Big fan of their Allentown branch from my Penn State days, so while heading back from Peddler's…read moreVillage, we took a small detour to try their new outlet in New Jersey. Since it was around 5 PM, we decided to parcel our order. We ordered their famous mutton dum biryani. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a hit-or-miss experience. It felt like we were served an older batch -- the mutton pieces were dry and rubbery, and the rice lacked freshness. I know they are capable of making really good biryani, but consistency is what matters most. If the food isn't fresh, then don't pass it to us. Ambience was quite catchy -- a bright orange theme, a large restaurant space, ample parking, and clean restrooms. Overall: Disappointing this time, mainly due to lack of freshness.

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Jersey. Have been here a few times and the food and…read moreservice has been consistently good. My most favorite dishes here: Paneer Majestic, Baby corn Majestic, Soya Chaap Tikka, Kerala Parotta, Filter Coffee This time around we ordered their weekend special - Hakka Noodles which reminded me of the street style noodles we eat back in India. For mains, we ordered Paneer Butter Masala and Kerala Parotta followed by Dal Tadka and Rice. I must say everything was super delicious. Everything came in generous portions especially the appetizers. Server: Sahiti. She was awesome. She recommended us with some of the best dishes on their menu. BYOB Plenty of parking Some vegan options available Pretty flexible with customized orders

We have been to this vegetarian restaurant 2-3 times in the past couple of years. Even though more…read moreof us are not vegetarians, we have always liked the food. The last time, we stopped there for lunch during a summer weekday. We order three thalis. They were reasonably priced and a lot of food. And quite tasty too. We took more than half of the food home and ate over the next couple of days. We were very happy, as always, with our visit there and would gladly go there again.

WARNING: No Longer 100% Vegetarian…read more I've ordered from this restaurant a few times. The food is decent, not too acidic, and the dokla is especially good. I usually get the thali and always appreciated that this was a fully vegetarian spot ,that's why I felt safe ordering here. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case. I recently ordered via DoorDash and was shocked to find chicken in my thali. For lifelong vegetarians like me, this is a big deal. I took a bite before realizing and thank Goodness I spit it out. Mithaas, this is unacceptable. If you're adding meat to your menu, you must clearly update your online descriptions and give vegetarians the option to avoid it. Also, for those who care about cross-contamination: it's unclear if they're still using separate stoves, oils, and cookware for meat vs. vegetarian food. I strongly recommend asking before you order. Vegetarians: be cautious, this location is no longer fully vegetarian.

I asked for the kebab to be extra spicy, and they made it perfectly. Every single dish was absolutely amazing and full of flavor. I was so impressed that I ended up ordering a goat bucket biryani and chicken 65 to go just to take back to Boston with me! The restaurant has a smaller, cozy dining setup (holds about 30+ people). The food is incredible, and the prices are noticeably cheaper than other Indian spots around. High-quality food at a great price. The service was great and waiters are friendly! Highly recommend!

We ordered the Bangalore masala dosa - this is not the thick Karnataka benne dosa that's been going viral in Bandra and South Delhi, but was rather relatively thin and filled with a delicious aloo masala with onions and other vegetables. They serve it with the typical condiments you would find in Hyderabad, including a delicious peanut chutney. The other items we had were fine, but certainly not as good as the dosa. The vada tasted a bit stodgy, and the gongura paneer biryani was very salty.

I have been to and ordered from Desi Chowrastha multiple times over the past year, and even though…read morethe service has been inconsistent, the food has usually made up for it. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing on both fronts. We ordered two dishes meant to be eaten together as a meal for two. The first arrived in about 20 minutes, but the second took around an hour. After waiting for a really long time, I went to the counter several times to ask for it, but the lady working there repeatedly refused to even acknowledge or interact with the people waiting there. Its understandable to an extent that it's a busy time and she was probably frustrated with the speed of the kitchen staff but as a customer, it was not a good feeling to have to beg for the food I paid for and be met with indifference. When the biryani finally arrived, the chicken pieces were not fully cooked. By then we were so hungry that we had it anyway, but it was quite disappointing to wait that long for food that wasn't even good. Its unfortunate because we have generally enjoyed the food here in the past. The whole experience was so chaotic that it felt like a test of endurance than a fun time. Left a bad taste in my mouth, literally and figuratively!
