9 Spices Indian Cuisine (albany)

I ate at 9 Spices this past Saturday night. It was a terrible experience, start to finish.We were brought our entrees (Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Korma) without anything on the table. We had to ask for plates, silverware and napkins. When they arrived, we just dug in, even though there were no rice or Naans (The menu listed a choice of rice or naan, that were supposed to come with the dish. We ordered one of each). We also ordered two appetizers: an onion pakoda (on the recommendation of the owner) which came out cold. And Aloo tikki, which were three small patties. When the rice and naan finally came out, we were halfway through our meal. The naans were cold and dry.The kicker to this entire disappointing meal? The prices listed on the menu (and their website) are not accurate. After I paid for the meal, and was suprised at how much more expensive the bill was, the owner told me they'd raised their prices, but hadn't updated the menu yet. Chicken Tikka Masala is listed at $15, I was charged $19.95Lamb Korma is listed at $16, I was charged $18.95, plus an additional $3.50 for the naan which is supposed to come with the dish.The Aloo Tikki is listed at $6, I was charged $8. The Onion Pakoda wasn't on the menu, so I don't know what the price is listed, but I was charged $11.95. For a cold, fried dish.I would not return. The food and the service may be worth the lower prices but certainly not the ones they charged me.

Great Place! The customer service was fantastic! Especially Sirisha. For the food we ordered Madras Chicken curry which was really good, we also ordered the paneer butter masala which was ok.

Got in here with a different approach, more than usual. And it worked ??Order the Indo-Chinese fried rice ?.Was not dissemination, but they did well with a hint of cilantro to complement the dish alongside my Order. 4Sad part only fish available was tilapia.

It's really good. It reminded me of my Nepali friends and their cooking when I lived with them back in college. Will order again, or visit in person for a meal with co-workers. Want to learn the recipies myself someday as I am found of this cooking.

There wasn't enough biryani . The quantity is very less.. not sure if they put what was left off as they were about to close.
