India Palace

Scrumptious food, excellent service, relaxing atmosphere - all at a modest price

I have enjoyed every meal here. I'm not an expert on Indian food, but I have eaten at several Indian restaurants in this city, and I often seek out Indian food when I'm out of town. The food here is on par with others. The service has been great. I have never been asked for a tip as some of the reviews here suggest, but I have always left a good tip because I was more than satisfied with the food and the service. I must say, though, that I may not be typical in what I expect from the waiters. Here, they do not paste on a phony smile constantly and try to have conversations me as if I am their newest best friend - which I find extraordinarily annoying at many establishments. I enjoy someone who is friendly, but not overbearingly so. I also appreciate being allowed to relax and enjoy my desert, coffee or tea after my dinner without someone hovering over me waiting to clean my table. The waiters here are courteous and tend to the needs of the patrons promptly. They answer any questions about the menu and make informed recommendations when asked to do so. I'll be back again and again.

Great indian food

by briandaly at Citysearch

My family and I have been a regular at the India Palace. Their food is delicious and their buffet is comparable in price to other buffets. I love the view and for the most part service is great. Highly recommended to anyone who loves to try different cultural foods.

• Pros: Great ambience and romantic. Comparable prices for Indian cuisine
• Cons: Difficult to get to

Best Indian in St. Louis (not saying much, but it is pretty good)

Ihave been a lover of Indian Food for years, but until I visited the Indian Palace a couple of weeks ago, I had never had a decent Indian dish in St. Louis. My wife and I had the Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Tikka Masala. I can't recommend anything else, since I haven't tried them yet, but our food was excellent. The service was good, although our waiter didn't seem to speak much English (they sent a substitute). The view of the runways was fun, too.

• Pros: Great Vindaloo and Tikka Masala, fun view of runways
• Cons: Waiters were courteous, but not all that friendly (I didn't see one smile even once)
