Tried their Karavalli Martini, Chickpea Salad, Crispy Eggplant and Aviyal the first time, and was blown away! Every dish and the cocktail was OUT Of The WORLD! Fresh ingredients, in the perfect proportion. Had to go there again, and go I did. Tried the Aviyal again, their cocktail Namaste and a plain dosa, and was at a loss of words! These are dishes Ive had all my life at home and outside, and I am a pretty good cook myself. Yet, Karavalli beat them all hands down. The vegetables in the Aviyal were cooked just right, the gravy was flavourful and of the right consistency, and the colors too, were a treat to the eyes. The plain dosa tasted better than Ive known, and the coconut and tomato chutneys (that are normally disappointing at most restaurants) were simply finger licking good! The fresh coconut oil tempering in all the dishes made it all the more delectable! Scooping out the bit of every dish was very satisfying. To top it all, was great service! Move to New Jersey, Karavalli! I would even pay twice the money, and be a regular customer.

If you want to go to a nice, homily Indian restaurant (its brand new and well decorated), this is a good place to visit. You wont be disappointed with the dishes that they serve, and theyre not too heavy. The restaurant had a certain charm to its style and the waiters/staff were friendly. I gave this restaurant a four/five, losing one star because the food portions could have been a little larger. Price wasnt too bad (average dish is about $15.00 with a meat dish being about $17.00 which comes with rice, appetizers are about $4.00-5.00 each, and they have an extensive wine menu too). There is another restaurant only a block away by the name of "Little India" which has been around for longer and you might want to check out them too. If I had to choose between the two though, I would go with Little India for the slightly bigger size portions and slightly less expensive menus.

After visiting the disgusting "taste of India" Indian restaurant around lake George area, I decided to have the best Indian food for that day. I found this wonderful South Indian Karavalli cuisine in Saratoga springs on google maps. No matter if I have to drive even 20 miles away, I decided to do it. The first warm "Vanakkam" touched my heart, my wife and daughters were pleased too. The chef and owner mr. Santosh was warm and welcoming. The staff were courteous and treated us well. The food was awesome, unique flavor and taste. The karavalli special kabab platter was really wonderful. Finally, the smile on my wife and our beautiful daughters made my day and a happy vacation. I highly recommend this place for lake George visitors, not too far.

This was my first visit to Saratoga Springs and Im sure it wont be my last. Good food is important but so is great service. Myself and my family really wanted authentic Indian food, we visited few indian restaurants in Capital region and although we were very hungry, the general atmosphere was very unwelcoming. We by chance happened upon Karavalli, as soon as we walked in we were immediately welcomed and seated. The food was very flavorful and affordable. Great service, great food and absolutely tremendous ambience. I definitely wont miss this restaurant in my upcoming trips to Saratoga springs.

Good food, wide range of options (including vegetarian/vegan), lots of delicious appetizers, and especially attentive service (we were checked up on many times, always had water, and our server was funny). Definitely get the tap water instead of the fancy bottled water that costs $. I had lamb with a spicy curry, and it was very tasty. Would recommend. Im just a tourist, but its likely a highly competitive local option. The food seems appropriately priced all things considered. Not cheap (as youd expect of a family owned, authentic Indian restaurant), but not especially expensive either.

We were driving by Saratoga springs when we stopped here for lunch. There was a weekend Lunch buffet and the main course items were delicious!! The South Indian menu Items were mouth watering delicious and healthy too with a great variety of vegetables being used for different menu items. The servers took extra care of us by clearing the plates once we were done and checking up on us if we would like more "Dosa". I was not happy with the desserts offered though. But I would not complain about the main course items and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

This is a perfect place to experience authentic Indian food. I visited this place along with my family couple of times since last few years. The staff here are always so very kind to us. We had a signature dish, fish in banana leaf that is coming with garlic bread, vegetable biriyani and some salad. My wife had chicken chettinadu.The owner is always present and making sure everything is perfect. On a rainy day they even offered us an umbrella that is something we could never expect from anywhere else. I wish them all the best and would love to recommend this to anyone.

I was surprised to find an Indian Buffet in the city with such quality food. Karavalli offers quite a few south Indian dishes which were prepared just like I found in India. The buffet items were well flavored and delicious. The staff brought dosa and naan to the table for us without us requesting them, overall this is one of the best Indian restaurants Ive been to in the US.

Well, this was a surprise. Just passing through and looking for lunch. I have eaten Indian food just about everywhere, including England and even India, but this has to rate with best. It was just for lunch but the choices were varied. The lamb curry was excellent, and they had this lentil dumpling dish that was nothing like Id ever had before. Highly recommended.

Last evening July 5th my family and I visited your lovely restaurant and we all had our choices of food from your very comprehensive menu. We were excited and more than pleased with the dishes and it is our wish to be regular visitors to your jewel in the crown of Saratoga Springs. Thank you all for a lovely meal so nicely presented and with so much courtesy.

I expected more from this highly rated restaurant. We went to the one in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The $10. assorted vegetarian appetizers all tasted the same. The Chicken Tikka Masala is our all time favorite. Not quite as tasty as others we have had. $17 is steep but the portion size was ample.

Food was nice and good taste. much better than other Indian joints in Lake George. They also prepared a custom order for kids, since they didnt want to take buffet. We were a group of 20 people, we call on our way , and they keep the space reserved for us. Keep up the food taste and service!

Fantastic Indian lunch buffet $11.99! Came here with 6 coworkers and sat in the small dining areal on the left. Staff was really attentive, always cleared the empty plates and filled our waters. The food was delicious and really fresh. The restaurant and its bathroom were very clean :)

Karavalli serves authentic Indian food. We ordered shahi Paneer and naan. Paneer was delicious and naan were as soft as they could be. Me and my family loved the food here. Service was good too. Highly recommended place to go for Indian food.
