… she kept shoving it in my face till I was furious and said we’ll just get to-go boxes and we will take the bill. I will NEVER come back here again because of that waitress… the food was good but she just left such a bad experience for me… I would rather drive a bit further and go to Taj Palace in Henderson… at least the service and the food...

Hidden amidst liquor stores and laundromats just a few blocks from the Sphere India Palace has been serving Sin City for nearly 30 years, owners Surjit Heera and Devinder Singh choosing to focus more on Food and service than atmosphere inside a space that is larger than it appears.

A cornerstone of the local Indian community, busses frequently making stops with a throng of guests, it is from a list of North Indian plates that guests are invited to choose from Appetizers, Entrees and Stews both Vegetarian and Omnivore.

Fronted by friendly staff, fare prices despite good Ingredients a key to India Palace’s success, classics come in the form of Paneer Cheese cooked in Onions and Peppers plus golden-fried Samosas stuffed by Peas and Potatoes.

Opting for Mango Lassi, though a bar including Indian Beer is available, housemade Chutney accompanies complimentary Papadum ready to prepare the palate for Lamb or Chicken from the Tandoor or Amritsari Fish crisp beneath Chickpea Flour.

Attuned to the classics, Butter Chicken here indistinguishable from others in town, those seeking something with more spice should consider either Chicken Vindaloo or Aloo Gobi balancing Turmeric and Cumin with Curry.

Not forgetting cooked Spinach and Cheese, a counterpoint to creamy Rogan Josh and bone-in Karahi Goat, Naan comes soft and fluffy in various forms amenable to soaking up the Sauce from all of the above plus Shrimp Korma.

Currently only offering a Buffet for special occasions, and "sold out" of Dosa, Dessert runs a traditional gamut of Kheer or Gulab Jamun, though the standouts are fragrant Gajar Halwa and Ras Malai featuring thick Cream perfumed...

Update: While my below review was true over a year ago, recently their food quality has dropped. it is not as delicious as it used to be. Also they have South Indian dishes on their menu that they never actually have available.

Jash and India Palace were incredible caterers for our wedding. Putting on a Jewish/Hindu fusion wedding, we knew we needed Indian food and India Palace never disappointed us. Ever from our first time meeting Jash at our tasting, we knew we were in great hands. They worked with our vision for our menu, including providing us dishes that they don’t even have on their own menu just to make sure our special day was outstanding. They were able to provide us with two appetizers, four entrees, two kinds of naan, rice, riata and ladoos all for a very reasonable cost. Our guests could not stop raving about their food. One of our personal highlights of the reception was a close friend of ours stopping by our sweetheart table to tell us “Looks like I really like Indian food!” We have since taken that friend back to India Palace for dinner. We also worked with Jash to cater our Menhdi/Heena Party at our home a couple of days before the wedding. He was able to package up plates for each guest to maintain Covid protocols so everyone was still able to enjoy various appetizers and sweets. There were many memorable moments at our wedding but seeing how much everyone enjoyed the Indian food just made us so happy. And having chaat papdi waiting for us after our first dance was nice also. Thanks Jash and the team at India Palace for everything and for helping make our wedding day...
