Seemed like the worker didnt care much and just slapped it to the ground and stepped on it. Very disappointing. We opted to toss the food and get sandwiches. Super disappointing.

I've been introduced to Karam's food by a coworker who spoke very highly of the food, and so far…read morethe two experiences were facilitated by that coworker while I have yet to come here myself. I do hear that they only do takeaways and there's no tables or chairs. The chicken Tikka masala curry has been a big hit both times, and the enjoyment of the incredibly rich and creamy sauce and flavourful chicken keep me from wondering about the calorie count = it's THAT good. I look forward to trying any number of things on my list off their menu, including biryani and samosa.

Right off the bat, this restaurant is technically in the same building as Karam Asian Grocery &…read moreHalal Meat but it has a separate entrance on the Willow Avenue side. Another thing - ambiance is not on the menu. I counted about 8 chairs altogether, semi scattered between 2 tables...but it's not about that, it's about the food. The food is very good, hitting all the comfort food vibes. It's also offered at a bargain price. Garlic naan and chicken tikka - slightly crisp and smoky on the outside and light (naan) or tender and juicy (chicken) on the inside. The tandoor oven and the experience of the cooks crafted those dishes to a very high level. The palak paneer seemed plain at first but subtler spicing came through the more I consumed/shoveled it in my mouth. I love places like this. Pretentiousness is nowhere in sight. There's a hardworking honesty to the place and they feed their clientele well made and generous portions.

These are the same chefs who ran the kitchen at both Sitar (Colonie) and Zaika (Clifton Park). We had some of our usual favorites, which were great, but the star is always the Reshmi Masala. We visited two days after they opened. They're still getting settled, but there were no significant issues unlike most places just getting going. I look forward to trying their buffet during lunch or over the weekend!

The rest of the area is occupied by the order counter, kitchen, 2 beverage coolers, and a freezer filled with popsicles. Despite that, it certainly punches above its weight. The service is quick and pleasant. The serving sizes are generous. The food is fine. The brown rice is subtly spiced. I think the lamb is a shawarma mixture (a bit of breadcrumbs and fillers added along with warm spices). The rice plates are filling. The falafel gyro hit the spot. Crunchy and soft with a little bit of lettuce and veggies topped with "white" sauce and/or a mild or hot sauce. Mango lassi (yogurt and milk or water mixed with a sweetener) was tooth achingly sweet...I cut it with water to make about 3 servings. More for me! I love places like this...a place where the proprietors anticipate the needs of their community (chicken wings/ generous portions), while also providing a space where they can represent their own food culture.

There's great ambiance in the booths and tables, to sit in the corner for privacy, room for groups, a welcoming bar, and even a few nice tables out front (albeit in the parking lot, but still more than most places can say). The cocktails also aren't bad and the Thai food is great. Sushi has been enjoyable too. Last night we did pick up, and the pad see u was saucy and delicious and ready in 15 min.

The family enjoys Indian/Pakistani food locally, especially at Karavalli, Spice Malabar, and Shalimar in Latham. We think this food was as good as we have had there. A few dishes were even better.
