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!

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
