Pleasantly surprised how good the food was.
Had the vegetable tikka pizza - well made crust was perfect.
Also had the saag paneer and naan - both were very good and came with side of rice.

Their menu is bit confusing and hard to follow but glad we tried.

Very reasonably priced - try it out!“

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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Just moved into the area and showing my first Indian restaurant. Five stars easily. Everything was delicious. The chicken was tender.

I'm back again a few days later and the food is just as good maybe even better. If there were more than five stars, that's where I would be. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“First Sri Lankan restaurant my husband and I went to here in USA. This was the closest to us and since we were missing Sri Lankan food so much we went here to have a taste. We had lamprais, sri lankan style chicken fried rice and hoppers which included 1 egg hopper and 4 plain hoppers it came with coconut sambol and fried rice came with chili paste. All reminded us of Sri Lanka and it was worth the visit. We will definitely go back.
Plenty of parking available in-front and no reservation required we just walked in and got a table for two. Highly recommend the place!“

“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.“
