Ekam Palace Indian Restaurant

We have ordered a fair bit here over the few years we have been in the area and there are definitely some inconsistencies. I know this because we order the same two dishes every time. The Raita is delicious, the butter chicken is just how we like it (creamy, slightly sweet and full-flavoured) most of the time. Sometimes it feels a little less full-flavoured. The lamb korma when made well is amazing and the lamb is mostly soft and tender with the odd tough/overcooked pieces. I like my korma creamy and slightly sweet but sometimes they make this quite salty with no hint of sweet...when I make mention of it, they always sound surprised but it has happened several times over the years and every now and then I will get a great one. Also, I have had to drive back to the restaurant a couple of times when I have returned home to find a mistake in my order ie missing rice or a dish was wrong only to be told sorry" with a lovely smile but no compensation. Not bad customer service as they are always friendly but a bit of compensation to keep a repeat customer wouldn't go astray."

Nice fluffy rice with butter chicken. Some samosas to start off with though. Happy with the service as well. An established business that have been there for years. The quality of their food is really good. You you will be satisfied with their takeaway. You can order on menu log or door dash.

I have been getting takeaway from Ekam Palace for the 5+ years and without fail it’s ALWAYS AMAZING!!!!! They are the best Indian I have ever had and are extremely delicious, highly recommend!!!! Customer service is always amazing and are very kind.

Spinach koftas - delicious, and just the right amount of heat. Young guy who served me was really nice, great service. Ordered from here a few times and haven’t been disappointed yet.

Absolutely amazing food!Highly recommend! We had the lamb korma and beef Rogan Josh and it was probably the best we've ever had! Will be going back

Been going here for a while. Biryani is always outstanding with a good array of spices, flavour and very tender lamb. Garlic and cheese naan cooked perfectly. Gulab jamun is always cooked perfectly. I tried a lot of their dishes and they have alesy been great. Staff are very friendly with great customer service. Recommend highly.

Nice flavours, but be good if they put something in the dish. Prawn masala had 5 prawns the size of a twenty cent coin. About the same for the rest of the dishes.

I won't be eating there again. Was very average food unfortunately.

I really really wanted to like this place. A locally run hole in the wall pick up a 2 min drive from home - first impressions were good - appears to be an indian family run business surely this is going to be the real deal.Unfortunately it just didn’t quite hit the mark. We ordered dhal and butter chicken starters rice and naan (garlic and plain).The 3 star rating is all for the dhal - Punjabi dhal. Very nice spice and was tasty but the butter chicken (which this restaurant is supposedly famous for) was very disappointing. Chicken was not marinated / tandoored enough first, meat was fatty chewy and while the flavour of the sauce was “OK” it was unfortunately let down by meat quality. If the meat had been tandoored and was quality without fatty grisly pieces it would have been a 4 star as the flavour of the sauce was completely fine (again just not amazing spice depth but certainly not inedible).Starters were OK - did the Punjabi mix the samosas had a decent enough flavour but would benefit from being cooked in fresher oil. Nothing offensive just again, a little ho hum.We also ordered garlic and plain naans. This would be best described more like a roti so if you like roti that’s probably close to what their naan is - it appeared to have been cooked offsite and microwaved at the restaurant so if you’re looking for a light fluffy buttery naan - this isn’t it.Overall I would say if you are after something basic and not too complex it would pass but certainly not anything to write home about. We have been a bit spoilt with high quality Indian coming from Melbourne and having also previously spent time in India so others may have a different view.

I don’t want to do this or place a negative review but I must say I ordered chicken tikka masala rice and garlic naan, I ended up throwing it in the bin, the taste was bland, masala was pale with no taste and definitely not medium hot as requested. There was 2 small pieces of capsicum and onion in the whole dish, the garlic naan was terrible and not traditional, I really don’t know what say about this anymore, never thrown all the food away before.
