“Had not expected something like this during my US travel.Paani Puri assortment was many notch better than what we get in Mumbai.Vibes is all Deshi and representation of PAN India taste.Chandrakala Gujia popular sweet dish from Patna ,Bihar was another pleasant surprise.Vegetarian options: It's not just vegetarian but great taste and perfect blend of spices served with warmth. Loved the place and loved the food.“
“They recently renewed their place , the atmosphere is really good and have started a bar also now, the food here is very spicy i found it absurdly spicy so be sure of what you order for, the service was also good, maybe i tried a wrong dish but it was really spicyAnd also is a little bit eon the expensive side for the Indian street.“
“Went as a last minute decision. I was so happy that we did. We started with the vegetable sampler platter. Our main courses were chicken vindaloo and mango curry chicken. The food and service were both exceptional. I would highly recommend the restaurant. Will definitely come back and bring the kids.“
“If you’re from Maharashtra and are tired of substandard pav bhaji and vada pav at every Indian restaurant, then behold - this is the greatest pav bhaji you’ll find in the state.First up - they have the pav that is the closest to what you can get in Maharashtra. Soft and flatter - none of the buffed up nonsense being served up everywhere else.The bhaji itself is excellent and buttery.I’m going to have dreams about this dinner!Highly recommend trying out the gulab jamun as well. It’s made fresh and served hot! Excellent food and thoroughly enjoyed.“
“Fantastic home made food. By far the best authentic food I have had . Absolutely phenomenal. The food was not too oily, had freshness and depth in flavor and was delivered to the table with a smile, this indeed felt like homemade food. Amazing work! I will be back again and again.“
“I really like Kebab and Kurries, the food is authentic and great, and service is warm and friendly. I particularly like their mixed chicken tandoor platter, the sarson ka saag, and the goat curry (punjabi style).During the last visit also had a nice chat with the chef, Anwar, who does an amazing job with his team in making authentic indian dishes.“
“Best Birayani & more is your go-to spot for mouthwatering biryani. Their aromatic biryani, whether chicken or lamb, is a must-try. But it's not just about biryani—the butter chicken and paneer tikka masala are equally delicious. With generous portions and friendly service, Best Birayani & more is your ticket to a flavor-packed Indian feast.“
“First time visiting this restaurant and it was great! The owner is a very pleasant, hospitable and a kind guy. Went above and beyond to cater to our needs. Food was very good and the owner, as mentioned, was very accommodating.W restaurant; would go again.“
“Fluffies offers fresh and delicious high qualitychicken. The service is fast and friendly. I love the crisp of the signature sandwich! The place was super busy on a Friday night but the staff were friendly and fast service. The dining room needs more attention. Highly recommend trying it.“
“I have not been here yet, but I went through many of the reviews and also have the pleasure to know someone personally that could not say anything else BUT WONDERFUL things about the flavorful food and spices.I am also looking forward to meeting Alok seems to be the #️⃣1 employee ??“
“I always saw this restaurant walking or driving by and always wanted to go in For apps we got the jalapeno samosa and they were amazing. We also tried the cauliflower bites and this spinach chaat which were amazing. We also got the achari chicken as an app and with the chutneys it was probably the best thing on the menu. For main course we got a butter chicken and a paneer tikka masala and were solid options. Service was good. Everyone was attentive. Kinda small place but loved the decor and the mural on the wall.“
“We love this woman owned, Pakistani /Indian restaurant that recently opened. Food is typical street food. Kathi rolls, chaat. Yumm! Clientele is diverse, service is excellent. We love that you will see the owner herself there all the time. That makes a huge difference. Can’t wait to go again!“
“Very delicious food! We tried a lot of different dishes including vegan options & totally enjoyed it. The customer service was very amazing. The staff made sure all the food was good & even checked in to make sure the food wasn't too spicy for one of my friends. So sweet! Definitely coming back!“
“This is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant ! The food is fantastic and no matter what I order i was delighted with my meal! Servers are also great and efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for wonderful,tasteful Indian cuisine . Trust me !“
“Ordered takeout:Chicken Biryani4/5. The marinade on the chicken was incredible. Perfectly seasoned and chicken also so tender, well cooked, and well-portioned. The chicken component itself deserves a 5/5. The rice however, also good, but personally, I like when the marinade has merged uniformly, or when the rice has been evenly coated with the saffron water/turmeric or whatever flavor and color blend is used. The rice was also on the greasier side. Therefore for personal preference reasons, the rice was a 3/5 for. The chicken was the star indeed, and the spice level was also magnificent. Hence a 4/5.To note, two other people whose opinions I tryst give the biryani an overall 5/5. So it's still pretty good to say the least.Chicken 65This was a 5/5 dish. Good portion, well-spiced, and very aromatic. Chicken 65 done well. Fabulous.Overall, the flavors presented were great, portions were brilliant, and I'm excited to try other things from here!“
“We celebrated a birthday party with a group of 12 people. It was our first time visiting Basil. The service and food is AMAZING! The variety of food (Thai to Indian) as well as Vegan options were perfect. We have few ppl with severe allergies and we had zero issues. We highly recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Allergies“
“Swadist is hands down one of the finest Indian dining experiences we have had in NewJersey City I say that having eaten at plenty of Indian restaurants in NY and NJ. We were a large group that tried many appetizers and entrees and not a single dish disappointed - every bite was amazing. The owners have not overlooked a single detail in not only the menu, but also the elegant decor. If you are looking for authentic Indian food with a modern feel, you will not be disappointed!“
“Tried this restaurant in Wayne. Food was delicious and amazing. Kids loved Veg pakoda, panner tikka in appetizer. Chicken malai tikka was the best I ever ate. You can't skip Dal Makhani and Shahi paneer. Lamb kadai was freshly cooked and perfectly spiced. Loved their mango Lassi, Faluda ice cream. Oh, kids also Hakka Noodles. I didn't know, but they also have a dine-in option now.“
“We dine in at this restaurant in a group, they are all very friendly people and they brought the food on time. Nabin was our server he was very friendly. I was would like to recommend my friends and colleagues to visit the restaurant if you are near New Jersey area. Ask for a NAbin as a server. We will definitely visit the place again in future.Thanks!!“
“This place has the best Indian cuisine in town! Definitely worth it. Jami is so helpful and patient when I’m trying to order takeout. Jami and the other staff are always so kind to answer any questions I have about certain dishes and food items. I hope to try the lunch buffet sometime soon— there’s many delicious meals to choose from. I usually order Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Masala with Basmati Rice and Garlic Tandoori Naan. I also love the Mango Lassi and the Masala Chai. Everything is fresh and the service is exceptional. Bengal Spice will always have a special place in my heart for quality comfort food!Vegetarian options: The menu is labeled clearly.Dietary restrictions: This restaurant has made necessary changes if needed to my order to accommodate my dietary needs.Parking: There’s a free parking lot in the plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat here with their families.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is wheel-chair accessible.“
“One of the best Indian restaurants around! The food is hot and delicious, the service is amazing, they made me feel comfortable, I felt very homely. 100% Bengaluru Vibe. Love it! This is the go-to place if you're looking for great Indian food!“
“Loved Masala cafe’s food . Ordered parotta,paya and chicken fry .: All were super good and tasty.. also their biryani was very good.. Thank you for giving us South Indian taste and your restaurant ambience wow .. loved all tamil dialogues which was the first attraction to try the food.. service was excellent and best filter coffee ever .. will definitely recommend to our friends and will visit again for sure .. Thank you ??“
“A Flavorful Experience at Manjal Indian RestaurantI recently dined at Manjal Indian Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the culinary delights it had to offer. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance welcomed us, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.We started our culinary journey with the Chicken Biriyani and King Fish Fry, and both dishes exceeded our expectations. The Chicken Biriyani was fragrant, with perfectly cooked rice and tender chicken, while the King Fish Fry boasted a delightful crunch and burst of flavor with every bite.The attentive service further enhanced our experience, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction.To top off our meal, we indulged in two cups of Madras coffee, which were nothing short of perfection. Rich, aromatic, and with just the right balance of sweetness, it was the perfect conclusion to our dining experience.Overall, our visit to Manjal Indian Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. With delicious food, impeccable service, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's a culinary gem that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic Indian dining experience.“
“In the mood for Indian food we saw that Kamal Palace had really good reviews. All in, it was worth the trip.The food was not great but it was good. The samosas were a tad oily and the curries were not as flavorful as I would have hoped.However, the service was great and the price can’t be beat. Seriously, we ordered two apps, two dinner plates, and two orders of naan and it came to about $50!“
“I have ordered Vadapav, Dabeli, Bombay grill sandwich, and Punjabi Thali. It is very very delicious. We came from canada to visit our cousin. I never ever find the taste of this Punjabi Thali in Canada. Also Vadapav, Dabeli, and Sandwiches are way way better than Jay Bhavani Vadapav(In Canada). I am highly recommend this place if you are around that place.“
“Great option for Indian food in the grove street area. However, it’s a 7-8min walk from the train station. Parking is hard to find. But the food compensates for all that. We had two appetizers- Samosa Chat : its at least had 1.5 large crispy samosas in it, appropriate amount of chutney and yogurt- Goat Fry : very flavorful and tender .I am a big fan of sizzlers, so we ordered- Clove garden mix grill : it looked amazing when they brought it out but it was a miss. Some of the meats had dried out by the time we could eat it.For main course we had- Lamb Biryani : meat was tender and incorporated with caramelized onions. It was slightly spicy but very flavorful- Lamb Rogan Josh : lamb was perfectly cooked and the sauce was indulgent- Chettinad Gosht : the chettinad flavor was mild but it went nicely with the Biriyani .- Bread Basket : very generous with their portions . It has 12 pieces of assorted breadsLastly we had desert- Gulab Jamun : it was warm and soft. Appropriately sweet.- Ras Malai : I prefer milk based deserts, I liked it the most- Gajrella : Less sweet than regular .“
“This place is a gem! We came here because our initial plan of eating at tribos periperi fell through when they were suddenly closed on Saturday (maps said it was open). I had heard of Indian inspired burgers and fried chicken before in Manhattan, so we decided to try this place out.\\n\\nThe place has 1 table by the window, then a bar with some chairs along the counter, and finally an area with several more tables.\\n\\nYou order at the counter, they'll ask your name, so I thought it was self pick-up, but in our case they brought the food to us.\\n\\nWe weren't sure what sauce to use on the chicken wings so we asked about the masala and the walla, as those two sounded the most special/distinct. They let us taste the sauces and we went with the walla, it's super good!\\n\\nThey didn't take long to prepare our lamb burger, beef burger (medium cooked ?) and our chicken wings, along with a side order of fries and a side order of sweet potato tots.\\n\\nThe burgers were delicious, juicy but not too messy, with a very nicely cooked thin patty full of flavor. The fries and tots were both incredible too, couldn't stop eating them! The tots are more interesting, but I do prefer the fries because well made fries are always the best side.\\n\\nThe chicken wings were small but packed with flavor (we also did get 7 instead of 6, probably because of the size? Or maybe they were just that nice). I only tried one because my husband is the one that loves wings the most, but I really enjoyed this one too!\\n\\nService was great! I expected it to be more self service, but they were very involved and made sure to explain what needed to be explained, and to ask about our meal.\\n\\nI'm not doing great at explaining, so I'll let the photos speak for themselves!“
“I'm so glad it's in my neighborhood, though I'd wish it was not on Newark Ave (and maybe exchange place with a view). The food here is great, the few times I've had a sit-down here the service has been good too (the staff was very friendly). I continue to order from here, pick-ups are super smooth too.“
“My husband and I went to Jyoti for dinner and we were so pleased with everything! It’s family owned and you can feel the care from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. Friendly, attentive service. Delicious food very authentic. They even gave us free mango drinks to help us with the spice! This place deserves 5 star reviews and we will be back!! And our server Megha was lovely, ? thank you!!!“
“Nice place, conveniently located by the Short Hills Station. Highly recommend coming here before 2 and checking out their lunch boxes - generous portions, not too expensive, and of course delicious.Also love their Malai Chicken Kebabs and Samosa Chaat.“
“Ordered via UberEats on a Thursday at around 7. There was a promotion for BOGO free on certain items. So I ordered 2 chicken kadai (each comes with a rice) and 2 egg biryani, and an order of samosas. I've never tried either of the dishes but figured why not? It's BOGO and I can expand my palette on Indian food. I really liked the chicken kadai. The chicken was nice and tender, and the sauce was the perfect amount of spicy. The egg biryani was just okay - basically just seasoned rice with hard boiled egg. I probably wouldn't get this again. Samosas were pretty standard.The portions are big. We had SO much food that we had to eat this across 4 meals. Needless to say, we were pretty tired of eating it by the end. I probably wouldn't do the BOGO option again, but I would like to dine in and try some other dishes fresh.“
“Mausam is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. It is a small intimate place, which may not get a lot of attention, but the food is terrific and better than almost all of the big fancy places in Northern NJ. I'm glad it's a short drive from my office and home. If you haven't tried it and like Indian food, I strongly recommend paying a visit to Mausam Indian Curry N Bites Restaurant.“
“Pariwaar Delights is a haven for those seeking the best Indian restaurant experience. With their expertise in Desi cuisine, they deliver a feast of flavors, textures, and spices that will transport you to the streets of India, all from the comfort of their charming restaurant.“
“We ordered to go here when we were driving through Jersey City. Brother Humad was kind and patient even though we had never ordered there before. He explained everything on their menu to me. We ended up going with the samosa chaat—it was by far the most delicious chaat I have ever eaten in my life. My wife also agreed. We’re both Pakistani so we’re quite familiar with what makes a great chaat, and this was it. It was so good that I’ve been craving it ever since. We also ordered the keema samosa (excellent), the plain paratha and the keema paratha (both excellent), and some seekh kababs that were good but just a little spicy for our taste. For dessert we got some jalebi (not the special one but still great) and the shakkar para, which were done in a way I’ve never seen before, but they were still absolutely delicious. It was almost like I was eating little baloo shahi. Great place, awesome atmosphere and decor (wow, that map on the wall!), friendly service and great food. What’s not to love?“
“I'm not gonna lie. You got the best food at the restaurant and the best employees.They are so helpful and friendly. I also met this girl at the restaurant.Her name is NAYAN. She was very sweet and kind and she helped me choose the best food in the menu Keep up the good work and if you want to have the best experience in the restaurant come especially on Friday's.“
“When you're in Jersey City, make sure to check out Southern Spice in India Square – it's a must! The food there is super tasty, and the name "Southern Spice" fits all their dishes perfectly. You've got to try their special Southern Spicy Chicken Biryani – it's amazing. If you go on the weekend, you're in luck! Get the Bagara Rice with Chicken Curry or go for the half plate Mandi – it's enough for two people. Trust me, it's the best choice for a delicious meal in Jersey City.“
“My visit to Bombay Vada House felt like a quick trip from New Jersey to Mumbai. The restaurant's vibrant ambiance and authentic flavors truly capture the essence of the bustling streets of Mumbai. From the crispy Vada Pav to the creamy Palak Paneer with Tawa Roti and the aromatic Egg Biryani, each dish transported us to India's culinary heart. With friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere, Bombay Vada House offers an unforgettable taste of Mumbai right here in New Jersey.“
“I’ve recently tried this place out twice, and I’m very happy with the food. Aside from great portions, the food is very tasty. For working professionals who are not able to cook on their own, this tiffin service is amazing. $15 gets you the following: 4 Rotis, dal, Sabzi, and rice. Even though they are unable to deliver to my area, I still think that this place is definitely worth it!“
“Great food for a great price! Compared to another Indian food location in Harrison, the portions are big, the paneer is generous, and the flavors are just as great for nearly half the price. We fed a family for 4 and had enough for lunch and leftovers on barely $60! Excellent place, will be back!“
“Loooovvvedd it! The food here is spectacular! It definitely hit the spot ?. The service was great, and they were very attentive. I love that they don't rush their patrons, which some restaurants tend to do. I was able to sit down, savor my food, and catch up with my friend. Didn't even get to take pics of my food to share, I immediately dug right in ?. The food smelt and tasted amazing. 10/10, you should check it out.Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian and vegan options as well.“
“You find great food in unassuming places.Bornali cafe's malai chop sweet is one of the best Bangladeshi mishti I have had in a long time. I am not a fan of overly sweet desserts. Their malai chop has the right combination of sweetness which complements milky syrup it is drenched. Imagine the most delicious chana has a love child with the rasmalai of your dream that is his I would describe the malai chop. I would visit that place again only for that. The other items that we ordered also exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend if you are in Patterson area. The owner was also very nice and accommodating. Very neat and clean restaurant which is rare in many desi establishments“
“This truck is right in the NJIT campus. You can find it by the long lines next to the truck. The lamb (gyro meat) over rice is very good, it tastes like it was homemade and not the generic factory ones. The long grain basmati is a standout and sets itself apart from the other trucks. The white sauce is a bit heavy like it was just Mayo thinned out with water. Also the hot pepper flakes is not spicy at all. Also I don't think they have the usual Halal truck hot sauce since he never puts any in when I order which is a missed opportunity since I love spicy foods.“

“Five before some guy who manages the restaurant was making really bad food. Since 5 months I am eating food from here and I love the biriyani and all Indian food because New management is now running the restaurant and she cooks awesome food. I would highly recommend anybody to try Daniel KTR Biryani and curry. I love it and is waiting for have the goat curry and biriyani especially.“
“The most authentic Pakistani food I’ve had in Jersey City since I came here. Their goat karahi is amazing and the garlic nans are a must when you’re ordering here. However I would advise to take a look inside the packets for confirmation of the correct order if you’ve decided on a takeout.“
“THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS...FRESH...AND THE SPICE LEVEL WAS ON POINT...I PREFER (MEDIUM) SPICY LEVEL..PLACE LOOKS LIKE THEY MOSTLY DO TAKEOUT BUT THE PLACE HAS SUFFICIENT SITTING FOR LARGE CROWDS....I LOVE INDIAN CUISINE...AND DO RECOMMEND THIS “
