One of many great meals at Karavalli. Seems to get better all the time. Quiet when we arrived for an early reservation. Seated promptly, a bit difficult to get a waitperson at first but after that great service. The waiter/bartender took extra care either a cosmopolitan order placed a certain way and took it upon himself to add a bit of an ingredient not normally included. It was wonderful.
For an appetizer rather than the usual fried fare we shared a spring dosa, sort of a large pancake filled with veggies and a bit of cheese. Delicious.
Dinner was vegetables Malabar for one of us…..vegetables in a mild coconut based curry. Spouse had half of the Tandoori chicken, perfectly done and spiced, and I had prawns melee, a plate with large shrimp in a coconut based curry, rice, broccoli, and garlic naan. Compel and I enjoy it more every time.
Best Indian food we have had in Albany and maybe anywhere.

Plentiful vegan options and the service was incredible!! Our server told us that 70% of their menu is vegan/vegetarian! They also had Dosas the size of a small child! We were well taken care of and will definitely be back!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I’ve been 3 times and ordered takeout once. Every time has been fantastic! Quality food, amazing service, and very clean. They make a huge effort to make sure you have a great experience and I always have. If you haven’t tried this place, you definitely should.

Food was great. Service lacked a little, I wanted to order a second drink, but they never came back for me to get another. Staff was curious and nice. Food was prompt, and delicious. Other than the second drink, everything was amazing. Edit: they have a very large vegan and vegetarian menu, didn’t realize this was posted in the vegitarian section. Everything we ordered can be ordered in those sections.

I ordered the tamarind margarita; hubs ordered the old fashioned. I got the chicken korma and veggie samosas, hubs got the goat chettinadu and garlic naan. Both drinks and food were phenomenal! I’ve never had Indian cuisine this good, nor have I had a margarita this delicious. The entire meal was a sensory experience. Our server, Akil, was kind, attentive, and a lovely conversationalist. We will happily return soon!

I stopped by Karavalli in Latham for their lunch buffet, and it was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and you can tell they put real care into the food. The chicken tikka masala was the standout for me, creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced. I also loved the gulab jamun for dessert, warm, sweet, and just the right texture. I finished off with a madras coffee, which was the perfect way to wrap up the meal.
The staff was friendly and attentive, and I loved the new wall artwork, pictured below. Definitely my favorite Indian spot in the Capital Region

Firstly, if I could give 1,000 stars to the staff, I would in a heartbeat! The staff were all SO friendly, welcoming, kind and just brought a genuine kindness and warmness.
The atmosphere was SO nice, too. Very clean, very pretty, and overall just a fantastic vibe to it. The decor was excellent, seating was comfortable, plenty of space.
The food was also fantastic! The naan was delicious and my group of four enjoyed all of our appetizers, meals and drinks so much! I had never tried an actual Indian restaurant before, I would a million percent be back again! Everything had an excellent amount of flavor and there were plenty of options to choose from!
10/10 big recommended on this place!

Wait for the food was a little long but it truly was a worthy wait. The food was fantastic; some of the best Indian cuisine I have ever had. Mentioned it was a friend’s birthday in the reservation and they gifted a nice dessert. I don’t think others exaggerate when claiming this is perhaps the best Indian food in the Troy/Albany region. The atmosphere was also perfect, as the waiters were truly kind and patient.
