India Palace is a single-location, full-service Indian restaurant operating at 493 Amherst Street in Nashua, New Hampshire. Founded by chef-owner Sajal Latka, who trained at the Delhi Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology and gained experience across five-star hotels and award-winning restaurants, the restaurant was the first Indian establishment in Nashua and has been operating for nearly two decades. The menu covers an extensive range of authentic Indian cuisine including tandoori plates, classic curries, house specialties, biryanis, chaats, South Indian specialties, and a full beverage program with cocktails, wine, beer, and lassis. The restaurant also accommodates vegan and gluten-free diners through substitutions such as tofu for protein and coconut milk for dairy.

The business operates across five core revenue streams: dine-in service (open seven days a week, 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM), online ordering for pickup and delivery through Smart Online Order, off-premise catering (direct and via the EzCater marketplace), private party and event hosting, and digital gift card sales through Clover.

An 18% service charge applies to parties of six or more. Marketing is executed through a SpotHopper-built website, organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, Google Business Profile), email newsletters, and participation in national food holidays.

The customer base is horizontally segmented across individual diners and families, corporate and business events, and special occasion celebrations (birthdays, weddings, engagements). The restaurant is privately held by the founder with no external investment, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding history. The technology stack is entirely composed of third-party SaaS platforms (SpotHopper, Smart Online Order, EzCater, Clover) with no proprietary technology or claimed AI capabilities. The company is WCAG AA accessibility-compliant on its website and employs 44 people.
