Minar Fine Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Town of New Hartford

Went here for my anniversary with my girlfriend. Place looked really nice. Some cool decorations at the entrance such as an elephant statue. Felt like a cool experience.

Got asked about a buffet but we just wanted to try out things from the menu as we've never been here. We are vegans so would rather look at the menu for things.

Lady serving us gave us our water in a wine glass and gave us our menus. We also got some thin crispy bread with some peppers and 2 other sauces I'm not even sure what they were. They were delicious though. I even added them to my rice later on!

For appertizers, we ordered the Veg Pakora, Veg Spring Roll, and Veg Samosa.

The Veg Pakora was delicious. The color it had was great and the flavor was just wow. It tasted like gourmet chicken nuggets.

The Veg Spring Roll was also tied for me in flavor. It was so creamy inside due to the noodle but had so much flavor. It didn't take like a chinese sprign roll at all. Really unique flavor and texture. This was tied with the Pakora for me. My girlfriend liked the Pakora more though.

The Veg Samosa was very interesting. It's very filling and taste like a meaty bread, almost like cornbread, and stuffing. Very filling. Definitely liked this a lot. If you need energy I'd prob get this.

The Chana Masla was what my girlfriend ordered for dinner. It was really good with the bread we got as well. Very flavorful and taste a bit gingery, but I don't think its ginger. Very good!

The Aloo Gobi Masala was so good! The color on this dish was so appealing and the flavor it had, eating it with the rice I think it came with, was so good. Definitely recommend this if you are unsure about what to get!

The Tandoori Roti was a really nice bread. Really good to eat with your meal so definitely get this or some of their other breads. Soaks in the flavors and sauces well.

I also got Mango Juice, which was really good. Tasted fresh and almost like ice cream. Delicious!

Definitely will be going here again for a pickup lunch or another date sometime. This place blew up my taste buds with flavors I've never had before. This place is definitely the real deal when it comes...

I have had good experiences here and others kind of so-so. I wouldn't advise being too late for the Tue/Wed lunch buffet (I think runs 11 or 11:30 until 3pm. One time I arrived at the start and everything looked beautiful but my food was only luke warm. Another time I arrived at 2:30, and all the warmers had already been turned off, nothing was bubbling like during prime hours, and it all looked way too cooled down and unappealing, so I passed. Ok, so that was bad news first. The good news is, when it's good, it's REEEALLY good. I start with salad and a yogurt based dressing. I love the navratan korma and the curry chicken best of all, as they are spicy but not too spicy. There are always vegetarian options. They bring you lovely, fresh naan bread, water, and they have mango nectar, Indian chai hot tea, and a couple of desert options (usually rice pudding and mango custard, though once there was an awesome dessert made from carrots - yes, carrots!) all included with buffet as well. It's really a great value. I went recently on a Tuesday around 12:30 and everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Of course you can order from menu as well (but I never have). A little more consistency and I would up my...

Ive eaten here mainly for the dinner buffet but also individual entrees. Mainly because I am unfamiliar with Indian cuisine and the language describing the food. The buffet is labeled as to what each dish is, but only in Indian language. If you dont know what Saag Paneer is, you must ask or just try a small serving and remember the name. As a warning, any dish labeled as Vindaloo is generally very spicy hot! The cuisine is both vegetarian and meat based except for no beef as it's against their religion. They serve other proteins like chicken, goat, lamb, pork in various sauces. Their chai tea is very good as is the dessert rice pudding and the sugar ba ba . The staff is very friendly and great with answering any questions about the foods!! Price is very reasonable and generous portions. The buffet is more than a single person can eat unless you take small samples to try ! That way you get to know which...
