India Palace

I am not an expert on the various cuisines of India. I am sure there are many restaurants featuring Indian and other Asian foods that are much more authentic than India Palace in Roseville, Minnesota. But I have always enjoyed the lunch buffet (a great way to experience any food you are not familiar with), so when a friend recently invited us for dinner there, I was excited to try it.

India Palace features three options on their Dinner For Two menu. Our friend swore that by "Two" they mean "at least four" and he was right. We ordered the Tandoori and the Biryiani dinners, and our table resembled a Medieval Feast fit for a king. Let the gluteny commence!




I would love to explain exactly what we had, but as you can see, I was lost in the madness of it all. All you need to know is it was all very, very good. Stand outs were the robustly flavored sausage on the tandoori plate, the peshawari naan (a sweet naan with raisins and nuts), the kulfi ice cream made with pistachios, and the subtle chai tea.
