| - We were originally planning to go next door, but the waiter talked us into giving this a try instead. We almost immediately wished we had chosen differently.
First we were started off with a papadum that was more like a toasted soy cracker. I've actually had this kind of thing before and never liked it when it comes out like this, but at least usually you can hide it with some decent chutney. At Indian Palace we basically got slightly spicy ketchup.
For the main course we got butter chicken, chana masala and okra. The okra was a bit on the slimy side and not particularly flavorful. I've had Chana Masala that is as good from a tasty bites package, and in fact that was what it most reminded me of. We also ordered roti, paratha. The paratha was good, but the roti was a bit on the tough side. We also had an ordeal with the rice. We were only going to order 1 but the waiter was push and convinced us that we needed two, which they billed us for. But we only got one plate of rice, and they billed us for two, including a pilou (which we didn't order or receive). There are only two possible reasons, either they overcharged us for something we didn't get or the rice portions are incredibly tiny. Either way it was a rip off. I didn't bother to talk to them about the rice though, I just took it out of their tip. Also the waiters were pushy, from beer, to the rice to the whole meal. It is what got us through the door, so I guess it worked, but it didn't create a good experience and none of us will be back.
