50 Best Indian Restaurants near Parlin

“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“

“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.“

“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 ??“

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

“Great food with consistent outcomes with every visit. We eat in the restaurant which is never crowded. I would like to see more people come in. Today our new favorite was the whole Pomfret fish. I didn't get a picture but did of our earlier choices. Itsxs great sharing time experience with your own favorite wine.“

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

“RS Pizza Bites is just excellent. I've tried pizza from many of the well-known pizza chains across New Jersey, but RS Pizza Bites stands out as my favorite. Their vegetarian pizzas have an authentic Indian-style taste, excellent quality, and fresh ingredients. Once you try it, you'll keep coming back for more!
The prices are reasonable, and the customer service is always friendly and attentive.
For anyone looking for delicious Indian-style vegetarian pizza, I highly recommend RS Pizza Bites. I honestly enjoy their pizzas and i love mexican pizza and paneer tikka is my favourite now.“

“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“

“Amazing tasty food“

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

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“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.“

“Good ambiance.tasty food.staff is very friendly. Would definitely recommend.“

“Good and best quality Indian Food“

“We had our son’s first birthday party last night, and we chose Punjabi Dhaba for the catering. I can honestly say they exceeded our expectations.

The food was incredible. Every single item tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. We had more than enough for everyone, and guests kept going back for seconds. So many people came up to us just to say how good the food was.

What really stood out was their service. They were organized, attentive, and made sure everything stayed stocked and running smoothly throughout the event. We had a good number of guests, and they handled it all without any issues. It gave us peace of mind so we could actually enjoy our son’s special day instead of worrying about the food.

If you’re looking for Punjabi catering that delivers both quality and professionalism, I would absolutely recommend them. They played a big part in making our event stress-free and memorable.“

“First time tried Pakvaan for catering on occasion.Food was really delicious and very good service.“

“Best, most authentic Misal Pav and Kanda Bhaji! brought back memories of me growing up in Bombay. today was the perfect day for something like this and to walk down memory lane! The muggy cloudy rainy days only mean garmagarm Kanda Bhaji Garmagarm Chai! thank You thank You thank You!“

“Very classy ambiance. Food was delicious, hot and full of flavors. Ordered Butter Chicken and garlic naan which was super delicious. Keep up the goodness, we shall definitely return with our loved ones 🍷 BYOB is a ++++, right next to Joe Canals liquor store, I think I’ve found my Indian food eatery in East Brunswick, NJ“

Our guests enjoyed the food, it was delicious. They particularly liked Veg pulao, chilli chicken and chicken tikka masala, they delivered food in a large hot box which was mighty helpful as it kept food warm till the time it was served.
Thank you Brahma and team for

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.

“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“

“Had an absolutely wonderful experience at Kathiyawadi Kitchen! From the moment the food arrived, it was clear that this place truly understands the essence of authentic Kathiyawadi cuisine. Every dish was bursting with rich, traditional flavors that instantly reminded me of home-style cooking something that’s incredibly hard to find these days.

The spices were perfectly balanced, the food was fresh, and you could really taste the care and authenticity in every bite. The rotlas, sabzis, and overall meal had that genuine Kathiyawadi touch that makes the cuisine so unique and comforting. It’s rare to come across a place that stays true to its roots without compromising on quality, but Kathiyawadi Kitchen absolutely delivers.

If you’re someone who appreciates real, traditional flavors and wants to enjoy a wholesome Kathiyawadi meal, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended I’ll definitely be coming back again all over from Canada!“

“We ordered take away from Lahore Chatkhara for the first time last night. I have to eat gluten free so I am always nervous the first time eating anywhere but I was assured they would take great care of me and they did. The food was wonderful. It was so flavorful and delicious! I did not get sick which happens an hour after eating anything with gluten. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone gluten free and of course everyone else!“

“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.“

“Very tasty but very costly.“

“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“

“I come from PA all the way to this restaurant on a weekly basis. The food is great. The customer service is great, and the employees are nice. Their food is very well-seasoned especially the goat curry. And the food is extremely cheap compared to other restaurants prices. Very worth it.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Everything 5/5. One of the best service i enjoyed here. The food was really good, fresh and unlimited, haha! Also i reached by 9:30pm and they welcomed, rather than saying we are closed, so that was a good part for me.
Ambience is decent, warm and cozy. Liked it, will be going back again.“

“Great place for good food“

““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“

“An absolutely delightful dining experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The food was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Every detail was thoughtfully curated. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable meal.“

“Obwroy gave good service amazing place ,I came here very far place ,Food is always oshhm“

“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.“

“We did a cooking class and really enjoyed it - highly recommend!“

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

“The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious! Enjoyed our family lunch at Amma's Kitchen this weekend!“

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

“I went in with my family for a Sunday buffet and I was pleasantly surprised with this place. Was greeted warmly as soon we walked in. The owner made sure, we were comfortable and was checking on us throughout the stay. The food was fresh and delicious, had good variety of options. I would deft be back in the future. Two thumbs up!“
