“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 !

“Wonderful food and truly heartfelt customer care!

We’ve been visiting Dosa Grill for years, and their food always satisfies our craving for comforting South Indian soul food. But today, it was their kindness that left the biggest impression.

The staff surprised an elderly couple, longtime customers celebrating their 57th wedding anniversary, with a cake and balloons. The couple, who were dining by themselves, were overwhelmed and kept saying that no one had ever acknowledged and surprised them quite like this in their entire lives.

It was so heartwarming to witness such a thoughtful gesture. Moments like these remind us that behind a restaurant are people with truly good hearts. One more reason to keep coming back to Dosa Grill!“

“One of the best places for authentic Gujarati food! This is honestly one of the only restaurants where I’ve felt the food has that real Indian, home-style Gujarati taste. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic. The staff is also very welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel at home. Definitely my go-to place whenever I’m craving proper Gujarati food. Highly recommend! ❤🇮🇳“

“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.“

“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.“

“My 1st time visiting tulsi. A new gem in east brunswick. The atmosphere is terrific inside the restaurant. Warm, inviting and authentic to the Indian culture. The food choices are awesome. Great portions and very flavorful. Only negative was with amount of rice offered. Two small containers. I had inquired if basmati rice was included. If had had known the portion was going to be that small I was going to order more rice. Other indian restaurants Ive gone too weren't stingy. Overall, fantastic place. Great flavors. This will be my new destination to enjoy Great Indian food“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I honestly felt bad seeing Sumu’s Kitchen so empty when we walked in, because the food turned out to be absolutely amazing. This is genuinely one of those hidden gems that deserves a lot more attention.

What impressed me the most was how fresh everything was. Nothing tasted like it came out of a freezer or had been sitting around for hours. Everything we ordered was freshly made to order, and you could really taste the difference.

We tried the bondas, onion pakoda, dosa, Hakka noodles, mirchi bajji, and gobi Manchurian, and every single dish was delicious. The bondas and pakodas were hot, fresh, and crispy, the dosa was excellent, and the Hakka noodles and gobi Manchurian were especially good. And the coffee was sooo good — definitely don’t skip it!

Another big shout-out to Ganesh, the manager. He handled everything so well and was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The way he took care of the customers and managed the orders, you would honestly think he was the owner. That kind of personal attention made the experience even better.

If you’re visiting BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham, this place is a gem right outside and absolutely worth stopping by. Especially if you’re vegetarian and looking for fresh, flavorful Indian food, please give Sumu’s Kitchen a try. Places serving food this fresh deserve to be busy!“

“food is super fresh and absolutely delicious. 5/5 stars“

“Great food great service highly recommend“

“Service was excellent, really enjoyed the food.“

“Extra ordinary. We had some special kind of Gher Idly with spicy masala on that. It was delicious. We were here at 10 am on Sunday on a day with heavy rains & flooding & expected empty resaurant. To our pleasant surprise, the place was full. That explains how popular this place is.“

“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!“

“I recently visited this restaurant and had a great experience. The atmosphere was cozy, clean, and very welcoming. The staff was polite and attentive without being overbearing. and it was cooked perfectly—flavorful, moist, and beautifully presented. Prices were reasonable for the quality, and portions were generous. I’d definitely come back again and recommend it to friends looking for a relaxed“

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

“Had a wonderful dining experience at Thanjai Mess – Authentic South Indian Restaurant. The food was flavorful, fresh, and truly captured the taste of traditional South Indian cuisine.

We tried the Kola Urundai, which was absolutely authentic and delicious. The Mutton Thalappakatti Biryani and Ambur Chicken Biryani were both flavorful and perfectly cooked. The Chicken Lollipop was juicy, saucy, and packed with flavor. We also ordered the Vanjaram (King Fish) Fry, which was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and very tasty.

A special mention to the service from Mr Reddy, which was really good and made the overall experience even more pleasant.

Everything we ordered was delicious, and the authentic flavors really stood out. Definitely a great place for anyone who loves South Indian non-vegetarian food. Highly recommended! 👌🔥“

“There are moments in life you'll remember forever, and thanks to Ember, the baby shower for our baby girl will always be one of them. Dushyant and entire team, from the moment we started planning, made us feel welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail came together perfectly, allowing my wife and me to simply enjoy celebrating this incredible milestone with the people we love.
**One of the things that meant the most to us was how effortlessly Ember helped bring together two different cultures. My wife comes from a Gujarati family with vegetarian dietary traditions, while my family and many of our friends are definitely meat eaters. Finding a venue that could accommodate everyone so thoughtfully wasn't easy, but Ember made it seamless. They were also incredibly accommodating with all of our vendorsfrom our DJ and decorator to the soft play area for the kids which made the entire day feel stress free.
What truly sets Ember apart is its people. Every member of the staff treated our family as though our celebration genuinely mattered to them. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail transformed what could have been just another event into a memory we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. To everyone at Ember, thank you for helping us celebrate the upcoming arrival of our first child in such a meaningful way. We will always be grateful.“

“I must appreciate the consistently good food here. I have been here multiple times since the new ownership and everytime, the food is consistently great. Their Biryani, Appetizers everything tasted so good. Please keep up the great taste. Will keep coming back.“

“We recently got catering from Mauli for our Ganesh Puja celebrations and the food was awesome! We ordered Kothambir Wadi, Misal and Masale Bhat, and everything was delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful and had that authentic Maharashtrian taste that is sometimes hard to find. Our guests really enjoyed it and several people asked us where we had ordered the food from. We’ve also been to the restaurant and have tried their Vada Pav and Zhunka Bhakar, Pav Bhaji and they were really good too.

It’s so nice to have a good Maharashtrian restaurant nearby where we can get authentic food and enjoy some of the dishes we grew up eating. Thank you, Mauli, for the great food and for making our celebration even more special. We’ll definitely be ordering again! Highly recommend if you are missing the authentic Maharashtrian food!“

“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.“

“we came in to celebrate a friends birthday. The staff overheard our conversation and brought out our dessert on a "Birthday board" with cute decorations. it made the day special. I had a wonderful time here“

“I ate here a few years ago - don't recall my whole meal but i remember it was good - love mint chuntey. The manager / staff was friendly. The space is small but organized and clean. Recently i ordered through uber eats - they had a buy one get one free promo on the chicken tikka. I also got a few orders of garlic naan. The chicken tikka with rice was good - moist chicken, good flavor and not too spicy. However the garlic naan was disappointing - it was a tad bit salty but mostly the bread was flat and dense - it should be a little more fluffy with a nice chew. Hope they read this and improve it - would give it another try.“

“Menu Taste Service Ambiance Nice Gesture Love ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very nice food, in Sayreville Highly recommend for catering“

“I got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. The gentleman that was at the counter when I walked in was very pleasant and accommodating. The chicken was good, I would say 7.5/10, and the garlic naan was out of this world, 10/10. I will be returning“

“so far the best Indian food in Freehold/ Marlboro area, always a good experience whenever we go.“

“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.“
