India Palace Restaurant, San Francisco

There is a tantalizing aroma of curry hanging heavy in the air of this tidy little restaurant. The decor is equally inviting with copper wainscoting that gleams beneath mirrored panels topped with pink and gold scalloped cutouts. The menu is extensive and includes classics such as Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Curry and Tandoori Prawns. There is an excellent selection of vegetarian selections too, including a superb Mutter Paneer (green peas with home-made cheese cubes in a mild curry sauce). For dessert, there are traditional Kheer (a pudding made with aromatic Basmati rice) and Gulab Jamun (cheese balls fried and then soaked in fruit-flavored syrups). The wait staff is quick and efficient.
