We have catered few times from Royal Indian Cuisine but this time decided to dine for dinner!…read moreGot seated immediately and a nice Nepali waitress welcomed us! The vibe is nothing fancy just a simple dine in Desi restaurant with Indian music on the background. Our waitress served us some masala chai and Alu Tikki on the house. ( We figured this later when the bill came. Thank you it was a nice surprise.) Since it's a Nepali owned restaurant we asked them if they had Momo and they did! So we got the chicken steam Momo with Keema Naan and Chicken Hakka Noodles. The masala and spice was less with simple flavors like any Nepali household. It was like home cooked flavors. The food was fresh and came hot. I loved the noodles and naan. The Mo:Mo was okay, like any other Nepali restaurant they were frozen and steamed later! But the chutney did the magic for Mo:Mo. We got some extra chutney for to go! Would love to come back and try some curry and Naan items. If you like Indian food with minimal spice and solid flavors, give this place a try! We didn't feel bloated or anything that night so we knew the food quality of the food was good. Good luck.

Such an amazing dinner with colleagues…read more I was in Troy for work and went out with some work-friends for dinner. Another local colleague recommended Ashoka and I'm so glad he did. Appetizers: * Samosas - warm and creamy filling; crunchy outside, just like you would expect * Paneer Pakoda - creamy and cheesy * Masala Dosa - absolutely the BEST with the sauces and soup We were stuffed after eating appetizers but pressed on! Main: * Chicken Tikka Masala - an old favorite, exactly what you want in Tikka * Utappam - fluffy savory pancake * Lamb Rogan Josh - the lamb melts away like it's been braised into submission; so perfect. * naan, rice and sauces all perfect And even though we were too stuffed to move... Dessert: * Rice Pudding - served cold and creamy * Gulab Jamison - the syrup was even made fresh! * Rasamalai - cheesy and the pistachio made it balanced A few other things: * hospitality is amazing, so kind and attentive * incredible attention to allergy, just let them know * don't be deceived...you can't walk out, it's more of a waddle ENJOY!

I've been to Neehee's many times and this visit I wanted to make sure to leave a note. This meal…read morewas a Tuesday early evening, and was my son's first visit. For a kid with sensory sensitivity, this was the perfect timing to dine in. I was a bit sad to see the restaurant so empty and hope it was largely our timing. However, I can't negate the construction and horrible economic conditions as questionable contributors. The space is vast, clean, and today was peaceful. Generally, it's a lively atmosphere, cricket and kids in the background, and lots of gathering and conversations. The staff is always friendly and warm. One of the staff made sure to come by our table to check in mid-meal. It's a simple gesture and it makes me feel warm and welcome. We ordered gobi manchurian, masala dosa, veg fried rice, a mango lassi for my son and sugar cane juice for me. My son's favorite was the masala dosa- a comforting blend of flavors and textures, sambar was absolutely scrumptious. I practically inhaled my gobi, which is one of my favorite dishes. Perfect spice/heat level, well balanced and nice crunch from the bell peppers and onions. The veg fried rice was a safe third dish in the event my son was craving something familiar, and it ended up being satisfying but our least favorite of the order. I will say it was prepared well and I love the threads of vegetables throughout. Mango lassi was a nice buffer for some of the heat for my son, and my sugar cane juice was a surprisingly savory/sweet quencher for the ride home. Oh. And a scoop of butterscotch ice cream for the boy. Overall I am a loyal Neehee's fan and look forward to many more visits.

I was worried when the parking lot was empty, but we were eating early for dinner that I blamed it on the time on a Tuesday. Now that we have tried their food, I really hope the crowds show up later because they deserve it. The food was fresh, piping hot and tasted (almost) like homemade. The aromas when you enter the restaurant let you know that they care about quality. The restaurant was set meticulously at small and large tables. The service was friendly and quick. The carryout was packed well and ready about 15 minutes after my online order. They do have a drive-thru, if that interests you. The chicken dishes were fantastic and came with Basmati. The Garlic Naan was fresh amd tasty. I am excited to branch out and try other entrees. I really hope they continue to thrive because their quality and service deserve it! If you like

Reviewing only for the Special Ramadan buffet for Iftar - March 2025…read more$20 buffet including salad, bread, many entrees including lamb and chicken, dessert, and a sweet punch. They do fill up, so recommend to call in advance for reservations especially for larger groups. I made a reservation for 6 a week in advance with no issues, once there, they were fully booked for 7:30 dinner (one seating at sundown for Ramadan) and had to turn others away. Decent food for the price and some dishes had some spice to it! It was a bit chaotic though getting seated and a very tight space to walk around, as it's so popular during the Iftar, and lots of kids too. Limited waiter service - they gave us a jug of water that we had to ask for refill- and later someone came by to collect dirty plates.

We were surprised to see a lunch bar as we have not eaten at a bar since COVID. The selections looked plentiful and delicious so we decided to try it. I filled my plate with many savory rice, vegetarian and meat dishes: The flavors were varied and wonderful. The garlic naan was made fresh when we sat down and brought to our table. It was amazing: flavorful, thin and slightly crispy. We deducted one star because the temperature of the food was not hot enough for our taste, especially for a food bar. I also thought several of the chicken dishes had too many bones though they were tasty. The staff were all attentive and pleasant. We will return and order off their regular menu.m; I'll then update my review.

Service: if I was basing the review off of service it would be a one star. Because not only was it slow, it almost felt non existent. I came here with my parents and we would've ordered more if we could get a server to our table. It's not even that big of a place, but the servers hung out by the reception area and weren't even looking up. We had to wait a while for drinks, then wait another while to order. There are a ton of other Indian restaurants that are so much more attentive, even if it's crowded, which this place was not. Ambiance: feels like they tried to be upscale, unnecessary in my opinion. Just serve good food and make sure your servers are paying attention and that's more than enough. It's not a spot I would come back to.

Newer spot to check out for us. It's in the back lot of…read moreRochester House. It is dead in here by 6pm. Oh my. It's cold in the dining area, not a big dining area. Nicely decorated, looks newer. Ordered dosa, samosa, Gobi Manchurian, chick pea salad, dal tadka and dal makhani, butter chicken, navratina korma, and Chana masala. $117.56 The Samosa, butter chicken and chick pea salad are all good. The samosa is maybe a bit too heavy and doughy. The potato and peas are mashed inside. The cilantro chutney is good, spicy too. Butter chicken is tasty. The chick pea salad is just fresh and yummy. Dosa was okay, not loving the tomato or coconut chutneys so much. Sambar soup is good. The dal makhani and Chana was not for either of us. Makhani is super buttery and runny. The Chana has a very unexpected taste and look, the sauce it's cooked in is quite brown here. The dal tadka, korma and Gobi were just okay. Both lentils are super runny. The korma isn't too bad. Their version has tofu in it. Sauce is good. Not a lot of veggies to it. Gobi was crispy, but their chili sauce is not so good. My husband usually favors the Chana masala, but he wasn't fond of their version so much. Would skip the Chana, Gobi and the dal makhani and maybe even the dal tadka next time. Service here is good.

So far we've tried the Chai, Rava Dosa, Aloo Paratha, Chole Bhature, and Onion Uttapam. Loved the chai because they add cinnamon, which is my favorite touch, but the Rava Dosa has to be my top pick so far. The restaurant itself is pretty clean and has a cozy Indian vibe compared to other Indian spots around the area. The only downside has been the service. Our server seemed pretty disinterested and like he didn't really want to be there. You could tell from his face and body language. That said, I'll definitely be back to try more items because the food is worth it, but I really hope the service improves!

Visited Authentikka for the Sunday brunch. I love brunch…read morebuffets and Indian brunch buffets are kind of rare, so was excited about this. The menu included dosa selections, Idli, Vada, pongal, poori, aloo masala curry , chicken curry, rawa kesari, tea and fruit punch. While the idli ,vada sambar and pongal were good, the poori was very oily and both the gravies tasted average. So did rawa kesari- was mango flavored which was coming on too strongly. I would give 3.5 stars only because of the live dosa counter. We tried masala dosa and chill paneer dosa and both were really good. Thanks to the dosas, the brunch didn't disappoint on a whole but left me wanting for other common breakfast items like aloo paratha,bondas,poha may be ( I will have to check if it is listed as a south indian buffet) I would recommend this place for the dosa lovers. For the dosa selection in menu especially for the price (11.99 per person), I may go back after a few months. And yes, the service was prompt and the staff very friendly which I think deserves a mention.
