I love love love authentic Indian food! I especially appreciate the owner for coming to our table to make sure all was well. He chatted with us for a while and brought out some mango ice cream for us to try!

Just passing through and decided to give Pal Indian Cuisine a try since we love Indian food. Pal was a terrific find with many traditional dishes. We had the Chana Masala with a side of naan. The naan was beautiful and crispy. The Chana Masala was wonderful, perfectly cooked, and just the right spice level for us. We like it spicy! (but not extra hot) The staff were super nice, quick, and happy to serve us. We highly recommend Pal Indian Cuisine if you like delicious food and friendly people.

The best Tandoori chicken I’ve ever had. Having recently returned from Malaysia and Thailand, my wife says it’s the best Indian food she’s ever had over all. I highly recommend the chicken saag. Lots of places can make a good tikka masala, but not many places can make chicken saag like Pal. You might end up waiting a little bit for dinner, but it’s because Pal makes it all himself.

Pal is THE REAL DEAL. If you love Indian food, you can’t go wrong with anything you order. He was a chef at my old company, and lines of 50 employees at a time would form for his station. I’m thrilled that he has his own restaurant, and that his food is as good as I remember. I’m not going to fault a busy restaurant owner on “atmosphere,” as this is likely primarily a take-out place. He’s doing what he can with sturdy paper plates. The staff will even bring your food out to you! Whatever you order... you HAVE to try the Gobhi Manchurian! You’ve never known cauliflower could knock it out of the park (and be spicy) until you’ve had that!

I had the chicken tikki marsala, tandoori chicken, and dal tarka (3 entree sampler for 19).. comes with those yummy sauces, rice pudding and naan! To say it was delicious is an understatement. Everything is exploding with flavor, and they are mindful explaining all the different levels of heat. I spicy, so there are no issues with that for me, though! There's also something to be said about eating in a chill, clean, and welcoming environment.. it seems to make already good food taste even better!! Add on a mango Lassi for a cool, sweet treat. It's like a creamy mango smoothie..

Loved the chickpea curry (I forgot its name in the menu). Only thing is that "medium" is hotter than Cheetos XXtra hot. Edit: In my second visit I got a sampler with chickpea, mango beef, and chicken tandoori. I was offered three sauces. Although they are delicious I didn't need them as the food was a delicious blast of flavor on its own. The best being the chicken tandoori. I was offered a rice pudding as dessert. It was pureed with some traces of grains. Although I prefer rice pudding mostly with whole rice grains I enjoyed its sweet clove flavor with a touch of ginger. This is a "must visit" in Topeka.

Amazing! The food is authentic, delicious and full of flavor. The service was great and we feel no need to search for a different Indian Food restaurant. This is our spot for Indian Food from now on.

I came here expecting “normal” Indian food, which is good and of varying quality....this was completely different and so much better!! I had the lamb tikka masala. It was phenomenal. The lamb was fall apart tender, the sauce was rich, smooth and full of flavor. Even had a conversation with the chef about various Northern Indian dishes and learned from him! Great place. Highly recommend. I’ll be back!
