The well organized menu includes good descriptions and fair prices considering the high quality of the ingredients used. Orders can be placed online or by telephone. Parking is easy. Now that we have tried it, we are happy to have this recently opened take out restaurant three miles from home. We definitely will order again soon! The family enjoys Indian/Pakistani food locally, especially at Karavalli, Spice Malabar, and Shalimar in Latham. We think this food was as good as we have had there. A few dishes were even better. Each of us was very pleased with our food choices. Our order included: Pakora as an app. The raita was outstanding! Best I have ever had. Chicken Tikka Masala -- flavorful and with very tender moist pieces of white chicken. Chicken Buryani -- excellent Tandoori Chicken Beef Kabob Goat entree Lamb with Creamed Spinach -- tender meat with delicious spinach Dal Tadka -- lentils Garlic Naan I am including a few photos. Highly recommend folks supporting this small business.

They also offer DoorDash and GrubHub food delivery and online ordering for pickup. I placed my order online and headed over here and my food was ready bagged when I arrived. I ordered 2 Vegetable Samosas ($4.99 plus tax) and a Shrimp Biryani ($14.99 plus tax). The vegetable samosas were pretty good, which had a firm flaky crust shell filled with potatoes, seeds, spices & curry with a sweet & spicy dipping sauce and a yogurt dipping sauce. The shrimp biryani had a mild spicy flavor with 8 tender shrimp (with shells on) over soft rice mix. However, I did find a piece of goat meat in the mix, no biggie. Overall, pretty good food at a fair price.

The chicken tikka masala is nice and creamy and doesn't have a strong tomato taste like some places, which I appreciate. Everyone that works there is super nice. I think the portions seem a little smaller than full serve places but the size is still adequate and the prices are relative.

For what is essentially an enhanced food court experience, you get a pretty tasty meal here,…read moreeverything comes out quickly, and the owner takes very good care of you. The menu is pretty extensive for the seemingly small kitchen space you can see behind the counter. My vegetable samosas (2) were piping hot and had a decent amount of "not potato" in them, accompanied by 2 sauces. The Chicken Tikka Masala Bowl includes a generous amount of well-prepared rice. Normally I pass on rice except as a vehicle for sauce, but I finished this. The sauce had a reasonably deep red color and an enjoyable spicy flavor, maybe a little less tomato flavor than I've had elsewhere, but still quite good. Naan, wrapped in foil, is fresh and hot, but not necessarily crisp. Flavored naans will have the flavors as a stuffing. My mango lassi was excellent - I almost wanted to steal a larger milkshake cup from nearby Herbie's and ask for that to be filled up instead. All in all, if you are looking for an Indian meal while at Galleria 7, you will be very satisfied here.

It is an open Kitchen mostly takeout place with several booths/tables for dine in, if wanted. Ordered for pickup: Chicken Bihari Boti, six pieces Lamb Curry with Rice The chicken was very tender and delicious. A small salad was included. I would order this dish again even though the menu has many enticing items. The Lamb Curry included a tasty, flavorful white rice that complemented the curry well. The owner included extra sauces including a Mint-Yogurt one that was delicious. I should have ordered one of the many varieties of Naan, and next time I will. Check out their menu. The owner greeted you with a smile. Two others prepared the food. While another customer (Gyros) and I waited for our orders at 11:30 am (I arrived early), the owner served us a sample of their Kheer after asking us if we had a milk allergy. This traditional Indian Rice dessert was far superior in flavor and texture to what I have eaten at other local restaurants that serve it. (Kheer is a creamy, traditional dessert made by simmering rice with whole milk, sugar, and aromatics like cardamom and saffron.) The owner even included a complimentary serving of Kheer with my order. Nice! They thank you for your order when you leave. The restaurant was pristine including the recently washed windows. Parking is plentiful. I want to order food from here for my family who likes this cuisine.

Oil that was used for few weeks. Service was a take out order. So good and fast. Some people were sitting for lunch buffet. Naans were dry and rubbery. Poori looked and tasted like white tortilla flat bread fried. I don't know what to get couple good authentic Pakistani dishes around. Sheesh kebab was okay, it was that $2 chicken kebab chopped with some onions n green peppers and lemon and they charged me $15 for it. $45 down the hole. Raita was too sweet and carroty. It's basically American version of Desi food. They just took the Desi out of it. Kashmiri naan was just the most unappetizing orange colored thing with coconut shreds in the folds. What happened to almond shreds and raisins on Kashmiri naan. Post Covid times, food is just super expensive and the quality is gone. I am done. I want to really post a great food review, that will make my taste buds sizzle with flavors.

Impressed that they received a 100% compliance score from Health Department. No violations. Bravo! One complaint: Buffet starts at 11:00, yet Naan was not put out until 11:50. However, the Plain Naan was warm and very good! I was selective about what I put on my plate. Again, Tandoori Chicken was overdone--dry and tough even the thigh piece I tried to eat. Not okay. Chili Chicken is good. It is similar to Chinese Sesame Chicken. Tikka Masala was very good with tender chicken. Spinach with chickpeas was good. The two rice choices were nice and hot. The Mulligatawny Soup was lukewarm and thin and spicy as expected. Cabbage is excellent! Nice flavor and cooked well. Dessert was their regular rice dish that I did not want to eat.

This review is specifically for people with oil issue…read more Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience. Let me just start by saying that Authentic Pakistani food is greasy, they do have oily puddle in their curry. That oily puddle deep or shallow is called "Taaree". If you ever visit Lahore, you gotta go to the andoronay Lahore, old Lahore basically and every small restaurant you will go to has some oily greasy side to it. All you gotta do it, pour it out or use paper towel to soak oil out of your dish. That's all. Pakistani/Indian dishes are not the healthiest kind but of course you can make any Desi (Pakistani/Indian/ Bangla) dish healthy if you make it at home, with very little or no oil. Or use coconut OR any other oil substitute. Ordering a take out is a treat for most of the population, so unless you are going to just settle with little bit oily dish then what's the point. Just grab a paper towel and get rid of the excess oil and still enjoy the Authentic Pakistani dish. I am just a customer at Spice and Beyond and I understand that they might not be perfect but they are doing a pretty good job of bringing part of Pakistan to New York. Have a wonderful day.
