50 Best Indian Restaurants near Parlin

“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.“

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

“Today was my first visit to this location, and I prefer it over the Metuchen location. The Sayreville restaurant is absolutely immaculate, nicely decorated, and the bathrooms are spotless; everything is clean and modern. The food is as I expected: fantastic! I had the bhel puri and the hariyali noodle with shredded paneer. Both dishes were fresh and bursting with flavor! The rose lassi complemented the spices of the food, and the paan shot delicious! There is paan available at the counter, and five varieties of mukhwas at the exit. It was a great experience, and everyone was very nice.“

“Everything is so perfect. Can not think of any better vegetarian!!“

“Highly recommend!! Food, service and ambiance was amazing!!! Our servers were the best, shout out to Zeel & Pratik! We had the best butter chicken & chicken 65. Their kathi rolls was so good too. Zeel & Pratik recommended mango plaza for dessert, it was delicious! Will be coming back for more delicious food ??“

“Cute and quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food is absolutely delicious! Chicken vindaloo and chicken Tikka masala. Also some spicy chili garlic Naan, butter Naan and roti. Flavorful and good portion sizes. They could stand to give a little more rice with the entree, but that doesn't take away from the quality and enjoyment of the dishes. Can't wait to return to try other menu options.“

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

“The host Ranjitha and team deccan spice were excellent. Would recommend to everybody😊“

“Found this place accidentally while we were in the area. Food is very fresh and tasty. Excellent personal service. We loved. all the items we ate. Special call out for the French Fries, it tasted very fresh without the taste of oil in the mouth. The Paneer tikka pizza was very good and non-greasy.

Vegetarian options: Options without onion and garlic available.“

“Nagpuri Sahuji in Iselin, NJ, is a gem, renowned for its masterful saffron-infused Old Fashioned, an exquisite rarity. Their Puran Poli is exceptional, boasting a homemade taste with a generous filling and a thin, non-greasy cover. Not only is it authentically Sahuji, but it's also a haven for delicious food. Owners Neeraj and Swapna add a personal touch with their warm, down-to-earth hospitality. The ambiance and service are nothing short of five-star. A must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience“

Everything was fresh and very flavorful definitely coming back here when I’m in the area.“

“I have had food at this place quite a few times, being a vegetarian I didn't enjoy the veg.biryani/paneer much until yesterday. The gongura paneer biryani I had recently was one of the best vegetarian biryani I had in the US. I was really happy with the food. Id love to reorder this dish hoping it taste the same.😊“

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

My kids love tandoori chicken and Naan. They have super delicious smoothies. They have a Pan place and a mini sweets shop. Whenever we go to New Jersey, we make sure to come here. Definitely recommend.“

“Simple review we went there service was very fast the server/manager/busboy was nice. Here is about food we got Paneerchili/chili garlic noodles taste more than authentic
I tried oak tree lot of place we are usually very picky about indo Chinese but this is one HIT A SPOT . Also Did Mutton Roganjosh to go was excellent tendered Fall off the bone 🍖. Will definitely will Go back“

“What a New Jersey!!!! This food is worthy of the most expensive Indian establishments. The owners, Shazad and Raza, are so hospitable and you can tell they create dishes from the heart.

Shazad prepared a special mix grill of their five types of chicken: malai not, seekh kebab, tandoori chicken, and tikka— each one seasoned distinctly. You could tell that the masalas and seasonings were made fresh and the chicken was of the highest quality.

Their mango lassi is made fresh with Alphonso mangoes.

Their cheese and garlic naan were the best of compliments for the grill. The garlic naan was light with the right amount of garlic and the cheese naan was so comforting with its cheesiness.

As a Californian who has her pick of amazing, inventive Indian cuisine, this New Jersey gem has stolen my heart!

I hope you enjoy their food and the warmth of their establishment as well!

Vegetarian options: There are 10 vegetarian choices— so there is plenty to choose from!

Kid-friendliness: The place is a family atmosphere with lots of comfortable booth seating.“

“I have been going to Moghul for over 15 years and they never disappoint. The service is wonderful and the food is full of flavor. Always a great experience with staff and fresh“

“We were out with friends in this area and found this place. There was a great variety of food and the taste was absolutely amazing! I think we found a hidden gem in Edison. Mr Abbas was very welcoming and kind. All five stars!! We surely will go again.“

“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.“

“Loved the soya chaap gravy, lucky to be the initial ones to taste. Do ask for it, it is yet to be on the menu.
My family members had hum-tum, malai tikka and mughlai pulav, they all were super tasty, India wala swaad aa gaya... 😋
Thank you Chef Rajveer for bringing such tasty food to the town. 😊“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Pleasantly came across this pure veg bistro through the insta feed with raving reviews. We tried Spicy Chipotle burger, Aloo burger for kids, Pesto Panini and Pesto Pizza. Lets just say, each morsel was a burst of flavor. For the dessert, we tried warm walnut brownie. We also met the owner who was very sweet and spent some time with us and also made sure that everything we ordered was perfect!!!
Cherry on the top was Swaminarayan menu with many many options. For the Momo's lovers, do visit them by the end of dec, they plan to introduce them in their menus.
Must visit place.“

“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!“

“Food taste and quality are good. Amritsari kulcha platter must try. Staff and service was nice!!“

“Very tasty but very costly.“

“Chowpatty recently catered my wedding and their food and service was phenomenal! Not only did they create mouthwatering dishes, but they took into consideration of the type of food we were looking to serve our guests. They provided constructive feedback and went above and beyond to give us tasteful ideas that we hadn’t even thought of. The team expressed enthusiasm to give us the best experience we could ask for during one of the most important weekends of our lives. Chowpatty never treated our wedding as a job, but an event they were proud to serve. They continue to strive for the best and push beyond their limits to give everyone a truly, unforgettable experience. Thank you Chowpatty for giving our families and friends a weekend they are still reminiscing about! Purvi & Shiven“

“Excellent food , the taste stays the same everytime when I go , every year I go, when ever I go , usually we get off metropark and we dine in and sometimes we do a take out also..

Hatts off to the owner and Cheff and their team.

No complaints at all, i am been going to this place since last over 4 years in row now..
(Bullete Naan , Panner Bhurji , Methi Malaie Mutter , vegetable pakora and chilli panner )🥰 😋😋“

“Rude owner and worse customer service! When we are with big group there is food quality change. Not giving onion or chutney. Poor service.“

“Great place for good food“

“Dining at chandni chowk was a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, complemented by attentive service. Each dish showcased fresh ingredients and exquisite flavors. I highly recommend this establishment for a memorable meal.”“

““I recently catered from Persis Biryani (Piscataway)for a special event, and I am beyond impressed! From the moment I contacted them Prasad, Ashok and Shekar, their team was professional, responsive, and attentive to my needs. The menu options were diverse and customizable, and they helped me create the perfect spread for our guests. On the day of the event, the food was not only beautifully presented but also absolutely delicious. Every dish was bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the food was! I highly recommend Persis Biryani (Piscataway) for any event — they truly went above and beyond to make our occasion memorable. I have catered with them for several occasions and will definitely be using their services again for future events! Thanks Persis !!! Randall“

“Must try Raj Gari Bhojanam and wednesday buffet“

“Food and service was awesome. Staff was very friendly. I went there for breakfast ordered dosa and coffee. Dosas were very good. Chutneys and sambar were very tasty.“

“It's under construction now but the staff is very friendly. Beds are great and we slept well. Breakfast is a bit simple. I loved the historical bell in the elevator. One can imagine that the Crowne Plaza will.look great after finishing.“

“Went there for lunch, they only serve Gujarati Thali. Choice of any 3 of the 4 curries of the day, Gujarati daal, along with 4 chapatis, bowl of rice and papad.The curries were pretty decent except for the one we were really looking forward to - Undhiyo. This could have been better.The chapatis were phenomenal! Thin and perfectly cooked.However, very attentive folks, came over and inquired a couple of times.The place has lost its shine since my last visit but I attribute that to the pandemic. The ambiance is not very inviting but go there for the food anyways.“
