Stopped in to get an early (5pm) vegetarian meal, and got way more. I started with the veggie samosa, which were great. I moved on to the Gobi Makhani (spicy), and was not disappointed. I also ordered the lemon chutney, which was fresh. It was bright and a little sour, and I loved it. I then asked for mango chutney to try and it was smooth and sweet. I was really impressed with the food, and the stories about how they use traditional family recipes. If you like Indian food, and are in Cookeville, you should eat here! I’m impressed, and I’m glad to share my experience with everyone!

Very, very good Indian food. We came by for the lunch buffet- the saag, Chana, and vegetable korma were the standout dishes. Better than 90% of the Indian places in Nashville.

I live an hour and a half away from Cookeville Tennessee. When I do travel to Cookeville certainly make a point to eat at the India Palace restuarant. The owner does most all the cooking herself. The cuisine is more of the Punjabi style of Indian food. I love the food it is always incredible. She always makes sure that you have plenty of naan. It is buffet. I have never ordered anything from a menu. The price is very reasonable it was $15 for all you could eat. I lived in India some years back and have traveled back and forth several times. So I am always looking for any place with great Indian food. Sometimes I make the drive just for lunch.. you definitely will not regret making the stock to have a meal here.

The service was very friendly. It seemed like the same lady cooking the food was also the host, the server and the manager.

Loved this place! Lovely ambiance and the food was delicious – she prepared it for us with our special needs (no garlic, no onion). Such love and care she put into the food!

Hmm. Hate to do this but I must say that this was probably the worst Indian food I’ve ever eaten. I don’t get all the positive reviews. My chicken dish was the color of a stop sign. The chicken pieces were cubed and a weird consistency. It just wasn’t good. Totally inedible. The place itself is filthy too. Grime everywhere. They really need to clean. What a disappointment…..I’d pass on this one.

I stumbled across this restaurant while in town for the night for work. So glad I did! Felt totally comfortable and welcome as a lone diner, asked for a recommendation between two dishes and was not disappointed. I’ve eaten quite a bit of Indian food and this ranked among the top. Especially the garlic naan hot from the stove. Yum! Great value for the amount of food you receive as well. I easily have enough leftovers for 2 more meals!

The service is absolutely amazing, second to none! The food is so tasty, much better than Persis Indian Grill!! The woman that helped us was so kind and friendly! Everyone should eat here, just for the delicious food, and on top of that service is Five Star!!! Definitely going back every time I’m in Cookeville!!! Try this place out and support the local community!
