Very interesting food. I've never tried Indian food before and I have mixed feelings, but I feel like it'll grow on me. I order Tandoori Chicken, which looks bomb as hell, and Shrimp Tikka Masala. The Masala itself was decent. It has a buttery and tomato flavor. There are lots of other spices in there I'm not familiar with that kind throw off the pallette. But it tastes GOOD enough that you feel like you'll get used to it. It's an acquired taste. The only problem with this dish is they cooked it too long, so the shrimp was rubbery. Well, that may not be their fault. I'm sure it continued to cook in the hot Masala as I waited on the delivery. Just keep that in mind. Any shrimp and chicken you get delivered will be IN the hot Masala and will keep cooking, potentially drying out, long after they finish making it and packing it up for a to-go or delivery order.
I ordered mine for delivery the first time, which is honestly a mistake if you aren't familiar with Indian food, because the restaurant gives you a lot of little sauces and I honestly had no idea what to do with them. I received another dip type of thing. I honestly couldn't tell if it was a dip for the cracker things they give you, or if it was another type of masala. It didn't taste the same as the one for the shrimp. Then there was also some pickled chilies and onions (spicy), some type of green puree that I had no clue what to do with, and another dark sauce that KIND of tasted like BBQ. So yea, as a person who's inexperienced with Indian food I didn't know what was meant for what.
Only other comments: I wish at least plain Naan bread was free. At least ONE piece for the sauces. But I didn't feel like paying $4 extra for it. Also, it'd be nice if their menu described their dishes just a little better. Like, maybe a better description of the flavors and spices used.
Other than that, decent place. Will try something different in the future. Was super interested in trying the Lamb Korma, but was too scared as a...
Read moreI’m only giving two stars because the portions were at least decent and the interior was pretty nice. This place does a buffet in the lunch time and I’m pretty sure all our starters were old because they came out fast and weren’t hot at all. We had some type of fried green chili - bad, super dry, tasted like cornbread batter. The chicken 65 was cold and tasted like they just drowned in it chili paste. It was sour and tasteless really. The lamb kebabs we ordered was probably the worst. SO DRY. And the sauce they gave us was similar to cold spaghetti sauce. The rose lassi I ordered was not good. I didn’t like it. I couldn’t manage more than a couple sips. It didn’t even really taste like rose. For our dishes, we had the chicken vindaloo, special chili chicken masala and goat biriyani. Vindaloo was the only decent dish, okay flavor. NOT SPICY AT ALL despite us asking for extra spicy. The biriyani was okay, not bad. Not special though. The special masala was our least favorite. The sauce was similar to the chicken 65 but there was more batter in the chicken. I was basically eating boneless wings doused in yet again some type of chili paste sauce. Sour tasting, not pleasant. And also not spicy. We requested everything to be spicy and it disappointed. The food here is considered good for the area. I’m a well-traveled gal and got stuck in Plattsburgh unfortunately for family so I have to deal with the lack of options. If you think this food is good, I’m so sorry for you. Your taste buds...
Read moreAs a lifelong North Country native it's always refreshing when I think of an excuse to travel to Plattsburgh and go to the Indian Grill. Being on a tight budget, I don't like to spend a lot of money when I go out so the affordability of the Lunch Buffet is perfect for me when I also want to treat someone. The food is great and very unique for our area and I really enjoy getting the opportunity for the many different flavors of the terrific Indian Cuisine. This is not your average buffet. The food is served in fancy serving dishes that keep the food hot and fresh tasting. Everything is clean and attended to by the highly attentive staff.
Our server was Rupesh. Rupesh is very kind and alert while not being overbearing. All the staff is very kind and gentle and you will never run out of water or have a dirty dish on your table for very long. It's really a joy to be there. They are proud of their business and treat you like you're buying a $100 plate.
Another nice thing about an affordable dinner is that I can tip big and after giving Rupesh a 75% tip he gave me this wonderful mango drink to go on the house. Thank you Rupesh!
A great idea is to go to the Indian Grill before or after a movie at the mall across the...
