Many of my reviews are long and wordy, giving the owners and management the opportunity to get honest feedback. Guru Palace makes this easy - there is no "The Not-so-Good" section for them, only the reasons they get full marks and one very prestigious honor:
This is the BEST curry I have ever had - which includes a Tour d' Curry I went on in England, trying to find the best curry.
The Good:
- Food: Again...I say only that THIS IS THE BEST CURRY I HAVE EVER HAD. The garlic naan also incredible - flaky and light. The most interesting thing that I have started to notice with Indian restaurants is the anise and licorice mixes on the way out. Guru Palace has fresh, soft anise that puts a refreshing finish to your experience.
- Ambiance: Guru Palace has the most beautifully appointed ambiance of any Indian restaurant I have visited. There is a place to sit at a low table on pillows with a group if you'd like to take the ambiance one step further. The lighting is romantic, but not so low as to make you miss the nuances of your company.
- Service: After the second time my fiancee and I went to Guru palace, they recognized us and welcomed us back. When you order to go, they are on time and responsive to you.
- Prices: The most incredible thing about Guru Palace is that all of the things I mention above come at very reasonable prices. There are no surprises on your bill, and if you happen to come by for the lunch buffet, it's nothing short of a killer deal.
