There is always a realtive and absolute scale, so.... absolutely speaking this is not a restaurant (no atmosphere at all), the food was very average (we had the buffet though, so hopefully a la carte is better), the chicken had way to much artificial smoke flavour, the potatoes were half raw, as were the chick peas. Dessert was so cold, you could hardly taste the flavour. As for the service - non visible. We had to ask for our drinks (Mango Lassie was average, too) other than the water that came right away, people were waiting at the door to be seated for minutes (restaurant was empty) and you had to go to the cashier to get your bill paid. Having said that, on a realtive scale you just have to take the price into account and I guess you just can not ask for more at 6.95 USD/pp - although, we also had very cheap and excellent Indian Restaurants in DC, so thats not really an argument. I was very dissappointed, especially seing the good reviews here before...really weird.

Worst Indian food restaurant I have ever come across. People who like true indian food would never like this place. I ordered masala dosa, so the waitress just got the masala dosa and when asked about Sambhar and chutney, her reply was that you have to order that separately, and the cost for that separare order is 13.94. I am glad that I didnt waste my money on that separate order coz the masala tasted like masala of aloo parantha stuffed in that salty crepe. My husband ordered tandoori chicken and it was undercooked, coz we could see red colour meat. The best thing in the menu was cold plain water, thats it, Period. Hope this review help people to not waste their money.

Please avoid this place. I ordered curry goat and samosas and woke up sick the next day. As I write at night, Im still nauseous and my stomach is still upset. When I picked up my food, I thought the food didnt look fresh, like food that had been reheated several days over. It didnt taste as flavorful and aromatic as Indian food usually is - I am a huge fan of Indian food, so I should know. Anyway, I dont know what kind of crap they served me, but for $20 for a half-eaten dish, it surely wasnt worth it. Maybe others have had a better experience, but I"m just sharing mine. I hope the owners see this and take extra sanitary precautions.

The food here is always excellent. This is one of the few restaurants in Ithaca that I actually get excited to eat at. I can tell they take so much pride in their food and it shows. The spices/ingredients are always perfect. Out of all the Indian restaurants Ive eaten at this one is most definitely the tastiest. Dont bother with the popular restaurant chains in the area that are content with simply throwing food together, not caring how it comes out. There are much better options here, and this is one of them.

In terms of food, this place is above average. They have masala dosa with the buffet. The service is poor. We had to keep asking them for water refills, tell them to clear the old plates. Also they didnt refill nan and dosa until we asked them for it. The waitress was new, probably it might be because of inexperience. Anyways, they can do better. I would prefer mehak if given a choice.

Ordered through grubhub. Delivery estimate was 30 minutes and the driver was over an hour and a half late. A relative refused the order, as I was no longer home. The the driver lied to the restaurant, indicating the food had been delivered. In other words, he attempted to cheat me. Look somewhere else, especially when getting delivery.

Their food is, simply put, incredible. I do my best to visit as many different Indian food restaurants and I ALWAYS come back to this one. I cant tell if its their Aloo Palak or their vegetable korma but theres something special in their food (Experience? Skill? Love?). Either way I have yet to try a dish from them that I dont like.

I am from NJ and we went to Ithaca for a vacation. There are many Indian restaurants in NJ but I never had such delicious food anywhere. The cook knows perfect blend of spices for every dish. Being Indian and my love for cooking I can say you would really enjoy this place if you now how real Indian food tastes.

the goan fish curry is delicious and a relatively unique item. sometimes during the lunch buffet, they have kadai chicken and gulab jamun, which taste better here than at most other indian restaurants I have been to. I wish they had a better selection of south-indian dishes.

Sangams lunch buffet is certainly a great deal for the money ($6.95), but i really like spicy Indian food and the offering at lunch is mild, to say the least. I guess its to cater to broader tastes. I much prefer ordering a la carte whenever possible.

The food here tastes great, and is authentic. The manager is very kind and attentive to all the customers. I love going to the Lunch special buffet from 12-3PM every day for 9 dollars. You wont regret it! Their curry is amazing.

Delicious, hygienic and more than enough quantity Indian food was delivered on my daughters birthday celebration. We like to thank Sangham Ithaca Indian Hotel Captain, Staff and Owner for exceptional service !

We went for the lunch buffet. It consisted of typical Indian dishes like chicken curry, butter chicken, nan, rice, chickpea curry, and others. The lunch buffet is $10.50 which is a reasonable price.

For lunch all-you-can-eat, it is very nicely prices at around $7, and the food is great for that price. Although choices are limited, they usually have good tandori chicken, and an awesome dessert.

Very good food at reasonable prices. We especially liked the taste differentiation among various dishes. Also, open late (10 pm) and 7 days: always a bit of a worry in an unfamiliar city.

Good Food. We just went tonite and loved their fish tikka and botti tikka. Their papri chaat was good also but the portion was small. Recommended.

Fine local Indian food; best in town. In bigger cities, however, you can fine much better Indian food.
