“We had our wedding reception at Ember, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The service was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The owner was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to ensure everything went perfectly. He truly went above and beyond, exceeding all our expectations. Everyone raved about how delicious the food was, and the staff were attentive and quick to help throughout the event. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the top-notch service we received. A huge thank you to everyone at Ember for making our wedding day so special and memorable!“

“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.“

“I had shrimp biriyani, malai chicken, chicken boneless biriyani, goat sukka. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. I’m from other state and never had such good food in USA. I totally recommend this place.

“Wow! What a find! Just celebrated my birthday! The food, the atmosphere, and the service was stellar! The hostess explained the dishes in a warm caring manner. Will definitely be back. Created a wonderful experience.“

“Had a great time, Ritik provided great service, he was professional and was quite helpful in figuring out everything for us! The food was overall really good, I would recommend asking for some chutney with the paneer bullet to make the best of it. The paneer tikka masala and dum aloo were my favorites and desert was a nice finish. I will definitely be returning another time!“

“This was the busiest restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. It is a fairly large space and probably used to be a chain restaurant, but it was completely PACKED with people who wanted vegetarian food! I was impressed. Plan ahead though; we waited 45 minutes for a table. There were very few options (only 2 dishes and an appetizer) for vegans. Someone had to come over and suggest them for us. When we did get the food, however, it was incredible - freshly made with beautiful ingredients. You could feel the shredded ginger and my dal had bright green baby spinach, which I almost never see in an Indian restaurant. If there had been more vegan options it would have been a 5.“

“I live about 40 minutes south in Lawrenceville, and the food at Chatpati is worth the drive up.

Easily the best Indian cuisine I’ve had in Jersey despite the humble ambiance. Think fast casual, but with a culinary team that has deep respect, and love, for the food they create.

Every dish was executed well. Big flavors, contrasting textures, gracious staff. Will return often.“

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

“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 !

“I recently had the pleasure of dining here and I must say, it was an exceptional experience! The owner is incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Their genuine hospitality truly added to the overall enjoyment of our meal.

The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. I especially appreciated that they use no MSG or preservatives, which made the meal not only tasty but also wholesome and healthy.

Whether you’re looking for a cozy meal or a taste of authentic South Indian cuisine, this restaurant is a must visit. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to friends and family. Thank you for such a wonderful dining experience!“

“One of best street food I ever had. Owner was very friendly and nice too us. I asked the owner what dish is popular and well known and he said bhakri pizza and indo Chinese. So we got bhakri pizza, Dahi Puri, peri peri fries and chilli paneer. Everything was fantastic and my personal favorite was the peri peri fries. We ended our meal with milkshake and it was so yummy. The owner was very nice to us and he made sure we were doin great. I highly recommend this place if u are missing choice in India.

Everything was very well managed here. Definately eating here again.“

Highly recommend! We will definitely go back very soon!“

“I had the Dosa Grill cater my housewarming pooja, they exceeded all of my expectations and delivered great food. All of my guests enjoyed the food, the food was fresh, non-greasy, and delectable. They customized the spice level per our request. All in all, the Dosa Grill supplied us with fabulous food and I would definitely have them cater again.“

“On an recommendation from one of my known friend, ordered the food for an major event and it was very good among which Live Tandoor station was a big hit where guests enjoyed different varieties of Non-Veg and Veg kebabs made of authentic home made spices I believe with a smoky flavor which gave an extra add-on to the starters.
To the whole I say that, the event was 100% successful and all my friends and other guests loved the food A - Z which Shimla management provided with entrees, main course and desserts etc.
So, I truly recommend this to other people when asks and hope this Shimla catering services continues the same ambience and hospitality and would always be going to be my straight to go place for all my future events.
All the best @Shimla Catering for all your future endeavors and grow big…!!!“

“This is a small but quick-service place. I visited on a Wednesday and had the Rava Masala, which was amazing! It had the perfect combination of a crispy outer layer and soft onions inside. I absolutely loved both chutneys. The sambar was decent, but the Pongal and Tamarind were very authentic and flavorful. Highly recommend it!

Vegetarian options: .“

Every dish was delicious, and I highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic, home-style flavors. Definitely a must-visit!“

“We ordered lunch for our office event and the food was delicious. It was delivered on time and the service was excellent. Everyone loved the Amritsari fried fish and pudina chicken appetizers. Even their veg curries especially methi malai mutter was delicious. Lamb Rogan was also one of the favorite dishes of the day. Would highly recommend delhi garden for big events!“

“Friendly staff.very tasty food.good experience.“

“Awesome food for those who prefer a proper South Indian (tamil nadu)biryani and dishes. The pichipota natu kozhi fry was particularly good. We tried the thalapakattu mutton Biryani and Chennai style biryani was also impressive..the masala they use for the dishes is authentic…“

“This restaurant has probably gone through multiple changes of ownership/chef with the food quality going up and down with each iteration. I must say that with the current establishment the food quality is outstanding! It is probably the best it has ever been. They don’t skimp on rice either, providing a container of rice with each entree ordered. The only complaint might be that the entrees that used smoked vegetables might have been a little too smoky, but still delicious. Try the food now before it changes again.“

“I always do take out because of work schedule. This restaurant is great with friendly staff and service. My order is always ready on time and the food is always consistently good every time. My favorite dishes are Lamb Rogan Josh and Lamb Biriyani. Always delicious. I Highly recommend this restaurant for take out or dinning in option.“

“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.“

“We had a wonderful experience with Nirvanis Kitchen.
We have celebrated Diwali at our Parker Adult day center @ Somerset. We ordered our lunch from Nirvanis. Food was excellent.
I was little skeptical about Indian food as some of our participants trying Indian food first time and how spicy it will be it will be for them. I spoke with Niraj couple times. He was very diligent and took good care of our order. All foods were fresh hot and testy, not spicy at all and the amount of food was plenty.
I will definitely order again and recommend others to order food from them. Our team was 100% satisfied.“

“We had visited Chopstick III several times over the years, and loved the consistency in delivering authetic Indo-Chinese flavors. Last week, we had them cater to an important milestone in our family and all the guests loved the food. Thank you for your helpful suggestions and looking forward for our next visit.“

“Es una hermosa experiencia!!! La Arquitectura es maravillosa. El sentido del Templo traspasa el alma de cada uno. Los voluntarios muy especiales, amables. Muy bien recibidos fuimos todos. Muchas gracias“

“Visited this amazing spot close to home, thanks to my brother's recommendation for their Wednesday Dosa buffet! The buffet runs from 5:45 PM to 9:30 PM, and we arrived around 8:30. We kicked off with idly, wada, and a variety of chutneys and sambhar. Then came naan with paneer butter masala, uthapam, and samosas, which were all fantastic. They also offered two types of rice, rasam, chaat, and desserts like mango lassi, gulab jamun, and ice cream.

For dosa, you place an order separately—we tried the butter Mysore masala dosa, paneer masala dosa, and Madurai masala dosa, all of which were delicious. The buffet is priced at around $22 per person, and it's totally worth it. While the variety of items isn't vast, the quality more than makes up for it. The dining space was comfortable, and the service was very professional. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy some great vegetarian food, especially vegetarians! They also have a regular veg menu on other days. Sharing a few pictures I captured from this visit!“

“Great service and great food! loved the variety of dishes...something for everyone!“

“Great food and staff!! We really enjoyed their special monthly banana leaf lunch (different menu each month) and the Mother’s Day dinner. Jhopri is brining our community together not just with a great variety of quality food but also with their passion for music. Looking forward to the menu for the next banana leaf lunch!!“

“Really cool concept! I love Indian food but it's always a sit down restaurant dinner and expensive. I got the paneer and basmati rice. It was quick and it tasted good. If u portion right it's 2 meals for <$15. Not that unhealthy with the right sauce. Going to add this to my rotation.

Wanting to edit my review, ate there at least five times since posting the first one and the food is still as good. Whatever you do DO NOT USE UBER TO ORDER!! UBER has messed up enough of my takeout orders with enough restaurants to know that it's not the restaurant or driver but the ubers software itself. For whatever reason the software that Uber uses messed up my order more often than not. The last order was literally the opposite of what I had picked, as if there there were several check boxes and checking one linked to the other (ie check not spicy n the foods too spicy to eat, order a paneer wrap, bowl of chicken literally came). Nothing in the order was correct. No human can screw it up that bad! Just call the restaurant directly and tell them what you want. Restaurant=great! UBER=🚮🗑️🚮

Vegetarian options: Paneer& rice no meat there“

“The food was delicious with plenty of clearly labeled vegan options in the entrees. We also got a desert free of charge when we informed the staff that it was a birthday celebration. The establishment allows you to byob/alcohol and provided us glasses for the wine. I especially recommend the onion pakora, pani puri, and the aloo gobi masala

Dietary restrictions: Good vegan options“

“Excellent chef and delivery service“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. The food was more than enough (we had a bunch of appetizers). The service was excellent! Definitely want to order takeaway since I didn’t have enough room for entrees.“

“very good authentic Indian dishes good Curry. friendly service.“

“Best Indian food in the Area . Support this place youll love it !“

“Best chicken biryani in NJ so far :-)“

“Very nice preparation and prompt service“

“Visited for a business dinner in November 2024 and had an excellent meal. Ordered the Biriyani with spiced chicken, a fish special, as well as a lamb special and all were outstanding. I will be bringing folks back on my return trip to NJ in March. Highly recommended!!

Dietary restrictions: Good for folks with gluten issues like myself.“
