“Nice indian restaurant in the area .super food.“

“My go to place for Khaman, Khandvi, samosas and a lot more Gujarati food. Awesome taste, food served always fresh. Next time, I am going to try thali, I heard it is very good.“

“Came here for the first time- we’re Vegans, and sometimes it’s difficult to find an Indian restaurant that has many vegan options. The staff went out of their way to help us find the vegan options on the menu, and when they were out of some ingredients to make certain dishes (it’s Diwali, and so it’s a busy time of year) that featured mushrooms and tofu, they actually custom created a dish so that we could try more of what they have to offer. A great experience, and will definitely be coming back!

We can't wait to go back. The owner Dinesh along with his staff offer you a very good and attentive service. We find the prices very reasonable. Please don't hesitate to stop by if you can and enjoy a wonderful Indian cuisine at Taj Mehar.“

“I was there earlier today with a group of friends for the Christmas special Bengali Food Festival. We were quite impressed by the menu selection. The food was not oily& spicy at all,hence even the kids enjoyed the food. The service was good. I wish the restaurant would be more spacious. Other than that I would highly recommend this place.“

“Absolutely amazing. They're a family owned restaurant so I understand its hard with these times and coronavirus. Its hard to find good Indian food and I must say, I've been coming here for more than 20 years and I still will be coming more and more! Out of all the restaurants in parsippany & Rt 46, I specially come down to Wayne to eat this amazing food. my fav is the sag panir, malai kofta, and vegetable biryani. I love the one waitress and how she explained the spice levels according to chiptole and taco bell! the uncle who is the owner always greets everyone like hes known them for years. Like we are family, its heart warming since i dont live with my family. Amazing food, amazing people and amazing prices!“

“The food is EXTREMELY good at the spot, especially if you’re a first time Indian-cuisine eater. Terrence is such an amazing person!!! He was so kind to me, and recommended the chicken curry dish to me, which was a 10/10 dish!

Try out this spot!!“

“Everything was divinely delicious! I highly recommend both the crab and spinach with goat cheese appetizers! The seasoning on the entress was amazing, you can taste every spice! Truly delicious is an understatement! As for dessert, I can't recall what the exact name is but it's a lentil based pudding and omg, pure heaven! The service, the atmosphere, the people, the place, the music, the cleanliness.....I absolutely loved it all! I adore this place! Can't wait to go back, every blessing for the new year guys! This place is top notch, and as a Greek who grew up in the restaurants (and is def a food snob) that's a huge compliment! I wouldn't just say that about any place, you guys sincerely deserve it! Bravo 🧿“

“We beat the rush. Cane in and ordered sat down and with in 15 mins had our food. There were those who ordered on line. The rush was so great some waited an hour before getting their order. We came in at 5:30. If you seriously need your order. Order between 5:00pm & 5:30pm or after 7pm. If you Can hold Out. LaZeez was that slammed. They with a full staff were that overwhelmed. Good food, great service. But choose your time in going. They only have so much room for flexibility. Maybe they need to buy the place next door and expand there kitchen?“

“Nice and tasty food, good customer service“

“I had my son's first birthday at Rishtta and Madhi and his staff made it a truly memorable and oustanding event!

Working with Mr. Madhi at Rishtta was a pleasure. I planned a morning pooja followed by a lunch birthday party and he not only opened up the hall at 6 am and provided outstanding and dedicated staff to help assist in the food and decor set up and maintenance but also supported my other vendors so well. He was there the whole time to help with setup but also delegated some of the assistance to his staff, who were all very dedicated, helpful, and kind!

Rishtta provided all the drinks, which included delicious spiced chaas, masala chai, and mango lassi. All food and drinks were refilled throughout the 6-hour event and no guest went without these delicious refreshments. Rishtta also provided a live chaat station, which I highly highly recommend for your next event. It included fresh pani puris, aloo tikki chaat, and samosa chaat. Nothing was too spicy and my guests loved it! His servers helped cut my tiered cake and served it so perfectly.

I highly recommend Rishtta for any event that you are having! Thank you Rishtta for making my son's first birthday a very memorable event!“

“Good food and service I love their Shrimp Biriyani“

“2025 Update: Still excellent tasty Indian street food. Some Indo-Chinese-Thai fusion options. Courteous and friendly staff. Still in need of furniture and decor overhaul.

2019: Excellent, tasty food, very friendly and courteous staff. But, lot of scope for improvement on cleanliness and furniture.“
