Wanted to taste a new Punjabi restaurant in Central New Jersey and found this place through Google maps. Read their reviews and wanted to surely taste their food.. parking was a bit tight but fine . Location voice it is slightly off the main areas in Central Jersey.
Service could improve.. They forgot some order… they got garlic naan after almost 30 minutes.. .. Punjabi kulcha was the best . Super super good . Punjabi thali was also good . Garlic...

Came here for the first time and left genuinely impressed. The chole bhature was rich and perfectly spiced. Portions are massive, price is super reasonable, and the energy in there just feels warm and real. If you’re anywhere near Carteret and craving real Punjabi food, I’d highly recommend it
