India Taj Palace in North San Antonio absolutely hit the spot for a Saturday late-lunch buffet. It’s the kind of classic Indian buffet you hope for—comforting “typical Indian fare,” but done well, with a lot of vegetarian options. My favorites were the dal makhani (rich, creamy, and full of that slow-cooked flavor) and the mixed vegetable—perfectly spiced and super satisfying. The veggie pulao was another standout: tasty, hot, and genuinely fresh, not like it had been sitting around. And the real star for me was the butter naan—served hot and crispy, brushed with butter, and I swear I caught a little cilantro on there too. Honestly, I could’ve eaten that naan by itself and been happy. If you’re in the mood for a relaxed Indian buffet with great vegetarian choices and a few dishes that seriously deliver, India Taj Palace is a must.
This is one of my favorite restaurants ever. It’s so comforting to walk into the amazing smell of Indian spices. The family that runs this restaurant are so sweet and seriously make some of the best Indian food in town. The buffet items are at a neutral spice but you can order from the menu and make things spicier. This is always my first stop when I come to San Antonio.
This is my favorite Indian restaurant. The food is consistently delicious. The prices are reasonable. They have a lunch and a dinner buffet where they bring you fresh naan bread. The people are friendly and it is at a good location. You can always specify the level of spice and the service is great.
Avoid this place at all costs! I had high expectations after seeing 4.2 ratings (at the time while writing this review) for India Taj Palace, but my experience was below average. The food was not as flavorful or fresh as I hoped — most dishes tasted reheated rather than freshly prepared. The naan was dry, chicken tikka was dry and hard and the curry lacked the rich spices typical of authentic Indian cuisine. Service was also quite slow, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy at the time. The staff were polite but seemed inattentive. The overall atmosphere felt a bit neglected.
Weekday lunch hour was pretty dull with no crowd. Ambiance needs a lot of improvements to make it look new and lively. Service was top notch and we got all the attention for the à la carte order we placed. The buffet was decent with some vegetarian dishes done better than others. I wish they covered the dishes to avoid the curry surfaces from drying up. Fresh naans (breads) served were the highlight as they were done just right. Overall a decent place to eat.
