Delhi Palace saved my dinner party! I was getting over a nasty 24-hour bug, and was panicked about how on earth I was going to be able to pull off a vegetarian duel birthday dinner party for my Scorpio-signed, non-meat eating folks. My boyfriend suggested ordering a bunch of food for everyone. I was non-too-thrilled by this suggestion, but felt I had nothing better to offer. Cooking, cleaning and preparing for the party would have surely put me over the edge, so I went along with it. The responsibility of ordering for everyone sort of put me in a state of quiet anxiety, but I knew I needed to bite the bullet. Ordering for 13 people I got the following: APPS 3 Vegetable Pakora (6/order) apps - too salty, over done, wouldn't order again 5 Samosa (2 large per order) apps - we split them in 2 so there would be 20. They were gone in minutes. So delicious, and really reasonable at $2.49/order DINNER 1 Vegetable Korma - excellent, should have ordered 2 of them 2 Daal Maharani - excellent, and there was nothing left 2 Bengan Bharta - too salty, wouldn't order this again, hardly touched 2 Palak Paneer - excellent, a true hit 1 Malai Kofta - delicate and delicious Oh, how could I forget, we ordered lots of Garlic Naan, and a platter of Basmati rice. The apps came with mint chutney and tamarind chutney, and I ordered raita (cool whipped yogurt) to drizzle over the spicy preps. Dinner was around $170. It was entirely worth it. No stress, no mess, and everyone was thanking us for the Indian treats. Plus, we had Indian food for dinner the next night! What I gleaned from this experience was I could have definitely ordered less food. There was tons of left overs. I would say that one dinner dish safely satisfies 2 guests. Favorites were: Palak Paneer, Vegetable Korma, Daal Maharani, Garlic Naan, Samosas. One last thing, this place has the best Indian Buffet in town... if you're into that sort of thing (wink).
