I was on a visit to Colgate university when I tried this restaurant. It was the best Indian curry I…read morehad in my life. I had the fish curry with bread and rice. Everything was seasoned and flavored strongly. The bread was really tasty. The restaurant was also quiet with fast service. We had a large party but the food was served really fast. I strongly recommend if you are visiting the college town. The town itself is a little bit sad with few stores open. It felt like an old movie. So I was really surprised to find something this tasty. I wish they have curries of this quality around where I live as well.

This review probably shouldn't be a solid 5 stars but you have to grade on a curve, because who…read morewould expect Indian food this good in a place like Cooperstown? So much Indian food outside major metropolitan centers in the US is either terribly underflavored, in a sad attempt to level down to provincial palates, or by contrast overspiced, in the equally ridiculous assumption that you convey authenticity via sheer capsicum, that one approaches a place like this warily. And yet what you have here is delicately-calibrated sauces, food in which you can actually taste individual seasonings and savor their interactions, the way it's supposed to be! Samosas are fresh, crunchy crispy crust rather than the doughy glop for which we so frequently settle, and rice is perfectly fluffy. Lunch servings are just the right size - not the gargantuan american portions that let you know how dubious is the quality of the meat (margins can only be maintained on those stupid portion sizes by sacrificing quality). I won't say this place would get 5 stars in London or Chicago but it's well worth your time if you're in Cooperstown instead.

On the bright side, the buffet did entitle me to a platter of fresh mini-dosas, which had a bit of potato masala inside and some chutneys, but no sambar. The buffet was about half vegetarian, more if you count the salad bar. Their website insists they don't used canned vegetables or the like, but the freshness of salad was not great. Of the items they had on the vegetarian side, most had dairy. For me, probably a three star buffet. Come for the fresh dosas. Those were good.

My family and I drove upstate this weekend and we decided to stop by The Tulip and Rose for lunch…read more We were excited for a good meal as we always pass by the cafe but missed their open hours. The waitress initially seemed friendly and came to take our drinks orders. I mentioned to her we are also ready to order food. She put on a stern face and started wagging her fingers in front of of my face and said " that is not how we do it here, you ordered drink first and I'll come back later to take your food orders. There are 7 people ahead of you and the chef has to cook for them first". I was stunned and shocked to hear such mean response! If I was alone, I'd march out of the restaurant immediately but my family was there so I stayed and tried to keep my cool. Every process took sooooo long from ordering drinks, drinks came, ordering food, food came then another big disappointed moment- the hyped up fish and chips with greasy battered, mushy fish and filled with ammonia scent as in spoiled fish. Overall, it was a very bad experience. On a good note, we can now say- never again The Tulip and Rose.

The Chili Pakora didn't travel terribly well- two bits of advice about that. 1. Only get it to go if you can pick it up right away, and live close by, and 2. It's QUITE spicy, and that's saying a lot, coming from me. I'm so happy to find good Indian food in the area, and will be sure to come back. A lot of the vegetarian dishes look really tempting, and the chicken dishes, as well.

She was looking for advice from me, but I was very happy when the owner came by and said he could select our food and we trusted him.He asked us a few questions about spice level, proteins, etc. He said he would bring us an appetizer, a chicken entree and a vegetable entree. He also brought us 2 hot chai drinks. We agreed it was the best chai we've ever had....it was mildly sweet and the spices were perfect. We were brought as an appetizer...fried cauliflower with a Manchurian sauce which was sweet, mildly spicy and a touch sour..... perfect. We got 4 beautiful veggie balls..... finely minced veggies with paneer in a very creamy sauce. The taste was a little sweet and when eaten on the super hot and fresh naan it was delicious. Our last dish was chicken kebabs, I believe made in the tandoori oven with spices and served with a beautiful sweet, creamy tomato sauce. We didn't ask for dessert but we're brought a complementary rice pudding to share... heavenly! We were checked on several times and water glasses were kept filled. We are both big water drinkers. I was so impressed with both service and food. If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would do it!!
