    Zupadi Indian Restaurant is worth a detour if you're craving Indian cuisine in the Scranton-Wilkes Barre area of Pennsylvania. Nearly perfect reviews had me a bit skeptical initially, but once the food started coming out, we were pleasantly surprised. While it's located in a strip mall and it's not overly fancy inside, the interiors are modern, warm, and inviting. The menu is quite extensive in its offerings, and for drinks, they also offer canned beverages from India like Thums Up and Limca. To drink, I had a mango lassi (5/5) that was fresh and refreshing, with just the right amount of mango taste accents without being too sweet. To start off, they provide a complimentary puffed rice appetizer with a side pickled onion chutney which was a nice way to start off the meal. For the appetizer, we ordered the onion pakoras (4.5/5). The onion and chickpea batter preparation was really good without being excessively salty or oily, and served in a generous portion size that was perfect for sharing with multiple people. For meals, we ordered the cheese butter masala and saag paneer. The cheese butter masala (4.5/5) particularly jumped out at us, as the menu specifies that it's prepared with Amul cheese (fairly well known in India), which I haven't seen in preparations at other Indian restaurants. While it was a bit on the heavier side with the cheese mixed into the tomato-based gravy, it was very unique and well-liked, and a nice change of pace from typical paneer makhani or paneer masala recipes. The saag paneer (5/5) was a similarly delicious preparation with its tasty spinach-based gravy. Even the naan (5/5) we ordered was fresh and fluffy, just the way we like it. Despite us encountering multiple wait staff over the course of the meal, the service (5/5) was excellent and even the chef came out during the meal to personally check in on us to ask how everything tasted, and to ask us if we needed anything else. It was a nice touch that really impressed us as we haven't seen that in ages; other Indian restaurants should take note that it's little things like that along with the quality food that can really make an impression on guests and keep customers coming back. If I had one minor gripe, it's that they didn't have all the desserts on the menu available (including the one we wanted), so we wound up skipping dessert, but probably for the best since the portion sizes were generous and we were stuffed from all the delicious food we had. While I usually estimate my overall rating to half stars on Yelp and then either round up or down, I'd rate the restaurant a 4.75/5, and am happy to round up as we very much enjoyed our meal and the service provided. We agreed that we'd return to Zupadi, and I would recommend them to others looking for quality Indian cuisine in the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre area.

    Bones instead of meat.

    We ordered two dinners one with goat korma and the other with chicken kadai, but the goat was all bones. We tried calling the restaurant three times. The third time the phone did not go through. Nobody answered for the first two times. The food tasted good, but for the price and the number of bones you received and hardly any meat, it was disappointing. The chicken was ordered with no spice and it was extremely spicy. Attached, you will see a picture of the bones that we received in our goat korma. There was maybe 3 small pieces of meat, the rest was all bones.

    Incredible weekend lunch buffet
    Christina H.

    The weekend lunch buffet is outstanding, and not just because there's nothing like it in the area. Everything was fresh, well-stocked, and hot, but the variety was the highlight of the meal. Naan, pakora, samosa, chutneys, raita, vegetarian and meat curries, tandoor chicken, shrimp biryani, dessert, coffee, amazing mango lassi and free dosa at the table. Warm, welcoming atmosphere and service. I highly recommend.

    Some the best fish, lamb chops, and tandoori chicken I have ever had. The service was also great. I would definitely recommend.

    Visited the Stegmaier for brunch over the holiday weekend. I'm not sure if it was because of the…read moreholiday, but there were only two other parties during our visit, so it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. The wait staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. While the brunch menu left a bit to be desired, I kept it simple with two eggs and toast. The food itself wasn't the highlight of the experience--instead, it's the setting and ambiance that truly make the Stegmaier special. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated, from the vintage salt holders and silverware to the historic décor. One of the standout touches was the tableside Bloody Mary service, presented on a tray with droppers of truffle oil and hot sauce so you could customize it to your liking. The staff also encouraged us to explore the upper floors, which added to the experience. The grand piano in the entrance, the stunning chandelier lining the staircase, and the beautiful stained-glass windows made the building feel both elegant and full of history. I think dinner is probably where the Stegmaier truly shines. Because of the timing of our visit and the holiday weekend, brunch was our only option, but I imagine the evening atmosphere offers an entirely different experience. I'd definitely return to give dinner a try.

    So disappointed with this place - one and done for us! Guy playing piano - way too loud and…read moreannoying - we could barely talk. Service was very very slow. Waitress never came back to ask how our meals were after serving them and then never saw her until we were done eating. Food was so so - no where near the level that I would expect at this price point! Steaks were tough. I got mushrooms with mine and they were not on the steak. Paid $6 per person for a slice of bread - like wtf is this? Every other restaurant gives bread for free. Everything was way over seasoned - I guess to mask the poor quality of the meats. $6 for a draft beer and 11.50 for a house vodka tonic. Such a rip off! Never again!

    This place is not only the most beautiful dining establishment in all of northeastern Pennsylvania…read moreand the Poconos, but also has the finest dining service, selection, and quality of food and drink, as anywhere I've ever been. From being greeted by the parking valets, Stanley & Dwayne, (who actually ran ahead of me to be able to open the door for me), to the host being extremely accommodating after I realized I was an hour early for my reservation, the bartenders, the servers, the food runners, several managers stopping by to see if everything sufficed. The amuse bouche was absolute perfection! My Caesar salad with boquerones was as good as I've ever had anywhere. I ordered the salmon as my entrée. I considered not ordering it because it came over risotto, but was assured by one of my servers, Angela, that I would not be disappointed. I've never had a great risotto served to me in a restaurant other than at Cafe Rinaldi in old Forge. I was gladly mistaken. This risotto was perfectly prepared and perfectly flavored, it was incredible. Their cocktail selection is perfect. Annie takes the classics, and makes them her own, with homage to the spectacular gilded age surroundings, right down to the rarely seen ingredients and glassware. There's a libation for everyone's taste and a great wine list as well. The Mansion Manhattan was as good a Manhattan as I've had anywhere. Their level of service is unsurpassed by anywhere in the northeast. This certainly has a lot to do with the leadership and the training program (not to mention, their hiring process must be impeccable!). The only place that could even compete with it service-wise is the French Manor in Sterling. This is one of the only two fine dining restaurants in all of northeastern Pennsylvania. I noticed that every party that walks through the doors is treated like they are the most important guests of the evening. (THAT is another component of fine dining). When you go, take a minute to walk around and see the different rooms and compare them to the original pictures from the early 1900s that were used in the restoration process. Amazing!
