India Palace Restaurant , West Timperley in Trafford

Be warned that the Indian Palace, formerly Spice, is going through another transition and is currently shut while being refitted (Nov 27th, 2024). Signs on the windows say it will be reopening soon as the "House or Biryanis and Kebabs". I hope it still servers restaurant style and isn't just a franchise clone... Below is from 2003. Ate here the other day with the kids as a group of 3. We were well looked after by the main waiter who recommended the prawns which were fresh that day. Had the prawns for starters, a biryani, and two curries along with a couple of naan and some rice. The lamb in the curries and biryani was some of the tenderest I've had in the UK - will be back for more of that! Good portion sizes, including the plain rice, though a few more poppadom bits on the poppadom and chutney starters would be good. After trying curry houses in Timperley Village and The India Palace in West Timperley (on Manchester Road), the India Palace deserves many more return visits.

food only warm and curry quite salty

Stuffy place with a wide variety of weird smells. Lazy and lack luster staff. And to top it all the restaurant seems to be functioning with just 1 wait staff and 1 chef.

Great taste. Great service. You will get the actual taste of India. Really loved it....❤️

So tasty food!! Hakka noodles have amazing the taste of Indian street side noodle counters, giving the feel of Desi food. Lamb biryani is perfectly ccoked

Really loved the food and the service was great as well. The way they treat customers is so nice especially Joseph.

We spent over £300 and was promised free drinks for everyone from management, they didn’t honour this. Food was mediocre and salty, avoid. Much better places elsewhere. Slow service and over priced. Avoid avoid avoid

Absolutely amazing restaurant with exceptional service!!!! So friendly and helpful staff, food is so nice and full of flavours. Being Indian myself, I never liked Indian restaurants food. But this Indian restaurant is another level. So nice that the words can’t describe. You must go and try the food.

Food is excellent quality, service is also excellent and price point good. Would recommend

The staff here are lovely and the food is the best Indian I have had in a long time. Our party of 3 all enjoyed the poppadoms and dips lovely and crunchy. The veg samosas were lovely and spicy. We all had Rogan Josh the veggie was lovely and spicy and the guys loved the lamb Rogan Josh. The naan breads too were lovely will deffo return and even a cheeky delivery is on the cards. The atmosphere probably just a Wednesday night think but do love to hear background music at all times.

The Indian food here has very mild flavors and is definitely not worth the price. The portions are also quite small for what we paid. We only received three tandoori prawns and three lamb chops, which is very little considering the cost. The lamb chops were dry and chewy, and the mushroom rice tasted like plain rice mixed with a tomato sauce. The sweet lassi was awful, resembling sugar water, and the papadams were soft instead of crunchy. It seemed like they served food that was prepared earlier in the day. Additionally, everything was served cold. We ended up paying £150 in total, which was not worth it at all.

Tasty food. Chef is really good. We had Veg Thalis and My child had Non veg item. All liked the food. Great background Bollywwod songs. Polite staff. Great experience.

Excellent food, really tasty and full of flavour. Great service from Joseph, who makes the dining experience very enjoyable. He is a real asset, providing advice and recommendations and looking after all customers.

Really tasty, fresh, authentic Indian food served with a smile! Well worth a visit as the flavours are exceptional.

One of the best Indian restaurants for North Indian cuisine in and around Altrincham area. Have been here multiple times and have not been disappointed so far. Staff is cordial and very welcoming. Taste of food is authentic. Yet to try non vegetarian cuisine here but very very pleased with the vegetarian food. :)

Food was delivered on time and was always hot. That is where the positives end, the curry was bland and not at all spicey. The rice tasted like microwave packet rice. The trio of chicken was three stingey pieces of chicken. Very very poor.

Best Indian food I had in a while. The taste was soo close to what i have in my home back. Spice levels were perfect. A must try

The hotel and food is so nice , Mr Joseph he is so nice in dealing the customers . Highly recommended

We visited this restaurant on a rare trip away after reading many positive reviews. We were treated to one of the best Indian dining experiences we have ever had. The staff were very friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful. The food was utterly exceptional, and authentic; no lazy curry here! Each dish had a specific flavour profile and was totally delicious. Highlights for me were the Gunpowder potatoes and the Chicken Biryani (see pics). The portions were generous and really good value for money - not cheap, but really good food never is. My only quibble is something the restaurant cannot do anything about; I live too far away and can’t make it my ‘local’. Exceptional!!

Top quality food, great prices, amazing service.

Try chicken biryani’s and chicken tika ، The prices are very low for the quantity and the food is amazing and people are so friendly

First time, so we ordered a takeaway. Service was lightening quick and the food was 'as good as it gets'. In fact it was probably the best takeaway food we have had from any local Indian restaurant for a long time. 4 stars instead of 5, because you are slightly overpriced and considerably more expensive than your very local competition for life-for-like dishes. There was no salad with the onion bhaji's also. However you could argue that the extra cost maybe worth it for a overall better tasting meal. We will certainly try a sit-down in the restaurant at some point. Well done.

Always been really happy with the quality of the food and service whether eating in or getting take away. Great variety of dishes on the menu and super tasty.

Friday night curry, first for a long time. The place was empty which made us worried, but honestly the food and service were faultless. The wife had a Dall with a cheeky chicken tikka starter alongside it at the same time. I had the Aloo Gosht and an Onion Bhaji starter. The spud and lamb were cooked to perfection and the portions were good too. Similarly the dall was excellent. They understood our bizarre ordering system and everything came just as we wanted it when we wanted it. The decor didn't work for us, but the food and service more than made up for it. Authentic feeling North Indian cuisine. We'll be back.

Absolutely delicious! My Wife and I went for our anniversary dinner on Monday. The gentleman serving us was extremely attentive and friendly and always around for anything we needed. The food was delicious, portions were very generous and a huge range of choice, definitely something there for everyone! Will happily go back there again and again! We had onion bajis chicken trio pilau rice basmati rice poppadoms butter chicken Peshwari naan

Good food...friendly staff...will go back again

Fantastic food. Great staff. There were 6 of us and we had a wonderful time Many thanks Chan

The food was amazing and so was the service

Absolutely amazing food. Very tasty! Highly recommended! Everyone was super friendly!

Food tastes good but service is too worst. Main dish served exactly after 1hr 10min from the order. When asked, the responses are arrogant.

The food and service was great 👍 authentic taste. Quantity could have been more but worth visiting this place.

It's a very good restaurant. The service is also very nice...they are very professional and do there best to satisfy the customer. we like to eat some real Indian tasty food and not a modified version....India palace always makes sure that we get to eat authentic Indian food. The owner is a very nice person . Whenever I have any party at my house I would place the food order with India palace and they deliver just delicious food with starters and desert just as ordered and on time. The price is reasonable. I would rate it 5 star .

Came for a birthday meal excellent food and service would definitely recommend a visit 😊

The food was lovely, service really friendly. I would definitely recommend, date night or large party!

India Palace is an excellent restaurant. Very authentic Indian food, clean, affordable and a pleasant atmosphere. Excellent for families and group. I have been there twice now and very pleased both times. Authentic Indian restaurants are hard to find, but very glad that we have one right here in Timperley.

Excellent service and food. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and quickly offered drinks. The food menu was really interesting which combined some traditional dishes with those I had not heard of before. We were a table of 3 and everyone loved all starters and main courses - we even ordered a Takeway for my daughters boyfriend as he couldn’t make it and we didn’t want him to miss out! Our first visit, but certainly not the last!

Quality of food needs improvement, ordered items were not up to the mark though atmosphere was good.

We've visited India Palace a few times now and have never been disappointed. The food is really flavoursome and the staff are excellent. It's the best indian restaurant around.

When you know Indians are ordering from this place, you know it's going to be the best! We ordered simple chicken karahi, tharka daal, naan. It was really good quality! Thank you for your services.

Amazing take away last night . First time from the Palace. Efficient delivery and food was excellent . Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi. Much better than the others I have tried over the last few years. Thank you . We will be ordering again!

Perfect place for "authentic" Indian cuisine. Value for money and with quick service. Parking available for few cars.

had my daughter's 16 birthday party here. Food was excellent. Service was superb. Everyone was very cooperative.

Undoubtedly the best Indian restaurant in Sale, Manchester! From the moment you step in, the warm ambiance and attentive staff set the stage for an amazing dining experience. The menu is a culinary journey through authentic Indian flavors, with each dish a delightful masterpiece. Generous portions, a diverse menu, and impeccable service make this spot a must-visit for anyone craving top-notch Indian cuisine. Highly recommended!

Great place, on delivery and eat-in. We live local and have eaten delivery many times. Ate in a couple times now and not been disappointed either time. Most recent we were hungover and ordered the pani poori, butter chicken, chicken tikka, pilau rice and garlic naan. Everything was spot on and setvice was friendly and attentive. They also have a great lunch street food menu. 10/10 would recommend 👍🏻

Food was excellent and felt like I was in Hyderabad. Best staff and service.

Lovely staff, very welcoming and always on hand. Been looking for a nice Indian locally and this was such a good experience. Food excellent. Went for a Lamb Rogan Josh and Chick Balti with sides. Really nice. Even managed to persuade the chef to consider making a legendary (and rare) white Jalfrezi next time we visit.. emailing the recipes over so one to watch out for on the menu.. hopefully 🤞

The food is the best here.. more than the food I must say about the service.... Joseph and Kasi has given the best service of my life time... Joseph suggested me the fish Mango curry and it was the best... a must visit place....

Wonderful food and best service ever in altrincham... Joseph was very helpful and friendly.... thank you so much for the wonderful suggestion on food

It was an amazing experience both the times when we visited the restaurant. The first ever Indian restaurant with authentic indian food. Absolutely loved the service, the food, and the atmosphere. It's a must recommended place from my end. especially my favourite "prawn chilli."

Service was really poor. 2 staff on. We asked for a red wine and were given white. The starter platter was FAR too spicy. We ordered a lamb rogan josh for main and it tasted and smelt like beef in gravy!! So so disappointed. The staff were not very accommodating with our complaint. Very disappointing for a valentines night meal. Sorry India Palace!

It's amazing place to eat. Very authentic Indian food. Amazing chef and food with great hospitality from front of house staff Kazi and Joseph. I would rate a 10 in terms of authentic Indian food. Would suggest everyone to try if you are looking for Indian food.

Good food, good ambience and good hospitality. The chef also customised food as per our requirements. W elso do takeaways..always yummm

Properly tasty and spicy Indian curry! The garlic naan and Paratha were authentic and tasty.

Went with a group of friends last night and the meal was excellent - we had mixed veg & non-veg starters then Lamb Kudai which was very tasty and spicy. Service was great, staff here are very friendly and helpful and I considered the meal and drinks to be good value for money. Will definitely be going back soon!

Perfect food and the best service! 🤍

Lovely place to have a dining experience. Food is also very good

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant in Manchester on Washway Road. The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing with authentic Indian cuisine it offered prepared by a fantastic Indian chef and everything we tasted was delicious. Absolutely the best Indian meal we had while ever in India Palace Restaurant. I have tried many Indian restaurants but this one is my favorite. Highly recommend!

Been in several times now, always been great food and really friendly staff. Highly recommend it here.

Came on a Sunday evening with a warm welcome. We ordered 2 starters that were recommended to us, tandoori prawns and lamb chops , tasted amazing!! The mains were full of flavour and plentiful. All staff really helpful and attentive. We will return

We had a lovely family meal and everything was amazing friendly staff and fast service Delicious food Highly recommended

Glad to find an absolute gem of a Indian restaurant locally. Have ordered Take away few times. Food is amazing, can't wait to visit to the restaurant soon with family. Well done India Palace.

The best lamb madras I've ever had, gunpowder potatoes are something else and tandoori lamb chops were spot on, great beers, great service, was our first visit but definitely won't be our last

Had a really tasty dinner while on work trip in the area. Great service, really friendly staff, the owner came to me to ask if everything was ok. Highly recommend.

Excellent good, freshly prepared. Owners are friendly and welcoming. Paneer tikka, veg Manchurian and tangdi kebab are my fav

Its hard to find an authentic Indian restaurant. Indian Palace serves food which is really authentic. Non veg starters which I tried is delicious especially the sea food platter. Service is good and ambience is nice. Will highly recommend to visit.

Had heard this was a decent Indian. Ordered a take out and at first glance was pleased to see that the curries weren’t multi coloured which is usually a good sign. However. Bang average curry, they appear to be made from the same base curry and was best described as bland. Eg. The Jalfrezi was absent of visible ingredients such as tomato coriander and chilli. There are better alternatives locally at their prices. Disappointed and unfortunately cannot recommend. .

A lovely first visit after many personal recommendations, and we were not disappointed! The freshly made garlic naan best in the area. The service was very attentive and nothing too much trouble. We will be back!

very good lamb saag. will definitely be back

Good food, nice ambience and considerate staff

Unexpectedly, fabulous food. Everything was authentic and very pleased to have dropped by. very good service.

We chose this restaurant as it was local and had excellent reviews. Despite a warm welcome and pleasant surroundings, the food and experience was poor. I suppose the menu was a give away, with descriptions of food being inaccurate and inaccurate pricing. Our party of 4 all ordered onion bhaji, all of which were served frozen in the middle. These were replaced, but with no explanation or apology. The main courses were served warm at best, one chicken dish being completely cold and had to be reheated. The sizzling chicken dish ordered turned out to be a chicken steerer, as they had no sizzling platters …. At no point did anyone come to check if out food was OK, having to call on staff to point out issues. Our bill came to £113 and I offered to pay £80, which I thought was reasonable in the circumstances. The manager disputed this, pointing out that the sub standard food was replaced. He didn’t seem to grasp the poor level of overall service. He told me he had never had a complaint before, which seems unlikely given their current 3 level score from the food hygiene agency. The manager reluctantly agreed to accept £80, but no apology whatsoever. I appreciate this may be an unfortunate one off, but certainly not fresh food being served and lack of customer service on our visit.

Delicious food, friendly staff!

2nd time ordering from here, was missing an item the first time but the food was good so decided to give it another try, missing items again, rang and was told would be 10 mins for the item, 50 minutes later and several calls it arrived. The rest of the food was ruined by this time so had to order something else. A real shame as the food is really good

Food is good but chef loves salt, excessive in every dish especially Manchurian. Laccha parantha was not cooked properly.yiu can taste raw flour. Could have made dishes more spicy Starters were good but mains in vegetarian was not up to standard. May go again but no promises

New favourite local Indian restaurant India palace on Manchester road Chicken Saagwala, gunpowder potatoes, tandoori broccoli, pilau rice and crispy garlic Nan plus we had onion bhaji that are that delicious they didn’t make the photos 🤷‍♂️😂😂 apparently one of the chefs is ex dishoom hence some of the magic in the dishes. Also great value for money 😋😋

Very average at best. Glad I wasn't paying. Forgot at least three items from our order and we were eating in!

Food was really tasty and everything was freshly prepared. Very good ambience. Staff Joseph was very friendly and helpful. Overall really good experience.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Each time we go we enjoy our meal. Staff are always friendly. Would definitely recommend

Have been here few times now but I must say every time I have been to this place it has always exceeded my expectations. I would say if you are craving for indo Chinese this is the place to go. And to my surprise the chef made us veg hot and sour soup which was as good as we get in India. Excellent food and very helpful staff . Great service

Good food. But service is so slow since there is only one person waiting on all the tables.

Excellent food and service. Only downfall was the toilets (there were a lot of dead flies).

Excellent food, best Indian take away I’ve had for a long while. Very tasty

Great food, prompt friendly staff, I keep returning time and time again with different family members

Plenty of vegetarian options. Good Indian food.

We liked the food , It was very tasty. We orderd non veg platter, Panner tikka and Lamb chettinad and everything was tasty.Staff were very friendly. We would like to dine in again.

The taste of this food helped me to teleport to my home country❤️

Absolutely first class , first visit , food spectacular, service first class, a real gem of a restaurant. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Me and my daughter will be coming back 100%

Wow amazing food it was delicious and we will be back very soon, our new favourite Indian restaurant, highly recommend for anyone wanting authentic Indian food. The only moan I have it that there was no ice in our drinks, as ice cold drinks are what you need when having a curry, but everything else was perfect.

What an absolute gem 💎 of a restaurant. The only place we come now when we want to eat out. Food is so amazing we always order more dishes than we can eat, just to take them home for the next day. Staff superb service Chef's are very very talented. Highest standards of food and service.

My favourite place for family gathering meals :) Guaranteed delicious Indian food and friendly service My favourite dishes are the lamb briyani, Aloo Ghst and cheese naan 🩷 Poppadoms and their sauces are so delightful as well🔥🔥🔥

Good food nice service very polite and friendly!

Best chicken tikka I've ever tasted!!!! Food always delicious here.

Excellent food as always, recommend Butter chicken or chicken chettinad if you prefer spice. Best Asian food in the area bar none.

Fantastic food! Bombay potato’s 10/10. Masala chips sexy. Samosa was gorgeous. Whole scran on point!

First time visiting and the place is as the reviews say - fantastic and delicious. Highly recommend non-veg platter as a starter (camera missed the plate!). Delicious and generous portions. Butter chicken, aloo gosht, tandoori roti, garlic naan, salty lassi, poppadoms and gulam jaman to finish. Recommend each dish. Really friendly team too.

Best Indian takeaway I’ve had in Manchester deserves 5 stars, very authentic great ingredients highly recommend

Food was very good. Service was OK but a bit slow and other customers had to alert them at times that we needed drinks, the bill, etc.

Small potions but tasty and good quality xx

Lovely meal, very welcoming and great service with very tasty food!
