“If you’re from Maharashtra and are tired of substandard pav bhaji and vada pav at every Indian restaurant, then behold - this is the greatest pav bhaji you’ll find in the state.First up - they have the pav that is the closest to what you can get in Maharashtra. Soft and flatter - none of the buffed up nonsense being served up everywhere else.The bhaji itself is excellent and buttery.I’m going to have dreams about this dinner!Highly recommend trying out the gulab jamun as well. It’s made fresh and served hot! Excellent food and thoroughly enjoyed.“

“Fantastic home made food. By far the best authentic food I have had . Absolutely phenomenal. The food was not too oily, had freshness and depth in flavor and was delivered to the table with a smile, this indeed felt like homemade food. Amazing work! I will be back again and again.“

“The service at this restaurant was great! We visited on a weekday night and easily found a parking spot right outside. When we walked in, we were given the option to choose our own table and the staff kindly dimmed the bright lights for a more comfortable atmosphere. Although only two visible workers on duty, they were incredibly kind and patient, despite our longer waiting time for food. Here are some examples of their exceptional service:- Our waiter waited patiently while we took our time to order and even explained the menu to us since we were not familiar with Indian cuisine.- When my dad accidentally spilled water on the floor, a waiter immediately came to clean it up.- The staff checked on us regularly and provided us with clean dishes and utensils after each course/meal.(Also there was a free refill for the rice)Overall, we had a great experience at this restaurant and would definitely recommend it to others.Dietary restrictions: My sister is gluten free, soy free, dairy free (she can eat yogurt though but she can't have cow's milk), can't have beef, can't have lentils, can't really have fruit, can't have msg, and some other stuff due to an immunity gut cleanse diet thing. This restaurant was able to accommodate her dietary restrictions nicely and she was able to enjoy her meals without worry.“

“Nirvana Indian Kitchen exceeded all my expectations! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was out of this world. From the tender tandoori chicken to the rich and creamy paneer tikka masala, every dish was bursting with flavor. Can't wait to visit again!“

“Fluffies offers fresh and delicious high qualitychicken. The service is fast and friendly. I love the crisp of the signature sandwich! The place was super busy on a Friday night but the staff were friendly and fast service. The dining room needs more attention. Highly recommend trying it.“

“I always saw this restaurant walking or driving by and always wanted to go in For apps we got the jalapeno samosa and they were amazing. We also tried the cauliflower bites and this spinach chaat which were amazing. We also got the achari chicken as an app and with the chutneys it was probably the best thing on the menu. For main course we got a butter chicken and a paneer tikka masala and were solid options. Service was good. Everyone was attentive. Kinda small place but loved the decor and the mural on the wall.“

“Tried this restaurant in Wayne. Food was delicious and amazing. Kids loved Veg pakoda, panner tikka in appetizer. Chicken malai tikka was the best I ever ate. You can't skip Dal Makhani and Shahi paneer. Lamb kadai was freshly cooked and perfectly spiced. Loved their mango Lassi, Faluda ice cream. Oh, kids also Hakka Noodles. I didn't know, but they also have a dine-in option now.“

“This is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant ! The food is fantastic and no matter what I order i was delighted with my meal! Servers are also great and efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for wonderful,tasteful Indian cuisine . Trust me !“

“We celebrated a birthday party with a group of 12 people. It was our first time visiting Basil. The service and food is AMAZING! The variety of food (Thai to Indian) as well as Vegan options were perfect. We have few ppl with severe allergies and we had zero issues. We highly recommend it.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Allergies“

“So I was invited to give this restaurant a try. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. Walked in and was greeted and sat. The restaurant was very nice. My friend and I were served by a great group of servers and managers. We had a variety of food, but the shrimp and pepper chicken were the best! I enjoyed all the flavors and variety. This restaurant is byob. I truly enjoyed my time and my meal!“

“One of the best Indian restaurants around! The food is hot and delicious, the service is amazing, they made me feel comfortable, I felt very homely. 100% Bengaluru Vibe. Love it! This is the go-to place if you're looking for great Indian food!“

“This place has the best Indian cuisine in town! Definitely worth it. Jami is so helpful and patient when I’m trying to order takeout. Jami and the other staff are always so kind to answer any questions I have about certain dishes and food items. I hope to try the lunch buffet sometime soon— there’s many delicious meals to choose from. I usually order Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Masala with Basmati Rice and Garlic Tandoori Naan. I also love the Mango Lassi and the Masala Chai. Everything is fresh and the service is exceptional. Bengal Spice will always have a special place in my heart for quality comfort food!Vegetarian options: The menu is labeled clearly.Dietary restrictions: This restaurant has made necessary changes if needed to my order to accommodate my dietary needs.Parking: There’s a free parking lot in the plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat here with their families.Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance is wheel-chair accessible.“

“One of the best India lunch I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend it!! Going to soon visit the place. Wow incredible chicken tikka, dal, veggie, naan, rice and rice pudding. I felt nostalgic about the food, reminded me of India Mumbai. (Regret eating the food without taking picture) :)“

“My family and I have been coming here for years. This is the BEST restaurant in the area. The host Sridhar is the best, always on point, and accommodating to my daughter’s needs. The food has always been consistently awesome and will continue to come in the future.“

“This is my first time writing a review because it is worth it. I order the Partha Muthal Paneer butter Masala and Balle Lakka Butter Chicken and it was delicious. It brought me back to goa where i try the chicken for the first time. I will recommend Zanu's Kitchen if you want to eat real indian food. I will definitely order again from here. I have to try other dishes but I am sure I won't be disappointed.“

“In the mood for Indian food we saw that Kamal Palace had really good reviews. All in, it was worth the trip.The food was not great but it was good. The samosas were a tad oily and the curries were not as flavorful as I would have hoped.However, the service was great and the price can’t be beat. Seriously, we ordered two apps, two dinner plates, and two orders of naan and it came to about $50!“

“I can only have Indian food once in a while for stomach issues but I love it! Part of getting older lol. This place is my go to. We drive out of our way as we don't live in the area anymore. The owners are nice, the food is always fresh and amazing, they catered a work event for me as well, just wonderful. I'm a clean freak so it's very clean. I don't really care about ambiance personally, as long as the food is good, but the place is very aesthetically pleasing not just for a date, but to be causal and bring the family as well. If you're in the mood for Indian, I highly recommend! Like I said I don't even live close and drive past 2 other Indian places to come here.“

“No offense intended. Food is excellent; however I'm not pleased with the convenience fee ($1.50) and carryout fee ($1.50)... what is up with that? So let me get this straight, you're going to charge me $1.50 to pack up an order which, by no option, is carryout because you're not a sit down restaurant? This is on top of the 3.5% credit card surcharge, and taxes. Not cool.Let's finish with the pricing of Bombay's menu. You're seriously getting outta hand with the pricing... pretty soon you'll price every dish in the mid $30 range. It's easy to drop $100 on two people for little in the quantity of food. This is why I decreased my patronage with you; but who cares about one person.Thanks“

“Mausam is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. It is a small intimate place, which may not get a lot of attention, but the food is terrific and better than almost all of the big fancy places in Northern NJ. I'm glad it's a short drive from my office and home. If you haven't tried it and like Indian food, I strongly recommend paying a visit to Mausam Indian Curry N Bites Restaurant.“

“We had the most wonderful experience at this gem . The owner was taking the orders, but more than that he gave us the suggestions of the best dishes in the menu, so we did start with aloo papri chaat, veg samosa, lasuni gobi and chilli chicken. The main course chicken mango curry, veggies entree, rosemary naan and peshwari naan. The place is quite comfortable.“

“Ordered via UberEats on a Thursday at around 7. There was a promotion for BOGO free on certain items. So I ordered 2 chicken kadai (each comes with a rice) and 2 egg biryani, and an order of samosas. I've never tried either of the dishes but figured why not? It's BOGO and I can expand my palette on Indian food. I really liked the chicken kadai. The chicken was nice and tender, and the sauce was the perfect amount of spicy. The egg biryani was just okay - basically just seasoned rice with hard boiled egg. I probably wouldn't get this again. Samosas were pretty standard.The portions are big. We had SO much food that we had to eat this across 4 meals. Needless to say, we were pretty tired of eating it by the end. I probably wouldn't do the BOGO option again, but I would like to dine in and try some other dishes fresh.“

“A personable, high quality and wonderful experience from the minute we walked in. Aditya was taking care of our table and he did a phenomenal job in taking care of all the individual requests pertaining to diet restrictions, choices and requirements. The owner took his time to come to our table and speak with us which was a genuine approach and care for their customers.Talking about food, I was shocked at the quality in a good way. While dal Bukhara is their famous dal, dal fry was not far behind either. It was well cooked and flavorful. The palak chaat is definitely a must try as well. A ton of variety to choose from. Highly recommend booking a reservation before going in because the place is packed especially on weekends.“

“You find great food in unassuming places.Bornali cafe's malai chop sweet is one of the best Bangladeshi mishti I have had in a long time. I am not a fan of overly sweet desserts. Their malai chop has the right combination of sweetness which complements milky syrup it is drenched. Imagine the most delicious chana has a love child with the rasmalai of your dream that is his I would describe the malai chop. I would visit that place again only for that. The other items that we ordered also exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend if you are in Patterson area. The owner was also very nice and accommodating. Very neat and clean restaurant which is rare in many desi establishments“

“Pros1. Both chicken lollipop and chicken curry tasted great2. Not expensive at allCons1. Run by two nice folks who were also cooks. This meant that it was hard for them to balance both service and cooking efficiently2. Indoor needs an update, pronto.If you want no frills, cheap but good food (esp delivery) would recommend, but if you want to eat in keep expectations in check. Fine dining this is not“

“Their spicy chicken rap is really good it’s my favorite you should try it and they are very friendly and they make the food right in front of you I really recommend them it’s a very good place to eat and when I say the best I mean the absolute best“

“Went to see what they had for Ramadan menu. Incredible amount of dishes laid out on the table, all freshly made. Tandoori, kebabs, samosas, biryani, fried items, paratha, fried rice, over 40 items to pick from. I git several of them and tried them at home. Loved the goat biryani, it's actually real goat, not the lamb kind that other places sell as goat. Chicken tandoori, chicken kebab, samosa, potatoes chop, an d especially haleem, loved all those items. Really happened to see this restaurant is raising its ga me and also keeping up with the taste and quality.“

“Hands down, the best Pakistani restaurant in the area. Incredible food and excellent service. Very welcoming and hospitable owner. Always a great experience, I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. Definitely try the Butter Chicken and Nihari Beef (weekends only), both amazing.“

“We just had take-out from Downtown Dhaba, this is not our first visit, but we had not been in a while, most of our choices were good, Garlic naan, papadum, chicken vindaloo, tamarind chicken and aloo gobi , we did not enjoy the spicy mango pickle, very salty, inedible, whatever solid pieces in there were very hard and impossible to chew as if it was all peel, I will not order this again.I also find it's on the pricey side.“

“Delivery Order - Goat Curry, Madras Parotta, and Vegetable Cutlets were really good but the Chicken Biryani was just average. Biryani was more like rice mixed with chicken gravy. I would probably order Curries from here, definitely not the Biryani.“

“There are many Indian restaurants to try, but Chatni gives you a delicious menu to sample that is not lacking in flavor and provides an ample amount to share. And instead of ordering naan with your meal, try the poori! The service was satisfactory. I didn't feel rushed, but well attended. The mango lassi was very thick and may prove to be too filling with your meal, but definitely worth a try. The chicken tikka masala and vegetable samosas were so good. The ambiance is very cozy, but I noticed there were many pick up orders. The only downside I could see is that sadly they do not deliver. Chatni is a must try for sure!“
