Great Indian Kitchen Restaurant & Bar

We were incredibly fortunate to have GIK cater our wedding in August! Benny, Sri, and the team were exceptional in working closely with us to ensure that we were able to serve our favorite dishes in a reasonable manner. GIK was super flexible with our DIY, bring everything in venue (Windham Manor) despite never working the location prior to our wedding. After being super cautious, we were blown away by how professional and seamless GIK was. Our guests still talk about how incredible the food and drinks were. Thank you for making our special day so much better than we could have even imagined!!!

Rather than "great" it was just ok. Spice levels are very very mild even when asking for spicy. Naan is a little under-cooked. Rice was cold and not fresh. Service is a bit slow. Menu does have a nice variety so will try something else next time and ask for a spicier level. Will also try the buffet since reviews say it is better than sit down order experience.

Organized a private gathering recently! The private room seating was just perfect!!The customer service was awesome! Thank you Ann/ Benny for being gracious hosts! Afsal and Rocky - hats off to your attention to detail and meeting our requirements! To all the staff who were quick to respond to any calls, THANK you!!! The food was awesome!! The crunchy cutlets , perfectly cooked tandoor , the chole batura bits with the perfectly spiced channa masala and the biriyani were delicious!!! Will definitely be back for future events.

I came to Albany to visit family, and since they know I love Indian food they recommended this restaurant. It’s incredibly clean upon walking in, and everyone is so friendly and attentive! By far the best Indian restaurant I’ve tried in the Hudson Valley with efficient customer service. Warm, friendly, and inviting. They even gave us complimentary Mango icecream! I’m telling everyone about this place back home!!

I had the pleasure of dining at Great Indian Kitchen in Albany, and it exceeded all my expectations. The buffet offered an extensive selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, representing authentic flavors from both North and South Indian cuisines. Every dish I tried was delicious and full of traditional, rich taste. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm, welcoming, and impeccably clean. It's conveniently located just 5 minutes off the highway, making it an easy stop for anyone traveling on 87 N/S or 90 E/W in New York State. It's the perfect spot for a break without a big detour, ideal for travelers seeking a quick yet fulfilling meal. The staff were incredibly courteous and attentive, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. I visited on a Saturday, and t
