I was super hungry today and wanted to try something new in my area. I was excited to finally have some authentic Indian food, rather than my usual go to- Taste of India at Newport mall. I ordered the chicken tikka, and I was expected to be blown away by flavors as I usually am when I eat Indian food. (Also, I think it is important to mention that I have had a good enough variety of Indian foods growing up, as my mom's boss is Indian and would usually treat us to food. I paid around $20 dollars which I did not mind... I came home thrilled to eat my food and my first bite was sooooo sad. Oily. Dry. Flavorless. (This sounds so dramatic but I need you to feel what I feel lol . This chicken is s...

So happy we stumbled on this place. We were in the mood for warm and comforting Indian food and we found it here! They have a couple of tables outside where we sat. We were brought water water bottles to be exact (no charge! right away. I got the butter chicken and my boyfriend got bagara baingan. We also got naan stuffed with potatoes. The bagara baingan is an eggplant dish with rich spices and it was so good. He really enjoyed it and I actually liked it more than the Butter Chicken. My butter chicken was a bit too spicy for me and some pieces of chicken where chewy. It didn't stop me from eating it though and still dipped plenty of rice in the sauce. They also brought us more rice when the...

My friend and I are on a quest to find the best Tandoori chicken in the country, so it's no surprise that we are exploring all the Tandoori places in New Jersey.

The Tandoori chicken we ordered was served on a bed of stale, chopped coleslaw-style vegetables, and we could tell that some pieces were fresh while others seemed to have been microwaved. It was disappointing. However, we also tried the Pesto Chicken Tikka, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. It was clearly freshly prepared and tasted de...

Food was okay. Service was minimal. Ambiance did not catch the eye. Certainly not priced accordingly for what they are offering. A lot of great restaurants I would rather go to for half the price. The dessert earned the restaurant an extra star. Good place to try but something needs to be added to make this a go a second time spot.

We came in for lunch at the end of their lunch shift. It was winding down inside, but we had the best Indian food we've had yet in Jersey City! Super friendly staff. Heads up: they close between lunch and dinner! Pricey, but worth it for the large portions!

The food at this restaurant has taken a turn for the worse. It's unclear if the pandemic has had a negative impact on this place, but the food is now greasy, salty, and simply awful.

My daughter and I went to this restaurant for the first time and we absolutely loved it. Aaron, our server, was fantastic and very attentive. We will definitely be returning. Book a table now

Everything we had was absolutely amazing! One of the best Indian place I've been to. Will visit again for sure! The garlic naan is to die for!
