The food was incredible and the meat was nice and tender! Highly recommend. The chef made sure to give us a fresh meal, and had it ready in less than a half hour. The sandwich bread was very fresh and tasty. Would definitely come back!!

LOVE BINAS!! Food that’s made with love & care. Lovely people & so accommodating to us vegans! Fridays & Saturdays they serve delicious curry dishes (sometimes off menu to make it vegan!)— & for lunch, their falafel & vegan sandwich is so damn good. Couldn’t recommend more!!

I had to check this place out, since the resturant shares half of my name. Lol Only need one word to describe this place....Delish!!! The chef recommended the Indian scramble and I am so happy I took his advise. The eggs were seasoned with a variety of spices and peppers. My taste buds were more than happy!!! I cannot wait to go back!!

Honest, tasty food. Staff is really nice. They have Desi (of the Indian subcontinent) dishes and Desi inspired sandwiches and breakfast items. Will definitely stop here again next time it’s on my route. Saugerties, the town, is charming too.

Went here today during the car show. Wasn’t expecting much just wanted somewhere to sit and eat. This food was AMAZING!!! My boyfriend said it was the best gyro he’s ever had and my sandwich was cooked to perfection. We live in poughkeepsie and would definitely make the drive to come eat here again. And such great service! :) highly highly recommend
