“Swadist is hands down one of the finest Indian dining experiences we have had in NewJersey City I say that having eaten at plenty of Indian restaurants in NY and NJ. We were a large group that tried many appetizers and entrees and not a single dish disappointed - every bite was amazing. The owners have not overlooked a single detail in not only the menu, but also the elegant decor. If you are looking for authentic Indian food with a modern feel, you will not be disappointed!“

“I had great experience with food which I ordered. It was chicken tikka masala and garlic naan with beer and the papadam was also greatly made. I had one of the best restaurant experience and the waiter Abhiraj also hosted us to the top level even though it was a rush hour and heeded to our needs even when he was busy.
Great food and great service.“

“I'm obsessed with this food truck! Fresh, made-to-order dishes at amazing prices. Family-owned, and you can tell they're pouring their hearts into it.

My go-to is the Paneer Kothu Paratha - ridiculously flavorful! The yogurt adds a perfect kick. Worth the 45-minute wait, trust me!

The chef works hard to get every dish just right. Don't let the wait scare you off - this food is the real deal. Support local and give it a try!

Vegetarian options: Paneer and Veg Kothu Paratha.
Panner and Chickpea Kathi Rolls.
Paneer and Chickpea curry
Dosa.“

“One the best place to have desi food. Always love their food“

“Delicious vegetarian Indian bites!“

“It’s a perfect feast for someone who’s craving for South Indian breakfast. Every food hits on point.

Served in right way, tastes right.

And the atmosphere, it’s as same as tiffin centers in India. No matter which city you’re from, the taste reminds you the best spot from your city.“

“We have gotten take out from here several times and have loved the food. We go here for our Kerala food fix and the flavors are spot on. The food feels homemade and the spices are just right. My personal favorites are the banana leaf fish pollichathu, kerala chicken fry, chicken roast, chicken curry and fish curry with the tapioca. The owners are lovely people too!“

“Really great experience had two sandwiches both were amazing. Owner was really nice talked with him for a few minutes about their new store. Highly recommend“

“Embark on a culinary journey at Pariwaar Delights, where each bite tells a story of Indian flavors and traditions. The attention to detail and commitment to authentic recipes make this restaurant a true gem.“

“This cute little "hole in the wall" is truly a hidden gem! While in reality, it's no hole in the wall at all. You actually feel like you're in a small shop in India when dining-in with the colorful decorations, background music and overall setup of the restaurant. Not to mention the food, which was absolutely amazing! Very tasteful chaat and small dishes, each with it's own little twist. I got:

-masala chai
-mango lassi
-Chinese Frankie (get it on a paratha)
-Chili Cheese Corn Grilled Sandwich
-to top it off, get their Chocolate Pan - it was bomb!

EVERYTHING was 10/10. I loved the food so much, I get went again the next day.

Ask for Ajay or Shubham - very friendly folks who'll take great care of you while there!“

“Nice Indian restaurant. First time coming here. We were a party of 7. The staff is super friendly and patient. Everything was delicious. We ordered the meat platter (lamb, chicken, shrimp), chicken masala, lamb curry, white rice, butter chicken and garlic naan bread. I would definitely come back. The only thing I would change is the chairs since I saw them a bit with stain and old.“

“Best Swaminayaran Vada Pav.“

“We ordered takeout for the first time from this place, and it was fantastic! We had been wanting to try it for a while. We ordered the paneer timepass, dabeli, butter locho, pav bhaji, and cold coffee. The food was amazing—great portion sizes and a traditional taste in every item. The prices were very reasonable, too. We’ll definitely be back!“

“The only restaurant we dine at in India Square! Literally here at least twice per month, and always our first choice when we want to stay in and order online. The food always comes out on time and delicious. We always get the special chicken biryani and chicken tandoori and they always come out flavourful and juicy. We’ve had their naans before too and they were also exceptional. I have noticed recently though that the food sometimes doesn’t come out hot.

My husband and I are introverts and we really appreciate the chill and relaxed service we receive. Not too pushy or hover-y, just comfortable. I also really love the vibe here! I absolutely LOVE that they show Bollywood on their TV! I don’t understand a thing, but it’s such a nice touch it makes the restaurant feel homey and local. A LOT of locals dine here too and the restaurant is never empty, if not full, so I think that speaks a lot about their food.

Overall, we love Southern Spice! Absolutely have been recommending to our friends, and now to all of Google!“

“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!!“

“This is a must have in New Jersey. The wings ,chicken curry, rice and Naan was delicious. see you next time“

“Little India is my new go-to for Indian food! The flavors are incredible—each dish is packed with authentic spices and tastes amazing. The Chicken Biryani is my favorite; it's perfectly spiced and the chicken is so tender. The naan is always warm and fluffy and delicious.

The service is fast and friendly, and the food is always hot. It’s a little pricier than some places, but the quality is definitely worth it. Highly recommend Little India if you’re looking for amazing Indian food!“

“Beautiful little Indian restaurant full of thoughtful touches and decor. The service was excellent; the seating very comfortable; the serving plates and dishes are exquisite and the food is the best Indian food I have ever eaten. My husband had the shrimp saag; I had an eggplant dish; we had the crispy cauliflower appetizer and the rosemary naan. We enjoyed every bite. Simply wonderful experience at a special place. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Jersey City.“

“A perfect place to try any paratha, and butter chicken at its best. Very friendly service, and they ensure to make sure even rude customers who come with desi attitude is also treated well.. give them a visit and you will defenitly be well served...cheers“

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

“My family and I are from Hyderabad, India, and while we were in the area, we decided to visit this restaurant. I can honestly say, this is the most authentic Hyderabadi food we’ve ever tasted in America. Nothing else compares—not only to the food itself but to the warmth and dedication of the staff who prepare and serve it. The team is incredibly friendly and respectful of tradition, which we truly appreciated. They even offer weekly specials featuring classic dishes from Hyderabad that I’ve never seen on a menu in the U.S. Abbas Bhai welcomed us so warmly, taking great care of us and even treating my one-year-old son to a complimentary dessert. I can’t recommend this place enough. Look no further—this is a 100% must-try!“

“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 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.“

“સારા સ્વભાવની વ્યક્તિ એવી વ્યક્તિ છે જે મૈત્રીપૂર્ણ, આવકારદાયક અને આનંદદાયક હોય છે અને જે અન્ય લોકોને ખુશ અને આરામદાયક અનુભવે છે. ઉત્તમ ટિફિન સેવાઓ.+ સંપૂર્ણ શાકાહારી“

“Sad to say I never visited yesteryear Dosa Hut, so I'll take people's word that it was good back in the day--but you know what? Todayyear Dosa Hut is still pretty awesome, so I'm happy with that.

If you want the most interesting flavor bomb in your mouth, try the Gunpowder Onion Chili Masala Dosa, which lives up to every part of its name (including the bang). The classic Butter Masala Dosa is as big and crispy as possible without breaking apart, while the Rava Masala Dosa offers a different-textured wrap that's just as exciting.

I was too stuffed to try more than a bite of the Vada Pav, but remember it being fluffy and flavorful. Not sure I'll ever get around to having a full one since I'm going to be trying as many dosas as I can here every time I make the schlep over.

Points also for freshly made Mango Lassi, though on a scale of milkshake to yogurt, it definitely leans on the yogurt side of thickness.

Decor is just as minimal and bare bones as you'd expect for a restaurant with better things to worry about, but service was friendly and fast. Then again, we did come by after 2:30pm on a Sat.“

“I forgot to take pictures because I was busy eating — it was so good!!
It reminded me of the delicious food my friends’ parents would cook and share with me.
The flavors were so deep, exquisitely balanced, and I savored every single bite of it.
And everyone working there were so kind and nice to talk to.

I can’t wait to come back soon.“

“The sweets were AMAZING and really authentic. The laddoos are a must try but they have a lot of variety of tasty, fresh, and quality choices. The staff was friendly and had a lovely conversation with me while giving me recommendations on what to get. Would definitely come back to try the other food!“

“Bases on the taste it's not recommended otherwise the location, Customer service and ambiance is good!!!“

“We went on a Monday night as a group, and it was the first time in my life that I tried Indian food (it was actually an Indian friend who recommended this place). They have very spicy options, but we ordered the mild options and they were perfect. Rating 10 for the food and service.

“Five before some guy who manages the restaurant was making really bad food. Since 5 months I am eating food from here and I love the biriyani and all Indian food because New management is now running the restaurant and she cooks awesome food.
