New Delhi Palace Cuisine - Pasadena

Update to my previous review: I returned and had a much better experience. The flavors and spices were excellent this time, and I look forward to coming back. Parking: The restaurant offers ample and convenient free parking, which is a great perk.

Four of us had their lunch buffet two days ago. We were disappointed. The BBQ chicken had no flavor. We had to tell them there was no chicken on the Steam tray. We went because of their 4 star review. After dinning, we all agreed the food was really just okay. We paid 25/ per person plus tips.

I would give a zero star if I could, one of the worst Indian food experiences I had. After we made an order, we got a complement of chatney set with papad. Coriander chatney was bad by look and taste, tamarind chatney tasted more like a ketchup. Samosa chat was a disappointment. The filling in the samosa had too much salt and no spices, the chutneys were same as offered with papad and needless to say that they ruined the taste of already imperfect dish. The gravy in malai kofta was tasting more like a tomato gravy with almost no spices, koftas poorly made and not having authentic flavor. My friend got palak paneer with raw onions and spinach. The only thing that was more or less eatable there was a roti. Go there only if you want to have horrible food which completely lack any Indian flavors.

Very nice spot if you just need a break from the world for a moment as you eat delicious food. Everything is tasty and spiced to order, so make sure if you can't handle spicy you tell them. They atmosphere is awesome and the staff are attentive and friendly.Food: 5/5

The lunch buffet is worth it. I have always loved Indian offers but I haven't found one in Pasadena post pandemic. The food was fresh. The price was fair and the wait staff was very accommodating. I will come here again for the buffet.
