“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!“

“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!“

“The Bharta was amazing. We loved the ambience and everything we ordered. Chintan was great at serving and also accommodated our special requests in food. Would definitely recommend this place.“

“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.“

The owner, Ayyappan, is a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, professional, and makes the entire process so easy, from menu planning to timely delivery. His attention to detail and commitment to great service keep us coming back again and again.

Highly recommend Dosa Grill for anyone looking for authentic, mouthwatering South Indian food and a smooth, stress-free catering experience!“
