Paradise Indian Grill

Our first visit to Paradise Indian Grill was earlier today (Saturday) for their Brunch Buffet.
We were seated immediately upon entering and the wait staff kept our sodas topped off...there were a few big screen televisions on the walls and one one showing how to make some Indian dishes, showing the ingredients, amounts, and step by step instructions...found that very interesting.
They had a number of tasty choices to choose from on the buffet line and my favorites were the Chicken Tikka Masala, the Chili Chicken, and the Naan Bread. The Baby Corn Manchurian was a nice surprise as well.
The chicken dishes had a nice level of spice and the rice choices were served up perfectly cooked...my only complaint, and its on me for getting there a little late, was that the amount of each of the foods on the buffet was a little on the light side. I wish they would have restocked the items...when they brought out some fresh Naan Bread it was warm and delicious.

We took our son here and we were not disappointed!! Our waiter was so attentive to him , brought him several coloring sheets and crayons. Our food was absolutely delicious. The menu was easy to navigate and the decor inside was beautiful. They offer large portions as well. So delicious!

Food Is Really Awesome and Sevice is Good . We Enjoyed the NFL game on Tv nice Ambiance.

Delicious authentic food. Chai tea is fabulous. The service is a little slow but friendly and understanding.

Paradise Grill used to be fantastic. Lately, it seems like they don't try hard to provide good customer service. I ordered a take out order and didn't bother to take everything out of the bag to verify the order was correct until I got home. When I got home, I discovered that one item was not correct. Pictures below show receipt of what was ordered, what should have been provided and what was provided instead. Also, the yellow stuff provided was VERY bland. Regarding the Biryani, we used to always get a yogurt topping on the side, but not anymore. Just seems like quality and customer service is going down quickly. Has anyone tried Delhicacy? Any better?

I like this place I used to order it nonstop.

One major complaint is that when you order a Somsa Togo they put it in Styrofoam containers, which melt, and I don't really want to eat melted Styrofoam there's gotta be a better way

Great food nice ambience.
Like other Yelper stated the Naan was thick. Not fully cooked. Seems like it was not cooked in a tandoor. I had methi chicken which was very well cooked. Would definitely recommend. Cedar Rapids seems to be having good Indian restaurants. Specifically who cater to South Indian tastes. The hostess was polite.

My magic eight ball indicates this place wont last much longer. A normally busy dining room at the Fountains, even on a weeknight, was completely dead at their new location. 1 table at 5:30 PM. I'd ordered takeout of Chili Chicken, Samosas, and Bullet Naan, which was promised in 30 minutes -- it was closer to an hour as I sat at their bar waiting for it to be completed.

As I sat, I noticed the bar was unkept and the hostess also appeared to be the bartender -- which is fine given the current climate, but it just seemed off, frankly.

The food itself was just ok. The chili chicken was no where near the quality it was at the previous location, and even asking for extra chili's yielded no extra chili's (a prior visit, which I did not review from a week ago yielded *NO* chili's).

Sadly, after many visits to Paradise at both locations, this is my last visit to this establishment. I've yet to try Persis, but will give it a try based on other reviews.

My favorite restaurant in Cedar Rapids is Taste of India, so the Indian bar is set pretty high. The look and feel of Paradise is completely unlike a typical Indian place - this one is very "American"ized and a place you'd expect to find more American style food.

The service was fine but we were one of maybe 3 tables in there at 1:30ish on a Saturday afternoon and the food took what felt like forever. But I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the food. It was definitely no Taste of India, but for a place like this it was decent. The portions are good sized, the naan (we had bullet and garlic) was delicious, the chutney was good.

Overall it's a decent place to try out. But to satisfy my personal Indian cravings I'll likely stick to TOI.

2 for 1's for happy hour monday to Friday from 4-7 pm. 3 hrs happy hour. Its a great way for me to start my Friday after work. Its actually a saying at my work place if you want to reach me on Friday and I am not answering call up Paradise. Karan will be there... lol i was one of the few people who were invited at their opening and their food is delicious. Appetizers Chicken65 and Goat Sukha is to die for. And beware Goat sukha can be spicy. Their servers are super friendly and I love going there to be treated nice. Also their owner is friendly and knows his stuff. He helped us order good food. He explained why chicken65 is called as that(do ask them :P). Love their Chicken Lollipop too. And be prepared to wait on Fridays they are busy....
