Great restaurant! The dining room was closed due to a temporary issue with the A/C, but the owner gave me a seat at the bar and was helpful with recommendations. I cose Curry goat served with Naan. So tasty. Perfect level of spice and flavor! I will return the next time I am in town. Weekend buffet is supposed to be great. Affordable entrees.

We came here out of state and it looked like a clean place (which it was mostly) we ordered 3 appetizers and 3 entrees. They all came out in different order and the food was cold and old it was not made fresh at all you can tell they just heated it up…the biryani had no flavor they said it was Hyderabadi dum biryani but they had just cooked the rice separately added some color and than added a chicken they use in another dish on top..the rice was also hard like plastic and the chicken tikka masala was SWEET and flavorless…..it was not authentic indian food more like white washed food…the restaurant had almost 80-100 seating space but their bathrooms did not work according to them which is weird for such a large Restaurant and weird for both men and womans bathroom to be out of order at the same time. Anyways wont be coming here again wasted $85 for 2 ppl and we left all the food. I would give a 0 star if I could

we went to the Saturday buffet at 9 spice and it was one of the worst experience we had. Kadai paneer was very watery. And the service was also not good. The food was not properly cooked (manchurian was too hard) and it was so cold. We informed the people working there to heat it up but nothing was done. They took 30-45 minutes to refill everything. They told us that they had a big order which they need to complete so that’s why there was a delay. To complete that order they compromised the quality of our food. The experience was VERY BAD.

Probably the best Indian restaurant right now in the entire Albany-Troy-Schenectady region hands down. It is only a pity this restaurant started operating as I am preparing to relocate from this area.

I can’t recommend this place enough. I discovered this restaurant last year and nothing compares. The food is so good and the service is great! I go a couple times a month because at this point I am addicted. I get the butter chicken and samosas every single time. The chicken is so soft and the curry is outstanding. I usually alternate between the garlic naan and the cheese kulcha which is a type of naan that is stuffed with cheese. The samosas are amazing and so flavorful. This has got to be the best Indian restaurant in the capital region for sure. I can’t wait to go back!!
