Finding authentic Indian cuisine outside of India can be a challenge, especially for those who have grown up with the rich flavors and diverse dishes that are a staple in Mumbai. It's understandable that the adaptation of these dishes to suit different palates may not always meet the expectations of someone seeking the taste of home. The experience of mutton biryani, a dish known for its complex spices and preparation, can vary greatly from one restaurant to another, and it's disappointing when the flavors don't match up to those remembered from India, especially when the cost is also a consideration. The quest for authentic flavors often involves a trial and error process, and it seems that the search in Syracuse has been less than fruitful so far. The slow service and lackluster ambiance mentioned only add to the sense that the dining experience is not worth repeating. It's a reminder of how deeply personal and important food is to our sense of culture and community, and how it can be a form of connection to our roots and heritage. Finding a place that serves food which resonates with one's cultural palate and expectations can be an important aspect of feeling at home in a new place.

We ordered Tandoori roti, chicken biriyani and a chicken curry. The roti was hard and crispy. The biriyani was simply a ‘masala chicken rice’. Chicken curry was mediocre at best. Certainly not the best Indian food. This place is clearly overrated.The attitude of the employees was EXTREMELY rude! Just to get an order taken and to get the food delivered to the table we had to wait for 45 minutes.The worst part of all, “the waiter was lecturing me that it is mandatory to tip”. I didn’t tip, because your service was so overwhelmingly despicable. I have the right to not tip if I don’t like your service.Learn the meaning of “adhithi devo bhava” and read up on what Gandhi said about “customers”.

Service was extremely quick. However, the butter chicken sauce has been completely watered down. Tasteless and watery. Used to be thick and plentiful. Seems like they are trying to stretch the sauce out to make more money. It will kill your business in the long run. Watery like baby diarrhea . Horrible change to the sauce consistency just to make more money be more greedy.

Went to the lunch buffet. It was my first experience at a middle eastern restaurant and the food was delicious. Tons of flavor and a good selection. The staff was friendly and always checking on us. Great place to go for some flavor and the price was really reasonable. I'll be going back again!

Ordered tea, vegetable pakoda, garlic Naan and chicken makhni. All of them tasted good with good flavor and the right spice. Complimentary papad was however, quite oily. Will definitely return to this place to try other dishes !!!
Love this place. I felt very comfortable and much respect from the staff. The food is so good and large proportion for a reasonable price.I definitely will be back.

The name of the place is “Dosa Grill” but I tried to order dosas and the don’t sell them on Tuesdays. Why would you name your restaurant after a food you don’t have available?
