Thought maybe they'ed worked the kinks out, so we tried HG pizza for second time a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed again! We had the margherita. Dough was great, but something in the topping, whether cheese or sauce, had a funny, hard to describe, off taste. Maybe metallic? We've always thought they deserved the accolades for their bread. The double chocolate mocha cookie was awesome but has been deleted since remodeling. But the pizza is really underwhelming. I am wondering if they might sell their pizza dough!?!

Nice to find someone who also knew the restaurant so long ago! It was the first Indian restaurant that I really liked! Maybe made more special by the friends I went with--that's what I mean by imprecise memories. I do remember that the buffet lunches were spicier and saltier than their regular menu dishes. Was sad when I visited back in the 90's and they were gone. Restaurants definitely have a shelf life. Maybe it's as it should be--you must maintain, adapt or die among the stiff competition and/or changing tastes.

We tried India Palace one time several years ago because we love Indian food. We were 2 of 4 people the entire time we were there. We didn't linger and it was empty when we left. It was so bad that we never went back. ( Tough in truth, the samosas were decent.) There are wonderful smells coming from India House in the afternoon, and that has made us want to give them another try. But we've been there 3 or even 4 times, and each time--ordering different things--we are struck by its mediocrity. Not awful, just really disappointingly mediocre, and certainly not worth the money. The sauces are one note, with no depths of flavor that all the different spices should bring together.
It's certainly true that tastes are different. And maybe our memories are imperfect and when we try to find the tastes that we think we remember, we will always be disappointed.
In my youth, I loved a midtown Indian restaurant in NYC called Tandoor that is long gone, while my husband swore by the ones on 6th St. But as a couple, we both agreed on the good taste of the the last Indian/Nepalese restaurant we thought highly of--Katmandu Kitchen in Davis CA. Before that, our favorite was in downtown Wiesbaden in Germany. Sad to say we have not found anything equivalent in MA.
I suppose I might be willing to give India Palace another try, given the more recent testimonial above.
Has anyone actually tried Glory of India?
