Begum Palace

I keep coming back to this restaurant because the food is absolutely delicious. I like that they give you the option of choosing your spice level (some indian restaurants don't really honor that). The lamb i had from this place was so tender, the dal tadka absolutely delicious, appetizers are great...will definitely return always.

They have really great vegetarian options, maybe even vegan, not sure, and the decor is dazzling as it was Valentine's day themed. I got chicken tiki masala with garlic naan and I forgot the name of their tea. Everything was delicious 5/5 they did take their time cooking even though it wasn't busy the night I was there but the staff was friendly and they have us lentil chips with dip in the meantime. Overall a great hidden gem for great Indian food.

I went to Begum Palace in jan 2022 with my family. Very nice and cozy place for family dine-in. Many people order online/ on phone and take the pick up. Very nice indoor services, good food. They adjust the spice level for kids. My kids loved aloo tikki and are asking me to visit begum palace weekly. Definitely a must try place. I'm coming to you again soon! Maybe with colleagues, friends this time and kids again too. Thanks.

good Indian. Great flavor for all our dishes (Tikka Masala Chicken, Yellow Dal Tarka, Meat Lover Samosa's Platter, Chana-Masala, Saag-Paneer, mango lassies). Food is more sweet than spicy which isn’t my preference, but others enjoyed it. I’m always a little hesitant to order take out from a buffet because of freshness (and extra careful since COVID) but the flavor and freshness of the meats/veggies were good. Some specific feedback / FYI while ordering: 1. Rice is included with the meals, the menu isn’t clear on that so we ordered/paid for rice which wasn’t needed 2. Food delivery was quick, think more time was spent on the actual delivery (we like ~15 min from the restaurant but it also feeds into my concerns of eating from a buffet but good if you’re a bit impatient) 3. Food was Luke warm on delivery. Understand it’s winter but having my food made and delivered in 30 min I’d expect my food to be at least warm. 4. Food & drinks werewell packaged to prevent leaking. No straws were provided for Mango Lassies so it took some of the fun away from drinking it Notes on specific food items: FYI - rice was included with each meal (consolidated) & meals came in 1/2 packages 1. Tikka Masala Chicken - good flavor, right amount of chicken and sauce 2. Yellow Dal Tarka - good - more mushy than i think I’ve had in the past. Hints of sweetness in each bite 3. Meat Lover Samosa's Platter - good mix of non-vegetarian samosas. 2 Lamb, 1 Crab, 2 Chicken (literally just tikka chicken). They were a little cold but had good flavor. Was the first time i had a crab one and it was tasty if you like crab. 4. Chana-Masala - good. Chickpeas were well cooked, if you prefer them a little softer suggest reheating them (but again, my food was Luke warm). It had something sweet in there (i think it was mango chutney) which gave it a nice bite. Again, i prefer things a little spicy so i didn’t love this compared to other places 5. Saag-Paneer - good, standard saag paneer 6. mango lassies - standard mango lassie, request straws if you don’t have any at home 7. Garlic Naan - standard naan. It wasn’t warm so had to reheat

Simply outstanding. I’m a huge critic of Indian cuisine and Begum Palace knocked it out of the park. I absolutely love two dishes: Channa masala and Aloo Gobi. They were both among the best I have ever had in North America. The others in my part loved the naan, I didn’t try it. Oh, the samosas were outstanding as well. I never rate samosas highly as they are often boring. These were great! We ordered takeout and they were right on time. I brought it home and everything traveled well. I highly recommend Begum Palace.
