We've dined here twice now, and it's fair to say the food really hits, though the service could be…read moremuch better. So far we've tried the Chai, Rava Dosa, Aloo Paratha, Chole Bhature, and Onion Uttapam. Loved the chai because they add cinnamon, which is my favorite touch, but the Rava Dosa has to be my top pick so far. The restaurant itself is pretty clean and has a cozy Indian vibe compared to other Indian spots around the area. The only downside has been the service. Our server seemed pretty disinterested and like he didn't really want to be there. You could tell from his face and body language. That said, I'll definitely be back to try more items because the food is worth it, but I really hope the service improves!

Worst service we've ever experienced. Three of us came for dinner, but only two meals were served…read more We finished our meals before the third person's food even arrived. When we brought this up, instead of apologizing or trying to fix the situation, two servers made a big issue out of it. The whole experience was extremely disappointing and completely unacceptable. Absolutely disgraceful service. We will never be coming back.

Tried their Goat Biryani and Paneer Tikka Pizza -- both were excellent. The Goat Biryani was…read moreperfectly flavored and that taste you only get when it's cooked right was there. The meat was soft and juicy, exactly how good biryani should be. Paneer Tikka Pizza- was just amazing, didn't expect it to taste this good. Crispy and smoky tandoori flavor. Its a must try here. The ambience here is really nice -- warm, clean, and inviting. The staff was genuinely friendly and made the whole experience even better. If you're around Troy, this place is definitely worth stopping by.

Visited Authentikka for the Sunday brunch. I love brunch…read morebuffets and Indian brunch buffets are kind of rare, so was excited about this. The menu included dosa selections, Idli, Vada, pongal, poori, aloo masala curry , chicken curry, rawa kesari, tea and fruit punch. While the idli ,vada sambar and pongal were good, the poori was very oily and both the gravies tasted average. So did rawa kesari- was mango flavored which was coming on too strongly. I would give 3.5 stars only because of the live dosa counter. We tried masala dosa and chill paneer dosa and both were really good. Thanks to the dosas, the brunch didn't disappoint on a whole but left me wanting for other common breakfast items like aloo paratha,bondas,poha may be ( I will have to check if it is listed as a south indian buffet) I would recommend this place for the dosa lovers. For the dosa selection in menu especially for the price (11.99 per person), I may go back after a few months. And yes, the service was prompt and the staff very friendly which I think deserves a mention.

I've been to Neehee's many times and this visit I wanted to make sure to leave a note. This meal…read morewas a Tuesday early evening, and was my son's first visit. For a kid with sensory sensitivity, this was the perfect timing to dine in. I was a bit sad to see the restaurant so empty and hope it was largely our timing. However, I can't negate the construction and horrible economic conditions as questionable contributors. The space is vast, clean, and today was peaceful. Generally, it's a lively atmosphere, cricket and kids in the background, and lots of gathering and conversations. The staff is always friendly and warm. One of the staff made sure to come by our table to check in mid-meal. It's a simple gesture and it makes me feel warm and welcome. We ordered gobi manchurian, masala dosa, veg fried rice, a mango lassi for my son and sugar cane juice for me. My son's favorite was the masala dosa- a comforting blend of flavors and textures, sambar was absolutely scrumptious. I practically inhaled my gobi, which is one of my favorite dishes. Perfect spice/heat level, well balanced and nice crunch from the bell peppers and onions. The veg fried rice was a safe third dish in the event my son was craving something familiar, and it ended up being satisfying but our least favorite of the order. I will say it was prepared well and I love the threads of vegetables throughout. Mango lassi was a nice buffer for some of the heat for my son, and my sugar cane juice was a surprisingly savory/sweet quencher for the ride home. Oh. And a scoop of butterscotch ice cream for the boy. Overall I am a loyal Neehee's fan and look forward to many more visits.

Visited late on a Tuesday evening and was greeted by courteous employees who walked me through…read moretheir elaborate menu while recommending some dinner options. I ended up getting their Mysore Masala Dosa and Dahi Samosa Chaat. The dosa was good but didn't really have that kick or the authentic flavor I was hoping for. The sambar was too watered for my taste. The samosa chaat however checker off all the flavor boxes. The chaat was tangy, but not too spicy and absolutely delish. They have a lot of seating that makes me think they probably get crowded on weekends and holidays.

First, Ziggy the owner is exceptionally hospitable. He will personally come to your table to make sure you love what you ordered. Ive been a customer for several years and since the first time I came to Paradise Ziggy always goes above and beyond. Secondly, the food has consistently been excellent. A few years ago I used to order biryani trays for parties then started coming in for carry out or dine in and every time everything I have tried is top notch. Recently I had their butter chicken and wow I was very impressed, it's by far the best (which says a lot!) I've had and surprisingly in a good way is more like a chicken tikka masala and not too heavy/creamy. Thirdly, they are open later than most indian restaurants in Troy and even delivery is 5 stars on uber eats or DoorDash. They don't skimp on quality when it's delivered through a third party service. Paradise makes sure they surpass your expectations every time no matter if it's catering, dine-in, carryout or delivery. If you haven't tried Paradise, definitely give it a try and hopefully you get to experience the warmth that Ziggy brings to each and every customer.

We have catered few times from Royal Indian Cuisine but this time decided to dine for dinner!…read moreGot seated immediately and a nice Nepali waitress welcomed us! The vibe is nothing fancy just a simple dine in Desi restaurant with Indian music on the background. Our waitress served us some masala chai and Alu Tikki on the house. ( We figured this later when the bill came. Thank you it was a nice surprise.) Since it's a Nepali owned restaurant we asked them if they had Momo and they did! So we got the chicken steam Momo with Keema Naan and Chicken Hakka Noodles. The masala and spice was less with simple flavors like any Nepali household. It was like home cooked flavors. The food was fresh and came hot. I loved the noodles and naan. The Mo:Mo was okay, like any other Nepali restaurant they were frozen and steamed later! But the chutney did the magic for Mo:Mo. We got some extra chutney for to go! Would love to come back and try some curry and Naan items. If you like Indian food with minimal spice and solid flavors, give this place a try! We didn't feel bloated or anything that night so we knew the food quality of the food was good. Good luck.

Very good service, food is good and spice level is consistent as we have tried it more than once…read more The lamb is flavorful. The chicken was delicious.

Appetizers: * Samosas - warm and creamy filling; crunchy outside, just like you would expect * Paneer Pakoda - creamy and cheesy * Masala Dosa - absolutely the BEST with the sauces and soup We were stuffed after eating appetizers but pressed on! Main: * Chicken Tikka Masala - an old favorite, exactly what you want in Tikka * Utappam - fluffy savory pancake * Lamb Rogan Josh - the lamb melts away like it's been braised into submission; so perfect. * naan, rice and sauces all perfect And even though we were too stuffed to move... Dessert: * Rice Pudding - served cold and creamy * Gulab Jamison - the syrup was even made fresh! * Rasamalai - cheesy and the pistachio made it balanced A few other things: * hospitality is amazing, so kind and attentive * incredible attention to allergy, just let them know * don't be deceived...you can't walk out, it's more of a waddle ENJOY!

We were surprised to see a lunch bar as we have not eaten at a bar since COVID. The selections looked plentiful and delicious so we decided to try it. I filled my plate with many savory rice, vegetarian and meat dishes: The flavors were varied and wonderful. The garlic naan was made fresh when we sat down and brought to our table. It was amazing: flavorful, thin and slightly crispy. We deducted one star because the temperature of the food was not hot enough for our taste, especially for a food bar. I also thought several of the chicken dishes had too many bones though they were tasty. The staff were all attentive and pleasant.
