Very delicious and will definitely return. My husband forgot his phone , we came back and the owner had kept it safely . Will definitely return .“

“Cute and quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious! Chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala. Also some spicy chili garlic Naan, butter Naan and roti. Flavorful and good portion sizes. They could stand to give a little more rice with the entree, but that doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the dishes. Can't wait to return to try other menu options.“

“Highly recommend!! Food, service and ambiance was amazing!!! Our servers were the best, shout out to Zeel & Pratik! We had the best butter chicken & chicken 65. Their kathi rolls was so good too. Zeel & Pratik recommended mango plaza for dessert, it was delicious! Will be coming back for more delicious food ??“

“Had the chef’s special …Chicken Pot Pie. It was outstanding!! Full of chicken and vegetables and this delicious sauce. I was a little concerned that the crust was thick but I had it with the sauce…it was perfect. Samosas were very flavorful as well. The chef even gave me a tasting of his pistachio cheesecake while I waited. It was to die for!! I will definitely be eating there again. You should too!!“

“What a New Jersey!!!! This food is worthy of the most expensive Indian establishments. The owners, Shazad and Raza, are so hospitable and you can tell they create dishes from the heart.

Shazad prepared a special mix grill of their five types of chicken: malai not, seekh kebab, tandoori chicken, and tikka— each one seasoned distinctly. You could tell that the masalas and seasonings were made fresh and the chicken was of the highest quality.

Their mango lassi is made fresh with Alphonso mangoes.

Their cheese and garlic naan were the best of compliments for the grill. The garlic naan was light with the right amount of garlic and the cheese naan was so comforting with its cheesiness.

As a Californian who has her pick of amazing, inventive Indian cuisine, this New Jersey gem has stolen my heart!

I hope you enjoy their food and the warmth of their establishment as well!

Kid-friendliness: The place is a family atmosphere with lots of comfortable booth seating.“

“Menu Taste Service Ambiance Nice Gesture Love ❤️“

“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.“

The chicken, lamb were perfectly cooked and were very delicious and also there were desserts too (gulab jamun,kheer) which were tasty.
The staff were also very friendly and 100% would suggest this Indian restaurant“

“Excellent food quality, portions and taste. I have ordered several times now and they never disappoint. The cheesy garlic naan is default on every order and you can't go wrong with either their vegetarian or meat options. Parking is a little rough but typically not an issue for me as I am always getting takeout.“

“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.“

“We had Neelam's baby shower at the Royal Albert Palace, and it was a great experience! The hall was perfect for our event, with a big stage for decorations and plenty of space for our guests to enjoy.

The food was excellent across the board—breakfast, lunch, and dessert were all delicious, and many people complimented the taste. The staff were friendly and helpful, making sure everything went smoothly.

Overall, the Royal Albert Palace was a fantastic place for the baby shower, and I would recommend it for any special event!“

“Today was my first visit to this location, and I prefer it over the Metuchen location. The Sayreville restaurant is absolutely immaculate, nicely decorated, and the bathrooms are spotless; everything is clean and modern. The food is as I expected: fantastic! I had the bhel puri and the hariyali noodle with shredded paneer. Both dishes were fresh and bursting with flavor! The rose lassi complemented the spices of the food, and the paan shot delicious! There is paan available at the counter, and five varieties of mukhwas at the exit. It was a great experience, and everyone was very nice.“

“Authentic South Indian food. All the items are delicious. Price is less than what you would expect and there is no compromise on the quality and quantity. Superb sambar. Mango milk was awesome. Friendly service and place is clean. Orders were ready within 10 mins. Hand washing area is there. Seating area feels like somewhat outdated. Plenty of parking space available.

Vegetarian options: All vegan“

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

“Sigri Restaurant is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving authentic Sri Lankan food. Every time I visit, I order the Hoppers, which include three regular ones and one egg hopper—my all-time favorite! I also love the string hoppers here. They taste amazing and are served with a small bowl of coconut curry and dried coconut chutney. This time, I decided to try the mixed fried rice, which was really good, along with a veg stew.“

“Some of the most convenient and delicious Indian food I have ever had- the service was excellent and the food was delicious to pair with that. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for Indian food that is high quality and a quick meal.“
