By far the best Indian food in the region! Mini makes the most incredible, flavorsome, vegan Indian food, from various regions throughout the country, (my favorites are when she does Southern Indian) and touches each piece with love and thoughtfulness. We do takeout orders on a regular basis and it's always delicious

Best Indian food around. The menu changes weekly & I've tried it all. There's not a single dish I can't rave about. Owner is super sweet. A true hidden gem off the beaten path inside Cornell Creative Art Center.

Run straight to the website and order immediately! We’ve been ordering Mini’s food for pick up or eating it from the Kingston farmers market for a year now, and it is truly the best thing around. Vegan Indian food from across India, my favorites are always her South Indian weeks but today’s holi special menu was one of the best things I’ve put in my mouth in a very long time lol! Delicious paneer feta dip, mushroom biryani jeweled with pomegranates and cashews, and spinach pakora that made me drool.

My first time eating Samosa Shack was rly good - The tofu samosa I had was delicious and crispy and made me want to come back. My other orders were less exciting and made me suspicious. In the potato samosa, it looked like there was some kind of unnatural blue flecks or something, and last time I checked there aren't blue veg. SUS!! It also tasted a bit like the oil wasn't very fresh, like it had been sitting out or something. I cook a lot at home and love 2 fry so it set off some alarm bells. Got a jar of green chutney as well and it ALSO HAD THE SUSPICIOUS BLUE! It had a kind of weird processed flavor as well, like there could have been a preservative added. Almost like a vanilla taste??? So yeah, appearances and first impressions were great but over time got very sus and noticed some red flags, at least for me Sucks because I'd love some real authentic indian food in kingston

Everything is made by hand, with love and integrity, using local, fresh ingredients. Finally, Indian-inspired food is now accessible to the community of Kingston! Updated from previous review on 2022-09-28

I can’t even begin to describe the explosion of flavor in their amazing creations! I chose the samosa chaat picking the sweatPotato spinach and the potato pea samosas. Both so delicious!The bhel puri was the best I have ever had! Defiantly will be returning again!!

If you are craving down home (from the heart) Indian cooking, look no further! Now in Kingston, New York, the best place to track them down is at the Kingston and Rhinebeck farmer's markets on Saturday!! They also do catering and make the best damn samosas you will ever eat!!! I HIGHLY recommend you go try!!!
I am the biggest Samosa Shack fan. Being of Indian descent, my standards for Indian food are high; nothing is, as we say, like "home food." Mini's food hits that note while presenting local and seasonal variations on flavors and techniques developed over centuries. It's the best of modern Indian cuisine.
