First time being in a restaurant where you are charged for water.
SPICY MINT REVIEWS FREE
The water is served in water bottles and no such thing as free refill here. The male waitor was more concerned with cleaning the buffet area instead of checking in on the guests or taking away finished plates from table. The female staff waitress was not attentive. My friend witnessed some disturbing behavior with the kitchen employee who wore same gloves in the bathroom, didn't wash hands, and never put new gloves on before handling the food again. They also don't have any beef items on the menu (only Indian restaurant I've seen that doesn't). If it weren't for the Groupon I wouldn't have come to try this spot because the menu items are overpriced. The food was okay and the Groupon made it worth it in the end. And to boot, he charged me for 4 bottles when we only had 2. This wasn't my issue, being told upon giving me the water is when I want to be told there is an associated cost. I know the good people of Albany can't see this as the standard for Indian Cuisine.ĪLSO - the checker took the water off after he tried to argue with me about COVID and the need to give bottled water. There has to be better Indian Cuisine in Albany - surely!ĭo yourself a favor and try some other great joints in town. The Chai was good ALTHOUGH I had asked for it to NOT have any sugar. Although he wasn't the guy who ran the nightclub style music (poor choice of music for a dining establishment btw) Highlights were the waiter, who was pleasant. Like it was from a bottle and then watered down again. The mint chutney tasted watered down and bland. We ordered Gobi Manchurian, the sauce was overly sweet and the dish was soggy - reminiscent of precooked and microwaved style meals.ħ.

We ordered Samosa Chaat, a fave we order in every city we go to - struggled to find the Samosa and had insufficient toppings.Ħ. Also didn't have sufficient toppings which is typical when you order this dish.ĥ.

We ordered Pani Puri, didn't match the images on the website. When water is placed on the table, and it is bottled water, and the waiter and host DO NOT tell you they will charge you for it - I have a problem.Ĥ. When you pay for food in the non buffet dining hours, there is an expectation the quality increases as do the prices.ģ.

The food is less than buffet level food at bestĢa. I would say I am well versed in Indian food, cook it at home, eaten it my entire life, have visited India - with all of that said here is my frank review of this establishment.Ģ. They could improve a bit by keeping the food hot/warm. They had a mint, cinnamon cooler which was just watery, no taste. Chicken kebabs were cold hence a little dry in taste.įor desserts, gulab jamun was good whereas rasgulla was super dry and hard. Chaat items were terribly cold as if they were taken right out of the fridge. While the food tasted good, all the fried items were cold and had become soggy. Naan was served on the table.Ĭhicken Manchurian was good, chicken Tikka masala a little too sweet. The dessert station had 6-7 varieties of sweets including but not limited to gulab jamun, rasgulla, pineapple mousse etc. It began with papdi, samosa Chaat, chicken Manchurian and fried rice, chicken biryani, several varieties of kebabs, fish vindaloo, chicken Tikka masala, prawns fry, onion bhajiya, idli medu vada sambar, bhindi masala, chana masala, veg biryani etc. They gave us plastic gloves to serve food, cleanliness was maintained.
