Reviews for Paradise Indian Grill in Hiawatha, IA

Great Indian food and service. I love the street style noodles and egg curry. The food is not greasy and always freshly made.... The servers are extremely polite and welcoming. The chef was not happy with the bread so he sent another one complimentary. They serve dosas on Wednesday night. Read more

Ordered Samosas and Butter Chicken. We were seated promptly, given our beverages and got to enjoy the lovely environment. Very... clean and relaxing. The samosa’s were the best I’ve ever had, crispy and flaky with lots of delicious filling. The butterchicken we ordered mild and came that way, delicious sauce and tender chicken. I’d definitely recommend this establishment toanyone looking for flavorful, well-made and well-priced Indian cuisine! Read more

Stopped in for supper tonight, it was fantastic! Cauliflower wings appetizer, medium hot, was excellent. My wife and I shared... Butter Chicken and the Paradise Special Fried Rice along with the Garlic Naan. One of the best dinners I have had in a while.For me the fried rice was the winner but all of it was delicious.

Cedar Rapids has several Indian dining options and Paradise is near the top of the list. The food is excellent - the chana... masala is amazing and complex, and the aloo gobi curry was equally delicious. Portions are generous and the food was spicywithout being overpowering. As some others have noted, there is room for improvement in service - when we were greeted, theperson seemed distracted and only gave us one menu. A different person served the food and he was more friendly and attentive. Read more

Feeling so late to the party but this place rules. I got the Tangy Garlic Curry and the Onion Kulcha Naan and they were both... absolutely wonderful. I can't express how awesome the curry was - it probably had literally an entire head worth of fried garliccloves luxuriating in a delicious sauce. The whole thing tasted especially of fried garlic and curry leaves, it was amazing. Thewait for my to-go order was no more than 15 minutes and the service was kind and attentive. I will be back, probably literallytonight, to try the Dosas. Thank you very much! Read more

From the first moment we walked in, there were already 4 people sitting around waiting for their to-go orders looking real mad.... I asked one of them what's going on and apparently they had been waiting for at least 45 minutes. Not a good sign, but we dinedin anyway. The waiter who took our order didn't write anything down (impressive at first), repeated our order back to us 3times, but still got the orders wrong in the end. We asked for only one of the dishes to be spicy, and they made the dish thatwasn't supposed to be spicy like level 4 out of 5 spicy (we only asked for level 2), and the dish that was supposed to be level2 spicy had zero spice. After scraping off the level 4 spicy sauce that it was doused in, the Chicken Tandoori was finallyedible but fast approaching room temperature, and there was not enough meat there to warrant a $13.99 price tag. Also, do notorder the Mango Dal unless you like tepid, flavorless bean soup. You'd think it would at least taste like mango, right? Nope, noflavor whatsoever, and definitely not worth $10.99. Did they forget to put the mango in the Mango Dal? The worst part was thewait. We waited over an hour for them to serve us the first dish, and then another 20 minutes for the second dish with sidesthat were supposed to come out with the first dish. During our very long wait, we were not assured if/when our food was coming,we were not told why it was taking so long, nor did we get an apology for the long wait. We should have left, but we wanted togive them a chance to at least give us some good quality food, but no dice. Suffice it to say, I can NOT recommend this placebecause of the ridiculously long wait for dine-in and to-go, the disappointing quality of the food, and the severe lack ofcustomer service. Hopefully they can improve, but until then, we probably won't be back. Read more

The location is in a shopping center and has a colorful sign to show its front doors. The inside is very clean and open with a... more modern design. I like it! A bar sits in the back of the restaurant and the drinks were poured with a heavy hand ;). Thefood was great. I love the chicken fried rice they have. We also got some okra, butter chicken, and somosas. Everything wasquite delicious. We got spicy 1/5 because of the kids. I love spicy food and even this spice level I could feel some heat, so Iwas happy. The kids who love spicy food could just handle it, but needed a good bit of water. The only negative was the waittime. It took us around 45-50 minutes to get our food because they had a bunch of orders they were preparing for dashers, butthe owner let us know when we sat so that was greatly appreciated. Read more

We always have the most delicious food here! We like it spicy and level 4 is perfect for us. We tried level 5 spice once. My... tongue was numb. We had to get a cone at mcds to calm it down lol. Anyway such good food! Read more
