I really like this place!! First of all... they have good…read moredeals (especially lunch).. depending on the day of the week, they have special for any kind of cravings - they have pizza, tikka marsala, wings, tacos to name a few.. for $12 to get rice and drinks with meal... it's a great deal!! Second of all, the place is clean and the staffs are nice!! i mean what can you ask for? someone to answer your questions and help you with your decision, and the a clean and open space to enjoy your meal (with or without companies).. Third of all, they have a small parking lot at the back of the building... you do have to read the sign since some parking are for residents, but they do have some parking available if you couldn't find street parking.. MY absolute favorite is their mango lassi! it is sooo rich and thick... i feel like i am drinking mango! will definitely come back for more...

Came here on a Friday night, one of the few spots open late in the area (Closes at 12am)…read more The place has a shake shack vibe to it, bright and clean. I ordered at the Kiosk and got the butter chicken with Naan only ($13.75). I didn't realize naan only meant no rice and naan only... I didn't read the fine print... it was good and the naan was made to order. I also got the Tandoori Chicken Pizza, which was a solid. If you get it late, it's only $8.95. It's an interesting fusion spot and I would recommend if you want late night meal and in the mood for Indian food. * Street parking * Tandoori Chicken Pizza is $8.95 late at night

First time I ordered from here, the food was amazing. I highly recommend the chicken tikka masala…read morerice platter. I've never had a complaint about it. Its topped with fresh chopped onions, tomato, and cilantro. There's plenty of chicken in it. The platter itself is very small for the price, just a heads up. The aloo parathas are my go to. I've tried the one with the meat and the meat was inconsistently placed throughout the paratha. The aloo paratha is good, but could use more filling. Here's where they lost me: the raita- that yogurt sauce that comes with the paratha- is ALWAYS inconsistent. The first time I ordered the paratha this raita was the best i've ever had. It was raita with added tomato and onions. Blew my mind and I ordered it again. Next time they give me a yogurty mess that I wouldn't call a raita. No added anything. The time after that they forgot to include my raita and when I picked it up later, it was another disappointing variation. I've stopped ordering their parathas because of this since I cant eat dry partha by itself and who knows what kind of raita they'll give me. Overall, I continue to get platters from them because they're within walking distance for me and the CTM rice platter is so good.

Fresh, flavorful Indian food from a trusted favorite! I grew up eating Hocco back home, so seeing…read morethem open in NJ was such a win. The new Paramus spot is bright, clean, and easy--self-serve setup, quick service, no fuss. We tried the Pav Bhaji, Smoked Paneer Tikka, Butter Chicken with Naan, plus Chhaas and Nimbu Pani. Everything hit the spot - especially the Tender paneer tikka & the spicy pav bhaji. The Nimbu Pani was just okay, but that's a small miss in an otherwise excellent meal. Great quality, neat packaging, and authentic flavors. Definitely my new go-to when the Indian food craving hits.

While visiting nearby restaurants, we saw this new place that opened recently. Modern cozy inside…read more The menu has a lot of the popular Indian dishes. Most of the dishes had some sort of spice, very limited non spicy options. They pre make the base sauce so the spice level is not adjustable. We ordered a lot of the dishes from the menu starting with corn chaat and samosa. Corn chaat didn't really have corn, it was more like corn flakes with tomatoes and onions. The dish was blend, it needed some dressing sauce or yogurt on top to make it tastier. Samosa had good potato fillings, came with green and tamarind chutneys. For entree we got the chicken tikka masala, chicken korma with rice, naan and garlic naan with Amul cheese. Tikka masala was super delicious, thick spicy sauce. I was so glad to see chicken was moist not dry. Korma was a good too. The rice was cooked with jeera, had wonderful aroma. Both naan were excellent, loved the Amul one especially, it was so cheesy. We had the brownie ice cream for dessert, was a yummy one too. The mango lassi was also good, was on the thicker side. All our dishes came out so quickly, almost seemed like they had everything ready to go in the kitchen. It's semi self-served, plastic forks, spoon, knives and plates are next to the register. They serve the dishes in to go boxes, so very easy to pack any leftovers, just need the lids. Overall we loved the food and the atmosphere. Glad to see a good Indian restaurant establishing itself in the area.

Their chole bhatture are super good too. Everything else is very overpriced for the portions and is not worth it. The biryani costs more than the Biryani from my fav join in downtown Baltimore and is a lot less in portion size. Keep in mind this location is not anywhere nice or close to being that busy. They recently renovated and its nice but their service is just awful. They forget to bring out stuff you ordered and in the end will make you wait for the things they forgot to make. Do not go here unless you have lots of time. It takes really long for the food to come out even when the restaurant isnt at all busy. They seem to prioritize take out orders. They mess up orders a lot also. I've had this experience with them a few times and would not recommend this spot just based on how bad the service is.

I have been an irregular shopper at this since 2012. This has been my go to Indian grocery store…read morebecause it's right next to NJ-17 Northbound. I primarily go here for Maggi noodles, Maggi sauce, Indian spices, pickles, curry powder, snacks and sometimes sweets, yogurt, basmati rice and mango lassi. Items have fairly decent price and have a good variety of Indian brands. This store used be dark and old. But they have done a renovation after which its appearance has improved significantly. New front signs, new floors, aisle markings, new fridges were added as part of renovation. But still the shelves in vegetables area are way outdated. Vegetables and fruits also don't appear appealing to me. So I stick to the non perishable items. In all these years of shopping here, I never had any problem. Staff are friendly and helpful usually. Checkout lanes are usually fast. Hope they keep doing well, so I can keep doing my desi grocery shopping from here.
