“I love coming to Tandoori Chef for dinner. The restaurant has 4 booth-like tables and has excellent service as well as a nice expansive menu with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. This authentic Indian restaurant has a very friendly staff that is accommodating when asked for recommendations or extra pitas or sauce. \n\nAlso a great take-out restaurant with food ready in 20 minutes or less. Plenty of parking in Maplewood Village.“

“Rudra Indian Bistro on Cedar Lane is authentic as it gets. We have been here so many times and will always keep coming back because the food is high quality, healthy, and very delicious. We always start with the House Salad which is a great way to begin your meal. The Tandoori chicken is so juicy and succulent, and the Lamb Korma is one of our favorites. I highly recommend Rudra Indian Bistro! One of the best restaurants of Teaneck...“

“BEST INDIAN FOOD I EVER HAD. Wish I was closer to Hoboken so I can come here more often.
This place is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The menu is a perfect balance of traditional flavors and modern twists — every dish we tried was bursting with freshness and expertly spiced.

The service was impeccable: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. Drinks were crafted beautifully, complementing the food perfectly.

Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or a special celebration, Empyrean delivers an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine with a contemporary flair!“

“This is one of the best places to have south Indian food and the restaurant is very authentic. The ambiance is very decent but the food is so good. Especially their mann soru was out of the world“

“Attended a private birthday party there, requested mild flavor and ALL the foods are delicious! From the owner and crew are great especially Mavi! She brightened the room. It is highly recommended.“

“The Hot & Sour Veg Soup is a delightful start to the meal. Just the right amount of spice and tang. A bowl full of warmth!“

“They have amazingly tasty food 😉 food 🥘 and specially love their buffet“

“Great food and services ✌️✌️“

“Had an amazing dinner here on a quiet night with a group of four. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and the service couldn’t have been better. Our waitress, Hawk, was attentive, friendly, and really made the experience enjoyable. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!“

“This place was great, if you look at my profile it may see like I only leave good reviews but it’s because I usually only review if the place stood out and this place is one of them. Such a fun a delicious new twist on Indian food. The quality and quantity of the food was great for the price and their homemade mango lassi is delicious. Also got to speak with the owner briefly and he was very friendly. If you are craving Indian but want to try something a little different I would definitely check this place out“

“This place is great!! Told them it was my first time and they told me exactly what to get. The dosa was great, nice and spicy the way I like it. Really cute family operation, clearly passionate about what they do. I’ll be going there again regularly.“

“I’ve gotten take-out from the Bayleaf a few times, and it was always excellent! The food is never bland or not spicy enough. I finally went to dine in tonight with my friend. For being a Tuesday night the service was very good, and there was enough people that it didn’t feel completely empty. I want to try everything on their menu because I know it will all be good!“

“Healthy 👌 🥘 Experience chefs Good Staffs“

“I still dream of the day they'll bring back gunpowder potatoes. I tried their spicy cauliflower in the spring, but it just wasn't the same. Their food can be a little inconsistent, but my go-to has been the salmon bowl which has a nice crispy salmon and great flavor.“

“Best Swaminayaran Vada Pav.“

“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!“

“We ordered dilkhush special chk biryani and karivepaku kodi non veg starters as suggested by the staff. Both were super nice. A little spicy on the side. The interesting thing about the biryani was that it comes with omelette instead of boiled egg“

“Garlic naan and makhani.“

“If the owners or chef of Bricklane is reading this— to your chicken tikka masala, add one heaped teaspoon of coriander powder, dried mango powder, Kashmiri red chilly powder, cumin powder, and garam masala. And salt your curry 10% more than you do. Your curry will not taste hollow, like it lacks a backbone. Stop holding back on the powdered spices and thank me later.“

“Food was so delicious today we ordered catering and we really loved the food of Amiya Thanks to all the chef and staff members!! Keep it up guys!!“

“Very good customer service, and the workers was very attentive and professional and the food was really excellent thanks you so much and definitely I’m going to come back again thanks“

“great menu that doesn't overlap with Prime or any other Indian places in the area. You can spend as much or as little as you want in there, as opposed to being forced to commit to a huge bill for one dish, which is rare and appreciated, and you can go for fried goodness OR a veg sandwich... everything's delicious. Same group and menu from Nandoo's in JSQ that still has lines out the door to this day... extremely welcome addition to Hamilton Park.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a great time at Little India in the mall, thanks to Faisal. He was welcoming, patient while explaining the dishes, and gave really thoughtful recommendations. The service felt genuine and attentive, which made the meal so much better. Definitely ask for Faisal when you visit—he’ll take great care of you!“

“The best chicken Hyderabad biryani I’ve ever had.

It perfectly balances rich spices, tender chicken, and fragrant basmati rice cooked in the traditional dum style.

Great portion, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere make this a must visit for biryani lovers.

Highly recommended!“

“This place is an absolute revelation — an incredible food joint hidden away like a true gem for passionate foodies. Each dish carried a flawless balance of spices, delivering bold, unapologetic flavours that hit every note just right. A culinary experience worth celebrating!”“

“Was visiting Hoboken and looking for a good lunch spot close to Steven's University and came across Karma Kafe. Reviews were good and there were lots of people who took the time to rave so figured give it a shot. As always, reviews don't lie and ended up having a great lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to walk in without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon without an issue and we were lucky. Pretty sure for future visits, would lock in a reservation to be on the safe side. Upon being seated, a serving of Papadum (Thin & crispy lentil flat bread) was served with tasty accompaniments was the perfect start as we scoured the menu. We started with The Veggie Sampler which was compromised of a Veggie samosa ( Stuffed crispy triangle pastry stufffed with potatoes and peas), Veggie Pakoras (Crisp veggies lightly battered in a chick pea flour and seasoning mix) and a Veggie Tikkis (Lightly breaded veggie cutlets seasoned with herbs and spices, served with mango chutney.) The serving size was decent and realized if we ate everything on the plate than we would be full and would have no room for the main course. The appatizers were delicious and a great way to prepare for lunch. Indian Food is usually always a hit for us due to the large vegertain options that are available to her as well as the non vegetarian options for me. Plenty of great choices to pick from making the decision difficult. I ordered Chicken Vindaloo (Chicken and potatoes in a spicy vindaloo sauce) When ordering, the waiter ensured I was ready for the heat from spice ranking it a 10 of 10. Will admit I love hot foods, and was apprehensive with his warnings but pushed forward. While the food was definitely spicey, not sure if I would rank as a 10 of 10 being some Indian dishes have been insanely hot. All in all, the meal was delicious and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My daughter ordered the Paneer Kashmiri (Cheese cubes and veggies in a mild saffron korma sauce) and was thoroughly satisfied. Both entrees were served with Basmati Rice and Dal. While not needed , we also order Garlic Nan which was incredibly delicious. The Nan was even better when dipped in the savory sauces that our meal came in. As you can imagine, there was so much food that we both took some home that made for another meal. Overall, we were both super satisfied and left stuffed. Definitely a great location that we plan to return to. The location was perfect and was a short walk from Stevens. The food quality was good, the service was great, and I found the value to be exceptional for its location.“

“I was greeted with a warm welcome and smile. I ordered paratha roti, dhalpourie roti, doubles and Trini chinese. Everything was delicious and very authentic. The owner is super friendly and welcoming!

Will definitely be back!“

“One of the best South Indian and North Indian Cusines in New Jersey. I have been dining there since they opened. Great hospitality. excellent staff. I hosted business dinner and treated friends. Love to dine there any time of the year.“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“sobrang sarap, affordable price pa. Worth it bayad mo dito. Same ng lasa sa mga biryani na natikman ko sa Dubai. Highly recommended.“

“We were wanting to try an Indian spot for dinner and chose this one. We had a great time from the second we walked in to the end of our meal. The waitress was so kind and helpful especially since we had our baby daughter with us, with a highchair and asking if we needed anything, helping us order different meals and making sure we had everything we needed. The food was DELICIOUS, all the flavors were there and authentic. The food came out quick and we really enjoyed every meal, especially the garlic naan! We would for sure come again.“

“Such a great place!! The food was amazing and I would really recommend the jhol momo!! Warm atmosphere and Krishna is such an amazing and friendly guy, he really puts care into the food and the service ✨ great food, great place, and great service 😊“
