India Palace has become marginally more palatial with a move to larger quarters.

If it weren’t for the fact that much Indian food seems to hold well over steam, we’d be just as happy to see buffets banished; they’re often nothing more than exercises in gluttony. Nevertheless, India Palace’s siren song of steam and samosas manages to seduce diners at all hours. And now that it's moved to larger digs in the same center, the pretty-in-pink décor has its own appeal as well. Most of the buffet items sampled impress, however, seeming tamed-down just as the environment has been ratcheted up. Yet straight from the kitchen, flaky fish tandoori, served sizzling and spitting on a cast iron platter, flaunts its yogurt-and-spice crust, while saucy lamb vindaloo is strictly for initiates. For the more cautious palate, consider chicken korma with its mellow blend of cream, cashews, pistachios and dried cherries. A dish of frozen mango malwa caps a meal nicely. Avoid the pallid pistachio ice cream, however.
