The well organized menu includes good descriptions and fair prices considering the high quality of the ingredients used. Orders can be placed online or by telephone. Parking is easy. Now that we have tried it, we are happy to have this recently opened take out restaurant three miles from home. We definitely will order again soon! The family enjoys Indian/Pakistani food locally, especially at Karavalli, Spice Malabar, and Shalimar in Latham. We think this food was as good as we have had there. A few dishes were even better. Each of us was very pleased with our food choices. Our order included: Pakora as an app. The raita was outstanding! Best I have ever had. Chicken Tikka Masala -- flavorful and with very tender moist pieces of white chicken. Chicken Buryani -- excellent Tandoori Chicken Beef Kabob Goat entree Lamb with Creamed Spinach -- tender meat with delicious spinach Dal Tadka -- lentils Garlic Naan I am including a few photos. Highly recommend folks supporting this small business.

They also offer DoorDash and GrubHub food delivery and online ordering for pickup. I placed my order online and headed over here and my food was ready bagged when I arrived. I ordered 2 Vegetable Samosas ($4.99 plus tax) and a Shrimp Biryani ($14.99 plus tax). The vegetable samosas were pretty good, which had a firm flaky crust shell filled with potatoes, seeds, spices & curry with a sweet & spicy dipping sauce and a yogurt dipping sauce. The shrimp biryani had a mild spicy flavor with 8 tender shrimp (with shells on) over soft rice mix. However, I did find a piece of goat meat in the mix, no biggie. Overall, pretty good food at a fair price.

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.

Having lived more than 10 years of my life through Central and Southern California where there's an abundance of ethnic foods to try, I was thrilled when this place opened. I hadn't had Indian food in a good 7 years! This did not disappoint. If you've never tried Indian food, buffet is the way to start. Most items on the buffet are gluten free and they are awesome about answering allergy questions and accommodating customers with menu items. The buffet changes daily giving you an opportunity to try new things along with favorites you'll discover. Different rices, noodles, veggies, chicken, goat or lamb, salads, chutneys, desserts, yum! The food is super fresh and packed with flavors you might not be able to identify but can't stop eating.and their fresh naan, I wish I could have gluten! Looks, smells, and I've been told is delicious! Very reasonably priced. It's very clean, modern yet comfortable and relaxed. The service is wonderful and they don't rush you out the door like many places.

On 3/22, I wanted to celebrate my birthday by trying out the buffet at Spice Malabar. I told the…read morestaff it was my birthday and they were sweet enough to greet me. The food was spectacular. I couldn't get enough of the chicken biryani and the dosa they bring to your table. While I was enjoying my meal a recording of Happy Birthday started playing in the restaurant. I was shocked and was wondering who else was celebrating their birthday on the same day. But at that moment a staff member brought over a dessert item with a candle on top. I was shocked and so touched by this special gesture. I will be a fan of Spice Malabar forever since they cared enough to make my day special.

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!!

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.

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.
