We've been here twice in one week because we really like the food. Family run business and they are all so friendly and helpful with the menu and checking on you regularly. Older interior but kept clean.

Celiac Foodie: Wow! Food is so good, seasoned very well and perfect portions. The Mango Ice Cream is delicious, sweet and fruity. We ordered 2 chicken and 1 Beef dish- all delicious and mouth watering. Simple service, waitress was quick and diligent. Indian music, Indian TV shows playing, Indian decorations and pictures on the wall. Overall worth dining at and experiencing the food. No illness after consuming the meal. Happy Dining!

Family-owned, friendly service plus delicious, authentic Indian food. Although I've only ordered takeout or delivery due to COVID-19 (during which my friend suggested this place to me), one time I stopped in for a takeout order and the owner & his wife were busy cooking in the back while the kiddos were doing their homework at a table in the front. It was so charming, and they were so kind. I've made a point to support them in hopes that they'd make it through the pandemic without having to close, and thankfully they did! The food is fragrant, mouthwatering, and delicious. I usually order lamb korma (lamb in cashew sauce) - forgive me, vegetarians/vegans/animal rights activists - but it's so tasty! However, there are SO many non-meat options as well, including my favorite: aloo gobi, which is potatoes and cauliflower in a lightly spiced masala sauce. It's *chef's kiss* perfect! And of course, don't forget an extra order of the garlic naan (bread) because you'll want to devour it all by yourself. It's that good.

Wanted to try something different and ended up here. Absolutely loved the food! We had the Mango Lassi & the Sweet Lassi and I definitely recommend the Mango if you want something sweeter. We tried 4 dishes, the Buttered Shrimp, Chicken Curry, Baingan Bhartha, Lamb Vindaloo & the Garlic Naan. All the dishes were delicious and the Naan was amazing !The heat index is low so if you want spicy I would recommend choosing between the 8-10 for spice. The restaurant has Indian decor and we watched a cool game of Cricket with our dinner. The staff was very attentive and pleasant to deal with. My husband and I will definitely be coming back!

We've been getting takeout from Pal's for years. I hope they are reading these reviews, as it could NOT be more offensive to have the "vaxxed" restriction signs up. What are we, an untouchable class? Can we be done with the fear and panic yet? Do your vaxxes protect you or don't they? Do we have freedom and medical privacy in this country? Now given that, it should speak to how much we love their food that... well we keep getting takeout anyway. Okay, treat us like third-class citizens, like we're diseased and the lowest caste in India's infamous caste system... but we still want your butter chicken, palak paneer, and papadams. Call it an olive branch from the unvaxxed to the vaxxed. We can find common ground on this delicious food. Oh if you order papadams, you'd better double-check that they gave you chutney. We've been shorted more times than I can count, but that's an easy fix if you just ask for chutney every single time. Earn your last star back, Pals! Drop the offensive, invasive vaxx garbage, and for the love of Pete, don't forget the chutney!

Pal's is hands down our favorite Indian place and is one of the rare places where the takeout option matches the in-person quality. In person experience is relaxed and comfortable. Indian tv and music plays with an authentic decor. The food is superb. This time around I did Paneer Masala with some naan and by jove it was delicious! Be wary of the heat index because I like spicy and 6 is my precipice of enjoyment at Pal's or else I'm dying from the spice!! Everything is expertly made and so delicious. The portions will make you feel good and stuffed. I highly recommend Pal's to any Indian food fan or to anyone looking for a new experience. The staff is also exceptionally kind and respectful!

So I've seen on Yelp that Pal's is a really great Indian restaurant and one of the best in city. So my friends and I went to go and try it out. And to be honest I really loved it here and would definitely come again to try more food! Let's discuss! Here is the elephant in the room that I'm going to have to bring up for the purpose of this review (for the time as of this review being published anyway) is the fact that they ask if your vaccinated in order to eat inside and some folks might have a problem with it. But since my friends and I are fully vaxed we didn't have any issues eating in, but I just wanted to bring this up for anyone wanting to eat inside the restaurant. You can always do carry out or delivery as well, so they have other options. But I suggest not shying away from trying this place though, as I'll explain in this review. Now on to the food. I've always wanted to try a Mango Lassi and I gotta say I really liked it. It's like a sweet but sour yogurt drink with mango in it and it was honestly really good. I've heard the Salty Lassi is really good so I'll try that next time. Some might think it's a bit strange but if you haven't tried it I genuinely recommend it. I'm not a huge fan of sweet drinks with my dinner so I'm not sure if I'll get it again but it's just my overall preference. It gets a rating of an 9/10 from me. Highly recommend! There were so many things to order, but I was craving some Butter Chicken that night and did they deliver! The sauce was pretty much perfect. It was so rich and silky smooth and the spices were amazing. It isn't a spicy dish but I thought it was perfect. The chicken was pretty good quality as well, but I think I'll try the Butter Goat next time! The sauce was the star of the show by far. Overall an 8/10 and I really recommend it! The service was pretty good as well and everyone was pretty nice and friendly. They were a bit busy with to go orders that day, but they still friendly nonetheless! Overall I really recommend this place. I still want to try other dishes since I really enjoy Northern Indian cuisine, but for now with what I've tried I really liked it. I really recommend Pal's Indian Cuisine and I hope folks can give this place a go, whether it's take out or dine in!

This place is a no frills, family run slice of Indian deliciousness. They are so friendly and serve up super flavorful, well portioned dishes. Take some time to review the large menu. The traditional dishes are great but some of the less known options we've tried have been phenomenal.
