This was my first time having Indian food from a restaurant and I genuinely cannot believe what…read moreI've been missing. Everything was absolutely incredible -- fresh, piping hot, packed with flavor, and so well seasoned. The masala dosa was amazing: perfectly crisp with the savory potato filling, and it came with coconut chutney, a spicier chutney, and sambar on the side, which gave every bite a completely different flavor. I'm so glad the sambar came with the dosa because it was delicious and tied everything together. The chicken was also so good -- juicy, flavorful, spicy, and came out incredibly hot and fresh. Nothing tasted heavy or like it had been sitting around; everything tasted like it had just been made. They do have quite a few vegan/vegetarian options on the menu if you're into that. The amount of flavor and depth in every bite was unreal. I was literally sitting there smacking my teeth because it was that good . Easily one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I'm already excited to come back and work my way through the rest of the menu. Absolutely worth it!

I decided to give this spot a try and ordered through a delivery service. (Truth be told, I dread…read morefinding parking on Marshall Street, even if it is easier in the summer than when the college is in session.) I ordered the paneer 65 and mutter mushroom. When my order came, it only had the paneer. The receipt on the bag had only the paneer on it, so I'm assuming it was on the restaurant's end. I can understand if they were out of that item, but they made no attempt to contact me and let me know and ask if I wanted to substitute something else. I later called the delivery service and they refunded me, no hassle, but still, this was a major bummer. By the time my food came, I was headed into a meeting and it was too late to order something else-- plus, I wasn't about to pay double delivery fees. I was really looking forward to this meal so it was a bummer that it wasn't what I was expecting, and there seemed to be no attempt at contact. The paneer was ok, but the flavor was a bit on the sour side and I wouldn't call it the best Indian food I've ever had. I'd be willing to give this spot a second try eventually but I'm not running back here after a bit of a letdown.

If you live near Syracuse University or work in the area near Upstate University Hospital, the VA…read moreor Crouse Hospital then you must be familiar with the Royal Indian Grill on 147 Marshall Street. Most notably, they serve a lunch buffet during the week that costs less than $13 and is bar none the best value for your money. I often partake in the take-out buffet during the weekdays and can't deny that its the best option for when I am really hungry and want a satisfying meal. The staff are associated with other well known Indian restaurants in the area (The Clay Oven and the Dosa Grill to name a couple) as denoted by their various polo shirts with the named establishments screen printed on the chest. On various days, I have experienced questionable attitudes from the wait staff but, most of time, I don't dine-in so my experience in this regard is not very reliable. But, be forewarned that some previous reviews have criticized the customer service of the staff and called it into question on more than a few occasions. The buffet has a wide variety of options available and they try to mix up the entrees beyond the usual Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry and Tandoori Chicken. On Fridays, they sometimes serve Fish Masala which is a personal favorite of mine. There are also a wide variety of vegetarian and vegan options as well beyond the salad bar. In fact, if you ever consider converting to a vegetarian diet, Indian cuisine is the way to go. The variety of options consisting of chick peas, cabbage, cauliflower, potatoes, eggplant, okra, lentils and cheese are so expertly prepared with herbs and spices that make any traditional Indian dishes absolutely delicious. If you are new to Indian cuisine you can feel confident in the knowledge that the spice levels are very mild (unless you specifically request a certain level of spiciness). Overall, its a great and affordable experience for any foodie who enjoys fragrant cuisine highlighted by herbs and spices that aren't overbearing. The buffet is all-you-can-eat and the to-go option is very filling. This is my go-to option for anytime I am famished and just want something delicious that always leaves me satisfied. You owe it to yourself to try this out. And the price point will never disappoint. What have you got to lose?

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

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!
