India Palace - Flagstaff

After exploring the Grand Canyon, we stopped by this restaurant for lunch. It has a convenient parking lot and clean restrooms. The interior decor gave off an old and slightly unkempt vibe, but the food was surprisingly delicious. We started with the aloo chilli appetizer, which featured raw vegetables alongside boiled and fried potatoes. The sauce was tasty, but we wished the onions and bell peppers were cooked a bit more. For our main dishes, we ordered butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, garlic naan, and rotis. The food tasted fresh and was perfectly spiced to Indian standards. The rotis were particularly impressive, and the garlic naan remained soft for a long time. Both the butter chicken and paneer tikka masala were fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our main course. The staff was also wearing masks, which we appreciated.

Having read other reviews, I had high expectations for the food at this restaurant. I can't speak to its authenticity, but the flavors were fantastic to me. We tried a variety of dishes, including the fried noodles, which were delicious. The saag naan was particularly excellent. The service was friendly, which enhanced the overall dining experience.

First we dined-in for lunch with momo chilli, chicken thukpa, lamb chowmein and mango ice-cream. We loved each of them, especially the first one! Then we ordered (for take-out) chicken momo , aloo chilli, Luksha samdeh (lamb gravy with potato). All 3 were fab! Lamb gravy was like bengali goat curry.

I went for dinner with friends after a long day in grand canyon. We had chicken vindaloo and butter chicken. Rice is free. Food was great. Specially the butter chicken. Employees were welcoming. Highly recommended.

The food is delicious! They have a vegetarian/vegan section on the menu, which is nice. I had Aloo Cauli Garlic Naan. Both were fabulous! The service was also very good. I gave this restaurant 4 stars ONLY because of the physical quality of the restaurant. It could stand a bit of an upgrade. BUT don't let that stop you from enjoying the great food! I will definitely go again if I'm in the area.
