“We are lucky to have a Banquet hall like Rasoi in the town. It is perfect to have a small or big party. We recently had our Diwali get-together at Rasoi. The Food and service were top-class. The manager Prasad Kadam ensures all goes well and all guests are happy. The staff members are very warmth and welcoming. Once this place is renovated in the coming months, it will have a brand-new Banquet hall to host the parties. I hope Chefs will introduce and add new food dishes to the catering menu.“

“It was our honor and privilege to be a part of a dear friend's B'day Bash last Sunday at Kochi. Dining at Kochi was one of the, if not THE, most memorable experience ever. We were totally floored by the exquisite food - and service - provided by Chef and Owner Mr. Jebu Matthew and his team. From the cool berry drink and amazing classic South Indian appetizers, to the numerous - and for us, many new - items that kept appearing in front of us almost magically during the main meal, served in the traditional South Indian style (on banana leaves), right through the delectable halwa and delicious jaggery rice payasam (desserts), we could feel the love and careful attention with which each item was prepared and pride with which each item was served. Plus, being served by Mr. Matthew himself was, in and of itself, humbling. He patiently explained the intricacies of each delicacy which helped us understand the complexity of the cuisine's varied flavors. To be actually seated (for hours) and served at the table greatly enhanced the culinary experience. We have rarely, if ever, felt that we have consumed a feast - but now, can proudly say so - because of Mr. Matthew and our experience at Kochi. This one-of-a-kind mesmerizing event will remain etched as an indelible lifelong memory. Thank you so much - for making this magic happen. Wish Mr. Matthew only the very best in all his endeavors !

“Very few restaurants truly capture the essence of Indian street food — the bold flavors, the nostalgia and this is definitely one of them. The selection is refreshing and impressively vast, covering all the classics you crave.

I especially loved their Bedmi Poori, crisp, flavorful, and paired beautifully with the sabzi. Everything we tried was good, but the street food items truly stood out. The flavors are authentic, well-balanced just the way they should be.“

“Awesome place, food was so good, would definitely go again and recommend“

“Amazing food and very kind staff! Absolutely we recommend Divine Curry!“

“I’m a big fan of Dosa grill, have always loved their food menu for catering. They always go above and beyond to accommodate any orders, specifically Mirchi pakora … that’s a big hit in parties. I would certainly recommend them for any catering needs.“

“Nice and cozy place with a welcoming, homey vibe. Staff and waitress were super friendly and cheerful. Tables could’ve been a bit cleaner, but overall a good atmosphere. We tried the Peri Peri Vada Pav — vadas were great, but the pav and chutney could be better. Bhel was fresh and tasty. We even ordered Chinese Bhel, which had nice bits of Manchurian and paneer — the Manchurian pieces were a bit stiff, but overall it tasted good. We ordered Chole Kulcha but got Chole Naan instead, which was unexpected. Food overall is better than the competition, and definitely a place worth visiting!“

“better than last always great place to chilling“

“If you want to eat real good Indian food Bangalore express has all . I love the food.“

“Highly recommend! Great food, especially for Swaminarayan vegetarians. We went on Christmas Day with a large group and they were very accommodating with quick service. The meal was delicious. We enjoyed the chhole bhatura, Rose lassi, Gujarati thaali, methi gota, spring rolls, veg hakka noodles, and Manchurian. We will definitely be returning!“

“Service was excellent, really enjoyed the food.“

“For many of us longing for that traditional wedding feast served on a banana leaf, a visit to The Park Indian Restaurant is a must. The feast is served just like weddings back home with so many veg and non-veg dishes and most importantly with such warm hospitality that one feels like part of the family. It would be an injustice to pick a top dish because each one is a star in its category. Unlimited food at such an affordable price! We will be returning every time this fabulous feast is offered.“

“Authentic and delicious food for Indian food lovers. Great service and very humble staff. Very competitive prices as compared to other Indian restaurants with better service and food. We enjoyed it a lot.“

“The Bharta was amazing. We loved the ambience and everything we ordered. Chintan was great at serving and also accommodated our special requests in food. Would definitely recommend this place.“

“Great food, even better customer service!!!!“

“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.“

“Loved the food and service from attentive staff at Jhopri! We gathered as a small group for a birthday celebration, and enjoyed the time at Jhopri. Thanks for making our time there special and memorable. Special mention to the manager, Pradeep and staff who ensured we are comfortable by making all the arrangements.“

“Been there 100 times or more in the 80's & 90's but have discovered many other Indian Restaurants since then. I have to get back there with Mary and you guys.“

“The food is really good, with each dish prepared carefully and full of flavor. The quality of ingredients is evident, and everything tastes fresh and well-balanced. Along with the food, the way customers are greeted makes the experience even better. The staff is polite, welcoming, and attentive, which creates a warm and comfortable atmosphere from the moment you walk in. This combination of delicious food and excellent customer service makes the place enjoyable and memorable, leaving customers satisfied and happy to return again.“

“Food was very good. We ordered onion and spinach pokoras and gobi 65 appetizers, boneless chicken biryani, dak tarka, and aloo saag for dinner. Pakoras came out first, and then we waited for the cauliflower. Dal tarka and naan came out next, we were told the gobi was on its way. Aloo saag arrived next, then cauliflower, then after another wait the chicken biryani. We received rice after asking for it twice. Everything was delicious, but service was disjointed, distracted, and inexperienced. Irani tea at the end ouf our meal was also very good.“

“Absolutely phenomenal—this Indian restaurant is nothing short of a flavor paradise. From the very first bite, it’s clear that the kitchen is run by people who truly understand spices and balance.

The shrimp tandoori is perfection: succulent, smoky, and beautifully charred, with the shrimp remaining juicy and tender inside. Each piece is infused with deep, aromatic flavors that linger just long enough to make you crave the next bite. The malai chicken is pure comfort luxury—creamy, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth soft, with a subtle smokiness that elevates it far beyond the usual fare. It’s indulgent without being heavy, and easily one of the best versions I’ve ever had.

And then there’s the showstopper: the pepper fry mutton. Bold, fiery, and unapologetically robust, this dish is a masterclass in South Indian spice work. The mutton is cooked to tender perfection, coated in a peppery, aromatic masala that delivers heat, depth, and incredible complexity in every bite.

This is the kind of place that doesn’t just serve food—it creates an experience. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, authentic, and unforgettable. If you love Indian food and appreciate expertly cooked meats with powerful, well-rounded flavors, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Horrible food and catering. Avoid the Cafe Nicole at Holiday Inn as well as Shimla Catering.“

“I ordered the Chicken Chettinadu, veg momo, and veg lunch combo — all were absolutely delicious! The Chicken Chettinadu had the perfect balance of spice and savory, and the veg momo were fresh, flavorful, and filled with a nice variety of vegetables. The veg lunch combo was satisfying and well-portioned, and the kheer dessert was fresh and mildly sweet — a perfect way to end the meal. Everything was packaged neatly and arrived warm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for flavorful, well-prepared Indian cuisine. I’ll definitely be ordering again!“

“Everyone there were so lovely , the Temple and grounds are truly magnificent and should be celebrated for its workmanship and dedication. The cafe was enjoyable, the food was delicious and reasonable. We also enjoyed the food market and gift shop, we brought home purchases from both. Thank you for an amazing experience.“

“Not a huge fan of spicy food because my stomach doesn't handle it too well but I must say that the food is good. I got a butter chicken bowl with rice and veggies and it had a tiny kick to it. It was delicious and I handled the spice just fine. Also like the vibe of the place and the friendly service.“

“Very nice preparation and prompt service“

“Love the authentic south Indian telugu tiffin dishes you get here , it is exactly like eating at any good breakfast restaurant in Andhra or Telangana ,the same local flavor ,it is one of the very few restaurants here which retains the local flavors, highly recommended.“

“On a very cold December day we had several hours before a concert, and there was no coffee shop to be found because the university was closed. We stumbled upon this oasis of Com and Indian home cooking. They welcomed us in where we made ourselves at home, had delicious chai, excellent appetizers and entrées. The family could not have been more warm and turned what was a
cold grumpy day into a delightful pre-concert experience. For appetizers, the crunchy salmon and the crispy vegetables were our choice. I had the lemon coriander soup, which was lovely. Our entrées were the lamb Rogan Josh, mint chicken, and the cauliflower. We were very grateful for our delicious meal.“

“Indo-Chinese food is delicious. Very clean place and nice service. Worth it. Definitely will come next time..“

“Thanjai Mess in New Jersey is a real gem if you’re into authentic South Indian food. The place keeps things simple — no fancy setup, just delicious, homestyle meals that taste straight out of Tamil Nadu. The food is fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The dosas are crisp and golden, the idlis are soft and fluffy, and the sambar hits that perfect tangy note. It feels like you’re eating in someone’s home kitchen rather than a restaurant.

Portions are generous and prices are really fair for the quality you get. The thali meals are a must-try — great variety, with enough spice and comfort to keep you coming back. Service is friendly and quick, and even when it’s busy, the staff handle everything with a smile. Parking is easy and the vibe stays casual, which makes it great for both quick lunch stops and weekend family meals. Thanjai Mess is easily one of my favorite spots for a true South Indian fix in NJ.“

“Dosa Grill has hands down the best Indian food in the Syracuse area. As soon as you enter, you begin enjoying the rich aromas and friendly atmosphere. All their dishes are perfectly seasoned and carefully prepared. The buffet is extensive, with many of my favorites. We have been return customers there since it opened and I can honestly say it contributes to our quality of life.“

“We love Delhi Garden! Best Indian food we’ve had out of many many different places and great service too. Apparently our 13 month old approves as well! 😜 Highly recommend!“

“Excellent chef and delivery service“

“I have been a customer of this place for a year now. I usually get Chicken, Goat a vegetable dishes every other weekend. Their preparations are tasty and reasonably priced and the front desk personnel like Guru are very courteous and accommodating. I would highly recommend this place for Indian Cuisine.“

“I have eaten at a lot of Indian food spots and this has to be one of my favorite places. The owner is always super friendly and the food is delicious!! I highly recommend coming here if you wanted to try good Indian food. If anyone wanted a recommendation on what to get, my favorite dish to order is the paneer tikka masalaㅤᵕ̈“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“Great food, welcome to Montgomery!“

“Me and my friends randomly decided to here as we were leaving Princeton and it was AMAZING! I got the lamb dosa and it was so so good, as an Indian I’ve never had dosa w lamb and I was pleasantly surprised. My friend got the chicken with cheese one and that was amazing as well. I can’t wait to come back to try the other options, esp the canteen sandwiches! Def recommend.“
