Customer Reviews
Ambiance is not on the menu. I counted about 8 chairs altogether, semi scattered between 2 tables...but it's not about that, it's about the food. The food is very good, hitting all the comfort food vibes. It's also offered at a bargain price. Garlic naan and chicken tikka - slightly crisp and smoky on the outside and light (naan) or tender and juicy (chicken) on the inside. The tandoor oven and the experience of the cooks crafted those dishes to a very high level. The palak paneer seemed plain at first but subtler spicing came through the more I consumed/shoveled it in my mouth. I love places like this. Pretentiousness is nowhere in sight. There's a hardworking honesty to the place and they feed their clientele well made and generous portions.
HIDDEN GEM 💎 the food was so good especially for the soul, called in a take out order and the worker helped me pick out what to eat. Very nice people inside, it may not look like much from the outside but the flavors was divine. The prices are great too with huge portions, they fill the bowls to the top making it definitely worth it. Definitely getting more than one meal out of it from 2 orders alone for 2 people. Will definitely come again !😋
Expected good pakistani food from this restaurant based in previous reviews. However, the food was very disappointing. It was very bland and lacked all sorts of flavors. The biryani was missing authenticity and taste. Honestly, the food deserved less than one star rating. The service was fine but nothing over the top. The dessert was very mediocre as well.
This definitely tasted more like Indian food than Pakistani food. It was still delicious and the portions were generous. The prices are reasonable and the employee was incredibly kind. The food was freshly made (you can see them making it when you pick up the food). Order food: chicken curry (not chicken tikka), naan, and 1/2 tandoori chicken.
Very nice Indian restaurant in Schenectady connected with the Indian store next door. There is a couple of tables inside, but it's more practical to order take-out, shop the store while the food is getting ready, and eat at home. We have ordered Tandoori mix (Reshmi+Tikka+Sheesh Kebab+Chicken) and Chicken Curry and were very happy. The taste would rival top-notch Karavalli in Latham and Spicy Mint on Wolf Road for a fraction of the price with a caveat that Karam is a hole-in-the-wall type of arrangement where you get the food and eat it elsewhere.
