11/27/2012 10:40 pmThe best part of having my parents visit me is that I get to go wherever I want to eat... and they pay. But impressing them is hard and we had already explored all of the well known places that any food-crazy Penn student can recite by their second semester freshman year as easily as the on campus dining hours: Banana Leaf, Marrakesh, Salentos, Gnocchi’s, Aqua, Charles Plaza…the list goes on. I needed a well-guarded secret, a restaurant that the connoisseurs and true foodies knew about. My Big told me about Palace at the Ben, a restaurant that serves Indian cuisine, and after reading through numerous food blogs and reviews, I was tempted to try it. I’m glad I did because the experience was nothing short of royal. |

08/05/2011 1:27 pmDon't go for the hype, save your money and dine elsewhere. The restaurant looks nice from the outside, however I had to wait for a good 5 minutes before somebody came around to seat me. Then another 5-10 minutes of thumb twiddling before being asked for what I wanted to drink. The buffet had 6-7 items but the containers were hovering near empty. The tandoori chicken was passable, the vegetable dishes (navratan korma and an eggplant number) not that great. Even this Indian dude can cook better than that. A good thing is that they bring the naan to your table. Surely, I thought to myself, Philly has better Indian restaurants than this and so my search continues ... |

08/01/2011 2:28 pmGood buffet. The service was good and the food was ok. I am not a big buffet eater because the food is not as good as with one meal prepared for you and served fresh. This buffet food was not as good as if it were a single meal. However, this was good for a buffet and the selection is moderate. I have seen huge buffets and this was not one of those. I would go back there again. |
