I was disappointed with the monthly karaoke event at Jhopri. In my experience, the event felt more…read morecentered around the owner than the participants. The owner appeared to spend much of the evening drinking and talking, which often interrupted the flow of the karaoke program and reduced opportunities for others to sing. I also felt that personal boundaries were not always respected, and some interactions with female guests appeared overly familiar, like touching females. During the recent month karaoke the owner hugged a female in the most embarrassing awkward way, in the pretext of asking sorry, that she had to struggle to get of. He keeps hugging every female for some reasons. High time he stops misusing his event. Do not touch a female unnecessarily. A karaoke event should be welcoming and respectful for everyone present. A little more professionalism, decorum, and consideration for participants would go a long way toward improving the experience. If you organize an event, it should primarily be for the enjoyment of the guests, not for yourself.

My original plan was to visit a restaurant and get something to eat.

I ended up ordering the curry with tikka masala sauce and chicken. I also ordered kheer, which is a rich and creamy Indian rice pudding with cardamom and pistachios. The total cost of the meal was $18 After placing my order, I saw that it would take about 50 minutes for delivery. To my surprise, it arrived in just half an hour! I have to say that the food was hot when it arrived, the portions were more than enough, and it was delicious. I would say this is some of the best food from an Indian restaurant that I've had in a long time. More than happy that I decided to order from this place. The total cost of this meal was $18.

We tried the Fish Moilee, Kochi Special Chicken Curry, Malabar Paratha, Appam, Vellayappam, and Ada Payasam--everything was outstanding. It was especially kind of the chef to personally visit our table and check on how the food was, which made the experience even more special. We will definitely be visiting again, as many other dishes on the menu looked amazing and tempting.

Our order list included the following Meen pollichathu - pan fried fish steamed with spice paste inside a banana leaf . was delicious and worth the wait Paneer Tikka - was a standard tandoori appetizer Pepper chicken Masala - this had good flavor and tasted great Goat Ularthiathu - was soft and well cooked Kozhi Varatharachathub- a bit spicy but was a good pairing with the Malabar paratha Gobi 65 - just ok Palappam with Stew - Appam is my favorite but this didn't live upto my expectations Malabar Paratha - was well made layered and soft Paalada Payasam - not my favorite but tasted ok Jaggery Payasam - loved this sweet dish Pazham pori- fried ripe plantain - was way better than expected quite nostalgic .

We would have been grateful enough for a warm restaurant and decent food, but I certainly didn't expect to find my favorite Indian food in New Jersey here (I know that's a big claim; it was just that good). Let's address the elephant in the room here: sometimes Indian food doesn't look camera-ready. For instance, my absolute favorite thing here was the chana palak, an extremely flavor-packed curry with chickpeas and spinach. What shows up (regretfully) as a greenish mud in pictures is actually an absolute flavor bomb in the mouth. Truly, I still have dreams about this dish. If looks matter to you, I also highly recommend the salmon tandoori special. It arrived on a sizzling platter (the kind that makes heads turn and eyes lock as it approaches the lucky table). There was more flavor to be had here, and I adore a dish that's hot enough to carry a blister risk while eating...especially in the middle of an icy snowstorm. Service was incredibly warm, welcoming, and efficient. Our server checked in with us the exact right number of times, and he repeatedly asked about whether we wanted to take leftovers home, the way a friend or kind auntie might after you've dined sumptuously at her table.
