Palace of India - Grand Rapids, MI

A New Indian Restaurant called "Palace of India" has opened up in Grand Rapids, MI. Owner Sunny Singh, who has been active in Democratic politics for a decade, said he knew there would be an audience in Grand Rapids for another Indian restaurant so he decided to open "Palace of India".

From mlive.com

The scent of curry and fresh naan have been drawing crowds to a humble new "Palace" on East Fulton Street

On its first full day of business, Singh said 650 people showed up at the Palace of India, a restaurant that features homemade Indian goat, lamb, chicken, seafood and vegetarian foods.

Owner Sunny Singh opened his new eatery at 961 E. Fulton St. two weeks ago with a ribbon cutting attended by Mayor George Heartwell, state Rep. Mike Sak and other politicians Singh considers friends.


Since then, the restaurant has attracted lines of people drawn by the bright red tandoori chicken and goat kadai.

The restaurant offers a lunch buffet with a rotating selection of dishes for $8.95. Entrees run from $10 to $16 and are available for takeout. The restaurant also offers catering.

Palace of India is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. It closes 3 to 5 p.m. daily.

Congratulations Mr. Singh!

Rangoli Indian Cuisine, Auburn Hills

Rangoli Indian Cuisine has been rated one of the best "Indian Restaurants" by Metro Times and Hour Detroit. Metro Times had this to say

We liked so many things at Rangoli that we felt comfortable randomly exploring the menu. This system led us to nargisi aloo, a potato stuffed with a mix of nuts, vegetables and cottage cheese. And chicken tikka masala, with chunks of breast meat roasted in a tandoor oven, then cooked in the thick and luscious sauce. If you’re new to Indian food, go for the lunch buffet. You can’t beat the price and the hooded copper chafing dishes are beautiful, lined up like a row of minarets

Rangoli Indian Cuisine is located on 3055 E Walton Blvd, Auburn Hills, MI. (Phone No: 248-377-3800)

Here's a Bird's Eye View from Microsoft Virtual Earth, of approximate location of Rangoli Restaurant.

Ashoka Indian Cuisine, Canton

Ashoka Indian Cuisine located at 2100 Haggerty Rd, Canton, MI 48187 (Phone: (734)844 3100) seems to be top choice of majority surveyed.

Here's a Bird's Eye View of Ashoka in Canton from Microsoft Virtual Earth. No cars in the parking lot means that this image was taken early in the morning :-)
