I've never eaten here in person but have ordered delivery and take out multiple times and feel that the portion sizes are well worth the cost. My recommendations absolutely include the Saffron Special Biriyani which was incredibly flavorful and had SO MUCH different proteins in it and the Lamb Shank Masala. I'm used to many places only giving the lamp shank and nothing else but Raj Saffron House gives lamb shank with multiple pieces of lamb as well. It was incredibly delicious and tender. The chicken saag and the lamb karahi are also tasty! Best Indian food in cuse!

It came out quickly and it was delicious and fresh. We had enough for leftovers the next day. The pricing seemed reasonable for what you get. My only criticism is I think there were only two servers working that night and it did get busy. We had to grab someone to ask for a second drink when we were almost finished eating. But it wasn't that big a deal. We both said we would certainly go back. I am interested to see what they offer for the lunch buffet.

Flavor of India is tucked into a little corner of East Syracuse and you'd miss it if you weren't looking. Staff was friendly and sat us right in front of the fire place on a chilly 20 Degree night. The food took about 15 to 20 minutes and was hot, fresh and flavorful with requests to us on our spice level which I went spicy and didnt regret it (but my body might have) lol. The Biryani portion for $17 was definetly enough for 2 meals and I felt full from about half of it thought that might have been the capsacin. The garlic chili Nana was very interesting because in one bite it cut the heat from my biryani but then hit me with chili and the spice came back. About $50 for 2 people w/ 2 entrees, naan, and water. A little pricier than what you might want for just 2 people but the food's taste and size make up for it. Would definetly go back.

Beer recommendation: too many to list (That is a very good…read morething) A mix of very positive experiences muddled by the occasional menu item that shouldn't even bother be offered, this is a much appreciated redo of the World of Beer. A menu full of takes on classic American fare run through a different flavor profile, and it maintains the large and excellent beer selection of this spaces previous tenant. Take their menu, full of fusion into dishes like their garbage plate and flatbreads that feel unique in this area and still fit the expectation of the originals. Then there is the occasional misfire, like the vindaloo cheesesteak that looks like some premade microwaved slices on a bad roll. This has been pretty good, but if you find something like the cheesesteak, try something else. That's the weird part, for a place with excellent service, an amazing selection of beers, and an experience which places it well above other Destiny locations like Bullfinch and other generic options in the new expansion (it should always be a bad sign for a site when Cheesecake Factory is in the short list of better options to eat at like Karma and the wildly overrated Bullfinch); it needs to have a solid menu top to bottom, don't make us find out what things are crap. It's tough enough to handle the noise in there even when it isn't busy. Overall, really good spot, but a few changes to remove the dead matter will make this the only option in Destiny worth anything. ANYTHING. Do not settle, if you want food and/or beer at Destiny, this is the place

I ordered a spicy chicken tikka masala and it was very flavorful with plenty of rice. The chili naan I got was also very tasty. Everything was hot and fresh. It definitely changed my mind about this place. They do offer a buffet but I prefer to order off the menu and they had no issue with that.

The staff were so welcoming & friendly. Very important note here- they are located upstairs in the building they are in. You'll see an entrance on the street but you have to go upstairs to get to the restaurant. Very beautiful view from the windows. We got two meals that we shared & an absolutely spectacular starter. My biggest appreciation was the fantastic flavors. Every bite I took (even of the rice) was seasoned & popped with flavor. The plates came with fresh lemon that was the perfect addition to squeeze over our meals. We had fresh herby sauces that also came with the meals that I couldn't get enough of. Fantastic meal & we will be going back. I'll also make sure to actually write down what we ordered!

Surprisingly good. Lamb was hiding inside of the mountain of rice. The owner lady told me, Afghanistan food is similar to Indian food. The difference is the ginger part. indian uses ginger, the other don't. Indian food is spicy, the other is not. Friendly service.

Alright sooo, this place is likely the worst Indian food that I've ever had (and also poor…read moreservice). This was my last dinner in Syracuse before left the next morning (work trip) and was I disappointed... Off the bat, it took 5+ minutes for someone to come seat me, even though the "restaurant" was empty, save for one table. I got seated in the corner, which I don't mind, but it definitely felt weird considering all the other, more comfortable seating choices available. After what seemed like forever, I was able to order the Chicken Biryani, pretty standard Indian fare, and mango lassi. After another considerable wait, I received my "biryani" and lassi. Starting off with the positives: the lassi tasted like a lassi. The negatives: the biryani felt like it was made earlier and put in the microwave...gross. The rice on top was warm and the inside were cold. The chicken was rubbery and inedible. I attempted to eat the rice, which strongly tasted of cumin and pepper and nothing else, but could not keep going. Needless to say, I didn't need a box. Overall, food 0/5, service 1.5/5, ambiance 2/5. If you want any kind of decent tasting food, look elsewhere!

Very good Indian food at reasonable prices. We ordered sag paneer, Bhaigan Bhartha, a chicken tikka…read morepizza, and garlic naan. The sag was rich and very flavorful. The bhaigan bhartha (eggplant) was spiced perfectly. All dishes come in three different heat levels; mild, medium, and hot. The garlic naan was excellent with a great aroma. The tikka pizza missed a little bit. Very good crust (I believe it was naan). The chicken tikka on top was of top quality. But, it lost it with the mozzarella and tomato sauce. I was expecting a sauce more reminiscent of the sauce that comes with chicken tikka masala, like I've had on other Indian pizzas. Just some Indian spices mixed into the sauce. Not a killer, just something to avoid next time. And, they have over 10 different Indian ice cream flavors.

Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. No wait…read more The space is cool highlighted by a spiral staircase in the middle of the dining room you'll need to climb to reach the restroom. My partner ordered a mango lassi which she enjoyed. For starters we had Tandoori Wings, Vegan Samosas, and Fish 65. Kind of a mixed bag. The wings were easily the best of the three. They were coated in some sort of seasoning rub/sauce which added a lot of flavor but prevented them from being crispy despite appearances. I would get these again. The vegan samosas were very dry and lacking flavor. The fish 65 was just meh. Strips of fish fried in oil that needed to be changed. Wouldn't get either of those two again. Interestingly, all three apps came with the same sauce on the side. For entrees my partner had Chicken Biryani and Rosemary Naan which she enjoyed and came with a good portion size. I had the lamb pepper fry. My dish was very tasty but very spicy. I have a good spice tolerance so it wasn't a problem but I would caution people ordering this dish. Portion size was small. I would've been hungry if not for the appetizers. Our server was excellent. Very cordial and welcoming. Great guy. Unfortunately he might have been the best part of the meal. I may be back, maybe not. Try it out for yourself though.

They have a large menu with popular items that Americans can expect, and more traditional authentic Indian cuisine. I really enjoyed the Chettinad chicken, which was nice and spicy (but not overpowering) with a complex, warm flavor profile.

Service was friendly and fast, and the space is really cool, with stone walls and a spiral staircase. The restaurant is relatively new to Syracuse, and I wish them a long and successful run. I'll definitely be back!
