“Absolutely delish Indian food! It has become my husband and I's go to for Indian dinner. Best tandoori chicken I've ever had...the Naan and Kormas are very yummy! Man at the counter always has a smile! Can't recommend enough!“
“This was a great experience. We are from Kenya and we're visiting Schenectady for keisure.finding this spot was heaven sent.The food was amazing,awesome and well cooked.service and cleanliness was top notch and our server Karim was very friendly and welcoming.would highly recommend.Kid-friendliness: My 10 month old had a feeding chair.so necessary“
“Whoah what a hidden gem. My bf wanted to try this place and it did not disappoint. We ordered the duck curry and Chicken Tikka..delish! We watched him make the naan as we were waiting for our order. There is no sit down dining so call ahead for takeout as we waited quite a while. We were behind a gentlemen who said he travels 20 miles regularly for this place so that speaks volumes.“
“I love the food and the service is great! Lots of great options, including vegetarian. It's absolutely great no matter what you've ordered you can expect it to be delicious. My favorite thing here is extra spicy genuinely means spicy. A lot of places act like a slight kick means "extra" spicy when it's a true mild at best. I love this place.“
“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).“
“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 ??“
“I was CRAVING chicken Kashmiri bad tonight but my husband is not a big fan of the spice in traditional Indian food. As a compromise, we settled on Galleria 7 in Latham, a multi-ethnic food market with excellent vendors, including @Shalimar express.I called around 5 to ask if Shalimar express makes chicken Kashmiri. The nice man answered, told me no and respectfully hung up the call. Within five minutes, the owner, Leo, called me back to tell me that although they do not have chicken Kashmiri as a menu item, they were able to make a modified version and call is chili chicken. We arrived around 615 and Leo greeted us with a smile and a “it was you!!!” He proceeded to explain how he would custom make a dish for me and would make it suitable for my dietary needs. He really didn’t not have to but this man went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience.We received the food within 15 minutes and it was DELICIOUS. The chicken was soft and tender, the garlic naan was flavorful and the veggies were absolute perfection. My husband had the Curry chicken and loved every bite. Leo even came and spoke to us about his history, his family and his love for serving his friends.We never post on this page but Leo made this experience such a memorable one. He went far beyond great customer service and truly the food was Amazing. If you are ever in all Latham, give them a try.“
“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!!“
“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!!“
“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.“
“I can't forget that Peshewari Naan and Bombay Aloo. Two awesome items with perfect balance of spice. They asked us the spice level we would prefer. This is something indian restaurants usually do not ask. Loved that part. Two other items were onion naan (was good) but the Mughlai chicken, something was off about it. It could be the balance of sweet or the salt was not right. I felt like I am eating a thik gravy. I believe the tea was over brewed and to balance it more milk was poured in. That's just an opinion as I know taste of tea is very subjective. Besides all of this the portion of one order was good for two. I think they are underrated by themselves. I would recommend them to change the whole seating arrangement. Also, update your restaurant name to Ahmed Restaurant. It was hard to find it.Spend $36 for two. (1. Mughlai Chicken came with choice of rice/Naan, Aloo Naan came with Rice/Naan)“
“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 like the fact that there is open buffet between the hours of 11am-2pm. It's nice to go and grab some lunch while there's the option to get a quick buffet. The location offers a great parking spot as well as the option to take what you need to go. The cost for it is $16. The restaurant is close to Latham and is a not too far a drive away. If you're looking to get some Indian food in the local area stop by here in Latham to grab a bite to eat.“
“Best zinger burger in all New york, especially knew this when I went back to back The quality is hand slaughtered meat cooked hand bred style I have tried other meat and they aren't so juicy and tender inside while keeping its crispness“
