“We finally tried out this place after wanting to go here for a while. It turns out that they serve Indian street food, all vegetarian.Since we weren't too familiar with the names of the foods and were willing to try new things, Smith (one of the staff members there) was very helpful in making recommendations, all of which we enjoyed.The establishment was very clean, well lit, spacious, and smelled savory with a mixture of spices. The staff was also very friendly, too.Overall, we had a great experience and enjoyed the food, and will come back to try the other items on the menu.“

Soft and flatter - none of the buffed up nonsense being served up everywhere else.The bhaji itself is excellent and buttery.I’m going to have dreams about this dinner!Highly recommend trying out the gulab jamun as well. It’s made fresh and served hot! Excellent food and thoroughly enjoyed.“

“The service at this restaurant was great! We visited on a weekday night and easily found a parking spot right outside. When we walked in, we were given the option to choose our own table and the staff kindly dimmed the bright lights for a more comfortable atmosphere. Although only two visible workers on duty, they were incredibly kind and patient, despite our longer waiting time for food. Here are some examples of their exceptional service:- Our waiter waited patiently while we took our time to order and even explained the menu to us since we were not familiar with Indian cuisine.- When my dad accidentally spilled water on the floor, a waiter immediately came to clean it up.- The staff checked on us regularly and provided us with clean dishes and utensils after each course/meal.(Also there was a free refill for the rice)Overall, we had a great experience at this restaurant and would definitely recommend it to others.Dietary restrictions: My sister is gluten free, soy free, dairy free (she can eat yogurt though but she can't have cow's milk), can't have beef, can't have lentils, can't really have fruit, can't have msg, and some other stuff due to an immunity gut cleanse diet thing. This restaurant was able to accommodate her dietary restrictions nicely and she was able to enjoy her meals without worry.“

“I always saw this restaurant walking or driving by and always wanted to go in For apps we got the jalapeno samosa and they were amazing. We also tried the cauliflower bites and this spinach chaat which were amazing. We also got the achari chicken as an app and with the chutneys it was probably the best thing on the menu. For main course we got a butter chicken and a paneer tikka masala and were solid options. Service was good. Everyone was attentive. Kinda small place but loved the decor and the mural on the wall.“

Jami and the other staff are always so kind to answer any questions I have about certain dishes and food items. I hope to try the lunch buffet sometime soon— there’s many delicious meals to choose from. I usually order Vegetable Samosas, Paneer Masala with Basmati Rice and Garlic Tandoori Naan.

“This has been on my list for a while, but it's so far from me, that I really haven't had the will to come up. Ordered the chicken malai frankie. I thought it was great. I did want a more variety of spices, but it was a solid meal for less than $10. The chicken was moist and creamy, and for the price of it, there was a lot. I loved the tomato based sauce. If you find yourself with another person, there's a discounted price for buying two of the same type of roti roll. A quick filling meal for anyone on the go or just needs a late night snack.“

“A Flavorful Experience at Manjal Indian RestaurantI recently dined at Manjal Indian Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the culinary delights it had to offer. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance welcomed us, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.We started our culinary journey with the Chicken Biriyani and King Fish Fry, and both dishes exceeded our expectations. The Chicken Biriyani was fragrant, with perfectly cooked rice and tender chicken, while the King Fish Fry boasted a delightful crunch and burst of flavor with every bite.The attentive service further enhanced our experience, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction.To top off our meal, we indulged in two cups of Madras coffee, which were nothing short of perfection. Rich, aromatic, and with just the right balance of sweetness, it was the perfect conclusion to our dining experience.Overall, our visit to Manjal Indian Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. With delicious food, impeccable service, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's a culinary gem that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic Indian dining experience.“

“One of the best India lunch I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend it!! Going to soon visit the place. Wow incredible chicken tikka, dal, veggie, naan, rice and rice pudding. I felt nostalgic about the food, reminded me of India Mumbai. (Regret eating the food without taking picture) :)“

“My family and I have been coming here for years. This is the BEST restaurant in the area. The host Sridhar is the best, always on point, and accommodating to my daughter’s needs. The food has always been consistently awesome and will continue to come in the future.“

“Love this place. We mostly order in and the whole family loves the food. Eating in the restaurant is even better, more authentic, experience. It's our go-to place when we don't feel like cooking at home and don't want to argue about picking a place because it's universally loved.“

“This is my first time writing a review because it is worth it. I order the Partha Muthal Paneer butter Masala and Balle Lakka Butter Chicken and it was delicious. It brought me back to goa where i try the chicken for the first time. I will recommend Zanu's Kitchen if you want to eat real indian food. I will definitely order again from here. I have to try other dishes but I am sure I won't be disappointed.“

“No offense intended. Food is excellent; however I'm not pleased with the convenience fee ($1.50) and carryout fee ($1.50)... what is up with that? So let me get this straight, you're going to charge me $1.50 to pack up an order which, by no option, is carryout because you're not a sit down restaurant? This is on top of the 3.5% credit card surcharge, and taxes. Not cool.Let's finish with the pricing of Bombay's menu. You're seriously getting outta hand with the pricing... pretty soon you'll price every dish in the mid $30 range. It's easy to drop $100 on two people for little in the quantity of food. This is why I decreased my patronage with you; but who cares about one person.Thanks“

“Mausam is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area. It is a small intimate place, which may not get a lot of attention, but the food is terrific and better than almost all of the big fancy places in Northern NJ. I'm glad it's a short drive from my office and home. If you haven't tried it and like Indian food, I strongly recommend paying a visit to Mausam Indian Curry N Bites Restaurant.“

“We had the most wonderful experience at this gem . The owner was taking the orders, but more than that he gave us the suggestions of the best dishes in the menu, so we did start with aloo papri chaat, veg samosa, lasuni gobi and chilli chicken. The main course chicken mango curry, veggies entree, rosemary naan and peshwari naan. The place is quite comfortable.“

“Ordered via UberEats on a Thursday at around 7. There was a promotion for BOGO free on certain items. So I ordered 2 chicken kadai (each comes with a rice) and 2 egg biryani, and an order of samosas. I've never tried either of the dishes but figured why not? It's BOGO and I can expand my palette on Indian food. I really liked the chicken kadai. The chicken was nice and tender, and the sauce was the perfect amount of spicy. The egg biryani was just okay - basically just seasoned rice with hard boiled egg. I probably wouldn't get this again. Samosas were pretty standard.The portions are big. We had SO much food that we had to eat this across 4 meals. Needless to say, we were pretty tired of eating it by the end. I probably wouldn't do the BOGO option again, but I would like to dine in and try some other dishes fresh.“

“The food was extremely tasty, packed a lot of juicy flavor, and an amazing ambience for families dining.Kid-friendliness: Perfect place for family dining.Wheelchair accessibility: There are wheelchair accessible seats right outside the restaurant.“

“I order Togo from here and the food is always delicious! Samosas, garlic naan, and shrimp tandoor are always my go to and it hits every time. The inside of this restaurant seems cute for a little night out in the neighborhood (I’ve just never ate in). The staff are always pleasant and the food is prepared pretty fast!“

“A personable, high quality and wonderful experience from the minute we walked in. Aditya was taking care of our table and he did a phenomenal job in taking care of all the individual requests pertaining to diet restrictions, choices and requirements. The owner took his time to come to our table and speak with us which was a genuine approach and care for their customers.Talking about food, I was shocked at the quality in a good way. While dal Bukhara is their famous dal, dal fry was not far behind either. It was well cooked and flavorful. The palak chaat is definitely a must try as well. A ton of variety to choose from. Highly recommend booking a reservation before going in because the place is packed especially on weekends.“

“You find great food in unassuming places.Bornali cafe's malai chop sweet is one of the best Bangladeshi mishti I have had in a long time. I am not a fan of overly sweet desserts. Their malai chop has the right combination of sweetness which complements milky syrup it is drenched. Imagine the most delicious chana has a love child with the rasmalai of your dream that is his I would describe the malai chop. I would visit that place again only for that. The other items that we ordered also exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend if you are in Patterson area. The owner was also very nice and accommodating. Very neat and clean restaurant which is rare in many desi establishments“

“The lunch special with butter chicken is absolutely worth your time! It’s got that fabulous curry taste but it is deliciously sweet and succulent. The perfect portioning too…and the buttery naan!! 6 slices perfectly soft AND crunchy. Mmm.“

“Absolutely amazing. I have never eaten food this fresh. They embody the true essence of Indian hospitality, making you feel like a valued guest throughout your dining experience.Sitar Palace is a hidden treasure that delights with its emphasis on freshness, flavors, and impeccable service. If you're a lover of Indian cuisine or simply looking for an extraordinary dining experience, this is the place to be. With its commitment to quality and genuine passion for Indian food, Sitar Palace is a destination that should not be missed. Prepare yourself to be whisked away on a culinary adventure where freshness takes center stage.“

“Pros1. Both chicken lollipop and chicken curry tasted great2. Not expensive at allCons1. Run by two nice folks who were also cooks. This meant that it was hard for them to balance both service and cooking efficiently2. Indoor needs an update, pronto.If you want no frills, cheap but good food (esp delivery) would recommend, but if you want to eat in keep expectations in check. Fine dining this is not“

“Their spicy chicken rap is really good it’s my favorite you should try it and they are very friendly and they make the food right in front of you I really recommend them it’s a very good place to eat and when I say the best I mean the absolute best“

“Hands down, the best Pakistani restaurant in the area. Incredible food and excellent service. Very welcoming and hospitable owner. Always a great experience, I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. Definitely try the Butter Chicken and Nihari Beef (weekends only), both amazing.“

“Went to see what they had for Ramadan menu. Incredible amount of dishes laid out on the table, all freshly made. Tandoori, kebabs, samosas, biryani, fried items, paratha, fried rice, over 40 items to pick from. I git several of them and tried them at home. Loved the goat biryani, it's actually real goat, not the lamb kind that other places sell as goat. Chicken tandoori, chicken kebab, samosa, potatoes chop, an d especially haleem, loved all those items. Really happened to see this restaurant is raising its ga me and also keeping up with the taste and quality.“

“We just had take-out from Downtown Dhaba, this is not our first visit, but we had not been in a while, most of our choices were good, Garlic naan, papadum, chicken vindaloo, tamarind chicken and aloo gobi , we did not enjoy the spicy mango pickle, very salty, inedible, whatever solid pieces in there were very hard and impossible to chew as if it was all peel, I will not order this again.I also find it's on the pricey side.“

“Lovely buffet which quality is better than most. They seem to have a rotation and I got something different each time that Ive been here. (Few times) Its in a strip mall and ambience is just acceptable but great food. The food is not too americanized, which is to say that it's not bland. My fav india joint right now“

“Delivery Order - Goat Curry, Madras Parotta, and Vegetable Cutlets were really good but the Chicken Biryani was just average. Biryani was more like rice mixed with chicken gravy. I would probably order Curries from here, definitely not the Biryani.“
