Bad experience at Sahota Palace. Their dinner buffet has two options: you can dine in and eat as much as you want, or they provide a takeout box for the buffet. Since we are vegetarians, we only took kadhi pakora, dal, and saag. Because I have a wheat allergy (including maida and atta) and gluten allergy, I simply requested a separate paper bag, small piece of foil, or even a paper napkin for the roti and samosa so they would not get mixed with the other food. My request was clearly denied. The server explained that there are cameras everywhere and that he gets scolded for giving out extra items. It was extremely uncomfortable to hear this as a customer. When a restaurant is so focused on monitoring every paper bag or piece of foil that a guest with a food allergy cannot be accommodated, something is seriously wrong with the customer service. I have no complaints about the food itself, but this behavior was unacceptable. A simple request related to a food allergy should be treated with basic consideration, not as though the customer is asking for something unreasonable. I have attached a copy of my bill and a photo of the buffet takeout box for reference. This was my last visit. I would especially caution people with food allergies or dietary restrictions, because based on my experience, your health-related requests may not be taken seriously. Zero stars for the way this situation was handled.

Alright sooo, this place is likely the worst Indian food that I've ever had (and also poor service). 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!

I ordered the chicken biryani, extra spicy. A star for the chicken, rice & spice, but since there were no cashews or sultanas, they don't get those stars. Their Naan was a bit dry & overcooked. & not very garlicy at all. Their raita is very runny. Like they forgot to get the water out of the cucumber first. Their Mango lassi was also watered down. While the spice was great & very nice to find from an americanized establishment, a biryani missing half the ingredients can't be excused. Especially when your own description says that it is made with "nuts and raisins".

Lunch buffet- yum

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the area. They offer a lunch buffet most days of the week and a dinner buffet Sundays. A great way to try different dishes, especially if you are not familiar with Indian food. Their dishes are very flavorful and I love the chicken chili and mango chicken in particular. They seem to always offer salad, different sauces and chutneys, basmati rice, naan, chicken dishes, a couple vegetarian options, fried pakoras and samosas, golub jamen, and kheer. I have found that Syracuse Indian buffets tend to be more on the medium spice side vs. the Albany area which I would categorize as mild. I think serving mild at a buffet is probably a safer idea if you want to introduce people to your cuisine. The place is nestled in an older plaza. Bathroom is down a darkish hallway and is dark and outdated. There is a tv in the dining area that plays Indian music videos. Today the sound was pretty loud. Some of the videos are not that appropriate for young children. I wish they had it off and just had some music playing. Would make for a nicer dining experience.

Special Mixed Grill

This place is a rip off. If you really want to serve people authentic food, don't mix meat and rice and call it biryani when the customer can clearly tell from the taste that it's plain left over meat mixed with pulao rice. Mixed grill meat smelled and tasted old. Is there any honesty left in the world? We paid $50.54 to get this mean to feed our kids from a long trip and everyone went to sleep hungry because this was the meal we could afford. If I could report this business, I would for serving food that's absolutely trash and shouldn't be fed to people. It's disgusting, old, cold. Thank you for ruining our dinner,

Food was edible but not delicious. The only food I would recommend would be the naan. Chicken Tikka was so disappointing and the vegetarian platter was hard.

Start with limited salad

Locals recommended this restaurant when I asked about Chinese buffet. We hadn't had buffet for…read more3yrs, since Covid19. We were happy with the Flaming Grill. It is a HUGE place, but it was lightly visited while we were there at 5pm on a Thursday. There were ~5 islands of hot food, 1 of cold w salads, a sushi area, an icecream novelty case, 4-6 soups. There was a Hibatchi area in back corner but I didn't try it. There were many types of breaded, fried, sauced chicken...all a bit dried out. The coconut shrimp was a little dried out. The green beans were tasty but limp. The rice noodles were a bit plain. I did not try the fish nor roast beef. BF said the pork was dry but good. But the SHELLFISH was really exceptional. Clams of different sizes, muscles in sauce, cold shrimp, hot shrimp, shrimp boil. My BF was like a bear in honey! Everything was clean but the place smelled oddly of petroleum? Service was quick and we felt relaxed. The bill was OK. Yes, we will come here again, when in the mood for Chinese buffet!

We went in at about 3:30pm Saturday (odd day as we missed lunch and were hungry for an early…read moredinner.) Open sign was lit / door unlocked and We were greeted promptly as we walked in. There was no one else in the restaurant but I didnt think much of it as this is an off time to eat a meal. We were seated with menus, promptly provided with water and a fried noodle snack dish. I asked for a menu in Chinese (Mandarin) as English is my Chinese Wife's second language but was told they did not have one (NP most American-Chinese restaurants do not but is worth asking i.e. The Red Chili restaurant in the same area provides a traditional Chinese menu). As soon as I started to order, the server interrupted me and told me that the cook had left on an errand and would not be back for at least 30 minutes and asked us if we mind waiting; she did offer to make some appetizers herself but there was enough uncertainly to cause us to decline and leave. My wife use to own a restaurant in Changchun (China) she agreed that the first bad decision was advertising they are open with no chef, the second silly decision was to wait so long before telling us. There are a lot of good reviews so might give it a second try at a different time.

Customer Feedback…read more The reason I'm leaving this feedback is because our host, Sunny, was very respectful, kind, and welcoming. Everything was clean, and the food was served hot. However, our waitress, Lisa, was very disrespectful and unprofessional. When we were speaking to her, she would walk away, and her attitude came across as rude. She was also very quiet but had a smart mouth when responding to us. We did not appreciate the way we were treated. We understand that everyone can have a bad day, but customers should still be treated with respect and professionalism. If someone does not want to work, no one is forcing them to, but that should not result in customers receiving poor treatment. We hope Lisa understands how her behavior made us feel and takes this feedback seriously. We truly appreciate Sunny for being kind and respectful and hope management recognizes the difference in our experience.

Good variety of options on the buffet. You could see steam coming off the steamer tables but I…read moredidn't find the food particularly hot. Nice inside, clean and various booth and table options with comfortable chairs. Decently priced. Very Americanized versions of dishes and I found nothing was spicy enough for my liking. The General Tso's chicken was very sweet. The lo mein lacked flavor and veggies. They did have sushi and a hibachi section which add to the variety and overall appeal. The bathrooms were spacious and very clean.

I can only speak on middle of the day on weekdays, but this place is a hidden gem…read more There are a ton of table games. (Only about half open when i'm there and it's still a lot.) The table games are generally pretty full. I can not imagine what it's like on the weekends when all the tables are open. The table game's minimums start at 5, 10, 25, 50 depending on which game it is. The slots are plenty. Hundreds of all kinds. I don't play a lot of slots, but when i have, i've won here. Only $20 - 60, but a win is a win. If you are intimidated by the tables, they have automatic craps and roulette games. The roulette is pretty dated and could really should be updated. Mostly because the interface is kinda a pain, but it still works. The staff is super friendly and are happy to answer any dumb questions i have. Customer service is top notch. The cleaning crew is really on top of things. The main floor, bathrooms, dining areas are all spotless. The thing that really stands out about this place is that the people seem happy. They call each other by their names. They joke and laugh. This is not the atmosphere that I usually see at the other NY casinos.

There is a soda fountain right after the entrance and it's free. They also have tables playing card game with minimum bet of $15-$20. I was able to order an alcohol drink while playing at a table from a waitress but by the time I left, I didn't get it. Also their buffet is no longer available which quite a sad news for me. Their location is a bit out of city so it takes a little ride to get there. They don't have any special welcome for new members.
