By far the best Indian food in town. I always get their shahi paneer and it is the best I've ever had. Good portion size, superb flavor. I usually order to go with garlic naan and they've always been kind enough to include a small portion of basmati rice. Pick up is always smooth. They'll also go ahead and click the "no tip" button before swiveling the tablet for you to pay which I think is pretty respectful for to go orders. Either way, would definitely recommend.
Hands down the best Indian food I have had so far. My family used to frequent a place in Diamond Bar but Punjab Palace is so much better. This is authentic Indian food; no fusions or any substitutes. Service was the best and the owner himself even checked up on our table. We will definitely be back to try out other dishes!
We ran across this place and decided to try it and glad we did. This place is definitely one of our favorite so far. We liked the fact that we were seated right away. Customer service was great. Everyone was friendly and courteous. They checked on us several times to make sure if we needed anything. The place was wasn't as busy, thank goodness, but we did see that they had a lot of to-go orders. The place was nice and relaxing. They had tv screens with music videos for entertainment. What stood out and is the most important was the food! We tried their garlic chicken (if you're a garlic lover, you'll like this) and their bhindi masala (okra). I never liked okra before until I tasted this dish. They gave us a choice and asked how spicy we wanted the food. We don't like hot/ spicy dishes so we asked for mild and it was wonderful. It was mild, but very flavorful. We also tried their gulab jamun dessert (it's like a warm donut in a sweet syrup ). Food was excellent! I can't wait to go back and try other dishes. Update: We came back during lunch and they have a lunch special for $12.95 that has curry chicken, chicken masala, saag paneer (homemade cheese & creamed spinach), garlic naan (it's like a pita bread), and gulab jamun (dessert). All of this for 1 price. Love it.
Lunch buffet is available again! All the food was quite delicious. Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians are satisfied. I enjoyed six types of curry (chicken, chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, dal makhani, veg korma, aloo gobi), pakora, tandoor chicken, two types of dessert (carrot and rice pudding), salad and fruit. Served garlic naan was also great. In addition, the ethnic interior improved my appetite. The price was $18.50, which was reasonable for the food quality. I believe that Punjab Palace is the best Indian restaurant in Riverside and would like to revisit.
The food is very good. I used to have to travel all the way to Norwalk to get good food 🇮🇳 now it's a waste of time and money. Not everywhere has that kind of flavor. I love this place.
Awesome food. Too bad buffet is closed but I would eat there everyday! This place never dissapoints, the curry is so creamy and delicious, the chicken is cook perfectly, and the rice is heavenly. You will love their dinner options.
Love coming here for my Indian food itch. It's inexpensive ($10.95 AYCE) and tasty. They don't have the biggest lunch selection compared to some Indian restaurants but that's considered a positive in my book. The selection of food they do have are perfected and mastered. Without a doubt, we always order the mango lassi with our meal. Complimentary garlic naan is served with it and it's always piping hot and fresh.
