We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and entrees and we shared them all. I was absolutely impressed. I totally enjoyed EVERY item. I especially liked the curry fish with coconut milk. The service was exceptional and very friendly, it was an entirely enjoyable experience. I heartily recommend this Indian Restaurant in Ridgewood, NJ.“

“Absolutely amazing. They're a family owned restaurant so I understand its hard with these times and coronavirus. Its hard to find good Indian food and I must say, I've been coming here for more than 20 years and I still will be coming more and more! Out of all the restaurants in parsippany & Rt 46, I specially come down to Wayne to eat this amazing food. my fav is the sag panir, malai kofta, and vegetable biryani. I love the one waitress and how she explained the spice levels according to chiptole and taco bell! the uncle who is the owner always greets everyone like hes known them for years. Like we are family, its heart warming since i dont live with my family. Amazing food, amazing people and amazing prices!“

Pradyumna Cafe in NJ is a fantastic hidden spot that deserves more hype. The food here is incredibly flavorful.

“Healthy 👌 🥘 Experience chefs Good Staffs“

“Garlic naan and makhani.“

“Great tasting biryani and chicken pakodi!“

“My fiancé have been here a few times a while back and decided to visit this weekend for a late dinner and had a great experience. The food was SO good! We had some tomato soup to start then ordered garlic and cheese naan, tika masala, tikka chicken fried rice, and aloo samosa. The flavors were incredible! Our eyes were bigger than our stomach so we ended up having leftovers, which we looked forward to eating and finished this evening.

I wish I could remember our servers names, they were both kind and checked in with us throughout the meal.

Love how late their kitchen is open and they have a great drink menu, as well. Highly recommend for a great date spot or to bring your family. Definitely won’t wait that long again to return!“

“This isn’t a fancy fine-dining spot—it’s a small, no-frills place that mostly runs on deliveries. I first ordered online, and it immediately caught my attention. After trying a few more dishes, I was genuinely impressed every single time.

That curiosity led me to visit in person—and the food absolutely delivers. It’s satisfying, well-cooked, and the spices are just right.

If you’re looking for ambiance or a polished dine-in experience, this isn’t it. But if you’re craving authentic Indian/Pakistani flavors done right, this place is definitely worth trying.“

“The Best Food and Service 👍👍👍👍“

“I’ve ordered a few times from Ujala and the food is delicious. Bone in chicken biryani, chicken tikka, naan, palak goat, etc. all delicious. Great flavor! Portions are a bit smaller than I’d like, considering the pricing, but it’s worth it!“

“This small-footprint gem delivers exactly what so many of us miss back home: quality, chatpata quick bites like spicy-tangy pani puri (with live assembly and multiple flavor options—sweet, savory, and everything in between), the iconic Mumbai vada pav layered with coriander chutney, tamarind, and that punchy dry garlic chutney (ek dam mast!), misal pav, ragda samosa, dabeli, grilled sandwiches, paneer tikka rolls, and more—all pure veg and bursting with genuine flavors.

What really sets it apart is the warm, welcoming vibe—the pleasant service and friendly owner make you feel right at home, unlike some other places around that feel rushed or impersonal. It’s cozy and fun, with that true street-food energy packed into a compact space, perfect for a quick bite or takeout when you’re in Journal Square/India Street area.

If you’re missing the real deal till your next trip to India, skip the average options and head here. Places like Desi Adda keep the quality high, the tastes authentic, and the desi spirit alive—definitely worth appreciating and coming back to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone chasing that homesick cure!“

“Honestly can’t fault this place. The food is amazing—authentic, flavorful, and truly made with care. The service is unbelievable. We went with a group of six and ordered the chicken biryani family-style, asking for one level down from our usual spice tolerance, and it was absolutely phenomenal—perfectly balanced and still full of flavor. Definitely coming back again!“

“First timer since i just moved to Palisades park couple month ago. I got to know the chef and owner by name, the first day i came in. Very nice people, atmosphere and mostly, Food! chicken is seasoned just right, def has southern kick. Love it. Highly recommended.“

“We popped in last night without a booking, before our movie viewing. The staff were so accomodating and friendly! The restaurant is candle lit and cozy, with quiet, ambient music. I often struggle with sound levels in busy restaurants, but I found the lighting and the sound level were really really pleasant. We ordered, and our starter was in front of us really quickly.

The food was delicious. Complex and rich flavours. Chicken tikka BBQ was so juicy and fresh. The lamb pasanda was the star of the show, even the gravy was mouth watering. The daal, in comparison, was a little bland, we might try a different vegetarian curry next time. The naan are HUGE, fluffy and authentic. Definitely share one between two. The challenge of the lassi was not drinking it in one go, it was so yummy.“

“I just took my friend to Downtown Dhaba for her birthday lunch. We both agree the food was wonderful. And we both had leftovers to have later. Service was very attentive, but not overbearing. My first time here, but I will be back.“
