“My wife and son took me to this restaurant for dinner on my birthday. IT WAS AMAZING!! Cozy and warm are how you feel when you enter. Sonny the owner and restaurant’s namesake was professional, kind, funny, and super thoughtful- he went next door to get me a waffle and ice cream dessert and put a candle for my special day.We ordered the Samosa Sampler and right away you can taste the difference and the quality.For our main course we had white rice, Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, Railway Curry Goat, and Aloo Chick pea spinach. Also tried the plain naan, garlic naan (my personal favorite) and garlic cheese naan.Highly recommend this place for great vibe and excellent Indian food!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Vegetarian options available“
“I arrived after 10:15 p.m., but they were still open, and the food was excellent—perfectly prepared kadai chicken and roti blended really well together. The staff was also very kind and sensitive to our needs, making us feel quite welcome even though it was closing time. Regards Thanks especially to HARISH “
“Went as a last minute decision. I was so happy that we did. We started with the vegetable sampler platter. Our main courses were chicken vindaloo and mango curry chicken. The food and service were both exceptional. I would highly recommend the restaurant. Will definitely come back and bring the kids.“
“We had a great time eating. Food was delicious. Every dish is a delight. Ambience is welcoming. The hostess Priya was friendly and accomplished in many ways. Spoke many languages as an added bonus. I will go there again. The other gentleman was knowledgeable and accommodating. It was a truly great pleasure being served at Vasanth Bhavan.Vegetarian options: Curry rices were nice“
“Went for lunch to try this place as they do specialize in marathi food.Sevice was fast and really good and fast. We did have a chance to talk to the owners as well and they are very friendly people. The interiors are also really good.Chaas- 5/5( loved it )Vada pav-4/5( felt like the vada was refried but taste was good)Rava fried prawns- 4/5( prawns felts a little undercooked for my taste)Tandoori promfret - 5/5( fish was juicy and good)Jeera rice-5/5Garlic rice-5/5Dal kanda- 3/5(was spicy for me and as well the garam masala taste was overpowering)Chicken xacuti- 4/5( chicken felt little undercooked otherwise was close to a xacuti curry)“
“Great place for fine Indian cousine. Cocktails are amazing. Food is delicious. Rodrigo, Dennis, Victor, and our favorite Govind provides excellent customer service. We love coming here for private events, family dinners and couples night out.“
“Honestly didn't know what to expect before arriving since I'm not too familiar with Indian food in general and it was just a random spot we chose to eat before flying back home.We ended up getting the lamb chop, goat curry and chicken tikka masala and I was really impressed with the food. My favorite was the goat curry actually. The flavor is reminiscing of a goat dish my family would make sometime as well which was a pleasant surprised.It was strange though to see the place basically empty on a Friday lunch even though it's already a small restaurant but I would definitely recommend this place and I'd come back again if I get the chance.“
“We love this woman owned, Pakistani /Indian restaurant that recently opened. Food is typical street food. Kathi rolls, chaat. Yumm! Clientele is diverse, service is excellent. We love that you will see the owner herself there all the time. That makes a huge difference. Can’t wait to go again!“
“This place is AMAZING!! we were 11 people and they accommodated us no problem even though the place can probably fit 16-18 people max.The food is far and beyond. After living in India, it was hard to find a place until we came here. If I could, I would give it a thousand starts. We are definitely coming back.The service is great. She is very nice and helpful with recommendations. All said with a very sweet smile and the most welcoming feeling.Vegetarian options: There’s plenty of really good vegetarian choices. The chap is a must if you never had it.“
“HEY - NOW THEY OFFER LUNCH-BUFFET! We were pleasantly surprised when we found that they offer lunch buffets on Wed and Thu, and unlike some other buffet places their buffet food does not taste anything like mass produced. Great spread also! And because we were a big group who had made advanced reservations, they even catered to our dietary restrictions and preferences. Everything about this place is amazing, the food quality, the service (very courteous staff) and the ambience! I highly recommend trying their buffet that definitely is Mahrashtrian/Konkani/Malvani. delicious ‘खेकडा’ भजी, fried सुरमई …list goes on and on. Good for big group (we were 21 of us) for sure as we had a great time.“

“Its a hidden gem on busy oak tree road, the ambience of this place tells it all, this is the most exotic party place in New Jersey, we did my daughter's sweet sixteen here, the food, service, cleanliness, staff, ambience, everything was beyond expectations, I would recommend 100%, Raj is the best.“
“So the food was okay. Not amazing as I had hoped. We drove over 30min to come here to try a new Indian place. I left not impressed. Service was mediocre at best. Not very attentive service.I had goan Salmon curry. It was ok. The vegetable biryani lacked flavor and richness. My daughter ordered the veggie korma, and asked for no dried fruit. It was served with the dried fruit. At the very least, they should have said something so that she could have ordered something else. The tandoori mix was good. Naan was good. And the papri chaat, although good, definitely not great with flavor, plus the appetizer was a really small portion.Also to note, there are NO windows inside the restaurant.Parking: There was no indication about parking however when I called to ask, at that point they told me I could park at the hotel and that they can validate the ticket.“
“We love Indian food & ordered from Clove Garden to give a new local business a try. Not only was the order perfect, but the food was excellent. They even added a desert for us to try, which was also really good. Happy to have you in Garwood!“
“This was our first time trying PAK and we were very impressed. The chicken and rice was delicious and an extremely generous portion. Samosas were crispy and flavorful. If you love halal food, this is a great spot without having to travel to the city! We will definitely be back!“

“Tried out this place recently and the food there was delicious.aloo paratha here is just amazing super flavorful amristsari kulcha We also ordered their item daal makhni and mix vegetables it was the best decision because every bite felt scrumptious.Definitely worth visiting!“
“Begum Palace is a hidden gem that never fails to impress. The food is always fresh and flavorful, and the service is top-notch. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend the chicken biryani and the palak paneer. You won't be disappointed!“
“I’d give 10 starts if I could. This is the best hole in the wall type of restaurant. Quick service, affordable price, and THE BEST food in Edison! I moved out of NJ, but every time I’m in NJ, I eat here over any other fancy restaurants. Highly recommend this place!“
“For tasty food, this is the place. We had spring rolls, haka noodles, corn soup. All dishes were freshly prepared and delicious. The chef adjusts spice level to your palate. Visit and enjoy a great dining experience.Vegetarian options: A wide selection of Northern and Southern dishesDietary restrictions: Our food was prepared with very little oil, no cream and spice level to our liking“
“Great place for Desi food. You get your order pretty quickly and everything tastes great. The selection of mithai (sweets) is also quite expansive and they are amazing, especially the Goolab Jaman. Get it with some chai, it hits the spot. I do think they could improve the interior of the restaurant though as I felt the lighting was a bit raggedy/dull and the floors looked dirty and needed some cleaning.“
“Nice place, conveniently located by the Short Hills Station. Highly recommend coming here before 2 and checking out their lunch boxes - generous portions, not too expensive, and of course delicious.Also love their Malai Chicken Kebabs and Samosa Chaat.“
“Our very first time visiting Mughal. Valentine was great! He was extremely attentive to us and we enjoyed our family dinner. The food was great but most importantly Valentine made our day special by taking care of all the details. All in all wonderful experience.“
“If you love Indian street food, this is the place to be. It has various sub- shops serving dosas, manchurian, gol gappas, jalebis, paranthas, moms and meetha paan at a resonable price. I am happy that I do not live there, otherwise I would be visiting it on a daily basis.“
“Really great restaurant with an awesome variety of 100% Vegetarian Thalis. I highly recommend their Kesar Special Thali along with their Papdi Chaat Thali! They let you share plates and honestly 1 thali with saabzis would suffice 2 people, you may just have to order another separate Naan. Their special saabzi of the day was amazing, the rest of the saabzis varied from 'generic to alright'. Surprisingly, their ambiance is very upscale for a restaurant that is known for their Thalis. Highly recommend bringing the whole family and the service was super quick!“
“Visited this place in Jan 2024 on a Sat evening, was very shocked at the decline in food quality,- Had visited restaurant in Dec 2023 - and food was excellent!Not sure why quality of cooking declined so fast -- it had consistently been one of the best Indian restaurants in the area for year, in the past.“
“If you're yearning for authentic Kerala/Malabar cuisine, this place is a must-visit. We indulged in their buffet, which boasted a scrumptious spread of 57 items, showcasing the essence of Kerala cuisine. From chicken, duck, and goat to mussels, fish, and eggs, the non-vegetarian options were plentiful, while the vegetarian dishes were equally extravagant. Although priced at $25, the buffet's quality, variety, and flavors make it worth every penny. However, be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends, as this cozy space fills up quickly. Reservations aren't accepted, and seating operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, they ask patrons to wrap up their meal within 40 minutes to accommodate waiting guests.“
“over all a good experience. non veg food - octopus, mutton was just superb. veg options were ok - bland for out taste. The service was awesome. Also this is a BYOB.Parking: free parking on weekend after 6pKid-friendliness: very kid friendly“
“I'm not gonna lie. You got the best food at the restaurant and the best employees.They are so helpful and friendly. I also met this girl at the restaurant.Her name is NAYAN. She was very sweet and kind and she helped me choose the best food in the menu Keep up the good work and if you want to have the best experience in the restaurant come especially on Friday's.“
“No frills, amazing food and service at reasonable price. This is our go to place whenever we are craving for south Indian food especially dosas, uttapam, idly and vada. It's located off the Oak tree road and have a large parking lot in front of the restaurant. I recently went on Sunday afternoon and was able to grab a table right away. We ordered myysore masala, mint, gongura and Rava Dosa, filter coffee and buttermilk. Sambhar is self-serve and unlimited kept in a hotpot so it's always warm. Everything came out quickly and was really tasty and satisfying.“
“Chopsticks never disappoints. The food amazing and the closest to the Indo Chinese taste we were used to India. The owners are very friendly and accommodating and prices are competitive. What more could you ask for?!!Chilli Chicken is my favorite and highly recommended.“
“I ordered the butter chicken tacos. They were delicious, very soft tender meat and succulent sauce paired with a veggie assortment . The atmosphere is very laid back and casual. The lady who took my order was very kind and incredibly helpful in placing my order. Im a repeat customer. Definitely will be back again. If you're looking for great Indian fusion dishes this restaurant is perfect. They also have some amazing Indian and American desserts as well.Vegetarian options: They have a large vegetarian menu and they are able to customize orders to a great extent.“
“To be honest, I’ve ordered here time and time again. It’s CONSTANTLY delicious like omg (I’ve had the butter chicken, naan, rasmalai, samosa)? (boutta order the palak paneer and chicken kabaab) for the price of everything the quality is just perfection tbh (especially the chicken)“
“Swagath Restaurant has closed in Edison and now Kesar Restaurant has opened in the same location at 1700 oak tree road. Kesar is a 5 star restaurant with fantastic Punjabi thali. We had a fantastic lunch at Kesar and it has been open only 3 months.“
“Overall, dining at this restaurant was a delight from start to finish. The prices are great, the taste of all their food that I tried was exceptional. The portion size is also great. Being a first timer at this restaurant I will definitely be back to experience more great food off their menu.Vegetarian options: Delicious and a great amount of options“
“One of the best place for Indian food especially if you are missing Indian street food in US! One of the best vadapao and Dabeli you can find here.. don't forget to try the UNLIMITED PANIPURI while you are here! Must visit place!Will definitely recommend to everyone.. must try place!“
“This place is amazing and best part is BYOB. Great upscale Indian food with tremendous flavor - you'll not be disappointed. I love the service and the ambiance of this place. I been here twice and I have nothing but good things to write about this spot. Come try it because the pictures describe the food exactly. Keep up the great work.“
“Love the ambience and the staff!Food is super tasty, my favorites must try recommendations has to be:Bhel puri, Dal makhani, malai kofta, pav bhaji, raj kachori and vada pav.

“I ordered online a received a phone call confirming my order right away. Food was done fast and it was all delicious. It’s great having this restaurant in the neighborhood will most definitely be ordering again. Had the chicken curry, plain rice and plain naan bread and chicken “
“The food is excellent and specifically the Tokri Chat , it's so crispy and to add to our amazement, we came to know that the papdis and the tokris are all made by Sejal , the lady who will make your chaat whenever you visit Dhaba . She is a pleasant woman with equally pleasant smile . Her daughter Kajal met us at the register helped us with check ins and at checkout , for her age she had an assertive politeness and demeanor. Our server Ravi was the best part , as he apparently was covering up for his colleagues absence and seemed overwhelmed, yet he was attentive and jet speed. Any restaurant stands for its food but as a guest I believe the people who host you matter a lot more and today our experience was very entertaining ! I truly recommend the place and the people .“
“I was there with my family. The food was really good and tasty, worth the wait. Had a nice time with family. This restaurant had a nice atmosphere. Their serving size is decent, worth the price. Definitely recommend asking the waiter for recommendations and freshness as they know which dish would be best to order. But FYI one of the watergun in your women’s restroom doesn’t work so please fix it so no one get stuck there waiting ??.Vegetarian options: They have some nice vegetarian options on their menu.Parking: You can easily park the car in front of their store.“
“We have been going to Red Pepper with our friends since it was opened.the food is excellent. The chicken dishes, Paneer dishes and Kulcha's are worth trying. The deserts are awesome.I would recommend it to everyone.Vegetarian options: Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, Matar paneer, and panner tikka masala, and onion and potatoe kulcha's are best.“
“Loooovvvedd it! The food here is spectacular! It definitely hit the spot ?. The service was great, and they were very attentive. I love that they don't rush their patrons, which some restaurants tend to do. I was able to sit down, savor my food, and catch up with my friend. Didn't even get to take pics of my food to share, I immediately dug right in ?. The food smelt and tasted amazing. 10/10, you should check it out.Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian and vegan options as well.“
“While visiting Iselin on a very nice day, we came across the place with patio seating. We loved the afternoon breeze and decided sto spend some time in the patio with typical Bombay food likechat. We were not disappointed, they were very spicy and authentic. We had pistachio and mango flavored ice cream, that was second to none. Price is quite reasonable and service was no complaints. They are veg. I recommend a trip here.“
“Great place to find multiple Indian food options from chaat to biryani to North Indian to Chinese under one roof. Some counters are pure vegetarian so that also is helpful for folks. All in all a good spot to have some quick bite with a group.Vegetarian options: Some counters are pure vegetarianParking: Lot of parking spots availableKid-friendliness: Lot of kid friendly options“
“This is my new favorite Indian place in the area. The vibe is trendy and relaxed and the food is amazingly good.The eggplant bruschetta is beyond belief, masala tostones are great and the curried lentils are so so tasty.It is on the pricier side but well worth it.“
