How have I been living in New Jersey for 4 months and only just discovered the Indian joints on Route 27? Just glad I started at one of the best. Get your hot, fresh tasty dosas here. Fresh sambar to boot. Authentic, home cooking. read more

Very ordinary food, ambience and service. Kitchen looked far from clean (based on an accidental peek). You can skip this place! read more

I order Mysore masala dosa, my kids order Chole Bhatura and also spinach & cheese masala dosa. We ended our food with Gajar halwa. Why 4 star Dosa was not up to par what I have had in NJ they can do much better job in masala they rub on the dosa. Best was the Chole Bhatura and the spinach dosa we all loved it. If I am going there again I will stick to the two I said before, I am sorry I forgot to add alu tiki chaat what we also had it was nice. Overall I think it is a place to go back and give them a second chance, service was quick (it is a Thursday night today may be that is the reason not that many people out to eat, not sure) any way till next time we have to Wait read more

Banglore Express - Front of the menu - Indian Near Me - Franklin Park, New Jersey

See all

I am by no means a connoisseur of Indian food but I find myself returning to Banglore Express over and over again when I have a craving for Dosa or Alu Gobi (and in this area there are a lot of places to choose from). The portions are very generous and you will get a lot for your money as the platters come with biryani as a side option (I end up splitting this with my sister often). Ordering is a breeze (they use Beyond Menu) and the service is very friendly. If you're in the area or have a hankering for some dosa look no further! read more

We came in for dinner and ordered Veg malai koft and Veg Makhni. It was very delicious and well prepared. The older gentleman helped around serving us the dishes and making sure we had everything. It was really nice of him. Another day we ordered a takeout samosa chat and onion pakora. It was delicious too. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Great food!! Chaats are awesome! Especially dahi puri is very good!! Loved the bisibelle bhath! Low prices for good food! read more

Excellent food. The chaat and the south indian delicacies are delicious. Tastes like home cooked food. So far I have had the Mysore Masala Dosa, Rava sada and Samosa chaat - yuummmie!! THe only downside is their coffee - not good :( read more

Went there for the first time ever with a large family group. Would not say that the food is A-rate but not a bad place for a bite that does'nt leave you with a bad taste in your mouth either. Since it was a weekday didnt run into crowds and we were able to find a place to sit and eat. Have to say that the grand-pa who greets you is almost a "mascot" - you have to hand it to the guy who works this enthusiastically at this age as well. Had the "Chana Bhatura" and was not disappointed - pretty decent and not a bad choice if you dont feel like having anything else from the South Indian cuisine ... The availability of "Thumbs-Up" was a refresher and sent me dashing down memory lane! The "Paav-Bhaaji" is strongly recommended for a starter - will definitely go back to sample more and come to a more concrete conclusion! read more

Excellent food always . Have been eating 20 years now nothing has changed . We don't eat dosa anywhere else except Banglore express .

This place is certainly underrated. Samosa chat, onion pakoras, masala dosa and chola bhatura are my favorites here and in that order. read more

My son likes the Samosas. Their chutneys are also so good. It's our all time favorite.

This place is above and beyond!! A great place for veg food and prices are reasonable. Trust me that's coming from a non-veg lover I ordered the food multiple times, never was a disappointment. Always exceeds the expectation. And catering is cheapest in town and food is absolutely great. I definitely recommend to all - veg / non-veg. MUST TRY!!! read more

Giving one star is me being generous. I have visited this place a couple of times before and it was your typical chaat place. Nothing out of the ordinary but my most recent visit, it made me not come back here again! I ordered papdi chaat and Bhel puri to go. I come home to it and and the papdi was stale and the chutney/yogurt had the smell/taste of Mildew/dirty dish water. And secondly, only half the container was full for my bhel puri. I called them and they said bring the food back, I told them I threw it away because it stunk so bad. In the evening I went to talk to the manager and he was so rude! He said no one complained about the food today besides me and never admitted that his food was stale and said that I shouldn't order those items from him if I didn't like it. I told him I have been coming to you for years and I never complained. He didn't care, instead he was blaming me for not liking his food. Avoid this place at all costs. The kitchen looks horrific to me. Not sanitary at all. read more

I just enjoyed their dishes. I always get fantastic service here. The place is well organised and the staff members are always very nice.

Yelpers BEWARE! If you see a less-than-stellar rating, read the review to discern whether the stars reflect the FOOD or PAINT CHOICE. or SPELLING. Taking away stars from a review because the owner spelled the name differently? Or because you don't like their wall color? What's next? You don't like the owners car? Is that what yelp is for? Please keep reviews relevant. Food/service/cleanliness/price etc. The food at this place is fantastic and the price cant be beat. Special Dosa and Paneer tikka are my fave. Aloo papdi chaat is just out of control. Im not Indian but why havent my Indian friends told me about chaats sooner??? CALL AHEAD if you dont want to sit there a while. They dont make anything in advance...its all fresh and thats why I love it. I dont take away stars because they make it fresh and it takes longer. I would rather wait & have food hot and fresh and perfect. If you want quick/pre-made food, go to mcdonalds. read more

I love this place. I'm not Indian, but I grew up eating at my Indian friends' mom's cooking, and this place tastes like that. Every time I come I'm the only non-Indian person here. This is THE place for dosas, and this place has the best dosas I've found around the Princeton and South Brunswick area. The chaats are great, the prices are great, and they have a nice old man that brings you water. What more could you ask for? I guess the decor is pretty bad, and the place looks like an old fast food joint, but that's how you know the food is gonna be authentic. read more

This place has the best dosa. Hands down (next best after homemade of course). Everything here is good for the price, but I keep coming back for the dosa. It is best fresh, when the edges are still crisp. What makes it so good is not just the dosa itself, but the chutneys and the sambar are perfect. I could eat a whole pot of that sambar and it still would not be enough. Definitely order extra with your dosa. read more

This place is amazing. It's basically a hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere, NJ, but the food is incredible. The samosas are sooooo fresh, as is the rest of the food. A pure treat. It's usually not crowded on Sundays (the only day I can go) and the service is a little slow, but it's mainly because they are making everything fresh inside. Yum! Great south Indian food and highly recommended. And let's not talk about the prices...it is too underpriced for the quality! read more

Don't go here for lunch from work, you will surely be late. Also, they don't seem to serve in order. Not very courteous

Holy cow, this food is amazing! A super yummy weekend treat.

Enjoyed our Masala Dosa, Butter Mysore Plain Dosa and the chutneys, but for a not-so-busy time, they took a long time to serve us. Not very well appointed or well maintained, so I'd definitely prefer to do take out from here. read more

I visit this place for great quality of South Indian dishes. Some North Indian options are also available and eqally good.Price is right. Strongly recommended. read more

I come here quite often. I love this place because it reminds me of the food stands in India. I always get the idly vada combo though I've tried other options from the menu. All are very tasty. The sambhar has a nice spice and I love their chai. The service is fast. The decor is simple and quaint. The staff and owner are super nice, and the old guy bringing the food to the table adds another element to the charm of this place. And lots of Indian people eat here so you know it's good!! read more

A simple place with some of the best and freshest South Indian food around. Quality and taste are always consistent. You can't go wrong. Try the pau bhaji and dosa! read more

Bangalore express is one of those many Indian restaurants that is out in Route 27. Not to be confused with Balaji Express which is not too far away from this place - this place serves Indian "Chaat" items for most part. We ordered a variety of chaats from here - samosa chaat, pav bhaji and Vada Pav were pretty good (not excellent- very good), everything else was ok except Bisi Bhela baath - the sambar rice stuff which was pedestrian ( don't trust a Gujarati chef to do a south Indian food!). There is hardly ANY space for one to sit down and eat. So, better to carry out food (which is what we did). Definitely a good place for a very quick bite. read more

Good food and cheap too. Take out service is not so fast. I do take out only, and even at the scheduled pick up time, I get to wait couple minutes. I guess they serve dine in with higher priority. But I like what I get after the wait. read more

Excellent food for the price. Atmosphere is not the best, but who cares? I live 5 min. away and take it out to eat by the fireplace. My favorite is Palak Paneer (Spinach pureed with chunks of cheese) Healthy and tasty! Yummy. I am not a Hindi, but I am trying to eat more vegetarian and this place makes me forget about meat for awhile. Really nice old guy who cleans up. He teaches me some Hindi words while I am there. Not sure if he is family, but he is always smiling and friendly. I am glad this is so close to home. It would take me forever to cook this type of food and I work 70 hrs/week, so I try to get here 1-2 times/week. Thanks Bangalore Express! ; D read more

Their masala dosa is absolute perfection - the dough is crispy and well-seasoned, while the potatoes and the sambar complement it amazingly. I haven't had a better dosa anywhere. I also love their samosa chaat. However, this place needs a serious renovation. It is downright ugly and does not appear very clean, at all. read more

Excellent food.! Name suggests this restaurant as a South Indian speciality but their punjabi food items are even better! Ambience is lackluster but food makes up for it! read more

Great value for money... hole in the wall place but surprisingly good food. I really enjoyed the idli/wada and balle balle bhel. Also, the quantity was quite good. Will definitely try more snacks here. read more

This place has the BEST SAMOSAS I have ever had in my life. I've eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants, but this place has the best samosas hands-down of any of them. Even my Indian friends admit that their moms can't make samosas as good as the ones here. Everything on the menu is delicious; I've never had anything sub-par or even less than fantastic here. That being said, the place is visually terrible. The decor is unappetizing due to a combination of strange color choices and bizarre decoration. But get take-out and enjoy at a park. The food is amazing. Must try: Dosa and Samosas. The sambar (spiced soup) that comes with the dosas is phenomenal. read more

Great quality food for vegetarians . Suited very much as a fast food Indian restaurant. Veg biryani and the chat items served here are one of the best I' ve had in recent times. Reasonably priced The service is great too.. A restaurant that is in the middle of nowhere, but was an amazing find:) read more

This place is AMAZING. Great for vegetarians, ask for non dairy or any variation you like. I forgot how good it was since I moved far away but un till yesterday it blew my mind allover again! read more

This place is not even worth one star. Food was very bad, the owner was very unprofessional and not considerate of others eating in her restaurant. The owner is a lady sitting on a table talking sooo loud on the phone and to her family member seating behind us (talking over us). Rava dosa was chewy, mysore dosa looked orange in color and no taste, chutney was very watery based. Ingredients used did not taste fresh. I would never recommend anyone to dine here. read more

The food is good but they are always in a rush to close the restaurant. If you are not in the restaurant at least 2-3 hours before closing , then you can forget about eating your food with patience, as they constantly annoy you. read more

Aloo.Papdi.Chaat. Either the person making it Tonite was in a great mood or they're consistent about this recipe but it was the Best I've ever had. read more

The dosa was very bland and had no taste of salt. Samosas seemed like they were not fresh.

i was used to go to this place quite often, but has lost its quality now.. Every time i go, i have severe acidity. Food is stale, their batter for Dosa is so old. that you can get severe stomach upset. We order Mysore Masala Dosa, it seemed nothing like its origin taste. Aloo stuffing was tasteless and there was no taste in their sambar or chutney. Even Chana Puri was very oily and chana was very ordinary. We tried few other items like sev puri, Samosa Chat, both were not fresh at all. i brought home samosa to drink with tea but had to throw it out as it was bad and in half hour, i went to bathroom. I had severe heartburn Very disappointed. . read more

We hadn't been here for some time and were pleased that they spruced the place up with pretty tables and more comfortable chairs. No one greeted us or made us feel welcome, but I guess that's what the place is like. Husband ordered an onion chili mysore masala dosa and loved it. I had two items, since I wanted leftovers for the next day. These items were alu palak and an order of dal. With them I received a very large bowl of rice and an order of paratha plus a bowl of onions and cucumbers and assorted chutneys. They don't have bottled water, which was disappointing, but we did get a large pitcher of water and some plastic cups. We both enjoyed the food and will do so again tomorrow night. One of the best things about the place is the sweet old man who brings the food and takes away the used dishes. It was an agreeable meal, and we will be back, although it would be more pleasant if the people behind the counter were friendly. read more

Food is alright but service is very bad. I used to be a regular visitor but am very disappointed with the quality of service and he is very rude. Not going there anymore. read more
