I travel a lot, and needed something simple and tasty. I'm spending more time in Newark and needed something better than the usual. I found this place on google maps.Ordered sambar idly with chaya, and was very happy. Fresh, hot, tasty. Chamandi used real coconut and was authentic. I've now visited 3X and the taste is consistent and good. Much better than KSRTC bus stop sambar idly :-)Most of the business is take-out, so not many people actually sit down, so the ambience is tuned for that. The staff made sure the table was super clean; service was simple and honest. This is my go-to place now when in Newark.

First when I enter I was wondered how they can run this business profitable with very very less customers but after they serve the food I realized that they can run the business profitable this way.two small idly with a tiny vada 12 dollars filter coffee 5 dollars kothuporotta 18 dollars. If the food quality and quantity are good and enough then definitely i will not comment about the price.zero recommendation because of the poor food quality and quantity .i don't understand the magic how they are keeping 4.1 star rating maybe all are fake.100% way better try , I am recommending CUMIN eat restaurant

Mediocre. The menu lacks focus. Food has a sloppy warmed up leftovers quality. Don't eat at restaurants that serve too many things.

This is one of the best indian restaurants out here in New Jersey. The food is incredible and the price is unbelievably great. You will also love the customer service here. Simbu served us today and he was great.
Can't speak to the ambiance but the food is consistently great. The naan is perfect and pillowy. Basmati rice is perfectly made. Their saag paneer, butter masala paneer and mutter paneer are delicious and filling. Samosas are well made. I order delivery and service is always fast and timely.

Very awful ! Bad experience! Everything single item was frozen. A lot of unnecessary oil and was stale. Please guys eat at local food truck instead wasting money on this. Ordered 5-6 items , same review for every single of them! I literally garbaged them!
This place is a RIP OFF!!! If you’re looking to eat an entire pot of seasoned rice with half a chicken breast chopped in cubes order the Bryani. Oh and $56 for a lunch meal . Horrible experience!!!!

I dont think 5 stars suffices just how amazing this food is I ordered through Door Dash Pickup and decided for the first time to give them a try after walking by so many times on a work night got off and I got the Chicken Vindaloo Garlic Naan and Rice Ive had Chiken Vindaloo that was scolding hot you couldn't really enjoy it and I love spicy food but from here!? AMAZING perfect spice level and tang freshly made I arrived the moment I ordered it via App complete wait time was 20-30 mins you can hear the chef cooking it up blending the spices and peppers taking his/her time freshly making everything from scratch I can tell and I love this place for that some places have pre made sauces which is okay too but who doesnt like a freshly made sauce and ingredients including the Naan with REAL GARLIC I was greeted with respect kindness the entire place is quiet clean spotless open you cant smell anything being cooked to me was surprising coming in which is definitely a plus for me because you dont want to smell like Curry or Spices after you leave I would rate this place 10/10 price to quantity is 1:1 I plan to buy pretty often now
