    Chilli Garlic Gobhi Dry
    Ashwini A.

    SERVICE - located in a small complex away the main oak tree road area - large parking lot in front - plenty of indoor seating with large tables good for big groups - we called ahead to check the wait time and they said there was none but we ended up waiting close to 20 minutes - free chutneys, papad, and pickle - food served quickly once ordered - servers are attentive and check in regularly to see if your table needs cleaning MENU - wide selection of Indian and Indo Chinese dishes - vegan and vegetarian options available - average price ($17 per entree) FOOD - assorted sprout salad (9/10): mixed sprouted lentils with onion, peppers, tomato, and pomegranate seeds on a generous bed of lettuce. This makes a great starter to share. The beans have a nice crunch while the vegetables are fresh and slightly soft. I liked the addition of pomegranate seeds for sweetness and tartness. It felt like eating bhel puri but a more wholesome version. - chili garlic gobhi dry (9/10): cauliflower florets fried in a thin crispy batter and coated with a sweet and spicy chili sauce. This dish was like a traditional Gobi Manchurian except the coating was lighter and the sauce was not as sticky. I loved how the batter felt like tempura and added just the right amount of crunch to the cauliflower. The sauce is not overwhelmingly spicy. Also makes a great starter to share. - bhindi masala (7/10): okra simmered in a spicy tomato-onion gravy. I liked how flavorful the gravy was with a good mix of spices and chili. The okra was a bit raw for my preference and was not mixed into the rest of the sauce. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The food and ambiance were nice for a family dinner. I would make a reservation so that we do not have to wait.

    I was here on a Sunday lunch with my dance mates after 3 hours of vigorous practice! We came and got seated immediately which was nice! The ambiance is cute. Great for a date place.. cozy! We opted for the buffet! This was my first time here and honestly didn't know the buffet was quiet expensive. Anyways, there was a pasta station, the main course food and a dessert table! I had the pesto sauce pasta, veg pizza and cream of broccoli soup for starters! Loved the soup! It was super refreshing! The pasta was okay okay! For vegetarians, they had yellow daal, mushroom curry, saag paneer, veg manchurian, aloo gobi, jeera rice, veg halka noodles, raita, gulab jamun and kheer. Honestly, the daal was bland. The veg manchurian was pretty salty. The saag paneer didn't taste like palak paneer though the paneer was good. Mushroom curry was okay. I didn't even bother trying the noodles since majority of the food lacked flavor and was disappointing. Overall, it wasn't a great experience for me and I don't think i'll ever come back. Buffet is too pricey $30 for something where the only thing I enjoyed was the soup.

    Nice Indian restaurant that really caters to the guest!Food presentation was... interesting. I ordered the crispy tofu as an appetizer ( highly recommend). For the main course I ordered the baingan bharta, which I found to be pretty flavorless, and garlic naan. For dessert I ordered the kulfi falooda which had a fun presentation and was pretty good. As a vegetarian the baingan bharta was a bit of a let down but overall experience was nice. Great staff!

    My Indian colleague told me this is one of the best Indian restaurants in the area, so I decided to come for a foodie girls night out. I love the atmosphere and delicious food at this place, and I am glad nothing is too spicy for us. (I usually found Indian cuisine a little too spicy ) The free BYOB is also a plus for our girls night out. I am looking forward to return soon to try more interesting dishes at this place .

    Food is delicious! The spice and aromatics used in the cooking are well presented. Pani puri shots were also so fun! Definitely a little on the pricier side but had a great time. This place is filled with families and was packed so it was awesome getting seated right away as a party of 3. They have a cash discount so bring cash!!!

    Had dinner at the chef's table. Absolutely loved Aam panna. So refreshing. The tandoor paneer tikka was extremely good. Everyone in the table loved the tandoori jackfruit dish. Also loved the gol gappa and the stuffed bhalla chaat. Veg biryani and paneer tikka masala were ok. Gulab jamun was ok. The butter naan is one of the best I've had, so soft and well made. Fantastic experience overall. My 4 year old loved the methi paratha.

    Really good Indian restaurant located in Edison NJ. Weekends can get busy. Live music outside. Appetizers were generic (we ordered spring rolls and Papdi chaat), which were okay. We enjoyed the dinner (chicken tikka, goat curry, malai kofta, vegetable biryani which comes with yogurt with boondi). Portions are smaller than other places, and prices are more expensive. Overall good experience. Definitely try the sugar free kulfi falooda. Presentation was amazing.

    This is yummy!  They have this station to make it.  Aloo Papdi Chat

    Nice ambiance , great food my favorite is the CTM they do add way too much ginger ( on top, so it can be removed ! thankfully) . This past weekend I did have a chance to check out their buffet. The menu had both non veg and vegetarian. Even had mini dosa and hot gulab jamun ! my fav Compared to other restaurants the prices were bit high 22.99 ( they do add gratuities so add 4-5$) so roughly 30$ pp even children! which is total waste of money for us IMO, so basically at the end it was just like ordering an entree any other normal time. I do think they should charge better price for children. Also they do not take reservations so be ready to wait ...

    I'm updating my review after revisiting recently. The menu has changed but in a good way from the last time I had dined in here over three years ago. I liked how they provide a menu on which you can indicate what you would like to order, how many portions, and spice level. The crispy lotus root and tandoor kathal were the best appetizers! I found it to be unique and flavorful. The entrees (paneer kadhai and malai kofta) both delicious and highly recommended. Also they are very mindful of covid and take necessary precautions by spacing tables, placing lids on all chutneys, salads, and achaar, and having staff properly wear masks.

    Chef's table We walked into Chef's Table in Edison on a Saturday evening in October 2022 at 7PM with no dinner reservations. Frankly, with the profusion of excellent Indian cuisine in north Edison, NJ, my expectations were set fairly low. Also, based on the online reviews, I was prepared for spotty service and uneven food, given the normal Saturday night rush. However, my personal takeaway: Everything was excellent and we'll definitely be going back hoping for a similar experience! Here are the details: The restaurant was busy but we were seated promptly. Interior atmosphere was warm and inviting, although there was a definite draft from the door every time it was opened (perhaps the vestibule needs to be heated?). (No trace remained of the brick-oven pizzeria that used to occupy this building.) For appetizers, we ordered Cauliflower in sweet chili sauce (Chilli Garlic Gobhi Dry), Tandoori chicken thighs (Nawabi Tandoori Murgh), and Samosas. Both the chicken and cauliflower came out quickly, but the samosas required a bit of a wait. The cauliflower was coated in a delightfully crispy coating in a sticky sweet sauce with really good flavor all around. Good balance of acid and sweet, with a hint of chili. They could have used a pinch of additional salt and heat, but that might just be personal preference. The tandoori chicken was a double portion of the chicken thigh and the first wing section (drumettes) both on the bone. They were cooked well, and the traditional yogurt coating was flavorful. Meat was falling off the bone but still had a good resilience to it. Despite the wait for the three samosas, we were really happy with what we eventually received. The Samosa pastry and filling were definitely house-made, not frozen. Filling was finely ground, with fresh herbs and peas mixed into the potato mash, and the pastry was light and tender. As this was our first time, Mrs. Heat and I ordered four entreés, with full intent to take quite a bit home and share with the Embers. Vegetable Manchurian - good texture and flavor, generous portion. Really liked the texture of the "veggie balls", and the sauce was really deep and intense. Butter chicken - very tender meat with a mild sauce, could have used a bit more protein. Chicken is the least expensive protein commercially available today - there's no excuse to skimp on this. Other than that, a good dish overall. Would order again, especially with more chicken! Stuffed paneer (Khumani Bhare Kofte) - exactly as described and very tasty. This was a new dish for us, and we were surprised that there was literally dried fruits and plums stuffed inside the paneer. No idea how they did that, but it made for an extremely flavorful bite. A winner indeed! Lamb (Gosht Rismisa) - falling apart boneless meat. Good gravy - one of the dishes you want to soak up in naan or rice well after the protein was gone. And the protein in this dish was plentiful, in contrast to the scant butter chicken protein (and inexplicable, given their relative wholesale prices!) The Rasmalai had a delicious strong flavor, and was both creamy and tasty. I literally licked the bowl - hopefully when no one was looking. The Kulfi Falooda (served with noodles), although somewhat bland, was served in a unique ceramic vessel with smoking dry ice (see photo/video). Worth the experience, once. The service was - while not exceptional - fairly typical of Indian restaurants not in Manhattan, and really quite good for post-COVID staffing challenges. Obviously, they're suffering from the same foodservice shortages that we're seeing industry-wide, but Chef's Table is handling it gracefully. Our server was cordial and helpful throughout, and responded from across the floor to eye contact and a smile. We saw additional servers and bussers as necessary, mostly to deliver food and take away dirties. Timing could have been tighter, but again, at primetime on a Saturday night, I was happy with how well they kept up with the rush. I would suggest at least one more main server and one more busser for the Friday/Saturday night 5-9 shift. My summary here was that this was a very good experience for an Indian/PanAsian restaurant, and a standout even in North Edison, NJ. Several dishes were surprising, and all were at least "very good" in my opinion. My few tweaks could easily be incorporated by an attentive manager and head chef; I hope they take them to heart. I'm excited to visit again, and may add Chef's Table into our regular Indian food rotation. Incidentally, almost none of the food made it home to the little Heatlings. We returned home with two small takeaway containers and very full belles. Next time, they'll have to come along.

The seafood is extremely fresh, the broths are rich and flavorful, and the selection of small dishes is huge. There are tons of options for sides, appetizers, and even BBQ items before the meal. The dessert selection is also impressive. One thing I hope they can improve is the ice jelly (冰粉). The current red version tastes a bit like Jell-O, which feels a little off compared to authentic Chongqing ice jelly -- would love to see a more traditional texture and flavor in the future. My personal must-haves here are the lobster, crayfish, beef tripe, and pork aorta (黄喉) -- always fresh, always delicious. Overall, amazing quality, super fresh seafood, and great variety.

There is such a large selection of seafood to choose from, for the price of $63.99 per person, it is not bad especially considering how much seafood and meat costs. Ordering is easy as each table has their own tablet to place orders but my only gripe was that staff need to enter a code before you can submit to the kitchen. Drinks are self service and you can get as many as you like, from sodas, water, soy milk, green tea. There is also a sauce bar that is kept very clean. Decor is amazing as staff informed me that the paintings on the walls were hand painted by an artist from China. For every 2 people, you get an option of a lobster or another type of seafood. Seafood options range from mussels to class and even razor clams. Plenty of meat and veggie options as well. Although this is supposed to be a hotpot and bbq restaurant, hotpot is the only thing available as the restaurant does not have the proper ventilation installed for the bbq grills, although the grills are right next to the hotpot. That's unfortunate as I was looking forward to grilling some of the seafood. For dessert, they had durian which I tried for the first time. It was super creamy and sweet! I've been missing out this whole time! Overall, our entire experience was great and I would definitely return.

You don't pay for a wonderful "experience" --- that was never part of the package. UMI Premium Sushi & Seafood Buffet changes that, and offers the Chinese Buffet in a setting that is bright, open, and beautifully decorated. There is no real "server" when you come here, all of the servers work as a collective --- you call one down, they bring you your drink, another passes by they collect your plate. These workers definitely work in harmony. Now I have to say: this Buffet is a bit pricier than the normal "Flaming Grill & Buffet" --- adults are $23.99 and kids are between $11-16. But remember: you getting not just the food --- your getting what most other buffets don't offer: AN EXPERIENCE.

I remember this hot pot place from a long time ago when it was called Little Sheep. It was supposedly regrouped and rebranded as Happy Lamb in 2017. It is a bit old-fashioned in that instead of an individual hot pot for each seat, it offers one stove per table and up to two different broths for the pot. Also, aside from the proteins which you need to order through the wait staff, we get to grab the rest of the side ingredients ourselves, unlike at more modern hot pot places which must be explicitly ordered. In this way, I can take just one piece of calamari and one slice of winter melon, grab more if I like it without troubling anyone, just like at a regular AYCE buffet. Another plus is that it's finally possible to track your own items!!! The thinly sliced meats are always nice. The mala beef was really spicy, even after swishing it in the broth a few times. The giant prawns were the star of the pot--so sweet and tasty--until I realized none were deveined, at which point I stopped eating them. The beverages (e.g. plum) and dessert soups (coconut sago and white wood ear), while sounded tempting, were all disappointing. They were poorly rendered and over-diluted. Service was on point. Ambiance was so so. Price was fair. 3.5 out of 5.

    We were traveling to New Jersey and though of trying Dhaba in Edison. Everything we ordered was…read morefull of taste and felt freshly prepared. The sarson Ka saag was outstanding -- earthy, well seasoned, and perfectly paired with makki di roti. The rajma chawal was comforting and homestyle, with soft beans and a rich gravy that tasted just like a classic North Indian meal. We also tried the tandoori chaap, which was flavorful, tender, and beautifully grilled with a smoky aroma. The chana bhatura was another highlight--spicy, hearty chana with fluffy, perfectly fried bhaturas that weren't greasy at all. Portions were generous and the overall experience felt very authentic. If you're looking for real dhaba-style food in New Jersey, this place is definitely worth a visit.

    We went in for dinner on a Friday night, but most of the menu items were unavailable. Drinks like…read moreSharbet, Mocktails, and Gur Chai were out of stock. Nearly half the menu was unavailable by 10:30 pm, even though the listed closing time was 1 am. Starting at 11:15 pm, the waitress began denying entry to new guests and told us that on weekends, they actually close at 11:30 pm. Service was slow, but the food was good. We had planned to try several items but ended up ordering only Sarson ka Saag - Makki ki Roti and Dahi Puri due to limited availability. The saag was flavorful, though the roti seemed to be a mix of besan and makki (cannot confirm this though). The Dahi Puri was okayish, but little bit too dry. Hence, won't recommend this dish. Many guests were turned away because of the inaccurate closing time listed online. I recommend calling ahead to confirm before visiting.
