Delhi Palace is definitely my favorite Indian restaurant in Phoenix. Located very close to ASU, I used to come here all the time while I was in school. They have a great lunch buffet everyday, then they are closed for a couple of hours before re-opening for dinner. As expected, the quality of the lunch buffet is slightly lower than the dinner meals, because the food is made in giant batches rather than prepared on demand. It's still delicious, don't worry!
I love that they rotate their selection so you always get something different at lunch. The classics stay the same - chicken tikka masala, lamb, rice(s), vegetable fritters. They always have vegetarian dishes and some vegan options as well. Garlic naan is delivered to your table throughout your meal. The lunch buffet includes chai tea and dessert (rice pudding anyone?!).
I like to come here for dinner when I'm with a group of people, so we can order a variety of dishes and share. Service is always great and they'll remember you if you come here as often as I do! Try the lunch buffet, then bring your family here for dinner. You won't be disappointed!
