This little strip mall Indian restaurant gets a bonus point for being so beautiful inside. Very contemporary with traditional flair. It gets minus one point beacuse it was hot. Was thA/C broken or was the food's spicey nature taking advantage of me? It was slightly unpleasant but I will get over it. The Guru Palace get's 3 solid stars on it's very friendly helpful service and it's wonderful food. I have only dined here twice and it was consitantly good.
This time from the $8.99 buffett I tried the Palaak Paneer which is excellent. I of course had a piece of the Tandoori Chicken (thigh piece, I think. I have a thing for meat on the bone-don't care for it. That's why I prefer Chicken Tikka.) It was good but not as good as the Chicken Marsala. Pungent and very flavorful. The rice was a differnt form today-not basmati which I prefer. There was a new dish I did not recognize called Mushroom Matar (?). It was delicious with bits of onion and peas in a tangy light gravy of sort. I also enjoy the garlic naan. No papdum was offerred this time. I did enjoy a split of champagne which compliments the delightful spicey flavors without filling you up.
I was so warm from the lack of a/c and hot spicy achaar chutney (my favorite) that I was melting like the wicked witch at my table.
The service was very friendly and I don't know how anyone could call this expensive. I thought it was downright cheap! $3.99 for champagne plus two full plates of great food. It is a great place to stop in for reliable food, kind staff and beutiful dining room.
