    Raj Palace is becoming one of my go-to spots for lunch in downtown Calgary. The service rocks, the buffet is always full of hot, tasty Indian food and the price is right at around $15. There's usually a person or two at the front waiting for takeout as well.

    There's plenty of seating available if you've got a large group of folks headed out for a meal. Say, like, 20 some odd people-or find yourself a table along the wall or by the window if there are just a couple of you.

    I've never eaten off of the menu here, just had the buffet. But I can't walk away from that buffet without a helping of butter chicken. Yummers!

    Good south indian food. If you are a lover of masala dosa(crepe) and idli with sambar and chatni(pickle) then this is worth paying a visit. Chicken here is not so tasty but the fish curry is. Rest of the curries are just upto the mark . Rotis and nan are good here. We can find very few south indian restaurants in calgary and I think this is best of all those I have visited till now in calgary with much reasonable price. Best thing about this place is that they offer buffet even during dinner time and no other indian restaurant in downtown during weekdays at so lower price ( as far as now ).

    Saturday buffet stands my fave day here. They serve hyderabadi chicken dum biryani ,fishcurry and lamb curry too which are just sooo yummy!!!

    If you like dosas here, don't hesitate to ask for more which they serve free during buffet and you can eat as much as you can!!

    I don't usually eat Indian food because I can't handle all the spice.  But based on a recommendation, we decided to try this restaurant.  The decor when you first walk in is very nice.  Most people probably eat the buffet which was reasonably priced at under $14.  There was a variety of food including a salad, curry vegetables and meats, rice, and potatoes. They also bring fresh naan and dosa  to the table and it's yummy.  My colleague said it was good south Indian cuisine and my stomach and pocket book both agreed.

    The Raj Palace is enticing because of the buffet, but buffets are painful for me. I love them, and I can't stop. My plate gets piled high, I don't want to miss out... Basically, I lose my mind for the duration of the lunch hour. Indian Buffets are particularly challenging for me because I think they are the best way to sample tons of food without a huge group, and because they are super spicy. I can't handle the spice.

    I really liked the atmosphere. It was bustling, and they used up most of their space. The service was quick and efficient, everyone was super nice and it looked a little classier inside.

    So it was with some trepidation that I headed down to the Raj palace for lunch. 12.95 for the lunch buffet. They had a good selection - quite a few veggie options, a salad and fruit area, paneer and tandoori and a little bit of everything. The butter chicken was so-so, but the naan was super fresh and everything else was nice and tasty... I 100% ate too much. I'm pretty sure people were giving me the look, I ate so much.

    The desserts were a touch suspect. The sweet noodles were delicious but the creme de caramel (why in an Indian restaurant?) was over cooked. I'll definitely be back, especially because I got a coupon with my purchase! Yay!

    We went on a Saturday at lunchtime and the place was totally deserted. We went for the buffet even though the price was a bit high ($15.99) since my wife had never experienced Indian food before. The atmosphere was pretty nice but the service was slow to get to us despite the fact that we were the only customers.

    The food was mediocre. It was a bit cold and I've definitely had better indian food but overall it was a decent place to eat. I probably wouldn't go back but there is nothing I particularly didn't like. The buffet was fairly large but it lacked some things that I would have liked to see, especially for the price.

    Okay, I'll admit it. I'm a dosa girl. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

    Mysore Palace is a wonderful South Indian Restaurant that is decorated nicely and the food is quite delicious.

    I ordered the Onion Dosa, along with chai. Both very good. The service was good and the prices were reasonable.

    My only criticism is that it could use a bit of a better clean. We sat by the windowsill and there was a collection of dead fruit flies laying there. It didn't help my appetite, but let's just say I had no problem polishing off my plate regardless.

    Thursday - my fave day at Raj Palace!  Why?  It's Fish Curry day!  Delicious!  The other Fish Curry Day is Saturday.   As it was a warm day, I also had the Mango Lassi - a mango yogurt drink with ice cubes.  Aaaaaahhhh!

    I noticed right away when I entered the restaurant that it's got new oblong and round tables and chairs.  The booths are done away with.  There is only one half-booth right up the front by the bar.  It's actually opened up the space in the restaurant.
