NEW DELHI PALACE - TUCSON, AZ

I'm not quite sure how i feel about this Indian restaurant. I liked the feel inside the place which had loads of seating. However, the tables in the center were really close together. close enough that you could reach out and  take their naan.  The food was good but not anything special. I enjoyed the food at Gandhi much better though you are served on metal plates like prison.

Everything is a la carte and a bowl of rice is $3. The rice was excellent; very tender and light. We ordered a snack appetizer and 2 veggie samasos and chicken korma. The snacks consisted of some lentil balls (sort of dry), a sausage like object (which was mysteriously chewy), and some crispy pockets stuffed with veggies, i think. The samasos were not crispy enough and the filling (potatoes and peas) was too bland and mushy. But the 3 accompanying condiments were excellent and really improved all the appetizers. They all had their own type of spiciness. There was a red-orange clear sauce with onions and a dark green one and a burgundy slightly sweet sauce.

The chicken korma was tender but we ordered it mild and it was TOO mild; needed some more heat.

The service was excellent and we got our check fast and the change fast as we were all eager to get home and have some chocolate mousse cake.
