Kamal Palace

We eat Indian at least twice a week & hands down this is the best. We drive for more than 45 min to come here & it’s worth the price of gas:. My husband is a chicken tikka masala devotee & has eaten it from London & Amsterdam to NY/​NJ with nobody comparing to Kamal. Kudos to the Sunday buffet!

Amazing!!! The flavor in the dishes were over the top! I can’t wait to order again. I had the dish for one — veg. It was so good, I had never had any of those dishes and It tastes divine. I also had the samosas veg and it was really good. I highly recommend this place!

This was my first time trying Indian food. I went with chicken kabob masala with naan and it was great! The staff was super nice and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Lamb Rogan Josh was excellent. Hard to find good Rogan Josh with the right combination of ingredients, but this was fantastic. Will definitely be coming back when in town.

Parking is tight in this strip mall, but you can likely find parking on the street if it’s busy. Restaurant is clean, quiet, and nicely decorated. Staff eager to please. Food says it all. Loved both the veggie and lamb Samosas. We had the Bayngan Bhurta (eggplant) and the Lamb Madras… with very good basmati rice!
While we went there for dinner on a Saturday night, they have buffet times offered too… something we’ll try another time.
It would also appear, they have quite the take out business too.

Ordered for the first time yesterday evening. Order included a couple of veg items and chicken tangri for appetizer. Following is the summary:
* Chicken pieces were good in flavor but meat was nowhere as tender as it should be.
* Shahi paneer dish was reasonably good, though nothing memorable.
* Veg makhanwala was mediocre at best.
* Samosas were, again, mediocre at best (filling seemed to resemble dosa potato stuffing more than that of Punjabi samosa).
This is the type of quality I may expect in a not-​as-​expensive lunch buffet, but for a la carte prices, the overall quality was pretty disappointing.

The all-​you-​can-​eat buffet is satisfying. It’s not as elaborate as some other Indian restaurants but that’s okay. After taxes and before tip, it’s $ 12.82 per person — a price that’s hard to beat. Everything savory was tasty. Wasn’t crazy about the dessert sampler; too sweet and not sure what I was eating.
There’s also a takeout menu. Service is friendly and very efficient. The restaurant made for a nice, quite stop for lunch.

I’ve been waiting to try an Indian restaurant in the area and Kamal Palace has been on my watch list.
We had some friends over for dinner and decided to do takeout instead of going out. While not too crazy, we placed a fairly large order of meat samosas, two orders of garlic naan, three orders of chicken tikka masala, an order of tandoori chicken, an order of lamb jogan rosh, an order of lamb biryani, and a mango lassi.
One nice thing off the bat, easy to place the order and the order would only take 25 minutes. I was also asked how spicy I would like everything. Good stuff. We arrived and the order was ready. Prices seemed pretty accurate to their website.
We got the food home and it was very good. Spice was on the mark. My friends had wanted mild, I went medium, and I thought they did well. Each of the «entrees» came in a pint takeout container. I felt there maybe could have been a little more meat with the containers of tikka and jogan rosh. A lot of sauce… Delicious, but a lot of sauce. Maybe for the price, which isn’t too bad, there could be more meat per serving. Plenty of white rice and the garlic naan was perfect. Samosas were stuffed, outside a little crunchier than I prefer, but that’s only a little personal preference.
Overall, I thought it was a very good Indian restaurant where if like to give the buffet a try sometime.

The food is fine. A little bland for my taste but whatever. Lunch buffet is $ 10. It’s a good spot if you don’t want to head into JC or Hoboken. I would give them 3.5 stars to be accurate.
Watch out though — they have essentially zero ventilation. You will reek of masala smells. Better wear clothing you expect to wash immediately.

Great Indian food… friendly staff but the food is deee-​lish. I stopped there after trying a very popular place in RIDGEWOOD and this place was just as good. Check it out!

I had the lunch buffet on the weekend and arrived towards the end of the service so the place was pretty empty. The service was excellent and the food was hot and quickly replenished when other dinners came in. I found their sauces to be a little too rich and heavy for my taste but everything was fresh. The quality of the ingredients was nice. I would have liked a few more dish choices, like another flavored rice option. I did love their chicken meatballs and I enjoyed the samosas and chutney.

I’ve been trying to take my girlfriend to an Indian buffet for a while and I finally remembered about it around new year. I was in the area for Christmas, hanging out with family so I decided to take my brother with me. This was the place with the highest reviews in the area, so why not?
When we got here about an hour before the end of buffet service, the dishes were rather low on stock. I don’t know if that’s typical (I don’t believe it is), but they did keep refilling the buffet trays a little at a time, as stock got lower and lower. Sadly, the selection here was rather limited. I don’t remember everything they had, but I did remember finding the corn saag odd. The naan that they brought to the table though — that was fresh, warm, and delicious. That was the highlight of the meal. Aside from that, I remember the chicken tikka masala being a bit more tomato-​ey than I’m used to; it wasn’t bad — just different.
I’ve definitely been to better Indian places, but I given the other options in the area (not much), it’s not too bad.

Wonderful experience! My fiancé and I were in the mood for authentic Indian and this place delivered 100%. Staff was very friendly and helpful in choosing from the extensive menu. Food was flavorful, fresh and spices were on-​point. The Garlic Naan was out of this world! And the lamb was tender and delicious. BYOB makes this place a go-​to local spot for great Indian cuisine. We will be returning!

This restaurant is very close to where I live. Hence we have explored it many times.
Their lunch buffet is pretty good.
Friendly staff, good food, good portions.
I recommend this place.

My new favorite Indian buffet in the area. Everything they had was excellent. I had stuffed myself by forcing down a third plate’s worth. The food was very fresh, and mostly very traditional.
They did have at least 3 vegetable curries available. Unfortunately, that meant only one meat curry. It was chicken tikka, and there were definitely no complaints about the dish itself.
The chicken tandoori was the best I’ve had at any Indian restaurant to date. They did just bring it out, so that definitely helps a lot. It was well seasoned and perfectly tender. I was hesitant to try it at first since I generally have bad experiences with chicken tandoori at Indian buffets. However, after having the one piece I initially took, I grabbed 3 more.
Their naan was also one of the better naans I had. It was considerably crustier than traditional naan, but the flavor was great and the texture was still light enough to enjoy as I usually do — with curry and rice.
They also had an array of pakora; one of which was some sort of spicy chili. I really appreciated that. I wish I had room for more.
The service was also excellent. Soft spoken, polite, and they mostly left the dining area when they weren’t busy. They had a knack for taking away my plates as soon as I went up for another round.

Ordered take out from here tonight. Ok food tasty but nothing spectacular. We were a little suprised at the bill as we ordered from the online menu and were charged $ 4 more than what the menu states. Ordered veggie samosas, naan bread, roti naan, spinach and mushroom sag and chicken jalfrezi. All ok tasting, the chicken jalfrezi was a little too creamy for my taste and the spinach mushroom sag was also too creamy. Overall average dinner.

Here for a local class and tried lunch. .my review covers just vegetarian food… options are limited but good for vegetatian… definitely worth visit for their Naan and paneer masala… fresh and best Naan in NJ

Can never go wrong here. Food is fresh and as spicy as you like. The host and waiters are always attentive. BYOB.

My favorite Indian restaurant outside of J.C./NYC. You can’t go wrong with the Aloo Gobi w. roti bread.
This place is busy all of the time with all different kinds of people.
The prices are very reasonable and the servers are very friendly.
I’ve also ordered take-​out with zero issues.

It’s a funny thing… When my GF or I are sick, our go-​to comfort food is… Indian. Neither of us is even close to Indian. We’re so Caucasian, we’re practically see through. Something about curry that just opens up the blood vessels and makes you feel so much better!
So it was on a recent night that my GF was down for the count with a nasty cold, and it was up to me to find our new favorite Indian restaurant in our new home, NJ.
Thanks to Unilocal,I found Kamal Palace.
First, KP is foremost an Indian Buffet. I have never seen an Indian buffet before, but I love the idea. I can’t comment on the buffet food, this review is for my Take-​Out Experience.
I went through the menu online, and ordered a massive, cold-​killing amount of food. Lamb Korma, Chicken Saagwalla, Garlic Naan, Raita, Meat Samosas, Mango Lassi. When I arrived, I decided to add some chicken Soup, too.
The owner of the Palace, Kamal, was manning the door. Well dressed, friendly, he was great. I especially like that as the owner, he isn’t afraid to run around, snag empty plates, refill water glasses, etc. I have a ton of respect for this in a business owner. His staff stays busy as well.
My order was ready when I arrived, except, of course, for the chicken soup that I ordered when I got there. I sat down to wait, and they offered me a glass of water. Nice touch. Great hospitality.
It only took a few minutes for the soup to be added, and I was off to go home.
Food: We ordered everything spiced «Medium», and it was great. Spicy, but not firey. If you’re not an Indian regular, start with mild. We had made some special requests, and they were perfect.
The Saag was excellent. Great flavor, well spiced. The dumplings were great. Being nit-​picky, the Korma was not the best I’ve had. It was very good, but it didn’t seem to have nuts in it, and they don’t use raisins. I’m guessing this is a different version than the Indian food I am accustomed to elsewhere, so I am not taking any points off for that. Not bad, just different. The Lamb was very tender, and the flavor of the curry was excellent. The chutneys that came with the Naan were a little different than I am used to as well, but they were quite tasty!
The atmosphere was good. Indian pop music playing, not too loudly. There was a good crowd, but plenty of open tables. Fairly quiet.
Prices are perfectly reasonable. Entrees run between $ 12 and $ 16, depending on if you’re going vegetables, chicken, lamb, or seafood. The portion sizes are good. We ate well, and had plenty left over for the next day.
All in all, a great take-​out experience. We will be back! 5 Solid Stars!
