Butter chicken Chicken Tikka Masala…read moreGarlic Naan The service was straightforward enough the guy was kind, said thanks for stopping in. Little can be said for the ambiance. As I had read prior to arriving, this is definitely a take-out spot. I got Butter chicken and it was good, though I had been hoping for more flavor.... This was likely an error in my part and I should've ordered something else, but I will likely be going back to try something new!

This is a take out place. Service is respectful. They're very popular. A lot of people were seated…read morewaited for food. The food is prepared fresh, so there is a 20-30 min wait. I didn't mind because it was pleasant speaking to other customers. It's a small takeout place, but a customer told me that they have a bigger place with seating coming soon. Very good. I just had a type of kebab and naan, and they gave me chutney. They're famous for their nihari, a type of beef curry, and other dishes. A local told me that this is the most authentic Pakistani food in the area. Very good

Ok there's from this place again after few years. Food was not close to what Pakistani food is. I…read moregot shami kebabs that were huge and dry and smelled like they were fried in older oil. Oil that was used for few weeks. Service was a take out order. So good and fast. Some people were sitting for lunch buffet. Naans were dry and rubbery. Poori looked and tasted like white tortilla flat bread fried. I don't know what to get couple good authentic Pakistani dishes around. Sheesh kebab was okay, it was that $2 chicken kebab chopped with some onions n green peppers and lemon and they charged me $15 for it. $45 down the hole. Raita was too sweet and carroty. It's basically American version of Desi food. They just took the Desi out of it. Kashmiri naan was just the most unappetizing orange colored thing with coconut shreds in the folds. What happened to almond shreds and raisins on Kashmiri naan. Post Covid times, food is just super expensive and the quality is gone. I am done. I want to really post a great food review, that will make my taste buds sizzle with flavors.

Back after about seven years. $8.99 Lunch Buffet is now $16.99…read more Variety of food on buffet is typical of mid level Indian buffet places. Impressed that they received a 100% compliance score from Health Department. No violations. Bravo! One complaint: Buffet starts at 11:00, yet Naan was not put out until 11:50. However, the Plain Naan was warm and very good! I was selective about what I put on my plate. Again, Tandoori Chicken was overdone--dry and tough even the thigh piece I tried to eat. Not okay. Chili Chicken is good. It is similar to Chinese Sesame Chicken. Tikka Masala was very good with tender chicken. Spinach with chickpeas was good. The two rice choices were nice and hot. The Mulligatawny Soup was lukewarm and thin and spicy as expected. Cabbage is excellent! Nice flavor and cooked well. Dessert was their regular rice dish that I did not want to eat. No Goat dishes offered today. They are usually good.. Restaurant seating is booths and tables.

This is one of the best Shalimar locations in the area and the closest to my house. The food is…read morealways hot, quick, and tastes great. The chicken tikka masala is nice and creamy and doesn't have a strong tomato taste like some places, which I appreciate. Everyone that works there is super nice. I think the portions seem a little smaller than full serve places but the size is still adequate and the prices are relative.

For what is essentially an enhanced food court experience, you get a pretty tasty meal here,…read moreeverything comes out quickly, and the owner takes very good care of you. The menu is pretty extensive for the seemingly small kitchen space you can see behind the counter. My vegetable samosas (2) were piping hot and had a decent amount of "not potato" in them, accompanied by 2 sauces. The Chicken Tikka Masala Bowl includes a generous amount of well-prepared rice. Normally I pass on rice except as a vehicle for sauce, but I finished this. The sauce had a reasonably deep red color and an enjoyable spicy flavor, maybe a little less tomato flavor than I've had elsewhere, but still quite good. Naan, wrapped in foil, is fresh and hot, but not necessarily crisp. Flavored naans will have the flavors as a stuffing. My mango lassi was excellent - I almost wanted to steal a larger milkshake cup from nearby Herbie's and ask for that to be filled up instead. All in all, if you are looking for an Indian meal while at Galleria 7, you will be very satisfied here.

I am so appreciative of the wide selection of vegan options - lots of familiar dishes and new exciting ones to try, all expertly prepared, fresh, delicious, perfectly seasoned, and as spicy as you like (even super spicy! and the delicious flavors shine through). I really appreciated the dish recommendations, and loved everything new I tried, so amazing! Counting the minutes until I can eat here again. Thank you so much for a lovely dining experience.

A very well kept store in Latham offering a variety of international foods…read more The employees were very friendly. There is so much to see, every bit of this store is fully stocked with thousands of items. Any questions I had were answered expertly. There is a cafe in the rear of this store which seemed like it just kept going further and further back, seriously there is so much inside! There was a full service butcher shop in the middle of the store with Halal meats and a large freezer section stocked with whole fish. Fresh produce is also in the middle of the store close to the cashier stand. A large freezer section lines the wall to the left when you enter and on the right bulk rices are available. It was a very cool shop and super affordable. I'll be back soon.

Behari Kebab Over Rice - It was paired with a Ceasar Salad, which I think is an odd choice, not mad about it since I do like Cesar Salad but I Would have preferred something more traditional. The salad was also in the same container with the hot food, so it was soft a warm, with mushey croutons, by the time I got it home to eat. I found the chicken to be rather dry. Chicken Tikka Masala was a generous portion, but the chicken in this dish was dry as well.

SO had the fried fish dinner and I ordered the dozen shrimp with fries and mac and cheese. Shrimp are not so covered in breading that you need to wonder where the critter went. I do so enjoy shrimp. There were sufficient fries for a whole family. Fried fish were also plentiful. Parking is problematic since we had 2 feet of snow a week ago. Staff were pleasant and food is surved up quickly. I think the travel with hot food in boxes is just a problem. Hopefully they will survive covid to serve more tasty food choices. Sorry, I didn't get any pics!

Reviewing this spot again after nearly 4 years!…read more In my eyes, this spot has withstood the test of time. Maharaja still holds a dear place in my heart. The food is always exactly what I'm hoping for, and the service is always quick. I don't have to wait very long to get my food, and I always leave happy. My go-to is the Chicken Vindaloo. I have a pretty solid heat tolerance, and I don't recommend this to anyone that can't handle a bit of heat... I sometimes find myself sweating after this dish, but it is so worth it. My wife orders the Chicken Tikka Masala and it's also very delicious. I've tried a few chicken tikka masala dishes in the area (by extension of my wife) and this is my favorite. The sauce is a rich, buttery sauce that tastes amazing, and the chicken is always so tender. We share a helping of rice for the chicken tikka masala and vindaloo. It is plenty of food and we typically leave with leftovers (which reheat nicely). I do also love the copper-wear. Some of the appliances are getting a bit dented, and unfortunately the window in the front is cracked and I notice these small things, but the food is good enough for me to look past that.

As a vegetarian, I often keep my choices simple and focus on dishes that truly reflect authenticity…read moreand balance of flavors. During my visit, I ordered the classic yellow dal tadka and Kashmiri dum aloo and both exceeded my expectations. The dal tadka was comforting and beautifully prepared, with the perfect consistency and a well-balanced tempering that enhanced the natural flavor of the lentils without overpowering them. It had that unmistakable homemade, authentic Indian taste that is surprisingly hard to find. The Kashmiri dum aloo was outstanding. The potatoes were perfectly cooked, absorbing the rich, aromatic gravy infused with traditional spices. The depth of flavor, subtle heat, and creamy texture were exactly how this dish should be prepared. Honestly, I haven't tasted such an authentic and well-executed Kashmiri dum aloo anywhere in America. Ambience was very nice and service was exceptional too. If you are looking for genuine Indian flavors prepared with care and authenticity, I highly recommend this restaurant. It delivers both quality and taste in every bite.

Service. The FOOD!! Visiting Albany for the weekend…read more I love Indian food, and the spices. This restaurant, by far, has been the best ever from every place. I've tried. We ordered items we don't get back home where we live in Pennsylvania and they were all delicious! We had two different non-bread, garlic, and rosemary, for appetizer we had the Gobi Bezule, entrees were Mughali Murg Pasanda chicken and Chicken Dahi Murg. Both were awesome but my preference was the Pasanda because of the sweetness of the almond. For dessert we had the Rasmalai. That was good and that sweet. Highly recommend this restaurant! Oh yeah, it ended with a warm hand wipe!!
