14 Best Indian Restaurants near Schenectady

“Best zinger burger in all New york, especially knew this when I went back to back The quality is hand slaughtered meat cooked hand bred style I have tried other meat and they aren't so juicy and tender inside while keeping its crispness“

“Love this place. Don't be deceived by the location as it's tucked away off state street in Schenectady. It's attached to a store and there are no seats, it's mainly take out. The prices are completely reasonable, if not cheap. I ordered a whole tandoori chicken, vegetable curry, sweet naan, two samosas and dessert all for about $48. The chicken was tender and the naan tasted warm right out of the oven! The sauce on the curry was thick and not watery. Good size portions. I recommend highly as my only other Indian I lean toward is Karavalli in Latham and Karavalli in Saratoga.“

“This was a great experience. We are from Kenya and we're visiting Schenectady for keisure.finding this spot was heaven sent.The food was amazing,awesome and well cooked.service and cleanliness was top notch and our server Karim was very friendly and welcoming.would highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: My 10 month old had a feeding chair.so necessary“

“Whoah what a hidden gem. My bf wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint. We ordered the duck curry and Chicken Tikka..delish! We watched him make the naan as we were waiting for our order. There is no sit down dining so call ahead for takeout as we waited quite a while. We were behind a gentlemen who said he travels 20 miles regularly for this place so that speaks volumes.“

“I love the food here, and the people at TanDoori House are fantastic. As a vegetarian, I love having so many options on the menu to choose from, and whether you do pickup or delivery, it’s always delicious. Their chana masala is top tier, and so are their saag paneer and vegetable samosas. For dessert, definitely go for the rice pudding. I’ve ordered here several times and it never disappoints!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I can't forget that Peshewari Naan and Bombay Aloo. Two awesome items with perfect balance of spice. They asked us the spice level we would prefer. This is something indian restaurants usually do not ask. Loved that part. Two other items were onion naan (was good) but the Mughlai chicken, something was off about it. It could be the balance of sweet or the salt was not right. I felt like I am eating a thik gravy. I believe the tea was over brewed and to balance it more milk was poured in. That's just an opinion as I know taste of tea is very subjective. Besides all of this the portion of one order was good for two. I think they are underrated by themselves. I would recommend them to change the whole seating arrangement. Also, update your restaurant name to Ahmed Restaurant. It was hard to find it.Spend $36 for two. (1. Mughlai Chicken came with choice of rice/Naan, Aloo Naan came with Rice/Naan)“

“Authentically Indian except for the prices, but hey, they gotta pay the rent. Went in and asked for a dish that wasn’t on the menu (Dal Makhani) but which I’ve enjoyed in Bangladesh. I was very impressed that they not only knew what I was after, but agreed to fix it for me. This place is clean, welcoming, tasty and authentic midasian comfort food.“

“I like the fact that there is open buffet between the hours of 11am-2pm. It's nice to go and grab some lunch while there's the option to get a quick buffet. The location offers a great parking spot as well as the option to take what you need to go. The cost for it is $16. The restaurant is close to Latham and is a not too far a drive away. If you're looking to get some Indian food in the local area stop by here in Latham to grab a bite to eat.“
