“Exceptional Catering Experience: Quality, Service, and Dedication
We recently had the pleasure of using Spice House on Rt 27 in Edison, NJ for our event catering, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. We were thoroughly impressed by the overall quality of the food and the unparalleled level of service provided.
The variety of offerings were exceptional which included both Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian options, ensuring all our guests were catered for. We also included few Indo Chinese varieties. Every dish was truly good and tasty. They did not cut corners, delivering excellent quality and quantity across the board.
The dedication to service extended to the delivery process as well. The food arrived in hot container pack, and it remained perfectly warm right up to the moment we were ready to serve, which made a huge difference to our event.
The staff's professionalism and helpfulness were top-notch. A special kudos must go to Ashish, who was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu and assisting with the selection of items and appropriate quantities.
Our sincerest hat is off to Mr. Surya for running such a wonderful restaurant and operation. We wish him and his entire team all the very best and highly recommend their catering services.“

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. 😊“

“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“

““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“

“Came here for a quick family dinner since my son attends Seton Hall. Service was kind and prompt. Food was excellent. We ordered Non Veg grill, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Keema, Butter Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala and Chole and Taka Dal. All of the items had balanced flavors, and heat levels were perfect. So many indian restaurants just make food spicy and leave it at that. Not this place. Every dish was unique in flavor even though we ordered the standard go to indian dishes.Serving sizes were ample and more than plenty for our 9 person table to share with one another. Oh and the garlic naan was soft and pliable as well. Will definitely return. Thank you!“

“I was greeted with a warm welcome and smile. I ordered paratha roti, dhalpourie roti, doubles and Trini chinese. Everything was delicious and very authentic. The owner is super friendly and welcoming!

Will definitely be back!“

“On August 30th, 2025, we enjoyed a fantastic lunch at New Shan-E-Punjab. We tried the mix non-veg platters, goat biriyani, and the non-veg thali. The food was truly delicious, with rich, authentic flavors that made every dish memorable. The goat biriyani was outstanding—aromatic rice with tender, well-cooked meat. The non-veg thali offered a delightful variety, and the mix platters were perfect for sharing. The portion sizes were excellent, making it a great value as well. Overall, a wonderful dining experience that we would definitely recommend!“

I got to take a vegan cooking class at Ruby's and it was the most amazing experience. not only was everyone at the restaurant friendly and helpful, Ruby was such an amazing and fun instructor. The recipe was amazing the food turned out great and it was experience of a lifetime. I would highly highly highly recommend her restaurant and her cooking classes to everyone I meet. Thank you again Ruby for hosting us. Scott and David Rudd“

“By yesterday, I can proudly say I have tasted food in all the restaurants on the food court. Astonishingly, I wasn't disappointed by even one. All cuisines were great and there are a lot (in Indian cuisine there are a variety of cuisines) you can try. The place itself looks a bit old and the tables can use a bit of work. I have eaten here since a few years and I assure you there is no change in the quality or the taste, I love how consistent they are. I've seen empires raise and fall but this place still keeps its place when it comes to food and service. Keep crushing it folks.“

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

“Must try Raj Gari Bhojanam and wednesday buffet“
