Even though we knew that this restaurant, FLAVORS, existed...it was an Indian Restaurant...and I had never tried Indian food before. I have issues with food that is too spicy, but after reading up on the subject, I discovered that there are items on the menu that I could order that weren't THAT spicy!
So...off we went to check out, FLAVORS, the Indian Restaurant located just off Main Street in Canandaigua.
When we first walked in, I felt as if we were entering a spa! It was very tranquil...with candles lit and the light smell of incense...and flute music playing softly. We were escorted immediately to our table...and our water glasses were promptly filled. Our waiter was soft spoken, and exceptionally polite. We truly were treated like royalty. It is kind of nice to be treated special...every once in a while!
I explained to our waiter that this was my first time eating Indian food and I had a couple questions for him. He was more than happy to explain the menu to me and even had a few suggestions on what to try. I must admit that my most favorite thing was the Naan Garlic Bread that was served to us with three different sauces...one was a mint sauce, one was a tamarind sauce, and one was a white yogurt sauce...similar to the sauce found on Mediterranean food.
I came away with one thought in mind...I would highly recommend FLAVORS to others and we will return! But, THEIR idea of spicy and MY idea of spicy are two very different things!
So, tell me...have you ever tried Indian food...do you have a favorite dish?

Oh my word what a wonderful review and the photos excellent!! I'm with you on the spicy hot. Flavors seems to have an excellent wait staff and I tell you feeling so tranquil when you enter a place sure does put one in the mood for whatever their service might be.
My Uncle G lived in Syracuse for about 5 years after grad school. The peeps and my sissy went to visit him in 1982. They were amazed at the beauty in up state NY. And Uncle G took them to the Finger Lakes for supper one night. It was in July so they sat outside gorgeous area!
Hugs madi and mom

No, I've never tried Indian food. I'm curious about how your definitions of spicy differ. I'm not big on real spicy food
We love Indian food! Everyone should try it! We'll have to check out that place.
Mom has never had Indian foodables and now you have her wanting to try it, Miss Jeanne! Everything looks delicious!
Yes, I would definitely say....go for it! Nothing ventured...nothing gained! :)
I never had either Ann...but my husband had and he liked it so I thought I'd give it a try! It was just a bit spicy hot...not overpoweringly so...I am very sensitive to spices. I would definitely recommend trying it!
I am positive that there are ZERO calories in all of this fabulous food!! :)
Well then, Kinley, your momma would LOVE Flavors!! Ah yes...the Texas in her...SPICY for sure!!
Yes, it is a really nice place to live...we have been here 25 years and just love it! In the summer, our cottage, a couple hours north of Syracuse is a beautiful area also...you have probably heard of the Thousand Islands! Yes, I would definitely recommend Flavors Restaurant should you find yourself in the area again...but CALL ME and I'll go with you!!
It truly was great! The atmosphere was so very inviting and tranquil. We will definitely go back again! I could make an entire meal out of the Naan bread!
Oh my goodness Phenny! You totally crack me up!! Hope the Icy Cold Yogurt helped!! :)
