I ordered a simple Chicken Tikka Masala and Dosa (tough to screw up). The dosa was $17.99 and we got a 1 dry bread, 2 tiny sauces and a portion of flavorless sambas. A LOT of money for a very simple, less-than-average dish. The Chicken Tikka was too creamy, the chicken dry and not a ton of the classic Indian flavors I am used to. I wasn't upset about the long wait since I thought I was getting a freshly made, home cooked meal. Sadly, not at all what I expected from Indian food, and I was disappointed. I guarantee the proprietors don't eat the food they serve.

This food truck is awesome. I had the jackfruit curry with a small side of white rice...also served with a few tortilla chips and some really wonderful hot relish.

The food was phenomenal, and the service really stood out. Even though I already knew what I was ordering, our waiter took the time to explain each dish, which made the experience feel welcoming and approachable. The butter chicken was absolutely amazing...so aromatic, flavorful, and one of the best I've had. It is a bit more expensive and the portions are smaller than some of the other Indian restaurants in the Albany area, but the quality, atmosphere, and service make it well worth it for a special meal or an occasional treat.

Their lunch buffet (weekdays) is 14.95 and it always includes at least 1 meat on the buffet besides chicken, which I appreciate. Most Indian buffets are chicken dishes only. I find the seasonings used here to be pleasantly well done- it is never bland/lacking in flavor and it is also (when spicy) never overwhelming/too hot to enjoy. We're very fond of Indian buffets so have been looking in this area for a while; this is the best we've found so far. Attentive servers bring water and clear plates regularly. Restaurant is very clean and well run. Enjoy it!

And flavorful it was! The chicken tikka masala sauce was packed with spice and had a lovely silky texture. Paired with the rice and naan was a bite that transported us straight to India! Not to mention, the ceremonial decor makes the entire night feel like a true, traditional dining experience. This spot is perfect for sharing and the meal was very cheap for the quantity and quality! We were also able to try their crisp veggie samosas (my absolute fav!) and their traditional gulab jamun (which they kindly provided us on the house!) The service is incredibly kind, moves swiftly, and truly makes you feel at home. Finally, I have to commend their extensive menu offering every traditional indian dish you can imagine, plus some you've probably never heard of. I can't wait to go back and try more things, this spot is the perfect place to indulge in some comfort food or branch out and try something new! I can't give this place enough praise and I'd definitely recommend you stop by whenever you get the chance! Make sure to bring your appetite, and maybe some friends and family to help out as well.

The prices are reasonable, so are the portions and the flavors always kick in the best ways! If you're looking for a no-frills, cozy and delicious place to try, I say don't skip out on Not Just Snacks. Our favorite appetizers are hands down the pani puri, honey and ginger naan, tandoori and beef kebab. The pani puri is an interactive experience, where you hollow out the shells and fill them up with ground chickpeas and spicy sauce - very flavorful and fun! The honey and ginger naan is great to cut down on spicy dishes but eating it alone is dangerous - it's too dang good! I loved the tandoori chicken, a super flavorful thigh w/crispy skin. The beef kebab was just as tasty, packed with all kinds of spices that make it a winner in my book. Now, that was just the apps! Quite consistently, I always always always order the lamb (or beef) vindaloo. I have to warn you that this dish is certainly not for the weak - spice lovers only! The tender chunks of meat pair quite well in the pool of spice, potatoes and my favorite, chilis. There is an option to pair the vindaloo with rice or naan, with my heart devoted to the former. To put in perspective how spicy the lamb vindaloo is, you'll likely need refills upon refills of water. Nonetheless, if you can REALLY handle heat, the vindaloo is made for you. I alter between lamb and beef, depending on the mood. This time around I tried the shrimp dopiaza and wheat roti. The shrimp entree was quite sweet, with 5 shrimps total. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of anything wheat, hence the roti ranked lower on my scale. Overall, Not Just Snacks holds a special place in my heart (and stomach). The family that serves us is always friendly, especially the younger gentleman. The chef often comes out to check up on us and I believe that's a very kind gesture. The woman as well always greets us with a smile.
