There is an all you can eat buffet, but we ordered from the menu: spinach pakora and masala dosa. The sambar with the dosa was chock full of all kinds of vegetables. The pakora was freshly made as was the dosa. Both were top notch. The mango lassi wasn't huge but was superb. The new owners are hardworking and enterprising. This isn't on any restaurant row, but well worth a stop as you cruise down Central Ave. It's right across from Lia Honda. Highly recommended.

This is always my favourite Indian place in Albany, but that isn't saying much because there's not a lot of good Indian food outside New York City, within New York state that is. Having said that, it's not bad. I've been here on two occasions, both of them for dine-in. We always enjoyed everything, and while prices aren't cheap, they're about in line with other Indian places in Upstate New York. If they had a bit of a more British-Indian menu I would probably go to 5 - or if they were little cheaper. As for the bug incident, I have tremendous solidarity with the woman who got lied to and misled and I think the restaurant should do a much better job handling that, and I feel bad for her in the way they treated her. About being lied to, not about the bug. But I also see it from the other side. My opinion is quite different. Bugs are everywhere. They massively outnumber every human. They're in everything, they're on everything. Eating bugs is really not going to do much harm. There's no place that's truly clean, and the cleaner we try to make it clean with is more dangerous than bugs and dirt by miles, because it's the chemicals we use to clean that cause infinitely more diseases than the stuff we're cleaning up. I travel to countries with amazing food around the world that don't have anywhere near these supposed cleanliness standards of America and it does us no harm, believe me. We really need to just get over it and if we find a bug or hair or whatever, just shrug and throw it out and maybe throw that portion out if you must, give it to animals or something, a homeless person, and get on with our lives. Because cooking in our own kitchens, there is every chance there's been bugs in our food too, at home. In fact I've seen it happen in many places. A lot of cultures even eat bugs and it's a delicacy so it really shouldn't be that big of a deal. So it might be gross but don't go ape on a place and change it to 1 star over a damn bug. Bad service, maybe, sure, but I'm not sure what more they should be expected to do than offering free replacements an extra sides. And posting pictures of bugs to the listing of a family restaurant for me is ethically wrong but each their own. The ethical problem is that Yelp will often make this the top picture. No idea why because this is bordering on bringing down a little local business and a livelihood, because a bug ended up in their food. I guarantee a bug has ended up in every dish at every restaurant across the world on several occasions, so whatever. First world problems are what make me puke.

They didn't hold back, as I requested. The vindaloo had great flavor, in addition to the spice, and the chicken was not dry at all. They also gave a nice helping of rice pilaf. The Roti was spot on and not too oily. The family was incredibly friendly and service was prompt. You order inside at the register and they bring your food to you. The only issue I had is that the place needs some serious maintenance. The bathrooms inside were not well cared for. That's the only reason I had to take off a star. Definitely worth visiting, as long as you don't need a bathroom. Remember to tip well.
