    So, this place is new in the area. I decided to place an online order which was perfectly seamless. It said the order would be ready in 30 minutes. I arrived 15 minutes later and went in. No staff in sight. I waited a few minutes before noticing a paper bag on a shelf by the counter. Sure enough it had my name on it so I took it and left. I got 2 chicken Samosas and the Aloo Tikki Chaat. The samosas were pretty horrible. The flavor was there, but they were so dry that I can't believe they were fresh. I mean like Sahara dry. The Aloo was REALLY good. 1st time ever having it and I was pleased. The portion was enormous! The samosas were huge too, but you know - they didn't taste good. I ate one and threw the other one in the trash. I hate wasting food but they are borderline inedible - the chicken has the consistency of saw dust. The restaurant looked really clean, so that was a plus. I would have like to comment on the staff, but I didn't see any. They also have a full bar... Took 1 star for the samosa and another for the lack of staff.

    Namaste Indian Poughkeepsie 260 North Rd. (Across from Marist) We lived in Jackson Heights, Queens, NYC, in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. The first Indian Restaurant there was on 74th St. It was called Dehli Palace. That became our gold standard for Indian food, one of my favorite cuisines. Eventually, dozens of Indian Restaurants followed, transforming the area to the aptly-named Little India. But none of them could hold a candle to Dehli Palace. Our favorite dish was Reshmi Kebab, a platter of sizzling delicately spiced chicken breast on skewers over a bed of onions and peppers. Some Indian restaurants call it Murgh Malai Kebabs. This new restaurant in Poughkeepsie names it Malai Kebabs. And it's the same as our Holy Grail...Reshmi Kebabs. Swoon! We started our lunch with Vegetable Pakoras and assorted vegetable fritters. Then the aforementioned Malai Kabab (Boneless chicken breast seasoned with an array of herbs, spices, ginger, garlic and cream.) A lovely Basmati Rice, and Tandoori Roti Service was attentive and gracious. I included the wine list because it was so thoughtfully curated. The room is simple yet elegant.The bill came to $37.20 including an $8 tip. We will be back!

    I've come to the realization that I need a bumper sticker along the lines of "I Brake For Momo's."…read more Knowing I was going to be in the Pougkeepsie area for a meal later in the day, I checked to see if any Himilayan/Nepalese restaurants had come to the area. Sure enough, I found Momo Garden. Being convenient to my itinerary, I invited a local friend to join me for a quick lunch (just momo's), and a chance to scope the rest of the menu. Their website and sign say open at noon on Saturdays, but they were already open when I arrived a few minutes before that. We were given hot tea after being seated. I don't know if you always get that (they have a chai on the menu), but because the restaurant was still warming up from the chilly morning, the tea was very welcome. Various other alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are also available. Papadam and sauces were also brought to the table. The momo's come in 2 varieties, chicken and vegetable, and you can get them in several ways, including fried, steamed, and Jhol, which is the street-food style served in broth. These were delicious, even better with the dipping sauce. The vegetable ones might fall apart a little bit, so you may want to use a spoon instead of a fork, to be sure you get every bit of the deliciousness. This is a great addition to the area. The rest of the menu will just have to wait until my next visit.

    First time here, but I've been eyeing the menu for a while. I'm glad I stopped by! I ordered the…read moreBurnett Blackout drink which was tasty, fruity and strong. I had jhol momo which were spicy and filling. The service was excellent, I was able to order quickly and my food came just as fast. I can't wait to come back to explore more of the menu!

It's the best thing I've seen and the smell of the rice is very fragrant, very aromatic! The ambiance of the location itself is cute and very clean. Ran by a couple that prepares all the food from-scratch, including the Mango Lassi. The beverage tasted like it was made not even 5 minutes before I got there, it felt like biting into a mango. I also purchased masala chai tea to brew at home. They also sell fresh okra and curry leaves to cook with- unheard of around this ares outside of farm stands. For anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions, they said everything is kept kosher and halal, no shared bakeware for meats and vegetable dishes.

    The customer service was great the couple was so nice. The store was nice and clean. The food…read morewasn't bad just had an expectation that wasn't meet like I would wanted it to be. I order the butter chicken, chicken Marsala, plain naan and a mango drink they made in house. The two chicken entrees seemed more on the watery side than a gravy consistency. They were also more on the bland side with the say flavor other than that the spices were spicing lol. The mango drink was definitely delicious it was like a mango yogurt but more liquidity. I didn't get to take photos I should've did that. And also I bought a Coca Cola in the glass bottle and it wasn't a screw off so I wasn't able to bring it due to me not having a bottle opener nor did they offer to take it off for me.
