India Palace

I recently was craving Indian food and since moving to San Diego, I Had not tried any Indian food spots. I am so happy this was my first experience because I Was so satisfied with the overall experience and the food. I absolutely love Indian food, and this was the freshest most authentic Indian food I’ve ever tried. The ambience is so cute. There’s even a water feature that makes it very luxurious, but peaceful at the same time. This restaurant is so unique And I will definitely be taking my entire family there when they come to visit me. The staff was extremely kind, so nice and helped me through the menu. Definitely recommend butter chicken, and the cauliflower appetizer and their chai tea is made in house the right way. I’m literally eating my leftovers as I’m writing this review.

Food was delightful. Surface was great. We were disappointed initially that they are not offering the buffet lunch menu anymore. However, we were able to order items that we know we liked and we were not disappointed. There’s a garlic cheese naan that I haven’t seen on other.Menus. We loved the taste. We ordered two main dishes, raita and two breads. Definitely too much for two people next time we would just get one of the entrées.

India Palace in Hillcrest is an absolute gem for Indian cuisine lovers! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance that set the perfect tone for an amazing dining experience. The food? Simply outstanding. We ordered a variety of vegetarian dishes, and each one was bursting with rich flavors and perfectly balanced spices. The naan was soft, warm, and slightly charred—just the way it should be. The rice was fragrant and fluffy, a perfect complement to the hearty curries. The vegetable curry had an incredible depth of flavor, and the paneer dish was creamy, comforting, and downright delicious. The pickled sides added an extra zing, making every bite even more exciting. Service was impeccable—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to offer recommendations. The portions were generous, and every dish felt like it was made with care. If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food in San Diego, India Palace is the place to be. Whether you're a spice enthusiast or prefer milder flavors, their menu has something for everyone. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

After a very long found some authentic Indian food here at India palace. Aloo tikki was so crispy on the outside and soft inside, aloo paratha was soft and Reshami kebab was so flavorful… must try. Can’t wait to go back. A little pricey but worth it. Street parking is little hard to find.

India Palace in San Diego is a gem for authentic Indian cuisine. The food is flavorful and well-prepared, with highlights like butter chicken and freshly baked naan.

I was craving chicken tikka masala. This is SO delicious. Literally eating it right now and had to write a review! Flavors are spot on, so fresh, DELICIOUS. Highly recommend.

Looking for Chicken Masala here's your sign. You can choose your heat level. The breads are awesome we did a little of everything and the side suaces (green one is awesome) food is fresh and homemade. The atmosphere and customer service are great making this place overall winner. Love everything and will definitely be back and recommending to friends and family.
