From our perspective, I would say this is a safe place and what I mean by that is the dishes seem pretty basic.

They quickly cleaned off a table that had just left and we were seated in a few minutes. We ordered Malai kofta, kal dosa with chicken curry, bone in chicken biryani, garlic naan and Gobi 65 as an app to start. The cauliflower came out very fast, perfectly crispy and nicely seasoned. I was surprised that no raita or other sauce came with, honestly it was still probably the best I've had. The kofta was delicious as well, the sauce was sweet, savory and creamy. The biryani was done well too, not crazy spicy but enough for myself and my companions. Chicken was fall off the bone. The garlic naan was good, thinner version. My favorite dish was the kal dosa. This is a smaller dosa that only gets cooked on one side, making it thicker and more pliable for gathering up food and sauce. I loved the curry it came with and also the dosa. I had planned on taking out from here a few days prior to the visit, and will definitely go back soon for that purpose. Service was just ok. Maybe because they were slammed when we first walked in, but things calmed and we were still not attended to without having to get someones attention. With that being said, this may become my fav Indian restaurant in the area, let's say 4.5 Yelps for now.....

The staff was helpful and attentive. The owner came by and spoke to us for a while - he has experience cooking various cuisines besides Indian, and has worked on cruise ships. Their specialty is in South Indian cuisine and they've been in business for 6 months. The garlic naan was thin and crispy, different than the thicker, breadier naan we usually see. The flavor on the chicken tikka masala was outstanding. We liked the lentil spinach dish, low flavor but more natural tasting. Very reasonable prices too! We had the rosemilk, asked for no added sugar. A great find and we will be back. Love supporting local businesses!

I noticed Surati Gotalo was new on the menu, so I tried it for the first time. I asked them to make it spicy because I love mirchi, and they made it just the way I like it. It had a good kick and was full of flavor. Definitely something I would order again. For the kids, we ordered Paneer Tikka Masala baby mild. My daughter had it with Garlic Naan, and we ordered Tava Roti for the other preschooler. They did a good job keeping the paneer mild enough for the kids without making it bland. For ourselves, we also had the Chili Garlic Naan, which was fresh, garlicky and had a nice kick. Their Masala Soda is one of our favorites and something we love ordering whenever we come here. It's refreshing, chatpata and goes really well with the food. The ambiance is also very nice, and I especially like the booth seating. It makes it comfortable to sit, enjoy the meal and manage the little ones without feeling rushed. After four visits and trying almost all their dishes, this has become one of our regular spots. Good vegetarian choices, kid-friendly spice options, comfortable seating and consistently good food keep bringing us back.

The inside is small but there are plenty of seats to go with your family and enjoy a meal. The service is relatively fast and the guys behind the counter are super nice.

The chaats were a bit expensive but their flavor and presentation fast make up for it. This spot has become my new favorite to enjoy chaat! If you're ever in the area shopping at Costco, and crave chaat or dosa. Definitely walk on over to Indian Hut.

We ordered from Indian Hut through GrubHub on one of those nights when nobody wanted to cook and hapiness seemed balanced entirely on whether or not naan would arrive warm. My wife got butter chicken because some people discover a thing they love and wisely refuse to gamble with happiness. It was genuinely good. Rich, comforting, sweet in the proper way. The sort of dish that makes you sit quietly for a moment and forgive the world for inventing email. I ordered the malai kofta. The sauce was lovely, silky and fragrant, but the kofta itself had the texture of damp gravel held together by optimism. Gritty and loosely packed. Every bite felt like it had been assembled during a minor labor dispute. Then came the revelation that neither entrée included rice, it was an add on. This struck me as somewhat unsettling. Serving Indian curries without rice feels like giving someone a violin without strings. Yes, technically the object exists, but now everybody is sad and confused. The naan also didn't rescue the evening. It emerged from it's foil cocoon gummy and tired, like it had already lived a long and difficult life before reaching our doorstep. The tragedy here is geographic. Lawrenceville and the surrounding area are overflowing with excellent Indian restaurants. Places where the spices sing hymns and the bread seems blessed by small and benevolent gods. Against that competition, this meal just sort of sat there under the kitchen light wondering what happened. Not terrible. Not memorable. Just one more delivery bag entering the great American night.

I will say that the prices are on the higher side, but the portions are massive and the quality is top-tier, so it feels like a fair trade-off. You definitely get your money's worth here and will likely have plenty of leftovers. The atmosphere is great and the service was spot on. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

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.
