I've been scouring the Valley for a good Indian food place and was hoping that Guru Palace would/could be it.
I was mistaken. It's not bad, it's not good. It's just kind of ... there. I'll eat there again if someone suggests it, but I won't go out of my way to offer it as a place for my friends and I to gather.
I was there for the lunch time buffet that was priced at $8.99. Not bad. My friend and I were offered naan and I was about to say yes when my friend asked if we would be charged extra for it - we weren't.
They had chicken tikka masala and chicken korma out. The chicken tikka masala was ok, but nothing to write home about, as was the chicken korma. I decided to sample their palak paneer and found it was the best thing they had. I also tried their curried pakora...big mistake. I like pakora, but to combine it in a generic yellow curry sauce was a mistake. It just wasn't right. It didn't taste right either - neither to myself or my friend.
As I said, the food was ok. I was impressed with the decor and the overall cleanliness of the restaurant.
The servers were attentive and friendly. I swear, for every sip of water I took, someone was there topping off my glass. I like that.
I'll give it a go again and see if they can change my rating...but I'll wait till a friend suggests we go.
