“We thoroughly enjoyed the food but the staff and appearance of the restaurant put us off a bit. We ordered quite a selection for lunch which turned out to be enough for dinner as well. Ordering online was easy enough and our meal was ready in a short amount of time. As mentioned above, it was the staff and restaurant that was a bit off. Our meal was packed in paper bags, plastic containers, and stuffed in a plastic bag. Based on all of that, I thought we would definitely be disappointed in our meal. However, the food was so good that it offset my initial impression. We ordered two (2) vegetable samosa as we were not sure how many came with each order; there were three per order for us. They were still warm, crispy, came with sauces, and had good flavor. Unlike some samosas I've had, these were completely filled with the potato and pea mixture. We shared the Aloo Chat which we thought was the best tasting dish with the mix of yogurt, tamarind, and mint sauce. Our soups were good but nothing fancy. We had the coconut soup which had quite a bit of fresh coconut but seemed light on the beshamel. The Mulligatawny soup was surprisingly a smooth bisque. We saved our entrees for dinner which were Chicken Dopayaza and Chicken Vindaloo. Both were good and flavorful with large chunks of tender chicken. I highly recommend the Dopayaza with its tangy tomato sauce. Don't let the appearance of the restaurant or the gruffness of the staff stop you from trying Jewel of India because their food is good!!”

“I ordered a golden whole chicken and rice cakes. This was my first visit. I’ve heard so much about the great chicken. I was not disappointed. Korean-style fried chicken isn’t greasy and it doesn’t include the same rubbery skin as American fried chicken. It’s so much better! The rice cakes were spicy and the fish cakes were definitely a bit fishy. They weren’t bad but the order was too big to finish. The staff was running behind on my order. For some reason, a lot of lunch orders came in at about 2pm. I think I waited about 10 minutes, but the staff was very nice and friendly. The food was well worth the wait. The restaurant is small but clean and cute. I can’t wait to try some of the spicy chicken dishes.”

“The hubby and I enjoyed a great Sunday lunch at Build a Burger yesterday. A fun, "dive bar " type atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing (and delicious) Sunday date. We sat at the bar and our waitress (I feel terrible that I have forgotten her name) was so friendly and spunky, singing along to the music, answering our questions, and clearly loving her job. Now, onto the food. First off, we ordered Way Too Much. These portions are not to be taken lightly- they are serious portions for serious eaters. Mozzarella sticks were the only "regular" sized item (5, just about perfect for sharing). The loaded fries (see picture below) needed at least one other couple to help us finish them. So worth it though - gooey melted cheddar and lots of (really good) bacon, served with sour cream. Now, onto the burgers. We each had a sheet to fill out, checking off which toppings we would like to add as well as the temperature of our burger. This is also where you can select another protein (pulled pork or chicken for example). So many options! As soon as they arrived and were placed in front of us, I knew I was in trouble. I had eaten too much of the appetizers! Seriously, though, it was so good! Melted cheese, shredded lettuce, fried onions. The patty is thin - like a smash burger - so next time I would step down to medium from medium well, as it was still just a touch too done for me (totally my mistake though and didn't affect the experience at all). I travel a lot and haven't seen other places offering this unique customizable experience. Oh, and bonus, we paid in cash, so they gave us back $6 in "store cash" to use for food on our next visit. If you haven't been, I suggest you round up at least a few people to help share all off the food and try it out. I think Tuesday nights there might also be some kind of promotional mug night for drinks? Overall, I can't recommend this place enough!”

“It's been hard to find a decent sushi bar with fresh fish, but I must say i was not disappointed. We drove down from watertown, and I'd do it again. (We also had other business down here) but great service and friendly. Highly recommend the rainbow roll and the spider!!!”

“A great place to find specialty products, local treats, vegan options, bulk, gluten-free options, and high quality ingredients. I also do much of my regular grocery shopping here. Certain ingredients can be pricey, but I find prices on your run of the mill items to be comparable to other places. There are food items that I’ve become attached to that I can only find here.”

“I love coming here. The service is always quick and friendly, and the food is amazing. I typically get the 2 protein bowl, and it lasts me two meals. The options for proteins, sauces, toppings, etc. are plentiful, and there is something for everyone here. That being said, I would look at the options before coming here. If there are only 1-4 things you enjoy, the bowl will not be as full, and the price is not as justified. I almost always get white & brown rice with seasoning, salmon and spicy tuna, house soy, edamame, crab mix, seaweed salad, carrot, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo, eel sauce, nori, masago, and sesame seeds. Any of their canned juices are delicious as well. Definitely consider giving this place a try if a lot of the options appeal to you.”

“I looked up for indian grocery store in Albany & wow it has so many than what I thought. I went to this one and love it!! Won’t change it for any other places. It’s very clean, organized and the lady (I guess she was the owner) was super nice & very helpful. My husband is Turkish and was soo happy to find lot of Turkish items. Love it and can’t wait to visit again.”

“Now this place is something very special. Vegan/vegetarian options, upscale atmosphere, down to earth and friendly staff. Food is absolutely amazing. A diamond in the rough. If you didn’t know it was there you would drive right past and you would be missing out! Love it more every time I go and I will be going again hopefully soon. Suggest the pasta which is homemade and delicious, mushroom meatballs, chicken franchise, pizza, and bruschetta! Nothing better than sitting down to fresh baked bread with a dish of parmigiana to sprinkle and some olive oil to start. I miss it already💖”

“Friendly staff, ordered my food for pickup only had to wait a couple mins. Got shrimp hibachi. Veggies could’ve been cooked longer to be softer, and the shrimp was good maybe slightly overcooked. But I was hungry and it hit the spot. Definitely will go again sometime”

“The atmosphere immediately when your walk in the door is positive and welcoming. The servers, host, management and udders were extremely attentive and knowledgeable about all the good items served. Our waitress Phoebe was just a breath of fresh air. She was honest and open that she was a new server there and had only been employed a few days but that she was a long standing customer since childhood and recommended the chicken Sinatra as her favorite dish. Highly recommend and we will bring the whole family next time”

“I will say this, the pork fried rice went a long way. I kept it for weeks, did well in the summer. I had high hopes for every and was decent when I came to it. I don’t remember how, but it did work out very flavor. I think chicken be better choice and will do this every time. Listen to me it will only work if you swallow well no problems. Get drink.”

“Authentic Korean food! We got generous Korean pickles with rice which I love 💕. The reason I took one star is because the hot pot dish was not so flavorful ( l needed salt and soy sauce to add) and it had very little shredded beef. Also I wish they would offer more small dishes like a soup and salad. But overall it's a good restaurant we're definitely going back.”

“I check out Hu’s House’s menu online and when I saw tripe and intestines and jellyfish I was in! When I see all the “parts” on a Chinese food menu I know they’re not catering to the non-authentic diners. And I’ve been wanting to try jellyfish for a while now. Hu’s specializes in Shanghainese cuisine. But the menu is, honesty, ENORMOUS. Page after page after page. Something for everyone, IMO. You can eat vegetarian or vegan if you prefer. I do have to mention the atmosphere/physical setting because we restaurant folk DO need to make an effort and I felt a distinct “lack of effort” when I entered. To whit: there are 2 fish tanks in the restaurant. One right at the door as you enter and one beside the bar. Both contain just a few inches of dirty water and dangling fishtanks heaters. They’re giving “abandoned.” Also just, basically gross in a dining space. I mean fine, have fish tanks or don’t. And it you’ve gone over to “don’t” you need to empty those babies out and get rid of them. They do not belong inside a restaurant in their current state. The second thing is the bar itself. They’re clearly not using it/sitting it and have the entire surface covered with piles of napkins or paperwork or just “work stuff.” Also not a good look. Again, if you won’t want to seat your bar, then don’t. But clear it off, don’t have piles of random stuff all over the place. Put in the effort to tidy your spot up. I was there mid/late afternoon, so it was quiet with one person handling the front. Unfortunately I had completely lost my voice and do nothing but whisper to communicate. But the ginormous menu also has pictures of every dish. So I was able to point! I have to give my waiter snap for refusing to let me order the spicy Szechuan Fish Stew because he said it was too spicy for my already struggling throat situation. I’m pretty sure he was right. He also felt duty bound to tell me he thought I had ordered “more than enough” food. Again, he was right. But I wasn’t trying to finish everything. Just try everything. And he was down with that. LOL I started with: Cold Cucumber with Garlic - DELICIOUS, fresh, I feel like garlic is particularly important when you’re sick!; Steamed Shrimp Dumplings - served in the stacked, bamboo steaming baskets with delicious dipping sauce, excellent; Steamed Vegetable Buns - REALLY GOOD. I never had anything like this before. Basically a dumpling made with the same dough you’d use for steamed buns. They were filled with spinach and mushrooms. Very good in the dipping sauce; Jellyfish with Soy Sauce - Pro Tip: Jellyfish turns out to be pretty challenging to eat. It’s cut into really, really long strips. Like noodles. Only they’re not as easy to bite into pieces as noodles. So you wind up hanging over your plate with a mouthful of jellyfish strips trying to chew off the part that is hanging out of your mouth. I mean it was pretty good. But that was kind of too much effort for me!; Vegetarian Duck. Yes, Vegetarian Duck. I was like, “I have no idea what that could be. I must have it!” I have no idea why it’s called Duck. But it’s really good. It is baked/cooked Tofu skin layered with a mushroom filling. Think something like lasagne only with extremely thin Tofu instead of pasta sheets and a chopped mushroom filling. I was CHALLENGED by the Jellyfish and the Vegetarian Duck. And the challenge was entirely me trying to get the food into my mouth… Then, after my waiter told me I was NOT up to Szechuan Fish Soup I ordered Singapore Noodles and Vegetarian General Tso’s Chicken. Sinapore Noodles are very thin vermicelli stir fried with onions, peppers, egg, shrimp, chicken and ham and PLENTY of curry. I requested no chicken or ham and so got Singapore Noodles with only shrimp. They were delicious. Plenty of curry. I think next time I might request it a little spicy… The Vegetarian Chicken was actually big chunks of fried tofu tossed in the General Tso’s sauce. DELICIOUS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Perfect comfort food for someone who doesn’t eat beef, pork or poultry but loves the General Tso’s flavors…”

“I bought a 10-piece family meal, two 3-piece chicken combos, & a five piece ghost pepper wings. The cashier, was fun & engaging taking the order. We ate some of what I ordered in the restaurant, then, chatted with one of the employees, while she was on her break. She was very informative about Popeyes & very engaging inthe rest our conversation. I would definitely go back to that Popeyes Louisiana in Albany, New York as much as I would go back to the one on State Street in Springfield, Massachusetts.”

“This is a Spanish and Jamaican grocery store a quick stop place. The food here is excellent cooked well with great taste. Also cakes are baked here homemade not a box by scratch. People are Pleasant here when you check out and friendly too. I go there often.they have a lot of interesting drinks from different countries such as Jamaica and Puerto Rico and I go there often to get them. Such as Irish moss and Malta beer and ginger beer and they're good for you better than soda”

“SENSATIONAL. From the beginning, the staff was super friendly and attentive. The bread and oil was delicious and had a bit of a crunch and heat to it. We ordered two Peroni beers and they brought out chilled glasses for them (amazing). For start, our meals came with a soup or salad. I got a salad with the tomato basil dressing and it was THE BEST salad dressing I've ever had. He mentioned several other dressings and they all sounded home-made so this felt no different. My boyfriend got the soup of the day, which was a seafood chowder. I tried it and it was AMAZING. I'm not normally a chowder person, but this was nice and thin and creamy, not too thick. I got the lobster ravioli which was absolutely stellar. It tasted home made to me and I'm convinced it was. If not, they got it from the best distributor around. My boyfriend got the chicken francese and it was, to quote him, "twice as good as the best francese I've ever had". The place is very small, so reservations are definitely recommended. We won't be eating any other Italian place. This was amazing.”
