| - I've eaten at Delhi Palace many times, always hoping it would be better. The buffet does offer many choices, and it's a great stop for lunch, if your standards for Indian food are fairly low. I eat Indian food quite often at a variety of restaurants, so I have high standards. The prices here for entres are about average (just under $10) for Indian. The rice and naan must be ordered separately, which is also not uncommon. The service certainly was prompt, and that is appreciated. In fact, it seemed like we had two waiters last night, as two gentleman brought us food, refilled our drinks, and checked in on us. The disappointment came from the quality of food. It did not taste fresh. The basmati rice was somewhat hard, which may mean it was overcooked or old. The malai kofta that I ordered, usually a fool-proof dish, also tasted chewy and somewhat old. One of my companions was very happy with her chicken curry. The other companion was very disappointed with the yoghurt masala, which she said was devoid of any solid food and was much too spicy for "mild" as requested. If you're near ASU, I suppose it will have to do, but there are many tastier options in the same plaza/strip mall. I would not come back if I could avoid it.
