If you have a spare $35 on hand, treat yourself to the amazing food at the Spice Malabar. Consistent, quality service and delicious food are delivered on every visit. I personally recommend the Lamb Saag - I can’t handle anything too spicy hot, but this dish meets you in the middle with amazing creamy spice yet keeps your nostrils intact. 10/10 restaurant in the 518 area.

If you're looking for a place in Clifton Park that never disappoints, this is it! We've dined here at least 15 times, and each visit has been just as fantastic as the last. From the moment we walk in, the service is always friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food? Absolutely top-notch. Whether you're here for a quick bite or a more leisurely meal, everything on the menu is prepared with care and attention to detail. It's rare to find...

We’ve been stopping in for a drink for the past few weeks and finally had dinner last night. We ordered three small plates- malai kofta, palak chaat and vegetable samosas. The panak chaat may be the most wonderful thing I’ve ever eaten! Staff is kind and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is lovely.
