The food here is far more superior than any oak tree road Indian restaurant food. It's my second time here and would come back again. I enjoyed every meal we ordered. The meat dishes are not heavily spiced with Indian spices that it takes over the flavor of the meat. It's also served not spicy , preserving the real flavor of the meat The rumali bread was perfectly handmade and served warm. The pompret fish was not fishy at all nor it is covered with strong indian spices. read more

I ordered from chefs table last week . I haven't ventured from my usual Indian restaurants which are Star of India ( kenilworth ) and begum palace ( Madison ) but i decided to take a risk that evening . The Uber eats reviews were strong and the prices were very fair . I paid around $50 for 2 entrees / naan and An appetizer . The sprout salad was something I've never had at an Indian restaurant ! It was refreshing and was a nice healthy side with my entree. I ordered the chicken tikka murg masala . The sauce was to perfection , it had that nice balance of creamy & spicy . Every bite of the chicken was tender and flavorful . It was a nice portion too I was able to have 2 meals of it ! My husband ordered the Hakka noodles which is an indo Chinese dish . That was also pretty good. He kept going back for seconds which was funny because he was skeptical at first. I ordered naan as well , it was good but I have definitely had better . It lacked the bubbly char that makes the naan bread have a great flavor . I would definitely order from here again . read more

Went to check out this place when I was craving indian food but wanted to try something new. It's a really convenient location with lots of parking. Really nice on the inside! We tried pav bhaji which was served as a fondue and was really good! It reminds me of an upscale indian fusion-like restaurant. read more

Chef's table is a must try restaurant. We had the buffet and let me tell you it's probably the best quality for a buffet I've had in a very long time. The food is terrific absolutely terrific! The dining area is wonderful, comfortable and expansive which is great for a buffet because you have lots of customers waking around with buffet plates. Even though it's a buffet the wait staff are everywhere in their cool yellow chef coats and bring you beverages and complementary min citrus water. Even the check comes in a neat little European mail box, a whimsical touch. Plenty of great parking. Lots of seats so the wait times (if any) are very short but get this, if there's is a wait then wait because it's well worth it! A fantastic addition to the busy Indian restaurant population in the north Edison area. Bravo Chef's Table! I will be back. read more

I was excited to find this place thinking that I had finally found a place for my big birthday party. However, it was a only a big let down. The food was extremely over spicy!!!! Couldn't enjoy the flavors of the dish because the heat was so overpowering! I still wanted to have my party there because the decor was nice so I inquired about maybe ordering some mild food ahead of time because my guests would not be able to tolerate such high heat. They would not accommodate my request. They seemed like they just could careless about the party I wanted to have there. So I looked elsewhere and found a place much better then them that actually wanted my business and I had a great party. BTW: beware: they add a tip to the bill and all kinds of other fees. Not going back. Thumbs down. read more

Went there for an Indian buffet on Sunday. The appetizer section contained 2 kinds of appetizers - pasta and risotto cheese balls. By the way, this is considered an Indian/Pan Asian restaurant. When I asked the manager as to why are they serving pasta for appetizer, his response was that they are constantly changing and if I want to eat Indian food, I should order ala carte! Well, if I wanted pasta I would have surely gone to a good Italian restaurant and not have to opt for mediocre quality in an Indian restaurant. It was all so inappropriate!! Well, lesson learned! As the saying goes, "you live and you learn". Never going back to this place. read more

This place is on the other side of the famous Oak Tree Road in a spacious corner with plenty of parking. It was packed on a weekday evening. We got seated immediately. The Pav Bhaji fondue was not that great and it was cold. We asked the waiter several times to light the fondue up. The food arrived all at once, which some of it was cold. While the chili garlic noodles were tasty, it was cold. The Manchurian with gravy was my favorite. The hariyali paneer was not that good. It tasted like saag paneer. The garlic naan was ok. The jackfruit tandoori was good and different. The service was ok. I am not sure if I would come here again as I have seen better presentation and warm, flavorful food elsewhere. read more

Chef's Table - Pav Bhaji fondue - don't recommend! Was too cold. - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Fantastic gem in Edison. First time I went a few years back it was brand new and my dine-in experience was phenomenal. From the options to choose from to the presentation of food (pani puri shots!), it was all amazing! Service was spectacular to the point where your water glass was never empty. Usually in person dinning is night and day from take out, but not here. Last week I had ordered food and I was so impressed with how well things were packed and the quality and quantity was not compromised. The owner is always on the floor serving customers which shows how hands on he is. Highly recommended Indian restaurant in central jersey. read more

Oh man, what do I say about this place? I've tried this restaurant out several times now and my only regret is not doing it sooner. This restaurant opened up over a year ago around my area. We actually know the owners and often frequented to their previous location (Spice Zone), so we knew the potential this place had. For some reason, even with this knowledge, we didn't make it to Chef's Table until very recently. However, better late than never! Eating the food at this restaurant is every bit the mouth watering, delectable, absolutely scrumptious experience people say it is. If you're a non-vegetarian, there is simply nothing better around! Every single thing my family and I have ordered so far is just as yummy as the next. A few of our favorites are: Sweet Corn soup - my mother's favorite. She always orders it for take-out and orders seconds at the restaurant. Roti Canai - yummy, flaky roti with flavorful chicken curry. Som Tom Salad - refreshing and tasty! Dori Kabab - such well-made, soft, delicious chicken kababs. One of the highlights of our meals Lamb chops - great presentation and super flavorful. Only concern would be that it should be cooked a bit more thoroughly. Wing Swing - Better version of drums of heaven. Pathar Ke Kabab - flavorful, boneless pieces of lamb Tandoori Pomfret - such a well marinated, spicy fish. enough to feed an entire table of four. Matka Gosht - the only thing I ever go for when ordering an entree. The best! Many of the other options are amazing. They have an extensive Indochinese menu that I have yet to try! Also - their naan is always fresh and fluffy! The presentation for every dish is spectacular and the service is great. This place is a must try for anyone craving delicious Indian food! PS. Try their (unfortunately non-alcoholic) strawberry and basil mojito. Even without the liquor, it's really yummy! read more

Whether you know your way around Indian food or not - this is a fabulous find! We've been there 3 times and have never been disappointed. We're in love with the Gohbi garlic dry - it's a spicy cauliflower appetizer - it's addicting. Recently had a tandoori salmon dish, delish! The bok choy, lotus root and lily buds was a fabulous vegetarian dish! Everyone we bring here is so pleased with the polite and informative staff and great offerings! Don't forget to BYOB! read more

Tried alacarte menu, felt food was salty and service was poor . We ordered chicken tikka masala and noodles Both were not up to the mark read more

Weekday dinner with family. Good ambience, ample parking, good service and clean setting. 3 stars mainly for food, presentation is great but the flavors lack. For example - Allu papri chaat was too sweet, potato at the bottom tasted raw. Paneer tikka masala, only color and cream, no flavor - as the name suggest panner should be made tikka first and then added to gravy, certainly that was mot the case. One of the naan in the bread basket was raw on the side - certainly not a $5 naan. Have heard great things about lunch buffet, will give it another try some other time. Once again ambience was above par compared to other oak tree Indian restaurants. read more

Went to lunch here yesterday Sunday (April 30) afternoon with my family to try their Weekend Buffet, $12.99++ per person. They had about 10 different kinds of entree on a long table, with a special table for freshly made type of potatoes and black beans freshly folded like tacos. The food is soooo goood! As compared to other Indian buffet restaurant in the area of North Edison and South Plainfield areas. They serve Indian and Pan-Asian cuisine. Try to come on Thursday nights, they have live music, with Indian motif. Very clean and separated Men's and Women's bathrooms. Will be back here for sure. read more

They used to be decent when they first opened and they cared about their customers but it's slowly gone downhill over the years. There is not the same level of customer service and the food is not as good. Ordered veg hakka noodles for delivery and it was the worst noodles I've ever had. The quantity that they give is not great compared to the price. I've looked elsewhere ever since. read more

We went for lunch buffet on a weekend. The food was decent with the live chaat section being the highlight. The samosa chaat was the dish by far. The downside is the buffet has quite limited options particularly if you are vegetarian. The price was reasonable and the service was fine. read more

Overpriced, terrible service and poor quality!! This was my first and most certainly my last time at this restaurant. The Pav Baji "fondue" can be best described as comical. It is almost impossible to make dal makhni and paneer tikka masala taste so unpalatable. Even the water , flavored with mint and cucumber was sadly aesthetically unappealing and tasted strange. The only item that was edible was the rice and that was because it had NO TASTE. As for the service - less said the better!! read more

Chef's Table - Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Goat Curry and Chicken Chops for the win!!! - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

I don't like leaving negative reviews, but my experience here this past weekend was just awful. I was eager to try Chef's Table again after my first visit when it first opened. I'm unquestionably picky with Indian cuisine, but they wooed me with their twist on presentation. This and the romantic ambiance is certainly a wow-factor that sets Chef's Table aside from the many other Indian restaurants in the area. In short, I'd give the food a 3.99999/5. The entrees are undeniably flavorful, but appetizers are so-so. Pav bhaji fondue is popular here, but I'd say it's only slightly above average - presentation makes up for this. I thought I could never go wrong with papdi chaat, but this papdi chaat was a big miss - mostly large potatoes and chaat masala, not enough papdi or chutney. However, the entrees and naans were delicious! The paneer tikka could've used some spice, but tasty nonetheless. Shaak portion is smaller than most restaurants and comes with a small salad, but no rice! For dessert, I'd go elsewhere. What broke it for me was the terrible customer service... First, they did not allow us order an appetizer without ordering the entree at the same time. They said the kitchen would get mad if we placed one without the other because they restaurant would be getting busy soon? As soon as our appetizer was cleared off the table, we received our entree, which quickly became cold. I'm assuming it had been sitting out for a while. The two achaars they gave us with the meal appeared as if they had been given to another table prior. They quickly cleared the table as soon as we took our last bite. Including our jug of water which was literally snagged off our table without warning and given to another family who just came in... YIKES!!! There were many waiters serving us, which was cool, but there was no communication between them. Our conversation was interrupted repetitively with various waiters asking us the same questions. Also, one of male waiters were predominantly focused on my fiancé when making decisions. When it came down to dessert, we got one menu and he handed it to him saying here's your menu sir and walked away. Apparently females don't make decisions here? But apparently females don't pay either because he got handed the check as well. I cannot recall another time where I felt a server discriminating against me because of my gender, but the bias was evident here. After processing the payment, the server left the bill on the table for tip/signature. We were still eating dessert when someone came back to pick it the check which we hadn't signed yet. Another server came up to us and rudely said he needs a signature now. I was appalled! He stood there waiting for us to sign, but I said we'll sign when we're done eating. After dessert, another server came up to us asking for a signature... There were 5-6 opens tables at this point, and it was only 9pm (restaurant closes at 10p)... I couldn't understand why they were trying to rush us out? We both still had a full glass of wine each in front of us (byob!), but they insisted on hurrying us out. Hasty, horrible, service! It seems as if they only care for the $, but not their customers. Never again. With the vast number of Indian restaurants in the area, you will indefinitely have a better overall experience elsewhere. read more

This is the second time I have visited Chef's Table and it is still incredible during COVID. The outdoor dining area is really nice, staff wear masks, there are signs and tape leading the way to the restroom. There are little touches like wet naps before dinner and really cute hand cleaning supplies after dinner. The food is delicious. I very highly recommend the tandoori tofu and jackfruit. Omg! Delicious!! The garlic naan was also amazing. Loved our main dishes. Vegan dishes are clearly indicated. Service was friendly and attentive. You get lemon mint water at the table. It is a little more expensive than other Indian food places, but it is so worth it if you're looking to spend a little extra or if you're celebrating a special occasion. read more

Chef's Table - Near the outdoor dining area! - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Everything we ordered was delicious! I would, however, agree with a previous review that said the entree prices were not proportionate to the smaller meal portions (and rice/naan/sides are not included/ordered separately). Otherwise I like my food spicy and it was perfect! read more

The food left a bit to be desired for as the quality nor quantity align with the price levels for every item ordered. Certain appetizers should be reduced in price to reflect the amount customers receive. $9 for 2 samosas or a small bowl of papri chaat begs the question of margins management makes on those meals. Otherwise, food was a 3.2/5 overall; nothing to rave about or recommend to family and friends. The service was as close to nonexistent as you can be, coming in at 0.7/5. In the grand total of 90 minutes of being seated at the table, the waiter came to the table 4 times and spoke a total of 15 words (if that), including taking the order. It was clear that there was some level of either lack of effort or discrimination as the waiter attended to other patrons much more frequently. When ordering three appetizer, two came out relatively quickly though the third took an additional 20-30 minutes on the account it was ordered "spicy". Might not be a chef but that doesn't make sense. The waiter also gave other patrons clean wipes and checked in on the meal once the entrees were cleaned up. My party not only did not get that but the waiter didn't even bother to drop the check off. We had to flag down a person who was setting tables. Overall, either try to go during an off-peak hour or gamble with the service if you go during high-demand times. And if you're set on going, keep in mind that a 18% gratuity charge is automatically added regardless of party size. Overall 2.1/5 read more

Just back from our Friday lunch outing. The food was delicious, very fresh and perfectly spiced. We ordered Paneer Makhni, Daal Makhni, Chicken Tikka, Naans and Tandoori Roti. All were yummy but the Chicken Tikka and the rotis and naan were EXCEPTIONAL and deserve a 10. The chicken tikka was melt in your mouth and NOT oily. Someone took great care in cooking these dishes. The naan breads- you can see the chef creating it (they have glass walls) and when you taste a good Indian bread you must compliment the chef because we all know about the expertise that goes in making it just right. And again, these are are not mass produced. So really people - have some patience and respect for the effort another human has put into making your meal!! We also got an appetizer - the cauliflower chilly which was tasty but a bit oily so would give it a 7. The service was good and efficient. It does take time to create these dishes since they are freshly made, so people ought to be a little patient and be supportive of businesses in their community instead of constantly complaining. This place was also very clean, airy and well lit. Salad arrived from the kitchen to our table in saran wrap. We liked that the tables were set not too close to each other. That was one of our reasons for choosing the place. Bathrooms were clean too. At the end of the meal they bring you a wet heated napkin to clean your hands. Nice. We really wanted to sit outside in their beautiful outdoor seating they have created but it was closed and we had to sit indoors. Music felt a bit too loud for the indoor space, and we had to speak loudly to be able to hear each other, and our server took away the salad before we could say anything. So giving it a 4 star. But overall, great food and we will visit again. We have visited this place four times and have had both the buffet and the a la carte experience and we have been very happy each time. read more

I called to find out about the weekend lunch. The lady who answered the phone was too busy telling me about the 18% gratuity as opposed to answering my questions. Even though I mentioned, I was certainly going to leave the gratuity and that's wasn't the purpose of my call - but she kept telling me that it's the restaurant's policy about the 18% gratuity. I called about the food and not the tips, i am not sure what she was trying to say or what her motive was. I decided right away that this is not a place I wanted to go and dine at. read more

Came here recently. Service is horrible, absolutely horrible. My group and I kept feeling rushed - they wanted to take the dishes away quickly even when we stated we are still eating. Rushed to give us the check and wouldn't even let us sit for a couple mins to use the bathroom because they would come to clear the table. Also got me the wrong dish and when I stated the correct order the waiter just gave it to our table with an attitude. Food is fine. It's not bad but I know I've tasted better. First time ever coming here and will never come back. read more

I would give this place no stars if I could. I normally do not like to leave negative reviews but my experience here was terrible. They refused to give us a table till everyone in our party arrived even though the restaurant was completely empty. When we were seated, the server insisted we place orders the entire meal at once because "the kitchen may take too long" . The service was snooty and off putting. The pav bhaji was spoilt and served to us twice despite being sent back and the biryani had hair in it. When we called to have it sent back, the server looked at us like we made it up. Gratuity was charged as part of the bill - which we would not have left otherwise. The food and service are terrible, unhygienic and unwelcoming. I will be leaving a review on multiple forums and will not recommend or go back. read more

Good ambiance. Service was good. Not much options for a buffet was pathetic. Not much for veggies not much for non veg lovers. We went for lunch buffet on Easter Sunday there was not much choice. Pain rice(with peas), tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, v kofta, some potato mixed, mushroom bak Choi, noodles, moong daal, pani puri and ragda. No lamb, no chicken, no fish, no biryani or rice variety other than the plain rice.Not much for anybody I would say. Taste was good. Cheena kheer(frozen one served) Kesari halwa. Won't go again and won't recommend buffet for sure. Can't comment for a la Carte. read more

Good ambience both outdoors n indoors. But that's where all good things come to an end. We were a large party with kids n wanted to move table; 1st try with server and he responds it's not my job; host says all tables r reserved even though many were available. Food Service being below par is an understatement. Coming to food; kabab n gosht we ordered were good although came in very late. don't order vindaloo; for some reason they understand vindaloo to be sweet, chef tried 3 times to fix; each time making it worst. Our mistake to try this 2nd time even though first experience was bad. Never again read more

If you are looking for some bland indian food then this place is for you! Atleast i can say this for the vegetarian options on the menu; the ones which we tried. There are only two things good about this place, the way they give bill (a bit innovative) and pav bhaji fondue. I dont like to speak ill about any restaurant usually but this place was horrible. Looks like they just recently opened so they dont have much staff for service so no judgements about that! For the entree We ordered bhindi masala which didnt have any masala and was plain bhindi with oil and no salt too! The vegetarian manchurian had so much salt in it that we couldnt eat it. If still someone wants to try this place out then plan ahead as there service is too slow and for others who are not going to you saved 2 hours of your life and some bucks read more

My husband and I went to their lunch buffet on May 9. I had been dying to go and try their lunch buffet after seeing all the other yelper's pics and reviews. I had high expectations. After getting to the restaurant, my husband remarked on the fact that the location was nice, but it didn't look very busy. We were greeted by the hostess, who had a board next to her with the lunch buffet price written as $11.99, which surprised me bc only 2 months ago, another yelper posted that the lunch buffet was $9.99, so I was a little surprised but just figured it would be worth it. We were seated immediately and even allowed to change seats when we didn't like the original seating. They has a mixture of indian and asian fushion as well as different types of salad and chutneys and even hot, small golapjum. The food was very nicely displayed, the place was very clean and quaint, the only problem was the fact that many of the foods tasted and seemed old, as if they were leftovers. This really disappointment me, esp since my husband and I really went out of our way to make enough time to go to Chef's table on his lunch break. The hakka noodles were cold which was the first indication that the food was cooked a while back (the lunch buffet start at 11:30 am and we were there at 12:15pm); the asian style vegetables were soft and mushy; and the nuns were cold and hard. On a positive note, the dal with beans were pretty good and they had some vegetables pakoras that were good and fresh. When we were about leave, a large party came in and then we started noticing how they began to bring in fresh foods from the kitchen, which were steaming hot. This made us think that we probably didn't get the fresh food because we were there so early and the restaurant was not so busy when we came in, which is a complete disappointment, since the food should be fresh for everyone. Needless to say, I don't think I will be coming back here again. It's not really worth the distance and the food; I also suspect the they will raise the prices more and more as time passes. read more
