I love Indian cuisine.  There aren’t a whole lot of choices in our area, but thanks to our friend Owen, we found out about the new Taj Mahal, and it’s near us, at 3138 Erie Blvd. in Dewitt.  It’s in a building that used to be Quiznos, in a plaza that has the Guitar Center (it figures that Dave would notice that!).

The decor is pleasant and new.  They were doing a brisk business the Wednesday night we were there.  The service was polite and attentive, yet the staff seemed to be rookies.  If it’s true that the restaurant’s forbear is Samrat up on the SU hill, I wonder if they are actually grad students.  They did well enough, and I’m sure they’ll be on a more firm footing soon.

While on vacation our habit of eating at late, Spain-like mealtimes becomes even more entrenched. So we didn’t hit the New Delhi Indian Restaurant until after 3:00 p.m.  Thank goodness they were still serving the lunch buffet. The restaurant had a steady stream of customers, including one table of over a dozen people, so the food kept coming out of the kitchen hot and fresh. (more…)

Samrat: 701 S Crouse Av, Syracuse, (315) 479-6051

Good food, convenient Syracuse University location.  Still, we prefer Sahota Palace in Liverpool as the best Indian food in the area.

Sahota Palace: 668 Old Liverpool Rd, Liverpool, (315) 413-0016.

We feel that this is the best Indian food in the Syracuse area.  It’s a fun, pleasingly decorated place, and we bring friends here repeatedly.
