“I got the lamb kebab wrap with everything on it. I couldn't recommend it more! The lamb was cooked perfectly and seasoned well, and the pita had the right amount of meat and fillings in it (and it didn't fall apart while I ate it).“
“Doesn’t look as nice on the outside but the inside is beautiful. Great ambience and the service was impeccable. But what really makes this place pop, is the incredible food. They have a unique presentation style and everything we tried was delicious. Definitely at the top of my list for Indian cuisine. A must try and there is a Groupon for $15 off!“
“Very nice and clean place! Service was friendly and polite. Food was delicious full of flavor! I got lamb Rogan Josh comes with rice and my boyfriend got chicken curry comes with rice. We each got mango lassi and we got 2 naan bread (rosemary and garlic). We also got a dessert to share. The bill was $62. I think the price was good and portion size was Perfect! We will be coming back!! Thank you!!“
“I was CRAVING chicken Kashmiri bad tonight but my husband is not a big fan of the spice in traditional Indian food. As a compromise, we settled on Galleria 7 in Latham, a multi-ethnic food market with excellent vendors, including @Shalimar express.I called around 5 to ask if Shalimar express makes chicken Kashmiri. The nice man answered, told me no and respectfully hung up the call. Within five minutes, the owner, Leo, called me back to tell me that although they do not have chicken Kashmiri as a menu item, they were able to make a modified version and call is chili chicken. We arrived around 615 and Leo greeted us with a smile and a “it was you!!!” He proceeded to explain how he would custom make a dish for me and would make it suitable for my dietary needs. He really didn’t not have to but this man went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience.We received the food within 15 minutes and it was DELICIOUS. The chicken was soft and tender, the garlic naan was flavorful and the veggies were absolute perfection. My husband had the Curry chicken and loved every bite. Leo even came and spoke to us about his history, his family and his love for serving his friends.We never post on this page but Leo made this experience such a memorable one. He went far beyond great customer service and truly the food was Amazing. If you are ever in all Latham, give them a try.“
“The food was absolutely amazing! The buffet was hot all the food was very fresh. The service is unmatched. The staff are extremely friendly. The variety for vegetarian and individuals that prefer meat is there! Also the buffet changes daily and I have yet to have something I did not like. I highly recommend Dosa Grill Albany!“
“Awesome food. I had a little trouble finding the place as it was in a nearby town in a food court. Once found, thr food was delicious. Some of the best samosas I've had and I asked for the chicken tikka masala spicy amd it was perfect. The owner was the first one on the area to open the other Shalimar Indian restaurants in the area and he told me he had sold them all and opened this place. I was telling him that the quality had gone down at the other places and this place was better. Next time if I'm not so hungry I would get take out. I only wish that this place was closer and that I had a little more tikka sauce bc it was that good!!“
“Wherever I go to a new city, I love to try the Indian food. Albany, this is a gem! I have never had better Indian food anywhere in the country. The complexities of flavors and textures and temperatures that make Indian food spectacular are all here. I had a sweet lassi, vegetable samosas, naan and Navratan Korma. Flawless.“
“The butter chicken pizza is really good and all the Indian dishes I have had have been surprisingly great. Flavorful and surprisingly spicy. The atmosphere is a little odd, so I wouldn't recommend eating here, but the take out is great.“
“This is one of the best authentic Pakistani restaurants in town, brought my picky Punjabi parents here and they loved it. Their channa and naan are awesome, also love their daal, chicken karahi, and seekh kabobs.Bonus: if you can read Urdu/Punjabi their interior wall art is hilarious!!Vegetarian options: Daal, Channa, saag, mixed veg, naans“
“I am an Indian-American, born and raised and am honestly pretty harsh when it comes to Indian food. This place not only met expectations, it exceeded them and then some. Please get the Apollo chicken. It is so authentic and just honestly really well done. Everything, even the chicken Rogan Josh was incredibly flavorful. I will be coming back here many more times. Additionally, our waiter was one of the nicest people I have had the honor of meeting in the Albany area“
“Was headed down to Latham Sunday to hit some shops we don't have here in southern Vermont and my husband joked, as I was leaving, "so we're having Indian for dinner?" I hadn't even thought of it (usually it's just when I am coming home from the airport). I ordered through yelp/grubhub as I was finishing my shopping and then headed over. I'd never tried Karavalli but it came highly recommended from a friend and she was right: it's awesome. As far as the takeout experience using yelp, it was easy to order and add a note (I always get takeout without napkins and whatnot to eliminate waste), ready right at the earliest moment it could be and REALLY well-packed. When I entered the space, which is very nice, I was greeted by a friendly host and then by the bartender who grabbed my order for me. The food was delicious and still hot when I got back home (about a 50-minute drive). The saag paneer is insanely fresh and had a nice amount of fresh ginger -- yummmmm. The chicken tikka masala was decadent and while I think it could have had a bit more chicken, it was delicious. We got the plain naan and it was chewy with a little crispness. You can order an 8 oz side of tamarind chutney. I did and have been putting it on literally everything. I will DEFINITELY make Karavalli a regular stop when making my trips to Latham for ulta/homegoods/michaels/target runs. I'd also like to try their Sunday brunch and to eat in the restaurant at some point!“
“The food is phenomenal and deserving of a fine dining experience. The dinning room could use some tint on the windows to block the harsh sunlight distracting from the decor, sure it’s fine in the evening. The place doesn’t feel fancy due to being in a strip mall but my goodness, the chief knows how to cook. Usually buffets are so so, but this is a buffet of perfectly seasoned dishes. Will definitely be adding this to our list of places to order dinners from :-)“
“I’ve ordered twice recently and it’s been hot, fresh and delicious both times. The naan, samosas, and chicken tiki masala are incredibly good, great balance of spices & the portion sizes are large. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I've been ordering the Chicken Tikka Masala from here for a few years now and it NEVER DISAPPOINTS. The sauce is so well rounded and delicious, super creamy, but also super flavorful. Their garlic naan is also amazing. My fiance ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala pizza from here recently and loved it. I tried a piece and it was very good. Super innovative to turn their dishes into pizza form. He's gotten the Tandoori Chicken a few times as well and it's excellent. The customer service is great and everyone is always very friendly. I often find myself daydreaming about the next time I get to order food from here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“
