| - As a huge fan of Indian buffets for over the last twenty two years, I've tried quite a few in the east valley, and in that time, I long considered Delhi Palace over in Tempe as the gold standard. After multiple trips to New India Gate, they have officially taken the crown away from Delhi Palace as my all-time favorite!
The buffet is fully packed with tasty offerings which, once the craving hits, has me coming back just about every couple of weeks. At $9.95 for the weekend buffet, I truly feel that for the quality and quantity of food that they offer, you get more than your moneys worth. The Chicken Tikka Masala is absolutely scrumptious every single time that I visit this establishment, along with the Tandori Chicken, tender and juicy with just the right amount of spice to it, the Vegetable Samosas, a crispy, flaky pastry filled with spiced up potatoes and veggies, and their rice as the base, which is cooked to perfection every time I visit. The garlic naan has just the right amount texture and flavor to sop up alll of those incredible sauces on your plate to create the perfect bite. These are just a few of the many delicious choices that keep me coming back for more!
Lastly, the dessert selection is the perfect finishing acts to send your taste buds into the stratosphere. The Kheer is without a doubt, the best version of rice pudding that I've ever had. That along with the Golab Jaman, little balls of milky goodness, various spices and sugar syrup just add to the symphony of flavors that this fine place offers. Finally, the Gajar Halwa, their take on a sweet carrot dessert, which includes nuts and raisins, is just another home run that makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
Bottom line - if you've never gone outside the box and experimented with this type of food, the buffet at New India Gate is the perfect place to give your taste buds something new that they'll thank you for later. If you've already tried out Indian food and are a fan of this type of cuisine, come to this place and see what all of the terrific reviews are about! The family which owns the place truly show their love for the food that they're putting out for the masses and are extremely generous and personable. Keep up the high standard that you've already set New India Gate, it's certainly working on yours truly!
