Pathetic service, and food is nothing special. Manager started arguing because we forgot to mention toddler in the count of people. The restaurant was half empty anyways so not sure what was the point of arguing this much for a toddler?? Anyways, after a terrible welcome we still thought of dine in as we were tired and didnt want to drive somewhere else.The double booth seats are super uncomfortable, you constantly feel movements from other person sitting behind you.Restaurant closes at 9:30 and 8:45 itself they tell us that Kitchen is going to close so it’s a last order. We ordered a Rabdi Falooda for dessert and they gave us Rabdi mixed with falooda sev, another blunder. We dont like to waste food, but it was so bad that we had to leave it as it is after tasting one spoon. After complaining, their response was that this is how it is made.. No regrets for serving something so distasteful. Overall forgettable experience, would not visit again.

Tried some of food like missi roti and dal makhani was awsome. Did not like the rasogulla as they were hard. Also roolmali roti had oil and over cooked.

To Kesar owner, I am disappointed by the stale food I purchased despite being assured of its freshness. Quality and transparency are essential in a food establishment. Consistency in product freshness is crucial for customer satisfaction. I hope you take this feedback seriously to improve your offerings and regain customer trust.here is the image of one of the startle sweet . It’s the same day picture I took . I ask specifically about the most fresh sweet, I was given this ?

Hype Hype HypeJust a hype nothing else, the taste of food is just below averageOrdered 99 usd maharaja thali . Out of 12 sabji , 3 had same kadi base , 3 same punjabi base and 3 same taste bhaji base.Just an average food. Eating the sabji's it felt like having same flavor in all nothing different.Stay away from ordering any thali just good for Indo Chinese or chat.

We ordered 4 different thalis ( kathiawdi thali , punjabi thali , amritsari kucha thali , chilli cheese paratha ) and enjoyed the awesome food . The service was superb too along with their ambiance. Each and every item in the thalis were cooked perfectly. The quantity and quality both are very good .
First of all I’m non vegetarian I like to eat non veg a lot. After visited the biggest Hindu temple swami Narayan on new Jersey my family and friends told me lets try vegetarian foods coz we all have fasting. I have never been to a pure vegetarian restaurant we search for a vegetarian option we got kesar restaurant. We arrived there with in 7 to 8 minutes. Nice atmosphere, service of the team were really appreciated. I’m shocked the test of soya chap and paneer tikka masala were awesome taste and it win the taste of….. tikka masala. Overall what we ordered our food well all enjoyed it and love it. Thalis are great looks with delicious variety. I just want to share my experience and tell to everyone don’t miss this place try once…

Poorly made kheer, lacked both quality and taste. I ordered a large tray of kheer for an event, however it got all wasted as guests had the same feedback, low quality and poor taste. People didn’t have the kheer and I had to throw it all off later, such a tasteless kheer.
Absolutely horrible. The food was not good at all. We ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Roomali Roti and Paneer Lolipop. I heard a lot good reviews about the restaurant and we were visiting BAPS temple so I thought let’s try what’s the hype is about. The roomali roti was absolute bad, it was not even soft. The paneer main course was ok, just a basic gravy. I would try random 4 star restaurants around any area in New Jersey but this. They set the bar so high and not worth the hype at all. Will never visit again. Hope they improve the food quality.

Despite its low Google reviews, we decided to give this restaurant a chance, and we were pleasantly surprised. We opted for the Maharaja thali, and it exceeded our expectations. The variety offered in the thali showcased their understanding that customers have diverse tastes. In conclusion, don't let the negative reviews deter you from trying this place; it's definitely worth a visit, at least once.

The food is good and the quantity is huge, I liked the chaat thali. Tried the maharaja thali, the price is high compared to the quantity, I would recommend the individual thali .
