Their Puran Poli is exceptional, boasting a homemade taste with a generous filling and a thin, non-greasy cover. Not only is it authentically Sahuji, but it's also a haven for delicious food. 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.

“I’m a busy working mom and order from Wonder meals for my family 2-3 times a week at least. I like the variety of choices they offer. We particularly like their salads, Mexican food, a chicken sandwich and poke bowls. Most of the meals are very tasty, fresh and good value for the money. We also take advantage of the ability to order from other restaurants through the wonder platform. I particularly like their customer service because it is super responsive and accommodating if there are any mistakes in the order. I’m really happy that we have a wonder restaurant in our community.“

“The food is really good. They have added multiple items to the menu. Live pani puri is the best i have tried and lasooni gobi is a must try. Other kathiawadi items are just as good as they were at their previous location. Looking forward to trying more items off their menu in the next visit“

The food tasted amazing, and the service was top-notch with prompt refills throughout the meal. I especially appreciated how kid-friendly they are; they didn't force a full thali on our child, which prevented unnecessary food waste. A fantastic experience overall!“

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

“If you’re looking for aunthetic Thai and Indian food… I highly recommend this place. I recently dined at Basil Indian & Thai Cuisine they are located in 3972 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island, New York. The reservation was easy to make, the staff were extremely helpful in accommodating and friendly. The ambiance was great, the food is fantastic and lived up to my expectations. Two thumbs up and 3 stars! 👍🏼👍🏼 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️“

“We had tasted the food in a friend's party and we had enjoyed it. We did a take out and we bought only vegetarian food. There's a large selection for meat as well.
I loved the vegetarian biriyani. The paneer starters were good too.
We'll definitely go back for party orders.
For dine in, it's a simple small place with a few tables. A bit cramped and noise level can be high if half the place is filled along with a loud Punjabi music.“

“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“

“By yesterday, I can proudly say I have tasted food in all the restaurants on the food court. Astonishingly, I wasn't disappointed by even one. All cuisines were great and there are a lot (in Indian cuisine there are a variety of cuisines) you can try. The place itself looks a bit old and the tables can use a bit of work. I have eaten here since a few years and I assure you there is no change in the quality or the taste, I love how consistent they are. I've seen empires raise and fall but this place still keeps its place when it comes to food and service. Keep crushing it folks.“

“I had a great time stopping by & shopping at this location! They have a plethora of items to choose from along depending on what your palette desires!! The ambiance/atmosphere was warming & welcoming… surely I’ll be returning with friends & family!“

“Came here last minute to get food, I do not regret my decision on coming here. The food was very delicious and yummy. Love this restaurant.“

“Great place for good food“

“We just ordered takeout from here for the first time and the food was amazing! We tried the Chana saag and the Kadai paneer, and the flavors were exactly what we were craving! Perfect level of spice as well.

Please excuse the photos — we had already transferred the curries to glass bowls and devoured half of it before realizing we should stop to write a review and take pictures. Can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“From the very first bite, I could tell that these sweets were made with love, care, and top-quality ingredients. The freshness, aroma, and texture were absolutely perfect — every piece melted in my mouth and left a lingering taste of happiness. Whether it was the rich chocolate flavor or the traditional sweets, everything tasted authentic and well-balanced — not too sugary, just right.

The presentation was equally impressive! The packaging was clean, elegant, and handled with care, which made it feel extra special. It’s clear that attention to detail and customer satisfaction are top priorities here. I also appreciated the prompt service and friendly attitude — the team truly values their customers and makes the entire experience smooth and pleasant.

These sweets are perfect for any celebration, family gathering, or simply to treat yourself after a long day. I’ve already recommended them to my friends and family, and everyone loved them too. It’s rare to find sweets that bring such joy and comfort in every bite.

If you’re looking for something truly delightful, high-quality, and made with passion, these sweets are a must-try! I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. 😊🍬💖“

“I got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. The gentleman that was at the counter when I walked in was very pleasant and accommodating. The chicken was good, I would say 7.5/10, and the garlic naan was out of this world, 10/10. I will be returning“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "An Exceptional Venue for Community Events!" We had the pleasure of hosting several matchmaking meet-up events at Dhaba Edison, and it has consistently exceeded our expectations. The restaurant's ambiance creates a welcoming and relaxed environment, making it ideal for fostering connections and building meaningful relationships among attendees. A special mention goes to Raj, the owner, whose professionalism and warm hospitality have made our experience truly remarkable. From the very beginning, when we organized our first event at Dhaba Edison, Raj went out of his way to assist us. Despite a lower-than-expected turnout, he not only accommodated us but also refunded our deposit—a gesture that truly speaks to his commitment to his customers. Additionally, every time we’ve held a matchmaking meetup at Dhaba Edison, Raj has always been there to help with the buffet arrangements, even when we didn’t have a confirmed number of attendees. His support and flexibility have made organizing these events much easier. One of the standout features of Dhaba Edison is its delicious and diverse buffet, which offers a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes. The food is always flavorful, well-prepared, and of excellent quality. Whether you're craving authentic desi flavors or looking for a satisfying meal, Dhaba Edison never disappoints. The buffet is also reasonably priced, making it an affordable yet high-quality dining option for both small and large gatherings. Beyond our own events, Raj has built a reputation as one of the most supportive restaurant owners for small businesses in Central New Jersey. Among all desi restaurants in the area, I would personally rank Dhaba Edison as the best—not just for its exceptional food and service but also because of Raj’s generosity and dedication to helping others. We highly recommend Dhaba Edison for anyone looking to host community events, social gatherings, or simply enjoy an outstanding meal at great value. Ismat Shehzad Ismat Shaadi Services“

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

“Menu Taste Service Ambiance Nice Gesture Love ❤️“

“Has been our goto Dosa place since moving to NJ in 93. Simplistic. No frills. Order. Sit down. Wait for your number. Get up. Grab food and enter bliss. The most tasty and delicious dosa in the north east. Sambar is near perfection. Perfect pricing and portions. We have numerous places near us and I’d still choose here for the price,taste and portion size.

Parking: While there is convenience of parking lot. Once it fills. Super hard to park. Only a dozen spots.“

“Amazing Food & Flavors!

Chandni Chowk in Iselin is a must-visit! Their non-veg sizzlers are flavorful, the chicken Nihari is perfectly spiced, and the fresh naan is unbelievably soft. The kebabs are tender and juicy. A fantastic spot for anyone craving top-notch food!“
