India Palace - Rahway

We were looking forward to coming here for quite sometime because of the rave reviews but boy were we disappointed. We went on a Wednesday a little before 1:30pm. We figured the lunch rush would be dying down but still have enough options for their buffet.Nope. When we arrived we 1st thought it was closed. It was dark, empty and everything was filthy. They said it would take aminute for them to clean a table for us so we took that opportunity to check out the items at the buffet. There were barely anyoptions, only veg and didnt like appetizing or appealing. We decided to order from the menu instead. Surely after reading thereviews that would be our best bet. I ordered the sampler platter and my husband ordered the Chicken Biryani. The biryani wasmediocre at best. What upset us the most was being charged $11.99 for a sampler platter that was dry, oily, over fried andonly had about 10 little pieces. Not worth the price. While we were waiting I noticed the person cleaning the other tableswould check if the glasses on a clearly dirty table were used. If it wasnt obvious that they were dirty he would reset the tableusing the same glasses. I dont know about you but I didnt feel comfortable drinking out of their glasses not knowing if theywere touched or even sipped on by a previous customer. Mind you, I 've been to my fair share of Indian restaurants around theworld and this by far has been the most disappointing one.

Lamb chops were delicious???????? Good service. We did come back again and we got the same delicious lamb chops. Great service! Love the new look too.

Food was not okay, I ordered dum alloo kasmiri, aloo were not even cooked. Showed it to the owner too.Their daal makhni was white, never in my life I had seen white daal makhni.Some of the appetizers did not make it to the table.Soup came after we had finished our main course.I can provide more input if needed.

The food was delicious. It's our new place to go for Indian food.

Nice Indian food. And staff really good and friendly.
