Reviews for Palace of India in Grand Rapids, MI

Awesome flavor. I love the dishes here. There are several vegetarian options. The only note I would make is that there is some... heat to the spices. I love the food because it can be hot and flavorful, but even the mild dish we got had a bit of heat. Mytake-out was ready quicker than expected. The staff was there as soon as I walked in and both people who spoke to me werefriendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and will be back. Read more

Like most other places, they were slightly strapped for staff. But those that were there did a great job! Food was incredible,... fresh, and perfectly cooked. I love Indian Lager beer, too, it turns out. Read more

Been here twice, once for take out and once as a work dinner. The first time we came I thought the food was fine but I couldn?t... get over that they charge you extra for rice, never seen that at an Indian restaurant, and beyond that the size of rice wassuppose to be for two, but we had to skimp on the rice to make it work for two. So I made a point to never come here again butcame as a work dinner which work paid for and the saag paneer and other dishes were really good. If you?re okay getting hustledfor small portions of rice then not a bad option to eat here, if you don?t want to pay extra for rice that doesn?t feed theamount of people promised then avoid Palace of India.

Actually, what spurred me to write this review was that at the end of our service yesterday, I got a box and our server tried to... take my leftovers and then got upset when we asked if we could give her three payment methods. Stand-alone this wouldn?t warranta negative review in my option, but there was a lot of miscommunication in the process of ordering a drink that brought down thewhole experience. It?s the main complaint of my review. Well, I wanted a beer cause it was hot in the restaurant yesterday andthe AC seemed to be completely out. When I asked for the beer list, server asked 3-4 times to tell her what beer I wanted toorder. Eventually she grabbed a little beer list on a silver stand, set it down and quickly bolted away. While not shy aboutwalking by, which was great, she stared straight ahead without acknowledging me all the way until we received our food. Bussingtables, seating people, and even chasing someone down to return their card (which I thought was very nice) and working hard!But, every time she passed, not acknowledging that I had my ID face up on the table and was waiting to put in my beer order. Ieven asked to order a beer while she refilled my water and she essentially ignored me and left. I ended up having to ask thecook who brought out our food in order get her attention. Server looked at me really weird when I asked for a Blue Moon, butthen she asked me if I wanted her to get me a beer list. This felt really weird since when I had asked for the list 25 minutesago she tried to take my beer order, and now while ordering a beer after I had gotten my food, she was trying to get me the beerlist. When I finally got the dang thing, I received a different beer than I?d even ordered and it came after all the food wasdropped. It was cold and delicious though. I also ordered the big meat platter for dinner and specified that I wanted itbrought out as an entree (my two friends each got a korma) and my meal was presented to the group as Read more

Very oily food, chicken soup is like straight gravy chicken. Raw shrimps on shrimp briyani and a small portion. Very slow... service. Read more

Beside the rancid Aloo Gobi they gave us the food was actually good particularly the vegetable korma, shrimp vindaloo and goat... pickle. Horrible service though. Server was always annoyed, even when I asked for a straw. When I asked what option were halal,again server was annoyed. The halal options are beef and lamb. Read more

Indian cuisine does not get better than this in the US. Amazing flavors, great staff, clean place that you will love. Skip the... American pub food and treat yourself here! Read more

We're new to the area and I'm super happy we stopped in. The butter chicken was great and the garlic naan was perfect (baked... fresh to our order!) The staff was super friendly but there were a few times i had to go approach them when we needed something.All in all I think we'll be back Read more
