A great addition in Newburgh for lovers of ethnic foods.
BE AWARE: this place is not a restaurant. It is primarily an Indian store selling ingredients, spices, and a variety other Indian items. The cooked food here is solely offered on a carry out basis and must be ordered in advance.
A few months ago when it opened, I went in out of curiosity and noticed a board behind the counter listing a variety of Indian dishes. I asked and they told me that yes they sell fully cooked homemade Indian meals. My wife is not so keen on ethnic but our three kids and I love it. On occasion my kids and I get a craving for Indian so we were excited. The down side is that you have to order 24 hours in advance and get it at the preset time.
Although the preorder thing is inconvenient ( but in the end probably better after all since it guarantee freshness in this area were the market for Indian food may be limited), we took advantage that my wife was out of town this weekend and we finally gave it a try today (We ordered it last Thursday evening for pick up today Saturday lunch).
WOW WOW WOW bar none the best Indian Food for sell in the Tristate. We ordered Butter Chicken X 2, Tikka Massala X 1 and Chili Chicken X 1. FYI: it did not come with rice or naan, so we had to make the rice at home (you can order these too but we just forgot to ask what came with the dishes when we ordered Thursday).
The portions were very nice and full Indian flavours. It was not spicy in Indian terms. Out of the thre the Butter Chicken was our favorite due to its excellent sauce. The other two dishes were good but no sauce on these so we will stick with butter chicken in the future.
Going forward we will no longer go to the Indian Buffett on Burkhart (the food there lately has become very bland). From now, we will just have to plan ahead when our Indian craving pops and order it there. read more
