This restaurant was one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Not only was the owner of this place polite and welcoming but also very friendly and knowledgeable. We ordered appetizers like Savory crunch chicken, chicken tandoori Tikka boneless and Onion Bhabi and it was exceptional! Then for our entree’ we ordered Palak Paneer, Sonny’s special Butter chicken, Lamb tikka masala and Sindhi Chicken Biryani with Garlic naan, spicy garlic naan and it was just the right amount of spice. I LOVE that they don’t ask you for your spice level l, they’re just good at giving you a perfect Homemade spice level which was perfect for our family of 5 Ended it all with garam chai and warm Gulab Jamun! Wah! This place is so beautifully decorated too. We would highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone. The love and warmth we felt here in the food, service and ambience was incredible.

The owner Sonny was very kind, even brought our dog plain grilled chicken as a treat while we were sitting out outside, enjoying our delicious dinner. Worth a stop, even if it’s a bit outside your route.

Superb service and very zesty food. Traditional Indian cuisine. A bit spicy for me, but that’s strictly personal. Owner and manager are both the same person and run a tight ship. Try it.

Each time I’ve been to Sonny’s, it’s such a great experience! The food is packed with flavor, and the hospitality is unmatched. The owner Sonny makes everyone feel welcome, and there’s just a really great energy here. It’s one of our favorite neighborhood spots and the first place we bring visitors!

I had an amazing dining experience at Sonny's Indian Kitchen (Halal) at 225 Main St, Chatham, NJ! The lamb roganjosh was a standout—tender lamb cooked in a rich, flavorful sauce with perfectly balanced spices and just the right kick. The basil garlic naan was a delicious complement, with a unique lemony twist. Sonny’s warm, welcoming hospitality made the cozy atmosphere even better, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. Great value for authentic Halal Indian cuisine. Can’t wait to return!
What a fabulous experience! The food is absolutely phenomenal — every dish was bursting with flavor and clearly crafted with care. The staff is warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. You can tell Sonny takes great pride in his restaurant; he’s not just behind the scenes, he’s right there making sure every guest feels at home. He was so present during our visit, happily answering our questions and a true joy to talk with. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both exceptional cuisine and genuine hospitality — this spot does both flawlessly. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

Was craving for some biriyani and found this amazing gem of a place and the most wonderful person Sonny, made sure we felt so homely and welcome right very minute. I am from Kerala and my husband from Punjab so we really know the authentic taste of the dishes we ordered and it was spot on. Felt absolutely at home! We are coming again for sure. Keep up the amazing service and quality of dishes. 😍
