“Awesome food. I had a little trouble finding the place as it was in a nearby town in a food court. Once found, thr food was delicious. Some of the best samosas I've had and I asked for the chicken tikka masala spicy amd it was perfect. The owner was the first one on the area to open the other Shalimar Indian restaurants in the area and he told me he had sold them all and opened this place. I was telling him that the quality had gone down at the other places and this place was better. Next time if I'm not so hungry I would get take out. I only wish that this place was closer and that I had a little more tikka sauce bc it was that good!!“
“Alibaba is a gem hidden in the rocks. I can't express in words how delectable the butter chicken pizza is! The taste and texture just explode in your mouth leaving you both satisfied and yearning for more. I highly recommend their pizza!“
“The food is phenomenal and deserving of a fine dining experience. The dinning room could use some tint on the windows to block the harsh sunlight distracting from the decor, sure it’s fine in the evening. The place doesn’t feel fancy due to being in a strip mall but my goodness, the chief knows how to cook. Usually buffets are so so, but this is a buffet of perfectly seasoned dishes. Will definitely be adding this to our list of places to order dinners from :-)“
“All I have to say, is I’m super pleased with this place. Food taste was amazing!!! The wings as a starter, the lamb and cashew sauce, the chicken tikkamasala was to die for!!! The jasmine rice ?!!! Ufff loved it!!! Definitely coming back here ??“
“My friends and I came here for a birthday dinner, and everything was absolutely delicious. We had the mango lassi, chicken korma, chicken biryani, paneer makhni, garlic naan, lamb kebabs, and gulab jamin. Attentive service. I reccomend everything I tried, especially the lamb kebabs!!“
“This is one of the best authentic Pakistani restaurants in town, brought my picky Punjabi parents here and they loved it. Their channa and naan are awesome, also love their daal, chicken karahi, and seekh kabobs.Bonus: if you can read Urdu/Punjabi their interior wall art is hilarious!!Vegetarian options: Daal, Channa, saag, mixed veg, naans“
“I am an Indian-American, born and raised and am honestly pretty harsh when it comes to Indian food. This place not only met expectations, it exceeded them and then some. Please get the Apollo chicken. It is so authentic and just honestly really well done. Everything, even the chicken Rogan Josh was incredibly flavorful. I will be coming back here many more times. Additionally, our waiter was one of the nicest people I have had the honor of meeting in the Albany area“
“Wherever I go to a new city, I love to try the Indian food. Albany, this is a gem! I have never had better Indian food anywhere in the country. The complexities of flavors and textures and temperatures that make Indian food spectacular are all here. I had a sweet lassi, vegetable samosas, naan and Navratan Korma. Flawless.“
“LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I've been ordering the Chicken Tikka Masala from here for a few years now and it NEVER DISAPPOINTS. The sauce is so well rounded and delicious, super creamy, but also super flavorful. Their garlic naan is also amazing. My fiance ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala pizza from here recently and loved it. I tried a piece and it was very good. Super innovative to turn their dishes into pizza form. He's gotten the Tandoori Chicken a few times as well and it's excellent. The customer service is great and everyone is always very friendly. I often find myself daydreaming about the next time I get to order food from here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“
“Absolutely a must try is all I can say!The staff is very welcoming and treats you like family. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting! Food is to die for!You can certainly have a very nice date night here or bring the family. Prices are what you expect for Indian food. You can definitely taste the quality of the food. Plenty of parking and seating shouldn't be a problem. If your having a bigger party. I suggest reservation. This is a must try and totally worth the trip!“
“I’ve ordered twice recently and it’s been hot, fresh and delicious both times. The naan, samosas, and chicken tiki masala are incredibly good, great balance of spices & the portion sizes are large. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.“
“Authentically Indian except for the prices, but hey, they gotta pay the rent. Went in and asked for a dish that wasn’t on the menu (Dal Makhani) but which I’ve enjoyed in Bangladesh. I was very impressed that they not only knew what I was after, but agreed to fix it for me. This place is clean, welcoming, tasty and authentic midasian comfort food.“
“I got the lamb kebab wrap with everything on it. I couldn't recommend it more! The lamb was cooked perfectly and seasoned well, and the pita had the right amount of meat and fillings in it (and it didn't fall apart while I ate it).“
