“Visited Desi Dhamaka and had a great experience overall. The Chicken Mandi was the highlight—well-cooked, aromatic, and flavorful, with tender chicken and perfectly seasoned rice. The portion size was generous and ideal for sharing.
The chicken starters were equally impressive—crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and well-marinated with authentic desi spices. They were served hot and fresh, making them a perfect start to the meal.
Service was prompt, and the food quality felt consistent. A good place for anyone who enjoys rich flavors, especially mandi lovers and those looking for satisfying non-veg starters.“

“Authentic North Indian food. Ambience is very nice. Friendly staff and good service.“

“better than last always great place to chilling“

“Nice and cozy place with a welcoming, homey vibe. Staff and waitress were super friendly and cheerful. Tables could’ve been a bit cleaner, but overall a good atmosphere. We tried the Peri Peri Vada Pav — vadas were great, but the pav and chutney could be better. Bhel was fresh and tasty. We even ordered Chinese Bhel, which had nice bits of Manchurian and paneer — the Manchurian pieces were a bit stiff, but overall it tasted good. We ordered Chole Kulcha but got Chole Naan instead, which was unexpected. Food overall is better than the competition, and definitely a place worth visiting!“

It was delicious and I handled the spice just fine. Also like the vibe of the place and the friendly service.“

“Neelam is the place to go for tasty Indian food. Thank you for the great service!“

“I ordered the Chicken Chettinadu, veg momo, and veg lunch combo — all were absolutely delicious! The Chicken Chettinadu had the perfect balance of spice and savory, and the veg momo were fresh, flavorful, and filled with a nice variety of vegetables. The veg lunch combo was satisfying and well-portioned, and the kheer dessert was fresh and mildly sweet — a perfect way to end the meal. Everything was packaged neatly and arrived warm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful, well-prepared Indian cuisine. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Absolutely phenomenal—this Indian restaurant is nothing short of a flavor paradise. From the very first bite, it’s clear that the kitchen is run by people who truly understand spices and balance.

The shrimp tandoori is perfection: succulent, smoky, and beautifully charred, with the shrimp remaining juicy and tender inside. Each piece is infused with deep, aromatic flavors that linger just long enough to make you crave the next bite. The malai chicken is pure comfort luxury—creamy, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth soft, with a subtle smokiness that elevates it far beyond the usual fare. It’s indulgent without being heavy, and easily one of the best versions I’ve ever had.

And then there’s the showstopper: the pepper fry mutton. Bold, fiery, and unapologetically robust, this dish is a masterclass in South Indian spice work. The mutton is cooked to tender perfection, coated in a peppery, aromatic masala that delivers heat, depth, and incredible complexity in every bite.

This is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve food—it creates an experience. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, authentic, and unforgettable. If you love Indian food and appreciate expertly cooked meats with powerful, well-rounded flavors, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Very nice preparation and prompt service“

“Last month I asked for recommendations for an Indian restaurant that had great vegan dishes. Clove Garden Garwood was highly recommended. I order 4 vegan dishes from their website tonight. I noted I was vegan online. I had also ordered Naan, (which I didn’t know contained dairy.) The owner took the time to call me and let me know it’s not vegan and made us Roti instead. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! Rich, delicious, authentic … best meal I’ve ever had. And the employees were incredibly nice. Looking forward to trying the other vegan dishes next week!! They have a huge selection. If you haven’t tried it yet, I would 100% try their food!!!“

“Love the authentic south Indian telugu tiffin dishes you get here , it is exactly like eating at any good breakfast restaurant in Andhra or Telangana ,the same local flavor ,it is one of the very few restaurants here which retains the local flavors, highly recommended.“

“Chowpatty recently catered my wedding and their food and service was phenomenal! Not only did they create mouthwatering dishes, but they took into consideration of the type of food we were looking to serve our guests. They provided constructive feedback and went above and beyond to give us tasteful ideas that we hadn’t even thought of. The team expressed enthusiasm to give us the best experience we could ask for during one of the most important weekends of our lives. Chowpatty never treated our wedding as a job, but an event they were proud to serve. They continue to strive for the best and push beyond their limits to give everyone a truly, unforgettable experience. Thank you Chowpatty for giving our families and friends a weekend they are still reminiscing about! Purvi & Shiven“

“Dosa Grill has hands down the best Indian food in the Syracuse area. As soon as you enter, you begin enjoying the rich aromas and friendly atmosphere. All their dishes are perfectly seasoned and carefully prepared. The buffet is extensive, with many of my favorites. We have been return customers there since it opened and I can honestly say it contributes to our quality of life.“

“Had a great experience at this restaurant! The staff was really friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was excellent overall, but the jhol momo was especially on point — flavorful, juicy, and absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for good food and great service!“

“Great place for good food“

“We ordered Jain food for lunch for 10 people, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We had given a heads up the night before, and the food was prepared right on time. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — not too mild, not too spicy.

We ordered Dal Makhani, Sham Savera, and Kaju Curry, and all three dishes were spot on in taste and quality. Truly impressed with how authentic and tasty the Punjabi flavors were, even in Jain preparations.

Highly recommend this place for delicious Punjabi food — and especially if you’re looking for Jain options done right!“

“Insanely incredible Indian food for extremely reasonable price!! Go for the all you can eat lunch buffet and put a little bit of everything on your plate and I promise you will not be disappointed. In all the times I have ever gone I have never had a single thing I did not like there. Also, their mango lassi is to die for! 🙏 🙌“

“I was given the most amazing gift this holiday season. I got to take a vegan cooking class at Ruby's and it was the most amazing experience. not only was everyone at the restaurant friendly and helpful, Ruby was such an amazing and fun instructor. The recipe was amazing the food turned out great and it was experience of a lifetime. I would highly highly highly recommend her restaurant and her cooking classes to everyone I meet. Thank you again Ruby for hosting us. Scott and David Rudd“
