Flavors Indian Restaurant just off Main Street in the heart of Canandaigua is quite the find for…read moreIndian cuisine in the Finger Lakes region. It is located in an older strip mall that has seen better days. The interiors are a bit dark and could use brighter lighting. While the inside isn't fancy, the restaurant was still well decorated and clean, and most importantly, serves up tasty and flavorful food. They also have an array of Indian snacks and drinks available for purchase/take out, which was a nice touch because they probably aren't readily available in the general area. To start off, we went with the vegetable bhajia (3.5/5) which were good, but would have preferred they made them a little crispier. For meals, we went the paneer makhani and vegetable muglai (both 4.5/5). Both dishes had gravies of high quality, which I wasn't expecting in the Finger Lakes area, as they could go toe to toe with quality Indian restaurants you find in the NJ/PA area. The naan (5/5) was fluffy and delicious as well. The service (I think by the owner) was warm and friendly. There weren't many customers which had us concerned a bit, but he explained that most of the restaurants in Canandaigua have an early dinner crowd and also tend to close early as most locals don't dine out very late. They do automatically add an 18% service charge, which we didn't mind as prices for everything were very reasonable and we probably would have tipped more than that anyway cause of the satisfying experience. Overall, I'd the restaurant a 4.5 out of 5, and would recommend Flavors for quality Indian cuisine in Canandaigua. I wouldn't hesitate to return here for a meal should my travels bring me back to the Finger Lakes.

After long days of classes and late nights studying, their food was always something to look forward to.

Even now, I still remember how reliably satisfying every meal was, which says a lot years later.

(14.99 per person)Would be fantastic for lunch breaks and meetings. I chose a buffet because my BF had never eaten Indian food. I wanted him to try a little bit of anything. He thought it was good. He tried everything, but he wasn't overly impressed. He is also a huge meat and potatoes guy. I really didn't expect him to impressed. I just enjoyed seeing him try something new. I am from another area, that had amazing Indian food. The Indian Buffett, I am used to, is very large and the restaurant was always filled with Indian people, which is rare was because people from India, very rarely go out to eat their homeland food. I think it spoiled me. Because this was not even close. But also the price was half of what I would have paid. I was happy with it, to satisfy a craving. But I am going to try other Indian restaurants to compare. It's a great deal, and if you are unsure if you like Indian food, this is a good way to try a little bit of something, to see if the flavors are for you, without spending a lot of money. Makes me wonder if their dinner and weekend selections are different, hmmm! That thought literally just came to me. lol I did feel like it was more for vegetarians, and I highly recommend it for Vegetarians. Many of the foods were meat free. The rest were all chicken. The service was excellent. They were very nice, and it is owned by a small business was owner from Nepal. I love supporting our local immigrant businesses, as well as black owned businesses. I enjoyed it, and will go back. But this is my first Indian restaurant I've tried in Rochester, so I have no idea how it compares to the others in the area. I also might go back and order off the menu. I would have loved a biryani. Maybe some goat if on the menu. Also, I may have missed it, but I do not recall seeing anything sweet. India has some amazing sweet treats. The restaurant was lovely, its decorations were pretty and on point. I loved our table, we had a small table away from others and by the window. It gave it more of a lunch date vibe. We had fun. Our server was very nice, and made sure we enjoyed ourselves. It's a nice place and I recommend giving it a try.

The food was incredibly flavorful, there's rice at the bottom and it was plentiful.

This review is for the buffet thus I cannot attest to the a la carte options. Pro: unlimited chai. Con: somewhat small selection of menu for which the food was not particularly memorable, mostly oily. Service was otherwise ok. for those not exposed much to Nepali/Indian food, a good option to pique your tastebuds. For those experienced with Nepali-Indian, quite watered in flavor, too and too much sugar in their savory dishes. Chai: the only good thing amongst their dishes to be honest. Would rather spend my buffet money sitting here drinking this for 2 hours reading a book and just skip the meal. The butter chicken had too much sugar. This seems to be a trend across the US in American-Indian buffets catering to the American taste buds. This was disappointing but at least the sauce was fun to dip for your naan. Chick pea dish- a curry like dish with bell pepper undertows. Fried fish dish- think a fish fry with some veggies. Definitely a heavier dish. Fried rice- an ok dish as well. Would recommend Indian buffets towards Henrietta for better culinary experience

I got the Chicken 65 and my wife got the Chicken Tikka Masala. We also got an order of the Nepalese noodles with Chicken to share and some Aloo Paratha and Garlic Naan. Everything was fantastic! The menu is a good mix of Indian, Nepalese and Chinese style dishes. The waiter asked about our spice tolerance and everything was made to order to match what we liked for heat. The atmosphere was laid back and everyone was friendly. I think one of the folks working the floor was the owner, or maybe owners daughter and she was really nice. I'm looking forward to warming up some leftovers tomorrow and we will definitely go back.

13 Indian Taste & Salad is a casual Indian food eatery located within the Finger Lakes Premium…read moreOutlets in Waterloo, NY. We were on the road between Canandaigua and Seneca Falls, and saw they had largely great reviews online despite recently opening up, so decided to roll the dice, but were sadly disappointed. The interiors (1/5) are very spartan without any sort of ambiance or atmosphere whatsoever. There is no music playing and one side of the seating area in the back left of the place has plain white walls and no decoration, while half of the space is not an eatery, but rather a store selling Indian clothing attire (a very bizarre set up that I've never seen in my travels). There seemed to be one lady running the entire food side of the eatery, but was only there maybe 10-15% of the time while spending the rest of the time in the kitchen. What seemed to be her son was at the front entry area, so the eatery was without any sort of adult supervision presence for 85-90% of the time. Service (1.5/5) was so absent/bad, that several customers just left after being seated and pretty much ignored. Multiple tables had to ask for cups just to have water, and were given flimsy little plastic cups. The water was unfiltered and we felt it had a funky taste to it. In plain sight of the customers, the lady/waitress was cleaning utensils in the middle of the eatery using brown paper towels at an island covered with plastic straws, a bottle of Shout cleaning spray, coffee creamer, and a half empty bottle of water on it. I like to give small businesses the benefit of the doubt, but it was amateur hour and a comedy of errors on how not to run an eatery. I wouldn't refer to it as a restaurant and rather call it an eatery since there was so much left to be desired. We were hoping to have a quick lunch as we had to hit the road, so just ordered a paneer tikka masala and dal makhani with 2 orders of naan for our main course. It took a very long time for food to come out, but was decent when it finally did. The dal makhani (4.5/5) was the star of the show and was tasty. The paneer tikka masala (2.5/5) looked nothing like pictures of an orangish tomato-based gravy I had seen online. Just so there was no miscommunication, I showed her pictures of the gravy I had wanted from prior recent online reviews, but we got a dish with a red colored gravy that was loaded with red dyed food coloring. We noticed it had dyed our fingers a slight reddish color a few hours after the meal (once again, this has never happened before to us after eating Indian food). The dish was otherwise pretty tasty, but like the dal makhani, it was pretty small in portion size compared to other eateries/restaurants. The naan (2.5/5) was similarly small in size and tasted average otherwise. The real kicker was when we had asked for some additional rice, and she failed to inform us there was an additional charge for it. It would have been nice if there was some sort of transparency by letting the customer know rather than just adding a random $5 additional charge to the check after the meal, especially since 95% of the Indian places I go to eat offer additional rice complimentary. You aren't presented with a check, so you have to head up to their main desk area to pay on a tablet. This is when I noticed that they also tack on a 4% "admin fees" listing on checks which isn't disclosed anywhere either. All in all, the additional charges when it came time to pay added insult to an already dull and slow paced meal (took well over an hour, so you can't expect a quick lunch). I really hate to bash a small business and wanted to give them 2 stars, but this is one of the rare times I'm deducting an additional star for tacky undisclosed charges and poor communication with the customer. This was a one and done meal for us at 13 Indian Taste & Salad for us, and I cannot recommend them to others. Hopefully the business finds this review as an opportunity to step up their game to better serve their customers and communicate fees better.
