50 Best Indian Restaurants near East Brunswick

“Awesome place, food was so good, would definitely go again and recommend“

“I ordered the Chicken Chettinadu, veg momo, and veg lunch combo — all were absolutely delicious! The Chicken Chettinadu had the perfect balance of spice and savory, and the veg momo were fresh, flavorful, and filled with a nice variety of vegetables. The veg lunch combo was satisfying and well-portioned, and the kheer dessert was fresh and mildly sweet — a perfect way to end the meal. Everything was packaged neatly and arrived warm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful, well-prepared Indian cuisine. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“I ate here a few years ago - don't recall my whole meal but i remember it was good - love mint chuntey. The manager / staff was friendly. The space is small but organized and clean. Recently i ordered through uber eats - they had a buy one get one free promo on the chicken tikka. I also got a few orders of garlic naan. The chicken tikka with rice was good - moist chicken, good flavor and not too spicy. However the garlic naan was disappointing - it was a tad bit salty but mostly the bread was flat and dense - it should be a little more fluffy with a nice chew. Hope they read this and improve it - would give it another try.“

“I have ordered the chicken tikka empanadas and other types of empanadas from the Bites and Bowls food truck at least twenty times over the past years, and I can genuinely say they are top quality every time. Other empanadas from food trucks in the area are cold in the middle or lack filling. Bites and Bowls is fairly priced, their empanadas are fresh and hot all the way through, and they are generously sized and filled. The gentleman running the truck is always courteous and serves orders with a smile.

I wish the food truck went to more locations. It is worth standing in line for these empanadas. Simply superb, 10/10.“

“Highly recommend!! Food, service and ambiance was amazing!!! Our servers were the best, shout out to Zeel & Pratik! We had the best butter chicken & chicken 65. Their kathi rolls was so good too. Zeel & Pratik recommended mango plaza for dessert, it was delicious! Will be coming back for more delicious food ??“

“Everything is so perfect. Can not think of any better vegetarian!!“

“Wow! What a find! Just celebrated my birthday! The food, the atmosphere, and the service was stellar! The hostess explained the dishes in a warm caring manner. Will definitely be back. Created a wonderful experience.“

“Very few restaurants truly capture the essence of Indian street food — the bold flavors, the nostalgia and this is definitely one of them. The selection is refreshing and impressively vast, covering all the classics you crave.

I especially loved their Bedmi Poori, crisp, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the sabzi. Everything we tried was good, but the street food items truly stood out. The flavors are authentic, well-balanced just the way they should be.“

“We found this hidden gem while searching for India Pizza near chuckeecheese US1 - NJ. Excellent Mexican pizza!!! Must have everyone. Their large size pizza is filling for 4 people. Can't wait to try there Paneer pizzas. All indian pizza lovers, you must try all the indian pizza varities.“

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

“Nagpuri Sahuji in Iselin, NJ, is a gem, renowned for its masterful saffron-infused Old Fashioned, an exquisite rarity. 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. A must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“Food made my mouth water, very nice, tasty, and savory. Amazing thali plus great price with unlimited refills. Excellent service and had very nice conversation. Hosts and staff were amazing to talk to and very kind with smile on face. Atmosphere was superb with aesthetic decorations and bright lighting. Food and atmosphere made me feel like I was back in my homeland of India. Will definitely come again and tell others.“

“better than last always great place to chilling“

“Stopped by last Friday - just took a chance.
Pleasantly surprised how good the food was.
Had the vegetable tikka pizza - well made crust was perfect.
Also had the saag paneer and naan - both were very good and came with side of rice.

Their menu is bit confusing and hard to follow but glad we tried.

Very reasonably priced - try it out!“

“Good ambiance.tasty food.staff is very friendly. Would definitely recommend.“

“Service was excellent, really enjoyed the food.“

“If you want to eat real good Indian food Bangalore express has all . I love the food.“

“Nice and cozy place with a welcoming, homey vibe. Staff and waitress were super friendly and cheerful. Tables could’ve been a bit cleaner, but overall a good atmosphere. We tried the Peri Peri Vada Pav — vadas were great, but the pav and chutney could be better. Bhel was fresh and tasty. We even ordered Chinese Bhel, which had nice bits of Manchurian and paneer — the Manchurian pieces were a bit stiff, but overall it tasted good. We ordered Chole Kulcha but got Chole Naan instead, which was unexpected. Food overall is better than the competition, and definitely a place worth visiting!“

“Service was really good and the food tasted top-notch. Everything felt very homely and comforting.

Special mention to Teja, extremely polite, attentive, and always checked in to make sure everything was perfect. His service genuinely stood out and made the whole experience better.

Highly recommended!“

“First time tried Pakvaan for catering on occasion.Food was really delicious and very good service.“

“For many of us longing for that traditional wedding feast served on a banana leaf, a visit to The Park Indian Restaurant is a must. The feast is served just like weddings back home with so many veg and non-veg dishes and most importantly with such warm hospitality that one feels like part of the family. It would be an injustice to pick a top dish because each one is a star in its category. Unlimited food at such an affordable price! We will be returning every time this fabulous feast is offered.“

“Authentic and delicious food for Indian food lovers. Great service and very humble staff. Very competitive prices as compared to other Indian restaurants with better service and food. We enjoyed it a lot.“

“Nice size hall, party setup, good tasting food, bar, and respectful staff for hosting 100+ people parties easily .. enjoyed the ambiance of the well managed place.“

“Good and best quality Indian Food“

“I catered from them for a small gathering at home and am very pleased with their service and their food.
Our guests enjoyed the food, it was delicious. They particularly liked Veg pulao, chilli chicken and chicken tikka masala, they delivered food in a large hot box which was mighty helpful as it kept food warm till the time it was served.
Thank you Brahma and team for
delicious food and great service. I recommend their business.“

“The Bharta was amazing. We loved the ambience and everything we ordered. Chintan was great at serving and also accommodated our special requests in food. Would definitely recommend this place.“

“Indo-Chinese food is delicious. Very clean place and nice service. Worth it. Definitely will come next time..“

“Not a huge fan of spicy food because my stomach doesn't handle it too well but I must say that the food is good. I got a butter chicken bowl with rice and veggies and it had a tiny kick to it. It was delicious and I handled the spice just fine. Also like the vibe of the place and the friendly service.“

“Absolutely phenomenal—this Indian restaurant is nothing short of a flavor paradise. From the very first bite, it’s clear that the kitchen is run by people who truly understand spices and balance.

The shrimp tandoori is perfection: succulent, smoky, and beautifully charred, with the shrimp remaining juicy and tender inside. Each piece is infused with deep, aromatic flavors that linger just long enough to make you crave the next bite. The malai chicken is pure comfort luxury—creamy, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth soft, with a subtle smokiness that elevates it far beyond the usual fare. It’s indulgent without being heavy, and easily one of the best versions I’ve ever had.

And then there’s the showstopper: the pepper fry mutton. Bold, fiery, and unapologetically robust, this dish is a masterclass in South Indian spice work. The mutton is cooked to tender perfection, coated in a peppery, aromatic masala that delivers heat, depth, and incredible complexity in every bite.

This is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve food—it creates an experience. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, authentic, and unforgettable. If you love Indian food and appreciate expertly cooked meats with powerful, well-rounded flavors, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“We are lucky to have a Banquet hall like Rasoi in the town. It is perfect to have a small or big party. We recently had our Diwali get-together at Rasoi. The Food and service were top-class. The manager Prasad Kadam ensures all goes well and all guests are happy. The staff members are very warmth and welcoming. Once this place is renovated in the coming months, it will have a brand-new Banquet hall to host the parties. I hope Chefs will introduce and add new food dishes to the catering menu.“

“Very nice preparation and prompt service“

“Love the authentic south Indian telugu tiffin dishes you get here , it is exactly like eating at any good breakfast restaurant in Andhra or Telangana ,the same local flavor ,it is one of the very few restaurants here which retains the local flavors, highly recommended.“

“Definitely recommend This restaurant food is so delicious everything taste fresh.👍“

“We ordered take away from Lahore Chatkhara for the first time last night. I have to eat gluten free so I am always nervous the first time eating anywhere but I was assured they would take great care of me and they did. The food was wonderful. It was so flavorful and delicious! I did not get sick which happens an hour after eating anything with gluten. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone gluten free and of course everyone else!“

“Thanjai Mess in New Jersey is a real gem if you’re into authentic South Indian food. The place keeps things simple — no fancy setup, just delicious, homestyle meals that taste straight out of Tamil Nadu. The food is fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The dosas are crisp and golden, the idlis are soft and fluffy, and the sambar hits that perfect tangy note. It feels like you’re eating in someone’s home kitchen rather than a restaurant.

Portions are generous and prices are really fair for the quality you get. The thali meals are a must-try — great variety, with enough spice and comfort to keep you coming back. Service is friendly and quick, and even when it’s busy, the staff handle everything with a smile. Parking is easy and the vibe stays casual, which makes it great for both quick lunch stops and weekend family meals. Thanjai Mess is easily one of my favorite spots for a true South Indian fix in NJ.“

“Dosa Grill has hands down the best Indian food in the Syracuse area. As soon as you enter, you begin enjoying the rich aromas and friendly atmosphere. All their dishes are perfectly seasoned and carefully prepared. The buffet is extensive, with many of my favorites. We have been return customers there since it opened and I can honestly say it contributes to our quality of life.“

“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“

“Very tasty but very costly.“

“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“

“We love Delhi Garden! Best Indian food we’ve had out of many many different places and great service too. Apparently our 13 month old approves as well! 😜 Highly recommend!“

“Rude owner and worse customer service! When we are with big group there is food quality change. Not giving onion or chutney. Poor service.“

“My husband and I were craving Indian so we decided to try this place. Firstly, picking up it was the nicest customer service. The man was so personal and friendly, it was like walking into a family restaurant. He gave me a tea, some yummy dessert and he didn’t even want to accept money for it.

Secondly, we devoured everything. It was all so delicious and it filled us all up. We got three things but the chicken tikka was amazing.

Overall, I would highly recommend ordering from here. You won’t be disappointed.“

“We ordered Jain food for lunch for 10 people, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We had given a heads up the night before, and the food was prepared right on time. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — not too mild, not too spicy.

We ordered Dal Makhani, Sham Savera, and Kaju Curry, and all three dishes were spot on in taste and quality. Truly impressed with how authentic and tasty the Punjabi flavors were, even in Jain preparations.

Highly recommend this place for delicious Punjabi food — and especially if you’re looking for Jain options done right!“

“Great place for good food“

“We did a cooking class and really enjoyed it - highly recommend!“

“We recently celebrated a family function at this banquet hall with our friends and family, and it was a wonderful experience. The management and staff were extremely cooperative, attentive, and friendly throughout the event. From the planning stage to the day of the celebration, everything was handled with professionalism and care.

The team went out of their way to make sure our guests were comfortable and that the event ran smoothly. Their support really allowed us to relax and enjoy the special occasion. We truly appreciate their hospitality and would highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a memorable event.“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“
