I visited this restaurant for the first time with a couple of friends. We liked the buffet and everything was cooked well. A bit spicy than usual but then I can deal with it. Unfortunately, the decor is mediocre at best, and the ambiance is lacking.

We have enjoyed their daily buffet several times and did again on 10-24-2009.

It is a homey family run restaurant with good food.  It is spiced more so than other Indian restaurants in Bakersfield but that suits us fine.   The Chicken Tikka Masala is excellent, the Naan is thinner and crispier than others, but it is good.  The vegetable dishes were very good especially the Zucchini. They served a goat dish which we have never had before. Interesting! The rice pudding here is not as runny as others and has a nice taste.

They have separated the dining area from the bar and it is much nicer than before.

Service is good and you will enjoy a nice meal at the Indian Delhi Palace.

We found this restaurant on our way back to San Jose from LA and I looked up this restaurant on my phone. Looked like everyone liked the service and the owner "Paul".

We found this restaurant on our way back to San Jose from LA and I looked up this restaurant on my phone. Looked like everyone liked the service and the owner "Paul".

When we walked in for lunch buffet on Sunday, the dishes there were a joke! Three cold curries and dried up gulabjamuns -  and all that Paul did was chat us up, big time.

When Paul learnt that we were not locals, he charged us 11.95 for the buffet per person. We thought it was waaay tooo expensive but we didn't have a choice so we just paid. AHowever, as soon as we stepped out we saw a sign on the other end of the street that said the buffet here was $7.95. I swear I have never felt so cheated in my life. My husband wanted to go back and confront him but with two (fussy) kids in tow, we just let it be.  

To summarize it, the food was horrible, the service was pathetic and in the end we were cheated. The only good (to the extent of annoying) part was Paul chatting us up and telling all that he was planning to do for the restaurant. Well dude, if you will continue to cheat ur customers like this, you ain't gonna get nowhere.

I'd die of hunger than stop at this place again. I am going to LA again this week and on my way back will definitely stop at the more reliable and better reviewed Taj Mahal of India.

I've eaten here a few times, and every time, the food has been spot-on.  I tried the buffet for the first time this week, and for a very reasonable $7, you are invited to a number of items, all of which are tasty.  I'm not sure if the naan was included with the buffet, but they kept bringing it.  By the way, the naan is really, really good.

If you are going to order off the menu, I'd order anything that has mushrooms in it.  I don't know where they get their mushrooms, but they are the most delectable mushrooms I've ever eaten.  Furthermore, my water glass was never empty--a sure sign of attentive service.
