Chatpata Indian Restaurant - Clifton Park, New York

Friendly service, salty kebabs.

I had been looking forward to the Chicken Sheek Kebabs all week, which may have been why my hype was not met. Ordered that along with the appetizer sampler, online, for a pickup later that day. Total coming to a little over $26, not too bad I thought.

Arrived a few minutes before the time to find my order was totally ready to go, but it felt warm and the guys there were pretty friendly and almost seemed excited to give me my order. So off I went home.

Digging into the meal back home I found that all the appetizers had gone cool, they had some great flavor, nice and spicy with Indian spices, but I bet they would have been even better warm as their cooler nature turned them a fair bit tough to chew. As for the main dish, the kebab, it was just so salty. The banana peppers draped across the chicken kebabs did help offset the saltiness, but after a few sections of kebab I was feeling my blood pressure rising.

Overall I would say this is a clear 3.5 out of 5 stars, but since Google doesn't do half stars, I will round up for the friendly service.

I've been ordering/coming here for some years now.

I tried this place on a whim initially. Thanks to that first experience, I gained a taste for Indian food.

I've tried other places and they just aren't the same as Chatpata. The food here is consistently excellent. The poori is never dry or crumbly. The way they make it (like a soft fried flatbread) makes for a sweet wrap you can put rice and meat in. It's delicious.

Very friendly staff. Food was hot, tasty, and the best meal we've had out all summer. The dessert was by far the best dessert I've had in a long time from a menu. My husband was a bit worried about eating here since it's in a small strip mall; don't judge it on location.

I've visited this restaurant 3x so far and every time the service has been consistently good. They offer delicious Indian food that can be tailored to your liking as far as the spicyness goes. Discovered this place through groupon which was a great value! I highly recommend the chicken pakora (best value for the amount of meat served), chicken tandoori, and the beef palak (spinach).

This is a delightful restaurant with wonderful food and incredibly friendly staff. I did takeout but will definitely be back to dine in. My food was piping hot even though I picked it up and took it home. I tried the lamb makhani, jalapeno cheese naan, and mango lassi and everything was very delicious. I highly recommend checking out this lovely local spot.

Loved the food. Buffet had a great variety and the mango lassi was delicious. Friendly service from a family owned business.

This restaurant is by far the best Pakistan/Indian restaurant in the area. Amazing food, freshly served. The uncle who was serving us was so sweet and helpful. Would definitely come again with family.

Came on 9/5/20 at 6:30 ish pm. The best Indian buffet I have tried. I am so full because you can not stop with only one dish. It offers a huge variety. Naan bread came nice and hot and fresh and buttery and very yummy. Yet, everything felt and tasted fresh (thought Tiki Chicken Masala was a bit dry I assume due to being reheated after main crowd at 5 pm). Clean place as well. Will definitely recommend as well as I certainly know we will Come back.
