"Wow! Now this place knows how to make some seriously spicy Indian food. I always ask for my curry dishes to be 'as hot as you can make it ' which in most places you can get by asking for it Indian hot . Here they warned us, we make it somewhat hotter than most Indian restaurants are you sure you really want it that hot? I went for it! They were not kidding either, I can honestly say it was some of the hottest Indian food I have ever had ANYWHERE! I offer that advice up front for all other crazy spicy food addicts like me. Or for those who enjoy Medium spice like my wife, even hers I would rate as hot, though it was very enjoyable all the same and I did compliment them on being one of the first places to almost manage to defeat me on my omg, my esophagus has melted challenge! Now let me also say, it 's not just spice for the sake of it, it 's great food. Very enjoyable. Unlike a lot of restaraunts, this one provides papad/papadums up front for free without having to order it. They also have a unique dipping sauce that goes with it, different to most places but very nice all the same. I have no clue what is in it, I just know it was tasty. We followed this with an Onion Bhaji appetizer. This is a favorite of mine anyway, but I can honestly say these are the largest sized one 's I 've ever seen which to me is just a plus. I kid you not, this appetizer alone could feed two people and you would be good. Some of the best Onion Bahji 's I 've had, and came with the same dipping sauce as before. At this point, they could do no wrong! Since it was a restaurant I hadn 't been to before, I decided to go for the old staple of Chicken Tikka Masala for my main dish. I got hot as I said before, wife got medium. Now, this is not your really creamy CTM that tends to be more the norm, it was definately less yoghurty and erred more on the onion and vegetables than most I 've had, but it was non the worse for that. Honestly, it was a little more like Chicken Madras, and since that 's a fave of mine too, I had no complaints. If you 're in or visiting the Colorado Springs area and would like to find some good Indian food, you could do a lot worse than to give India Palace a try."
