“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.

Vegetarian options: All veg menu“

“It’s one of the hidden secrets of this town . Quality homemade Indian food for folks who just want the authentic experience of Gujrati cuisine. Would also recommend their Dosas. It’s freshly made and the masala is delicious!!!!!

Ask for their Gujrati menu for one of the best potato curries I had in NJ !!!“

“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.“

“better than last always great place to chilling“

“Authentic and delicious food for Indian food lovers. Great service and very humble staff. Very competitive prices as compared to other Indian restaurants with better service and food. We enjoyed it a lot.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This was an accidental find! Stopped by for a quick idly vada sambar and was blown away by how authentic the samar was (not like the watered down and tasteless version at most south Indianrestaurants). The idly were fresh and soft, and the vada was nice and crisp....just how it should be!
Unbeknownst to me, the place closes at 2:30pm for lunch, and that's when I got there. The very kind hostess still accommodated me and went out of her way to bring me an extra idly and sambar.
The prices on the menu are very reasonable as well.
It's a no frills, simple sit down restaurant and absolutely clean.
I highly recommend this place and will surely be a repeat customer!“

“Awesome food for those who prefer a proper South Indian (tamil nadu)biryani and dishes. The pichipota natu kozhi fry was particularly good. We tried the thalapakattu mutton Biryani and Chennai style biryani was also impressive..the masala they use for the dishes is authentic…“

“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.“

“I recently visited this restaurant for lunch, and it was an excellent experience overall. The presentation of the food was impressive, and the taste was just as good, with the mutton biriyani , pompano fish, and lassi (literally best in the US in my opinion) being particularly noteworthy. The atmosphere was cozy, blending Indian and Bangladeshi cultural touches in a clean and comfortable space. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, providing 10/10 service with promptness and care. The food was reasonably priced, with generous portions, making it great value for the quality. Highly recommend this spot for anyone seeking delicious food!“

“We had visited Chopstick III several times over the years, and loved the consistency in delivering authetic Indo-Chinese flavors. Last week, we had them cater to an important milestone in our family and all the guests loved the food. Thank you for your helpful suggestions and looking forward for our next visit.“

“First time I visited this place with family for dinner, had a very good experience.
The food was so authentic and the staff were very friendly. Especially the goat curry was so tender and tasty. The owner was very accommodative and attentive for everything.
I would highly recommend and for sure will visit again.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We went for a weekend lunch buffet.. though the buffet price was a bit on the higher side, I feel like they have been able to consistently maintain the buffet quality over time. We have been coming here every once in a while for many years now. Most items were tasty and our parents also liked it. Only thing we miss over the years is the freshly fried crispy Mathi/Kozhuva fry in the buffet. This is easily the best Mallu buffet in the North Jersey area.“

“This restaurant is a must-visit for its flavorful veg biryani and perfectly grilled paneer tikka. Highly recommended, the chef's expertise shines through, and the attentive waitstaff enhance the experience. Authentic Indian cuisine at its best!“

“Great service and great food! loved the variety of dishes...something for everyone!“

“It’s been a while since I’ve been here. The food was more than enough (we had a bunch of appetizers). The service was excellent! Definitely want to order takeaway since I didn’t have enough room for entrees.“

“Good food and service. The buffet was just right. At other places, there are too many choices, and I get full before finding something I like. But here, the selection was perfect. They had enough good food without being overwhelming, so I could try everything. This was the best buffet I've ever had. Great experience.“

“Very nice preparation and prompt service“
