“Favorite spot for authentic South Indian food, the service is fantastic just like the food here. My favorite is bisibhelebhat, ghee rava roast dosa and the kesari, itnever disappoints. This time I ordered the thali and some veggies gave a homely feel. The thali comes with 3 veggies, 1 sambhar, 1 rasam, dessert of the day was kesari. We also had Onion Chilli Uttappam which was tasty too. I always like the 3 chutneys thats their signature.“
“I know my way around Edison, and this is some of the best chaat and Kati rolls I’ve had. Really hit the spot. The presentation is gorgeous as well; the restaurant goes for a cute kitsch factor that is really charming. Kalyan made some excellent recommendations so we ended up ordering way too much food, but will have leftovers for lunch the next few days ;)“
“Food was absolutley outstanding. We love Indian food and I have travelled there twice. This was maybe some of the finest Indian food I’ve had outside of India. We each have different tastes, and the debate was spicy or not. They prepared the dishes in half portions — half spicy/half mild. This was perfect. Food was so fresh and great sized portions. Will be back.Vegetarian options: On the menu.Dietary restrictions: He asked.Parking: Maplewood tends to be busy.“
“This is my new favorite Indian place in the area. The vibe is trendy and relaxed and the food is amazingly good.The eggplant bruschetta is beyond belief, masala tostones are great and the curried lentils are so so tasty.It is on the pricier side but well worth it.“
“My recent visit to Kabab Time left me utterly impressed! The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the warm greeting by the staff to the exquisite presentation of each dish. The decor exuded elegance, creating an atmosphere that was both cozy and upscale, perfect for any occasion.“
“We had a great time eating. Food was delicious. Every dish is a delight. Ambience is welcoming. The hostess Priya was friendly and accomplished in many ways. Spoke many languages as an added bonus. I will go there again. The other gentleman was knowledgeable and accommodating. It was a truly great pleasure being served at Vasanth Bhavan.Vegetarian options: Curry rices were nice“

“Went for lunch to try this place as they do specialize in marathi food.Sevice was fast and really good and fast. We did have a chance to talk to the owners as well and they are very friendly people.

“Went here with a group of 5 for the first time as we were craving Gujarati/kathiyawadi food and it did not disappoint. The service is excellent and the food tastes amazing.They offer three types of unlimited thalis - Gujarati, kathiyawadi and Punjabi. Have the Gujrati of you are craving your dishes to be a little on the sweet side like me and the kathiyawadi if not. I would not suggest the Punjabi thali as this is a Gujrati place and that is their forte.Vegetarian options: This is a fully vegetarian restaurant.Parking: This is in a strip mall with a free parking lotKid-friendliness: Indian restaurants are always kid friendly.“
“The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was exquisite. The chicken Jalfrezi and dhaba kadai curry tasted delicious. The highlight was the tindora 65 appetizer. The waiters pavani & jagan gave the best customer service and ensured we had a great experience. Deccan spice is a phenomenal restaurant“
“This place is AMAZING!! we were 11 people and they accommodated us no problem even though the place can probably fit 16-18 people max.The food is far and beyond. After living in India, it was hard to find a place until we came here. If I could, I would give it a thousand starts. We are definitely coming back.The service is great. She is very nice and helpful with recommendations. All said with a very sweet smile and the most welcoming feeling.Vegetarian options: There’s plenty of really good vegetarian choices. The chap is a must if you never had it.“
“Fantastic place to get some authentic Maharastra cuisine, especially the Kolhapuri Chicken Curry (extremely spicy, unlike the generic Kolhapuri available at Indian restaurants). The staff was extremely helpful as well. I think there is some scope for improvement, reason why I wanted to restrict this otherwise 5 star experience to 4 stars. First, pricing doesn't exactly match the premiumness of the restaurant i.e. dishes are matginally overpriced. We also ordered the Solkadi individually and through the thali, the consistency was very different in both, and the standalone drink (which was $6) seemed much more watery than the one provided in the thali.“
“We love Indian food & ordered from Clove Garden to give a new local business a try. Not only was the order perfect, but the food was excellent. They even added a desert for us to try, which was also really good. Happy to have you in Garwood!“
“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!!“
“Its a hidden gem on busy oak tree road, the ambience of this place tells it all, this is the most exotic party place in New Jersey, we did my daughter's sweet sixteen here, the food, service, cleanliness, staff, ambience, everything was beyond expectations, I would recommend 100%, Raj is the best.“
“Value for money, tastes great too. We didn't know it was takeout only so we went to a nearby park (luckily it was a good weather day). The bihari kebab and garlic naan really hit the spot.Parking: Only for takeout so few spots available.“
“I ate Royyala vepudu and Mutton Ghee Roast biryani in the weekends and believe me guys, you never fell regret for what you spent in terms of money and time. The taste is really amazing and I loved it ❤️. Highly recommend to all. Especially for Indian who loves the flavors of authentic dishes ?“
“Tried out this place recently and the food there was delicious.aloo paratha here is just amazing super flavorful amristsari kulcha We also ordered their item daal makhni and mix vegetables it was the best decision because every bite felt scrumptious.Definitely worth visiting!“
“had a delicious dinner with family at Spice Bazaar on a Saturday night! we ordered the spinach chaat, tapioca/sabu-dana tikki, chicken tikka bao buns, and the chicken 65 for appetizers, and all of them were delicious and perfect to whet your appetite!we ate so many appetizers and were already full, but we also ended up ordering a lot for entrees: the chicken tikka masala, tangri kabab, crispy fried okra, dal makhani, wild mushroom ghee roast, and the malai methi matar, along with the biggest garlic naan and the laccha paratha. everything was very well cooked, spiced to perfection and absolutely sumptuous! portions are wonderful and the service was also incredibly attentive and thoughtful. i look forward to coming back here many times in the future!“

“Begum Palace is a hidden gem that never fails to impress. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the service is top-notch. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend the chicken biryani and the palak paneer. You won't be disappointed!“
“I’d give 10 starts if I could. This is the best hole in the wall type of restaurant. Quick service, affordable price, and THE BEST food in Edison! I moved out of NJ, but every time I’m in NJ, I eat here over any other fancy restaurants. Highly recommend this place!“
“They have the most awesome, succulent, juicy chicken Bihari kebabs and rolls. Combined with the mango lassi just makes your day. They even have a robot waiter to serve and bring you food. The kids will just love it. The wait staff and the owner check with you and your order. The take your feedback and follow up. They have a big spacious space and ample parking.“
“Had a chance to go for iftar buffet , food wise this is one of the best buffet I had in Edison. Only flaw was the way they set it up. You have to share table with Unkown people. Unfortunately we had a couple who were fighting on our table and me and my wife were in an awkward spot. Apart from that it was good experience.“
“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.“
“One of the best Indian restaurants in New Jersey. The food was authentically prepared and delicious. Staff was attentive and courteous. The dinning room was packed with Indian clients. As the saying goes, if the ethnic restaurant is filled with clients from that ethnicity, it has to be good.Vegetarian options: We are not vegetarians but our friends who accompanied us are and they love the place so much they had the catering division cater their daughter's wedding.“
“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!“
“Delicious twist on fusion food, with standout dishes like the tangy Manchurian. The atmosphere is casual yet inviting, perfect for a laid-back meal. Quick service and generous portions make it a hit. Definitely worth a visit for a taste of something uniquely flavorful!“
“If you love Indian street food, this is the place to be. It has various sub- shops serving dosas, manchurian, gol gappas, jalebis, paranthas, moms and meetha paan at a resonable price. I am happy that I do not live there, otherwise I would be visiting it on a daily basis.“
“Quality of Dosas and Idlis is good. However, masala was not properly cooked in Dosa and Sambhar had less salt than usual.Filter coffee and chai are good as well but can be better for sure.The dish that we liked best is Bhajji, definitely a must try for anyone new to this place.Also, the place is big enough to accommodate large groups of 6, 8, or even 10 people at once“
“Really great restaurant with an awesome variety of 100% Vegetarian Thalis. I highly recommend their Kesar Special Thali along with their Papdi Chaat Thali! They let you share plates and honestly 1 thali with saabzis would suffice 2 people, you may just have to order another separate Naan. Their special saabzi of the day was amazing, the rest of the saabzis varied from 'generic to alright'. Surprisingly, their ambiance is very upscale for a restaurant that is known for their Thalis. Highly recommend bringing the whole family and the service was super quick!“
“? Celebrating the 26th Aftar at Tabaq Restaurant, NJ ?After a long break, I revisited Tabaq for Aftar and was pleasantly surprised! It was an exceptional experience, nearly the best Aftar I've had. The reservation process was seamless, even for a Friday evening.I usually skip naan and gravies on buffets, preferring protein-rich options like BBQ. However, Tabaq's Chicken Karahi and Mutton Qorma stole the show, making them buffet must-haves. The service was impeccable.Apologies for the low-quality photos – they were taken post-Aftar in a rush.? Price: ~$28 per person (Note: Total came to about $33 per head with tip and service charges included)? Ambiance: 7/10? Service: 8/10? Drinks: A variety beyond the usual Pepsi/Coke, included? Lemonade/Rooh Afza: 8/10? Chicken Karahi: 10/10? Mutton Qorma: 8/10? Dessert (Kheer & Gulab Jaman): 8/10? BBQ: 8/10? Chicken Broccoli & Fried Rice: 6/10? Chicken Biryani (Pakistani Style): 7/10Overall Value: 7/10? Recommended? Absolutely!A delightful Aftar experience that goes beyond expectations. Will definitely be back!“
“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.“
“No frills indo-chinese food with great customer service and a friendly host. Food catered to your tastes and cravings. Not a fine dining restaurant but the food definitely reminds you of popular staples from India. A little expensive, but worth a visit.Definitely try the chilli paneer, made with fresh homemade paneer every day. Hakka style noodles with a side of Manchurian gravy is also great.“
“Swagath Restaurant has closed in Edison and now Kesar Restaurant has opened in the same location at 1700 oak tree road. Kesar is a 5 star restaurant with fantastic Punjabi thali. We had a fantastic lunch at Kesar and it has been open only 3 months.“
“Awesome place! Food was excellent and fresh hot Sambhar is too good. Must try! Sambhar dipped in Idli and Sambhar dipped in Vada!! Mysore Masala Dosa was worth it! So many options to choose from. Staff was friendly and courteous. Highly recommended!!“
“To be honest, I’ve ordered here time and time again. It’s CONSTANTLY delicious like omg (I’ve had the butter chicken, naan, rasmalai, samosa)? (boutta order the palak paneer and chicken kabaab) for the price of everything the quality is just perfection tbh (especially the chicken)“
“This Sri Lankan restaurant in Staten Island is truly one of the gems! The food is not just delicious, but also has that healthy twist we all appreciate. What makes the experience even more special is the amazing owner and staff. They're just incredible people who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. It's a place where the food warms your stomach, and the people warm your heart.“

“We planned to visit Haveli Punjab Di for buffet on Sunday however, the variety of food was so less. Especially for vegetarians there was barely anything and ended up having A la Carte. Majority of dishes in veg and non veg were really good.I would recommend it for A la Carte.Vegetarian options: Try Bharta it was great!“
“Love the ambience and the staff!Food is super tasty, my favorites must try recommendations has to be:Bhel puri, Dal makhani, malai kofta, pav bhaji, raj kachori and vada pav. A combo, filling, money saver and the best in area option would be Punjabi thali- which m is amazing.This is my to-go place any day. Service is great at the restaurant especially Jeetu bhai, he is always lively and Jolly.“

Plus you get introduced to Sunil, owner, who's just welcoming and make you feel at home. They do events, weddings, B days and everything else. Come to kings today!“
“We have been going to Red Pepper with our friends since it was opened.the food is excellent. The chicken dishes, Paneer dishes and Kulcha's are worth trying. The deserts are awesome.I would recommend it to everyone.Vegetarian options: Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, Matar paneer, and panner tikka masala, and onion and potatoe kulcha's are best.“
“I love it here. Been there a few times and every time it's delicious. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because last time I was there there were paper plates. I'm not sure why they didn't have regular dishes but it did change the experience. The food was still very good but the presentation not so much.“
