“The food was amazing! They give perfect quantities for a perfect price! We ordered a ghee roast dosa, masala dosa, veg biriyani, and gobi manchurian. The dosas were large, and the biriyani quantity was perfect for around 2 people. Our favorite dish was definitely the Gobi Manchurian. It was sweet and spicy! The ambience was very good and there were colorful lights! Would definitely recommend this place!“

We appreciate how welcoming they are; it's definitely kid-friendly, which makes dinner so much easier. Highly recommend checking it out“

“Amazing food and very kind staff! Absolutely we recommend Divine Curry!“

“I had such a wonderful experience here! The Tawa Pulav was absolutely delicious , full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Veg Grill Sandwich was another standout, fresh and tasty with just the right amount of spice. Prices were super reasonable, especially for the quality and portions. On top of that, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to again and again!“

“Service was excellent, really enjoyed the food.“

“Nice and cozy place with a welcoming, homey vibe. Staff and waitress were super friendly and cheerful. Tables could’ve been a bit cleaner, but overall a good atmosphere. We tried the Peri Peri Vada Pav — vadas were great, but the pav and chutney could be better. Bhel was fresh and tasty. We even ordered Chinese Bhel, which had nice bits of Manchurian and paneer — the Manchurian pieces were a bit stiff, but overall it tasted good. We ordered Chole Kulcha but got Chole Naan instead, which was unexpected. Food overall is better than the competition, and definitely a place worth visiting!“

“Highly recommend! Great food, especially for Swaminarayan vegetarians. We went on Christmas Day with a large group and they were very accommodating with quick service. The meal was delicious. We enjoyed the chhole bhatura, Rose lassi, Gujarati thaali, methi gota, spring rolls, veg hakka noodles, and Manchurian. We will definitely be returning!“

Every dish was packed with flavor, the portions were incredibly generous, and the service was warm and attentive from start to finish.

“Thanjai Mess in New Jersey is a real gem if you’re into authentic South Indian food. The place keeps things simple — no fancy setup, just delicious, homestyle meals that taste straight out of Tamil Nadu. The food is fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The dosas are crisp and golden, the idlis are soft and fluffy, and the sambar hits that perfect tangy note. It feels like you’re eating in someone’s home kitchen rather than a restaurant.

Portions are generous and prices are really fair for the quality you get. The thali meals are a must-try — great variety, with enough spice and comfort to keep you coming back. Service is friendly and quick, and even when it’s busy, the staff handle everything with a smile. Parking is easy and the vibe stays casual, which makes it great for both quick lunch stops and weekend family meals. Thanjai Mess is easily one of my favorite spots for a true South Indian fix in NJ.“

“Excellent Catering and Dining Experience

We recently catered food from Dosa Grill for an annual event with 500 guests, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The food was delicious, delivered in hot boxes, and arrived right on time. Many attendees personally told us how much they enjoyed the food, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The food quantity was enough, and everyone we talked to were courteous and pleasant to work with, including people who delivered.

I’ve also visited the restaurant many times for lunch, dinner, and their Dosa nights over the years, and the food has always been consistently flavorful and high quality. This was our first time large-scale catering, and they exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Dosa Grill for both dining in and event catering.“

“Very awesome food… great service and a huge portion 😋 🔥🔥🔥 💯 pure satisfaction 👌“

“Great food, welcome to Montgomery!“

“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.“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“
