Zeel & Pratik recommended mango plaza for dessert, it was delicious! Will be coming back for more delicious food ??“

“Cute and quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious! Chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala. Also some spicy chili garlic Naan, butter Naan and roti. Flavorful and good portion sizes. They could stand to give a little more rice with the entree, but that doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the dishes. Can't wait to return to try other menu options.“

Owners Neeraj and Swapna add a personal touch with their warm, down-to-earth hospitality. The ambiance and service are nothing short of five-star. A must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience“

“BEST INDIAN FOOD ON THE ISLAND, Incredible late night dinner at Hylan Curry & Grill with my hunny 💖“

“Menu Taste Service Ambiance Nice Gesture Love ❤️“

“Last month I asked for recommendations for an Indian restaurant that had great vegan dishes. Clove Garden Garwood was highly recommended. I order 4 vegan dishes from their website tonight. I noted I was vegan online. I had also ordered Naan, (which I didn’t know contained dairy.) The owner took the time to call me and let me know it’s not vegan and made us Roti instead. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! Rich, delicious, authentic … best meal I’ve ever had. And the employees were incredibly nice. Looking forward to trying the other vegan dishes next week!! They have a huge selection. If you haven’t tried it yet, I would 100% try their food!!!“

“I have been going to Moghul for over 15 years and they never disappoint. The service is wonderful and the food is full of flavor. Always a great experience with staff and fresh“

“Pleasantly came across this pure veg bistro through the insta feed with raving reviews. We tried Spicy Chipotle burger, Aloo burger for kids, Pesto Panini and Pesto Pizza. Lets just say, each morsel was a burst of flavor. For the dessert, we tried warm walnut brownie. We also met the owner who was very sweet and spent some time with us and also made sure that everything we ordered was perfect!!!
Cherry on the top was Swaminarayan menu with many many options. For the Momo's lovers, do visit them by the end of dec, they plan to introduce them in their menus.
Must visit place.“

“Chowpatty recently catered my wedding and their food and service was phenomenal! Not only did they create mouthwatering dishes, but they took into consideration of the type of food we were looking to serve our guests. They provided constructive feedback and went above and beyond to give us tasteful ideas that we hadn’t even thought of. The team expressed enthusiasm to give us the best experience we could ask for during one of the most important weekends of our lives. Chowpatty never treated our wedding as a job, but an event they were proud to serve. They continue to strive for the best and push beyond their limits to give everyone a truly, unforgettable experience. Thank you Chowpatty for giving our families and friends a weekend they are still reminiscing about! Purvi & Shiven“

“I’ve never really eaten my share of Indian food but today I just felt it was the right time to give it try and I found this place. Upon walking in it seemed like the place was closed as it was empty but it wasn’t, a nice man seated us and took our orders. The menu was extensive and had plenty of good options and honestly it was a bit hard to pick something as it all sounded great. We at first thought the prices were a bit expensive but once the food came out it was worth it. The potion sizes were a lot more the what we expected and the food overall was amazing, it was full of incredible flavor and filled us up nicely. All the while the server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. At the end I was surprised as to why the place was so empty, it deserves more attention as Im most definitely coming back for their amazing Indian food.“

“PROs - hidden gem , homely food , serviceCONs- location , limited menu itemsI rarely give a 5 star . We were near Marlboro area and were craving for some vegetarian food . Saw Google and decided to visit this restaurant . At first , we kinda were joking around looking at the restaurant as there were no customers . Location was a bit wierd. .. we went in and asked if there was food and the Indian lady came and was kind of shocked to see 12 of us coming in . She said she will start cooking then and will take time .We almost wanted to leave the place because we weren’t confident of how fast they will prepare.. to all our surprise , she was able to cook food quickly and the food was deliciousssssssssss.. its almost like our mom cooking at home . We had unlimited thali.she brought us dolls , samosa , kichadi , rotis , undhiyiu, potato bhaji, gulab jamun, chaas etc. all my friends were happy and had a fantastic meal . She said to call her next time before coming , so she can prepare all food :) even though it was a slow start , we were so happy with the food .It’s truly a hidden gem . Both owners were sweet and the service was exceptional.“

“"Persis Biryani Indian Grill at Edison Oak Tree Road offers an exceptional dining experience, and their array of dishes never disappoints. Starting with the Gobi Manchurian, the flavors burst with the perfect balance of spice and crispiness. The Chicken Pepper Fry is a delight, tender and packed with flavor, while the Chicken 65 is wonderfully spicy and crispy. The Bagara Baingan is a must-try for vegetarians, with its rich and aromatic gravy complementing the tender eggplants perfectly.

Moving on to the dals, both the Chana Dal and Dal Tadka are cooked to perfection, offering a comforting and flavorful addition to any meal. The Chicken Mogulai is a creamy indulgence, with tender chicken pieces cooked in a rich and fragrant sauce. For those craving something with a kick, the Chettinadu Chicken is the way to go – spicy and full of bold flavors that tantalize the taste buds.

No trip to Persis Biryani is complete without trying their Chicken Tikka Masala, a classic favorite that never fails to impress. And finally, their Persis Special Chicken Biryani and Egg Biryani are simply divine, with fragrant basmati rice cooked to perfection and tender, flavorful meat that melts in your mouth.

Overall, Persis Biryani Indian Grill offers an unforgettable culinary journey through the vibrant and diverse flavors of Indian cuisine. The friendly staff and cozy ambiance make it the perfect spot for a delicious meal with friends and family."“

“We recently visited "Ruby ke Kitchen se" and were thoroughly impressed. It's located away from the more popular Oaktree Road in Edison, giving it an unique charm that makes the experience even more special.

The food was exceptional. The kofta curry stood out with its perfectly balanced flavors, the aloo methi was fresh and authentic, and the karhi pakoda had a depth of taste that felt both familiar and comforting.

The kachodi, though, deserve a special mention. Made entirely from scratch in-house, they were crisp, flaky, and filled with a perfectly spiced mixture. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into their preparation, and the result speaks for itself.

If you’re looking for authentic Indian food in a peaceful setting, "Ruby ke Kichen se" is a place worth visiting. It’s not often you find such quality tucked away like this.“

“The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious! Enjoyed our family lunch at Amma's Kitchen this weekend!“

“food taste and quality as well as courtesy.“

“Went there for lunch, they only serve Gujarati Thali. Choice of any 3 of the 4 curries of the day, Gujarati daal, along with 4 chapatis, bowl of rice and papad.The curries were pretty decent except for the one we were really looking forward to - Undhiyo. This could have been better.The chapatis were phenomenal! Thin and perfectly cooked.However, very attentive folks, came over and inquired a couple of times.The place has lost its shine since my last visit but I attribute that to the pandemic. The ambiance is not very inviting but go there for the food anyways.“

“Your store is a goldmine! I’m getting back into cooking Indian food and you have everything I need and more. The staff are friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my next trip!“

“We just had our holiday event for IAGS, non-profit organization and I should say that Royal Albert Palace’s new management did an amazing job with everything, including food, service, decorations and coordination. Our event coordinator, Shane Kang handled it so well from the beginning to end.
He certainly gets 5+ star“
