Summer Palace - Sacramento, California

we did my dad’s 50th birthday from this hall and everything was amazing. The food people still rave about it. Everything was done as we requested. We didn’t have to worry about the decorations, food, security, DJ or cleaning.
The owner Charan is a nice guy. He is straight forward and is respectful.

From my experience I did not have any issues with the party. I loved how Charan and his wife do everything for everyone’s party.

Beautifully decorated and well maintain hall. Perfect for big and small event. The owner is so cooperative. They would go beyond their limits to make your event perfect and memorable for you. The food is super tasty.
I would definitely recommend to book them for your any kind of event. Sit back, relax and let them make your event enjoyable for you.

Yesterday, we went to the restaurant he opened and the food was delicious. Fish & Chips and chop suey were so good that i felt like i was eating in fiji restaurant. Also we ordered catering service for bridal shower few weeks ago which was great and he deliverd it to my home as promised on time. Years ago, we did my son's 21st bday party at the larger hall. It was awesome and fun filled. The owner was very helpful throughout the night. Great price and service in town.

Okay, I kept hearing negatives about this place so I went to try out the food which turns out to be good (How can you go wrong with Fiji Indian food right). However a few weeks ago attended my cousins function and the overall atmosphere was so disappointing, with subpar food quality, including undercooked chicken and tough lamb. The decoration fell short of expectations, and the Photo Booth being closed was an added disappointment. Additionally, the owner's intrusive monitoring of the event, seizing the mic to make announcements about the food supply and bar, detracted from the celebratory atmosphere. Overall, it was a letdown for such an important occasion. I believe they are good with table orders and not capable of doing 100+ parties be it birthdays, graduations, engagement, wedding and/or receptions.
The owner speaks highly of himself but don't fall for it

My experience at Summer Palace was beyond disappointing. Not only was the food below standard, but the owner Charan Singh's behavior was unacceptable, as he took the mic and yelled at my guests and mishandled situations. There were overcharges made the night before the event and yet services paid for were not provided. Additionally, the bartenders failed to enforce age restrictions, only to complain later, the servers were unprofessional, bumping into guests, eating while serving and grabbing food without gloves. The unhygienic state of the kitchen is concerning, reflecting poorly on the venue's standards.

Not only that, Summer Palace claim of being 'all-inclusive' turned out to be a sham, as crucial services like DJ, photography, decoration, security, and bartenders were suddenly excluded at the last minute, despite previous assurances. This forced us to pay out of pocket for services we were led to believe were included. His DJ, failed to deliver on his reputation, playing outdated songs and mishandling key moments of the event. His exorbitant fee of $1500 was not justified by his lackluster performance (we were not allowed to use a different DJ because it was "all inclusive")

Aa a bride, I expected my big day to be filled with joy, but my experience at Summer Palace was nothing short of stressful. Despite clear instructions, decorations were not executed as requested, and the Photo Booth, a highlight for many, was disappointingly marked closed for a significant portion of the party. The lack of security measures is deeply concerning, as our gift box was tampered with during the event. This level of incompetence and disregard for the client's wishes is utterly unacceptable.

Thankfully, our own photographer and videographer provided a silver lining to an otherwise disastrous occasion. I cannot emphasize enough how deeply unsatisfied I am with the misleading practices and subpar service. Overall, a thoroughly unpleasant experience. I strongly advise against trusting this venue with such an important occasion.
Behind the scenes, the owner Charan singh and his wife employed manipulative tactics to secure our contract, including offering free food, sugar-coating deals, and promising discounts on future events. However, when it came time to formalize the agreement, he failed to provide a copy of the contract as promised. Despite our demands, we were met with excuses and delays, with the owner's wife suggesting we 'stop by any day' to collect it. This lack of transparency and accountability reflects poorly on the integrity of the establishment.

It is evident that Singh lacks integrity. Instead of addressing shortcomings within his own establishment, he chooses to denigrate competitors and fellow professionals in the industry. This speaks volumes about his character and the toxic environment he fosters. Potential clients should be wary of such underhanded tactics and seek out venues with a commitment to honesty and professionalism.

What’s worse is that now he is threatening/harassing our families and wanting us to remove our review. How about refunding what was charged last minute?
Or returning our special moments that he ruined?

I had my Sangeet Night on July 29th, and it was the best night ever! All the delicious food, presentation of food, all the decorations was so perfect. Huge thank you to Mrs. Singh for making the whole place look like a Bollywood Movie, it was so perfect. My husband and I highly recommend this banquet hall to everyone. Our family and friends could not stop talking about how beautiful everything looked and how amazing the whole evening went. With the awesome dance floor we all danced the whole night away. Great job Summer Palace!!

Anyone who decides to hold a venue here has to be out of their god dam mind. When considering venues for any event, be it a wedding, corporate gathering, or celebration, the ambiance and service provided by the venue play a crucial role in the overall experience. Unfortunately, the Summer Palace falls drastically short in this regard, primarily due to the overbearing and intrusive behavior of its owner, which significantly detracts from any event hosted there.

One of the most egregious issues with the Summer Palace is the owner's propensity to interject himself into the proceedings of the event. Whether it be a wedding toast, a corporate presentation, or a simple gathering of friends, the owner seems incapable of resisting the urge to seize the microphone and impose his presence upon the attendees. This not only disrupts the flow of the event but also undermines the purpose of the gathering, shifting the focus away from the intended program and onto the owner's self-indulgent ramblings.

If you're considering dining at Summer Palace, be forewarned: what you see isn't always what you get. Despite promising to handle certain expenses, the owner, Charon Singh, conveniently forgets his commitments once the contract is signed, leaving customers to foot the bill. Like we had to pay the dj and the video photographer even tho in the “contract by words of agreement” he said it will be covered.

Adding insult to injury, Charon Singh's intimidation tactics, employing a security guard to belittle and intimidate dissatisfied customers, only further solidify the shady practices rampant at Summer Palace.

For those seeking an enjoyable dining experience devoid of deceit and subpar offerings, it's best to steer clear of Summer Palace and its dubious owner. Your taste buds and wallet will thank you
