I had recently gone to the Indian buffet at Indian Spices, two doors down, so I wanted to compare. I would say that in a dead heat, Indian Spices would take the win. They are the same price, India Palace definitely has a nicer decor - it's larger and more spacious, but the food has a bit more spice at Indian Spices.
India Palace has a 8.99 lunch buffet. Standard fare with dessert, but all the food was lacking a bit in heat which was disappointing. Also, there weren't enough vegetables. I feel like everything was chicken which was not what everyone is looking for.
The hostess was quick with silverware and waters though. It looks like you could also get tea and some other drinks as well.
