Kamal Palace

Very good service, staff, food and lunch buffet! I love their Lamb curry and chicken tandury!!

I have been a patron of KP for over 25 years now and I have always enjoyed coming here either for the lunch buffet or an evening dinner coupled with a movie and visit to B&N. The food has always been delicious, prices reasonable, and service polite, efficient, and warm. The general manager-owner, Anil (sp?), always drops by my table to greet me and my party with a welcoming smile. Even after the CV pandemic and a brief restaurant remodeling, KP is still serving wonderfully delicious foods at reasonable prices. I now often stop by with friends for the lunch buffet. Love the vegetarian dishes....my favorite is Malai Kofta :o)

We struggle finding good Indian food options as we can be quite particular. This is a solid option for us close to home. As an added bonus is they have a buffet option which has disappeared in most restaurants during the pandemic and has never reappeared. All and all the restaurant is a good option and I would recommend it.

I would highly recommend buffet. Very good food, wide variety of dishes, and excellent pricing.

Always good food here. It takes about one hour to get your food but it's always delicious

We used to come here when we lived in Long Beach way before pandemic. Haven't visited for many years... This is one of very few Indian restaurants that still serve lunch buffet post pandemic. Everything was delicious! Fairly reasonable price considering everything has gone up so much in recent years. We enjoyed it and will go back again for sure.

Great food! Full of flavor. Atmosphere is luxurious! Great quality and location. To top it off, the staff was super friendly

Amazing food and service. I have been coming for years. Newly renovated and it looks great.

Great experience at Kamal Palace! The food was delicious and the service was top-notch. Kushal was especially attentive and professional—it really made the visit memorable. Will definitely be coming back!

I recommend this place. Yes. Food is good. The price is reasonable and serves are great.

Flavorful and rich, we ordered many dishes to share. They have some northern Indian dishes that are hard to find so we will be back to try more of these specialties as these were new to me. The tofu masala, aloo gobi were delicious and comforting on a cold and cloudy day. I am still thinking about the textures in every bite of potato stuffed naan! I can’t wait for another meal at Kamal Palace

Delicious food, both naans and curries were amazing. We ordered medium but felt it was slightly to the spicier end. Enjoyable experience.

Loved their food! Ordered it for take-out, still hot, delivered nicely packaged and the food is high quality. Best tikka masala and samosas. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food, great service and a beautiful view of the marina from the patio. Kamal Palace is my favorite Indian buffet. I am vegetarian, and they have a great selection (but there's plenty of meat, too, for my carnivorous friends). The interior could use some work, but it's OK. I always sit on the patio. :)

discovered this place while killing time before our movie date. everything is freshly cooked to spicy perfection. have been back twice now. my new favorite date night spot

We got take out, and they were kind enough to offer us water while we waited for our massive order! Everyone was so friendly. The restaurant is clean and well dressed, with an elegant vibe. They even have outdoor seating. Our food was hot, fresh, and well prepared. Get the mango lassi AND the vegetable pakoras. Go hungry, their portions are large, and if you don't have any Naan you're robbing yourself.

We took two friends to the lunch buffet. The food and variety were excellent. Service for a buffet was also good - the service personnel kept a careful eye on our table and removed dishes and refilled drinks on a regular basis. I was impressed. We will return.

Absolutely love this place. One of my new favorite spots for genuine Indian food. Started with 3pc samosas which were nice and crispy on the outside and full of flavor. We ordered the Indian Special and Non Veg special and I gotta say we got more than we bargained for. Each special could of easily been shared by two people. I love that they make your food to your desired spice level, mild, medium, and HOT. I like spicy food and this was great, spicy but full of flavor. The mango lassi was great, thick mango juice. The chai was perfect, home made genuine taste. The naan was nice and toasty but still soft in the inside. The older gentleman with glasses had amazing service. Will definitely be returning to try the buffet another day.

This was pure Indian buffet magic, I am a traveled buffet eater and let me tell youuuu, thee flavor s...listen here* EPIC! Don't miss out on this experience! Hallelujahhhh lordie lord! I feel like dancing!

AMAZING. The food, the ambience, the service, the value. I've been wanting to come here ever since I saw it and I'm so glad we did. They have a buffet but only from 11am - 2:30pm. The spices, the flavor, the portions! Exceptional. I can't remember the last time I truly enjoyed a restaurant meal.

Considering the quality of the food, this is a proper diamond in the buffet rough for $17. Highly recommend if you're a fan of Indian cuisine. The flavors are very modestly muted for the American palette but is still packed full of spices and seasoned accordingly. Bonus for the waterfront seating that's available and the garlic naan they give at the beginning too.

I recently visited Kamal Palace Restaurant and had a fantastic experience! We went for the buffet, and it was absolutely amazing — a great variety of delicious dishes, all fresh and full of flavor. The appetizers were a standout too — the pakoras were crispy and perfectly spiced, and the momos were juicy and flavorful. The service was warm and welcoming, and the overall ambiance made it a comfortable place to enjoy a great meal. Whether you’re looking for a casual buffet or tasty appetizers to share, Kamal Palace delivers. Definitely recommend checking it out!

This is an excellent place for a lunch buffet. For about 17$, the food was so good. Flavors were perfect. The spicy chicken was sooo good.. Service was friendly and appropriately attentive. Bathroom was clean. If you are in south Long Beach /north OC, and are craving Indian food, this is the place to go! The outside seating area has a great view of the water.

Buffet great deal though no Tikka Masala on day we went. Best Naan we've had in a while. Tandoori Chicken was superb. Enough offerings to satisfy including tasty Daal and samosas. A regular spot for us.

The place is a experience, clean, spacious and inviting with a great host at the door. Me and my family arrived and we’re immediately seated and we’re offered water while we decided our choices, the menu was extensive and held many enticing dishes. I settled on Karahi Paneer which was rich and filling, the samosas delicious, my brother had the bbq grill plate which so good and the lamb curry here flavorful. Overall a great meal shared around with a attentive host, will come here again.

Came here for the first time on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated by the window with a view of the boats in the marina. The location is nice! It's an all you can eat buffet for just under $11. The food was so delicious and we loved the way they seasoned their food with just the right amount of spiciness. Plenty of options for vegetarians. There was chicken dishes there, rice, daal, samosas, spinach, desserts, salad, and many more dishes. They also give you hot fresh naan. I will definitely come back!

This place is on PCH and a LITTLE hard to find. You can park by the AMC and walk down to find it. They had a very nice outdoor patio, super cozy and next to the water. The service was very good and they made sure that we always had a full glass etc. The curry was supperr delicious. At first, I thought the servings would not be enough… but it was ! We took home leftovers and they even gave us extra rice to take home! I would totally come again, and I heard they have a buffet? I would be down to try it again !

Really enjoyed dinner here. Thankfully, there are combination-type dinners on the menu if you just cannot decide what you want (like me). For example, you want some tikka masala, but you also want the tandoori chicken, maybe the channa masala too, so you can get some of what you want together without ordering 3 different meals. And of course, the available beers went well with the enormous amount of food we ordered. This is the first I had sweet naan and it was delicious. Also, I liked the service. It was fast and the servers were cool.

This is hands down the best Indian restaurant we’ve been to in the area. We ended up ordering more food to take home because we wanted more than just our left overs😅 plenty of vegetarian options and plenty of non-veggie options too, overall just amazing💗💗 price was just right as the food was fantastic. Overheard this spot was family owned as well and we love tight knit restaurants. ☺️

The atmosphere was great and the Gulab Jamuns definitely hit!

Great lunch buffet. I've been eating here since it first opened and I highly recommend it. Not very comfortable for wheelchair and handicapped individuals. It's a bit awkward and troublesome to get from buffet trays back to your table or if you decide to eat outside by the water, which is a shame.

We went for their Lunch Buffet and had a great meal. It was $18 each, which is a good price anymore. The restaurant was more than half full on a Saturday, the waiters were very friendly and pleasant, and the buffet selection was excellent. My husband went back 3 times, and I twice. We sat in their outdoor space with a lovely view over water.

Omg ! This an amazing place to eat. It's worth every penny. Lunch price is til' 2:30 pm. So much to choose from. It is an all you can eat buffet. You also get a basket of Naan bread. The staff are very welcoming and done rush you. I will be back in a few days to bring my sister and nephew.

The go to Indian restaurant for lunch buffet. The price is very reasonable and the food is good. They have a lamb dish, chicken tikka and butter chicken and several vegetable dishes. The paneer is fresh and warm, a perfect pairing with the food. Also they have a very nice view of the harbor if you are planning on relaxing your eyes.

Good food, nice service. If u r planning to eat manchurian here then b ready for gobi manchurian instead of actual manchurian dish tat u think! For Indian food, this is one of the best in long beach.

We’ve been meaning to try Kamal Palace for a long time and finally ordered delivery through Uber Eats. We got the Chana masala, mutter paneer, and bhindi masala—everything was flavorful, came with rice, and paired perfectly with some roti we heated at home. The spice level (we ordered mild) was spot on—perfect for enjoying the flavors without being overwhelmed, and easy to add extra heat at home if you want. It honestly reminded us of home-style cooking, which was comforting. The only downside was the oiliness—if the dishes were made with less oil, this could easily become our go-to Indian spot in Long Beach. Overall, really good food and definitely worth ordering again.

Location is a little wierd to find (downstairs in the back) but worth the walk. The patio is of course a great outdoor setting but the dining room has its own attraction. The food was a mix for me. I usually start at the lowest level of heat at any new Indian restaurant, but this one was a little low even so. Still with maybe a medium heat this meal would have be great. I always suggest trying 2 of your staples and then something unique from the menu. I am normally pleasantly surprised. Really looking forward to the brunch reopening but until then I have a few dishes I would like to try. Cost is a little high for the amount so sampling is costly. Still we were not able to finish everything and enjoyed what we had. One other thing, the naan was not what I am used to. Not bad , just not the same as other versions I've had. Now to head there for dinner and see how that changes the experience.

Weekend lunch buffet was affordable, but the offerings were a little lack-luster. Food was okay, but what was concerning was the chicken in the butter chicken was severely undercooked!

Normally would not post a review without actually eating the food, but in this case I felt it would be good to highlight our experience with respect to service so the restaurant can have the opportunity to improve. We arrived an hour prior to our movie at 7 at the Marina Pacifica AMC. It was Valentine’s Day, but the restaurant was only 3/4 full. The patrons who had their food appeared to be enjoying it and the food looked and smelled lovely. We were immediately sat down at a table and provided menus and water. We quickly selected our food and waited patiently for a server to arrive. Our menus were down, our waters were regularly filled, but no server came to take our order it had been more than 10 minutes. Finally, I flagged down a bus boy and let him know that we were ready to order. The server arrived five minutes later. My wife is Vegan, and had selected a dish which was marked “Vegan preparation upon request”. After the server took the order he said he would need to check if the kitchen could prepare the dish as requested and disappeared. Another 30 minutes went by, no starters, no status on the food, and water servicing stopped even though they would pass our table with water. Our glasses were empty. Finally, I flagged down the server and asked when our food would be ready. He stated that they had not started cooking our food yet and it was due to the Vegan preparation request. He added that it was busy and that the Vegan order is why they had not started. At that point, a bit gutted, we cancelled our order and headed to the movie. Good food ensures the satisfaction of the customer; however, bad service tends to ruin the meal.

Food is too sweet no flavor at all. We are 3 people fine-in for buffet every dish is lacking spices. But the restaurant was clean and neat. Food should be improved a lot.
