“Had a great time, Ritik provided great service, he was professional and was quite helpful in figuring out everything for us! The food was overall really good, I would recommend asking for some chutney with the paneer bullet to make the best of it. The paneer tikka masala and dum aloo were my favorites and desert was a nice finish. I will definitely be returning another time!“

“I live about 40 minutes south in Lawrenceville, and the food at Chatpati is worth the drive up.

Easily the best Indian cuisine I’ve had in Jersey despite the humble ambiance. Think fast casual, but with a culinary team that has deep respect, and love, for the food they create.

Every dish was executed well. Big flavors, contrasting textures, gracious staff. Will return often.“

“One of best street food I ever had. Owner was very friendly and nice too us. I asked the owner what dish is popular and well known and he said bhakri pizza and indo Chinese. So we got bhakri pizza, Dahi Puri, peri peri fries and chilli paneer. Everything was fantastic and my personal favorite was the peri peri fries. We ended our meal with milkshake and it was so yummy. The owner was very nice to us and he made sure we were doin great. I highly recommend this place if u are missing choice in India.

“This is a small but quick-service place. I visited on a Wednesday and had the Rava Masala, which was amazing! It had the perfect combination of a crispy outer layer and soft onions inside. I absolutely loved both chutneys. The sambar was decent, but the Pongal and Tamarind were very authentic and flavorful. Highly recommend it!

“This is it. The best Indian restaurant . I have lived in Bridgewater for over 15 yrs and have had buffet, dinner here and have never had a bad experience. The food is of a high standard, always fresh, and tasty. The food is well priced. Thank you.“

“I recently dined at Miniidli, and the food was truly out of this world! The sambar tasted just like my grandma used to make – rich, flavorful, and absolutely comforting. Every dish was delicious, and I highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic, home-style flavors. Definitely a must-visit!“

“I get lunch here religiously — The food is that good. Anytime someone says they’ve never had great Indian food, I immediately think: They’d FLIP if they tried Kurry & Naan

Everything is so fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with love. I always get fresh veggies on the side, which is such a nice touch :’) My go-to dishes are the palak paneer, paneer tikka masala, daal makhni, & yellow daal — & Honestly, it’s hard to pick a favorite. Their saag paneer might be the best I’ve ever had

I’m so grateful I stumbled on this place — Now it’s a favorite for my friends, family, & coworkers too :) If there’s one spot to check out while you’re here, it’s 1000% this one“

Thank you Sheelachechi for making it happen even though my request was completely last minute….thank you Sreekumar and the entire Aroma restaurant team, you guys were awesome. Thank you 🙏🏻“

“We had a wonderful experience with Nirvanis Kitchen.
We have celebrated Diwali at our Parker Adult day center @ Somerset. We ordered our lunch from Nirvanis. Food was excellent.
I was little skeptical about Indian food as some of our participants trying Indian food first time and how spicy it will be it will be for them. I spoke with Niraj couple times. He was very diligent and took good care of our order. All foods were fresh hot and testy, not spicy at all and the amount of food was plenty.
I will definitely order again and recommend others to order food from them. Our team was 100% satisfied.“

“This restaurant has probably gone through multiple changes of ownership/chef with the food quality going up and down with each iteration. I must say that with the current establishment the food quality is outstanding! It is probably the best it has ever been. They don’t skimp on rice either, providing a container of rice with each entree ordered. The only complaint might be that the entrees that used smoked vegetables might have been a little too smoky, but still delicious. Try the food now before it changes again.“

“Visited this amazing spot close to home, thanks to my brother's recommendation for their Wednesday Dosa buffet! The buffet runs from 5:45 PM to 9:30 PM, and we arrived around 8:30. We kicked off with idly, wada, and a variety of chutneys and sambhar. Then came naan with paneer butter masala, uthapam, and samosas, which were all fantastic. They also offered two types of rice, rasam, chaat, and desserts like mango lassi, gulab jamun, and ice cream.

For dosa, you place an order separately—we tried the butter Mysore masala dosa, paneer masala dosa, and Madurai masala dosa, all of which were delicious. The buffet is priced at around $22 per person, and it's totally worth it. While the variety of items isn't vast, the quality more than makes up for it. The dining space was comfortable, and the service was very professional. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy some great vegetarian food, especially vegetarians! They also have a regular veg menu on other days. Sharing a few pictures I captured from this visit!“

“I visited on Sunday with my Dad. We were very happy to see they had a lunch buffet option advertised in the window for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As we were the first people here, Dad took a video of the wonderful display they had laid out for the buffet. The food looked great and tasted just as good. This place is great. I definitely will be coming back.“
