You can't rely on the steam table to warm up the food, it needs to be already hot before you serve it. Botulism just waiting to happen. The bathrooms are very dirty. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is nice.

We stopped by here on the way back from Niagara Falls. We were happy to find some Indian food after…read morea few days of traveling in that part of the country. What was even better was that restaurant stays open till 11 pm, which was nice as we saw most places closed by 9-10 pm in upstate NY. Food 4/5 : we ordered veg manchurian, daal, paneer dishes and roti. We thought the flavors were good and authentic. The food also tasted fresh. We took some of the left over food home and realized in the morning that the food had a lot more oil than what we generally use for cooking. We were also a bit surprised as it seemed like everything including paneer was cooked in oil even though we offered to a pay bit extra and requested if they can cook in limited ghee instead Service 5/5 : the owner and the server were very nice. They had recently opened the restaurant at this location and food recommendations by the owner were very good. Ambiance 5/5 : it was clean and well maintained. Nothing to complain Will recommend stopping by as there weren't a lot of Indian restaurants in that area and the flavors here were quite authentic

Between the incorrect order and the poor customer service, this experience was extremely disappointing. I will not be ordering from here again.

If you're sick and tired of chain restaurants and fast food and always hoping something unique will pop up that actually tastes amazing -- this is it. Take your time when you come here. If the chef has a moment, talk with him and listen to how he describes each dish and where he learned to make it. He lights up when he talks about his food, and you can tell he's proud of the awards he's earned. I wish I were in town longer. I ate every bite as slowly as I could, then ordered another dish to go because there are so many great options. I had the Rahm Schnitzel and the Pasta Carbonara -- you can't go wrong. Everything is made from scratch, so it takes a little time, but it's more than worth it. I even tried to tip him and he wouldn't let me -- in today's economy! What a genuine guy. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll definitely be stopping by. Best of luck! -- Kenny

This was our first time trying Halal Bites, and it was excellent! The prices were very reasonable,…read morethe staff was friendly, and the flavors were on point. We ordered falafel on rice with salad, a chicken shawarma/lamb/falafel combo with rice and salad and a chicken shawarma/lamb combo for leftovers. All of the meats were perfectly cooked - juicy and flavorful. In particular, the rice paired with chicken or lamb and the white seasoning sauce was delightful. The fresh vegetables in the salad were refreshing and a lovely compliment to the meat and rice. Halal Bites is easy to recommend. For low carb lovers, just order the salad option and skip the rice. Stop in if you haven't tried it!

But the Red Dot seems to nail every single dish. We started with the multigrain vegan waffle with fresh fruit and loved it! So clean and flavorful, with perfectly ripe fruit. I do think the fruit should have been included, because it would have been a bit plain without it. Next, we had the ancient grains kitchari which was incredible. We loved all the fresh vegetables perfectly cooked, adding a variety of textures and flavors. It is offered as mild, medium, or hot; we got hot, which was great but not overly spicy, and we might request extra spicy next time. Lastly, we got the breakfast paratha wrap filled with their incredible tofu scramble. We were so impressed by how non-greasy it was (both the paratha and the scramble). We are always looking for food that isn't overly salty or oily, which is hard to find, but the Red Dot managed to do everything perfectly. Also major props to their masala chai, made super fresh with your choice of milk. The soy milk was creamy and pleasantly sweet and it didn't even require adding sugar. So rare to find vegan masala chai. The food takes fairly long to come out, but we felt it was worth it because of how delicious everything was; we also appreciated the generous portions. I think we have found one of our new favorite restaurants!

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!!

After taking some neighborhood streets, we arrived at the location and parked in their small lot. There was room for perhaps for 6-7 cars. Each space was labeled for whether it was for the restaurant or not. Entering, we were greeted and seated. We had about 1 hour and 14 minutes before boarding, so the staff were very accommodating and pointed out what could be made quickly (basically everything except their tandoori). They also answered questions about gluten. We ended up getting aloo tikki chaat and a lamb shank masala. They provided chickpea flour crisps with mint-cilantro and tamarind chutney. They also brought us their complimentary chai tea, which was very nice and satisfying. Their chaat was well-balanced, gluten-free (the crispies are made with chickpea flour), and it had pomengranate, chickpeas, and potatoes. The pile was dressed with yogurt, tamarind chutney, and mint chutney. Their lamb shank masala came bone-in with the curry sauce surrounding it. The lamb was well cooked, and mostly moist and tender, though there were parts that were dry. Both dishes were well-adorned, which was a nice touch. Best of all, however, was how exemplary all the staff were at the restaurant. They exuded a wonderful calmness and hospitality. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Syracuse.

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 wish they have curries of this quality around where I live as well.
