“My family wanted indian after apple picking and we couldn’t find a place until I looked up Indian and found them. It said 5 stars and the ratings were not wrong. This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The food was excellent and there were so many choices. All of the food was worth it. I’ve been to many Indian restaurants and this place is in my top 3. The owner is such an amazing, hardworking, and sweet woman. She told us her story about for 20 years she’s wanted to have a restaurant yet she took the time to support and take care of her kids. It was heartwarming. She also told us a story of a father and a daughter who were starving and came to the door after close hoping they didn’t close yet. The chefs left, but she didn’t want them hungry. She still let them in and she cooked dinner for them and didn’t let them pay. It was for free. She expresses how being able to give food is a blessing and the biggest reward is being able to give food for people in need and feeding the people. She deserves this restaurant. Not only is she an amazing woman, but the bigger plus is the food is absolutely amazing. The naan, aloo papri chaat, chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, lamb tikka masala, paneer tikka masala. All of it was amazing and so flavorful. For the spice levels my brother and I got medium and my parents got medium plus and the spice levels were perfect.“

“I was there last night for the first time. The atmosphere was very relaxing and spotlessly clean. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. The food was excellent and very nice size portions. I will be putting this on my go to restaurant list.“

“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“

“What an absolute delight and surprise! Chef Salil personally brought the day's special dish for us to try. Remarkable and memorable. Explained the menu to perfection. The food so fresh and made daily in their kitchen. We will be going back often.“

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

“I recently ate at Cumin N Eat, and honestly, the food completely lived up to the hype.

From the moment the dishes came out, you could tell everything was made fresh and with real attention to flavor. The spices were perfectly balanced—not too overpowering, but still packed with that rich, authentic taste that makes you want to keep eating even when you’re full. Every bite had depth, and you can tell they don’t cut corners when it comes to ingredients.

But the highlight for me had to be the wings. They were absolutely amazing—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a sauce that had the perfect mix of flavor and heat. Not too spicy, not too mild—just right. They were easily some of the best wings I’ve had, and I’d go back just for those alone.

Overall, Cumin N Eat is definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re in New Jersey. Great flavor, great quality, and food that actually leaves an impression.“

“Great food and Service too“

“A beautiful, elevated setup for a thali spot—definitely a much-needed addition compared to other Gujarati thali places in NJ. The food tasted amazing, and the service was top-notch with prompt refills throughout the meal. I especially appreciated how kid-friendly they are; they didn't force a full thali on our child, which prevented unnecessary food waste. A fantastic experience overall!“

“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.“

“PROs - hidden gem , homely food , serviceCONs- location , limited menu itemsI rarely give a 5 star . We were near Marlboro area and were craving for some vegetarian food . Saw Google and decided to visit this restaurant . At first , we kinda were joking around looking at the restaurant as there were no customers . Location was a bit wierd. .. we went in and asked if there was food and the Indian lady came and was kind of shocked to see 12 of us coming in . She said she will start cooking then and will take time .We almost wanted to leave the place because we weren’t confident of how fast they will prepare.. to all our surprise , she was able to cook food quickly and the food was deliciousssssssssss.. its almost like our mom cooking at home . We had unlimited thali.she brought us dolls , samosa , kichadi , rotis , undhiyiu, potato bhaji, gulab jamun, chaas etc. all my friends were happy and had a fantastic meal . She said to call her next time before coming , so she can prepare all food :) even though it was a slow start , we were so happy with the food .It’s truly a hidden gem . Both owners were sweet and the service was exceptional.“

“If you’re looking for aunthetic Thai and Indian food… I highly recommend this place. I recently dined at Basil Indian & Thai Cuisine they are located in 3972 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island, New York. The reservation was easy to make, the staff were extremely helpful in accommodating and friendly. The ambiance was great, the food is fantastic and lived up to my expectations. Two thumbs up and 3 stars! 👍🏼👍🏼 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent restaurant with love for food truly in the taste that you will get here. No fancy stuff but a true food lover's paradise. Expect nothing but the authentic taste and excellent fast service. I am truly surprised by the price (reasonable to low)as well as compared to other Indian restaurants here.

Keep up the excellent taste. Long live this restaurant.“

“I must appreciate the consistently good food here. I have been here multiple times since the new ownership and everytime, the food is consistently great. Their Biryani, Appetizers everything tasted so good. Please keep up the great taste. Will keep coming back.“

“This unassuming place involves a great Indian food experience, good selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, catering to different dietary needs, which includes, flavorful fishes made to order, (for those of us who can’t have salt, they make any requested dish, with no salt involved), freshly baked naan, and dishes that cater to different spice preferences. Dishes are absolutely always well-seasoned, with a good balance of spices. The atmosphere is always welcoming, with friendly service, and generous portions. Attentive and knowledgeable staff who are happy to offer recommendations and explain dishes. We’ve been coming here for years and converted many of our friends to Indian food, due to this place. The food and service never disappoints. From the hardworking owners to the amazing staff. Everything is absolutely, delicious.“

“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“

“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.“

“Me and my husband were both looking for a biryani spot and found this place on google. I’m glad that we did because the food was excellent. The flavors were top notch and the spice levels were noticeable between our two dishes. Yummy food, would come back again“

“By yesterday, I can proudly say I have tasted food in all the restaurants on the food court. Astonishingly, I wasn't disappointed by even one. All cuisines were great and there are a lot (in Indian cuisine there are a variety of cuisines) you can try. The place itself looks a bit old and the tables can use a bit of work. I have eaten here since a few years and I assure you there is no change in the quality or the taste, I love how consistent they are. I've seen empires raise and fall but this place still keeps its place when it comes to food and service. Keep crushing it folks.“

“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“

“Very nice food, in Sayreville Highly recommend for catering“

“so far the best Indian food in Freehold/ Marlboro area, always a good experience whenever we go.“

“Came here last minute to get food, I do not regret my decision on coming here. The food was very delicious and yummy. Love this restaurant.“

“I went there yesterday with my friend of Indian ancestry. Wow! I was impressed. The food is outstanding....fresh and delicious!. The owner/chef is very friendly and accommodating, and will help you out with your selections (I am not Indian, and didn't know the various dishes....he explained everything well.) This is authentic Indian food, (and it is the only Indian-food restaurant at this Mall.) Something different. Seek it out. It's not listed under "Restaurants" in the Mall Directory; instead, it's under another category (I forget which....it might be Specialty Stores) Believe me....you won't be disappointed.“

“Amazing Food & Flavors!

Chandni Chowk in Iselin is a must-visit! Their non-veg sizzlers are flavorful, the chicken Nihari is perfectly spiced, and the fresh naan is unbelievably soft. The kebabs are tender and juicy. A fantastic spot for anyone craving top-notch food!“

“Food is delicious ! And their staff is amazing“

“I got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. The gentleman that was at the counter when I walked in was very pleasant and accommodating. The chicken was good, I would say 7.5/10, and the garlic naan was out of this world, 10/10. I will be returning“

“Food taste and quality are good. Amritsari kulcha platter must try. Staff and service was nice!!“

“I had outstanding experience with them twice. I love the Chicken Legs they make, they are among the best you can get anywhere in U.S.. Their prices are reasonable, we also tried their butter chicken, which was not spicy, perfect for my daughter. That was also good. They serve naan with butter chicken so that went in our favor.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "An Exceptional Venue for Community Events!" We had the pleasure of hosting several matchmaking meet-up events at Dhaba Edison, and it has consistently exceeded our expectations. The restaurant's ambiance creates a welcoming and relaxed environment, making it ideal for fostering connections and building meaningful relationships among attendees. A special mention goes to Raj, the owner, whose professionalism and warm hospitality have made our experience truly remarkable. From the very beginning, when we organized our first event at Dhaba Edison, Raj went out of his way to assist us. Despite a lower-than-expected turnout, he not only accommodated us but also refunded our deposit—a gesture that truly speaks to his commitment to his customers. Additionally, every time we’ve held a matchmaking meetup at Dhaba Edison, Raj has always been there to help with the buffet arrangements, even when we didn’t have a confirmed number of attendees. His support and flexibility have made organizing these events much easier. One of the standout features of Dhaba Edison is its delicious and diverse buffet, which offers a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes. The food is always flavorful, well-prepared, and of excellent quality. Whether you're craving authentic desi flavors or looking for a satisfying meal, Dhaba Edison never disappoints. The buffet is also reasonably priced, making it an affordable yet high-quality dining option for both small and large gatherings. Beyond our own events, Raj has built a reputation as one of the most supportive restaurant owners for small businesses in Central New Jersey. Among all desi restaurants in the area, I would personally rank Dhaba Edison as the best—not just for its exceptional food and service but also because of Raj’s generosity and dedication to helping others. We highly recommend Dhaba Edison for anyone looking to host community events, social gatherings, or simply enjoy an outstanding meal at great value. Ismat Shehzad Ismat Shaadi Services“

“I went in with my family for a Sunday buffet and I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Was greeted warmly as soon we walked in. The owner made sure, we were comfortable and was checking on us throughout the stay. The food was fresh and delicious, had good variety of options. I would deft be back in the future. Two thumbs up!“

“Has been our goto Dosa place since moving to NJ in 93. Simplistic. No frills. Order. Sit down. Wait for your number. Get up. Grab food and enter bliss. The most tasty and delicious dosa in the north east. Sambar is near perfection. Perfect pricing and portions. We have numerous places near us and I’d still choose here for the price,taste and portion size.

Parking: While there is convenience of parking lot. Once it fills. Super hard to park. Only a dozen spots.“

“Food and service was awesome. Staff was very friendly. I went there for breakfast ordered dosa and coffee. Dosas were very good. Chutneys and sambar were very tasty.“

“Good food. More options. Only concer is the woman at Bombay spice counter. She speaks rude. I took chole bhature costs 12.99 plus tax(13.83)
She double taxed. 13.83 plus tax. I asked why and she said price changed yesterday.. untrustworthy.“

“The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious! Enjoyed our family lunch at Amma's Kitchen this weekend!“

“My first time at this place, highly recommended by a close friend. Great food , tried Soy chaap masala, malai kofta , methi malai matar and daal makhani with chilli garlic naan and butter naan. Very delicious and will definitely return. My husband forgot his phone , we came back and the owner had kept it safely . Will definitely return .“

“I came here specifically for the HalwaPuri this morning, and it absolutely did not disappoint! There is nothing like a traditional breakfast to start the day right. The Puri was perfectly fluffy, light, and not too oily—just the way it should be.
The star of the show for me was the balance between the sweet and savory.

The Halwa had the perfect level of sweetness and a great texture, while the ChanaMasala (chickpea curry) and the potato bhaji had that authentic, spicy kick that makes #DesiFood so addictive. Mixing the sweet halwa with the spicy gravy on a piece of hot puri is a total #Foodie dream!“
