We were looking for a non-fish fry alternative for Fridays in Lent and decided to try an Indian restaurant. We liked it so much the first time that we went again the following week. The food was absolutely delectable, and the portions were very generous. The presentation is striking, and the ambiance is upscale. The service could stand to be improved, though: the first time, the waiter kept confusing my sparkling water with my companion's tap water; the second, after the food arrived, no one stopped by for a very long time to see if we needed anything (and we were parched). Both times, the dishes were not taken away in time. But the food is simply outstanding, in my opinion, the best Indian food in town.

Great selection of food from all over India. Had their lunch buffet along with some masala chai. Loved the vegetarian options and the variety of cuisine. Must visit if you are in the Albany area.

Me and my roommates went there on last Saturday to have dinner. As all three of us belong to South Asian Countries, so we preferred to have Indian food. One of us chose to have Mysore Masala Dosa and the rest chose Chicken Faal and Vegetable Vindaloo. Rice was served alongwith the dishes and it’s enough for both of us. We also ordered Mango Lassi and Chaye (tea). The lassi was good and as I felt thirsty I drank all of it at once. The taste of Chicken faal was good as it seemed to me cheese was also put in spices and also the chicken was well cooked but it's a spicy dish. Vegetable Vindaloo was one of it's kind spicy! It was so much for me that we just couldn’t have it further after one spoon. So if you are not well accustomed to have much spicy food then please just avoid this dish. I felt really uncomfortable after having it and my health didn’t do well. But the ambience and overall food experience was good and the staffs were really well mannered and kind. For the next time I would love to have Dosa from here as my friend told it was really good, be it in texture or size or be it about taste. Thank you!

Came here after a long day of hiking to order food for lunch the next day, and they didn't have a la Carte but buffet The buffet was great and had a great variety. I'm vegetarian and had many options to eat... Was very satisfied. The only reason we wanted a la Carte was to get spicier levels for the meals since buffet is for the average person. My fiends who ate the meat options also loved it. On the day we visited, they had atekast 5 curries, breakfast stuff and pakora for appetizers. Was very happy with experience. Definitely book in advance since the line was huge at 12p
