Delhi Palace

  I stopped by to try their lunch buffet.
  
  I wasn't surprised that the buffet offered similar faire as India Palace and Shalimar since they are owned by the same people, in fact the buffet was about as large as the huge one at India Palace! The spices were perfect for each dish and everything tasted freshly prepared and authentic. My only slight complaint was that the Gulab Jamun was a little soggy - usually they're more firm but they still tasted as good as other places. But that won't stop me from coming back!
  
  Service was prompt and friendly, water glasses were kept full and the check came exactly when needed. Look for coupons in the Val Pak to save a buck on the buffet!

  This place is owned by the same crew that own Shalimar in Broadripple. Shalimar is my favorite Indian place ever. This is a close 2nd. You'd think they would be exactly the same, but they aren't...this one is just a little different.
  
  I most often order off the menu. I'm a HUGE fan of the Indian Chili. HUGE FAN! Order it spicy though...really spicy. They are shy to kick it up here...afraid of our wimpy american palates no doubt.
  
  The buffet is also a great choice. There are always several different dishes to try. I've yet to get really good, fresh naan on the buffet. Ordering it table side seems to be a better option. You can also try some of the different variations that way...jalepeno, cilantro, etc. I really dig the mint sauce...on everything.
  
  Carryout is also accurate and efficient. Sooo happy to have an Indian place close by.

  So after I leave the IUPUI campus, they finally decide to have more ethnic dining options within walkable distance. We were reunited this Saturday. After a grueling exam, crammed in the lecture hall seats, with half-sized pull out tables hunched over for hours - it was chow time for a celebratory finish.
  
  Delhi Palace is in that nook of eateries on Indiana Ave. Being a frequent of Amber on the northside, we decided to give this new lunch buffet a try. I was a little confused upon walking in whether to seat myself or have the waiter seat me since there's no little booth there. Just to let you know ahead of time - a waiter does seat you, just that he's running around tending to things before he notices your puzzled look.
  
  They have a good sized buffet table with both vegetarian and meaty staples. They also had this delicious lentil soup with hints of cilantro. Slurpin' yum! Garlic or plain naan is self-serve on the buffet trays, so they're not as great as the ones that come off piping hot as you order at Amber, but still decent. If you're a goat fan, they have this stew that's loaded with chunks of goat vs. other places where meat is sparse and bones are plenty. As for the chicken tikka masala and saag paneer - they were a little on the bland side for me, but if you like less spice infused dishes - then it'd be perfect for you.
  
  Would I come back here? Of course, to get my goat stew and naan fix. Or when I feel more veggy for vegetable pakoras and lentil soup. Can't beat a ~$9/pp AYCE buffet!

  Yes, I do enjoy the everything here. Saag paneer is decent, tandoor chicken is nice with a bit of lemon over it and some raw onion. Actually I can't think of anything here I don;t like.
  
  Kind of wish they gave out naan with the buffet but I am getting fatter just thinking about going back here to eat again, so....  maybe not.

  This review is kind of an addition to the review of Shalimar and India Palace because the owners are the same. Delhi Palace is the answer to my prayer for Indian food near campus! The opening was not advertised very well, but when I found out this place had opened, I was ecstatic. This place has about the same selection as Shalimar and India Palace (more choices than Shalimar, about the same amount as India Palace). This is a great option for those on campus, but the parking for lunch is a NIGHTMARE! This is not the restaurant's fault, but it is a pain to get a spot. I will definitely be braving the traffic to return! YAY, INDIAN FOOD ON CAMPUS!!!!

  Two words, amazing buffet. I highly recommend a visit if you ae feeling very hungry for flavorful and tasty food between the times of 11am-3pm. For lunch buffet, the price is around 10 bucks for all you can eat. Being Indian, I found the food authentic and delicious. If you're not going for the buffet, it can become pricey and the serving size not as plentiful.

  They have a place up on West 86th plus also own India Palace and Shalimar.  Went there for dinner.  The place is amazingly clean and attractive.  Nice selection on the menu, friendly staff.  The place was pretty empty on a Tuesday night, though.  Several people came in for carry-out.  I usually think the lunch buffets can be kind of average, but for dinner I think this place might be a little overpriced, and although the food was really good, I am not sure it is appreciably better than it might be from Shalimar's buffet.  (The buffet set-up at Delhi Palace, though, looks quite large, so they should do great business from IUPUI and IU and Wishard hospitals.)
