20 Best Indian Restaurants near Manalapan

“This restaurant Annaporni in manalpan was very good, samber, dosa, utthapam and vedas were excellent. I would go back again. Recommend this place for South Indian cuisine. Did not try their biryani’s but I am sure they are equally good.“

“1st time! Delicious food! We had the Vegetable Samosa and Tandoori Chicken Tikka for starters! Both were fabulous tasting, the Samosa had a nice spice to it, and the sizzling Tikka was just perfect! I had a Chicken Kadai and the wife had Chicken Badami Korma. Both delicious and even though I enjoy heat, these two dishes were mild and absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised at the great flavors! I highly recommended! And the prices are very reasonable! Will be back!“

“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.“

“Very classy ambiance. Food was delicious, hot and full of flavors. Ordered Butter Chicken and garlic naan which was super delicious.

“I catered from them for a small gathering at home and am very pleased with their service and their food.
Our guests enjoyed the food, it was delicious. They particularly liked Veg pulao, chilli chicken and chicken tikka masala, they delivered food in a large hot box which was mighty helpful as it kept food warm till the time it was served.
Thank you Brahma and team for
delicious food and great service. I recommend their business.“

“We ordered take away from Lahore Chatkhara for the first time last night. I have to eat gluten free so I am always nervous the first time eating anywhere but I was assured they would take great care of me and they did. The food was wonderful. It was so flavorful and delicious! I did not get sick which happens an hour after eating anything with gluten. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone gluten free and of course everyone else!“

“A group of us were there to celebrate a birthday when one person got sick (even before the food arrived). It turned out the person had flu. Ruby, Raj and Tony were phenomenal in their help, packing up the food and their understanding of the situation. Needless to say, the food is amazing and we will be going back very soon to finish our birthday celebrations.“

“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.“
