Sahota Palace — Restaurant in Town of Salina

The atmosphere and service were nice and our server was patient as well. The criticism is mostly about the food- the dessert was nice but most of the food was not up to expectations at all. The tikka masala and daal makhni were way too watered down and the it tasted like uncooked raw spices instead of getting that feel of spice in the food (iykwim). No flavor of any of the ingredients in any dish as well and I am a desi myself (with a love for spice) but it was like they put laal Mirch on top to make it ‘spicy’ instead of actually cooking it. The chaat had no papri and instead broken up samosa pieces even though I explicitly ordered the papri chaat but nonetheless it was fine. Went in with very high expectations of the food but it was not up to par. We tried the food and after the first few minutes we literally had the vibe of “we could make any of this way better at Home” and you know as a desi when that happens it’s not good and the food was definitely not even mid. I really hope it gets better tho cuz no hate o anyone just wanted to give a honest review...

I am on a limited budget since moving to NY and was craving Indian (which is my favorite). Wanted to treat myself today and after seeing mostly positive reviews I decided to try this place. Sadly I was beyond disappointed. I typically rate all restaurants according to the most popular dish and for Indian it’s Chicken Tikka Masala. This restaurant puts very little cream in their sauce and there were more large chunks of onion and pepper than chicken, which caused the sauce to taste like a tomato onion (think spaghetti) sauce rather than that quintessential masala. The peas in my rice caused my rice to taste more like peas then a nice full bodied basmati. So overall this meal tasted predominately like peas and onions....definitely not that wonderful spicey creamy chicken we all crave when ordering this particular dish. I won’t be returning to this restaurant, so being new here hopefully Syracuse can offer me an Indian restaurant that will satisfy my...

I've come here many times in the past. I've been disappointed the last few times I've gone for the dinner buffet. Our last visit was last Sunday. I really struggled between giving 2 or 3 stars (2.5 stars would be my true rating) . I decided on 3 for the following. The staff has always been attentive, respectful and welcoming. The dining area has always been clean and the food tastes good. My issue is that the last few times the food in the buffet has been cold. Either their steam table was not working properly or the food wasn't freshly cooked and was refrigerated before hitting the steam table. I'm more leaning towards the latter. I'm hoping they pay attention to these reviews, because I'm hesitant to return and starting to wonder what happened to the quality food they used to serve. I'll probably give it another chance in the future and hope to update my review with...
