Ambiance: (4/5) It's a bit cramped with all the stalls but it gives India vibes, so it adds to the ambiance. Price: (4/5) Prices are average for the area. Food: (4/5) Chole bhature were very good. We split one entree with two people. I think they could have given more chole since the bhature were so big. (2/5) The momos were really hard at the top. Nothing like an Indian momo. The chilli sauce was good, but the filling wasn't good either so I only ate one out of 6. Service: (5/5) Food comes out quick.

I did not realize that I've never had real Indian food until Desi Galaxy. Desi Galaxy is a very mini food court with shared seating in a small strip mall. My son's friend recommended we come here during our visit to get a literal taste of the local Community. Friendly diners stopped to ask if we were enjoying our food (we were obviously visitors). We went straight to the back and didn't recognize anything on the menu. After looking a few things up and asking for recommendations, we ordered several items and they were all wonderfully delicious. Everything is either slathered or accompanied by the most wonderful combo of spicy, tangy or sweet sauces. There's a lot going on in each of the dishes but there's still a freshness about it all. Vegetarian or not, our dishes were satisfying. Please refer to the receipt for what we tried.

We stop here to satisfy our chaat cravings. Did I say here we accidentally picked the express ... and not the other desi galaxy down the street. It was cold and didn't want to turn around. And after having eaten here I prefer the other desi galaxy that's not "express". It's not the cleanest of the spots but that applies to most eateries in this area... they look rundown. But you continue eating like you have a blind spot. We tried the pani puri (not a smart choice if you're concerned about hygiene) but common it's pani puri!! 6 puris 5 pani flavors to try from..Kala Katta was my fav. We also had a pav bajji... consistency was good but I didn't like the flavor as much. We got couple of things from Ammas kitchen from the next counter. Can't believe they had idli and vada for a $1. Tasted great too!!

This was my first visit to the desi galaxy express. I usually visit Desi galaxy a little down the street Desi galaxy is a bunch of small stalls in one location. The stalls include various juices, chaat, north Indian or mogul food and paan. We had paani puri and pav bhaji. Pani puri comes in 6 flavors and the last puri is the one you can pick. My 2 favorite flavors in order of my liking were Katta meeta and mango. Pav bhaji was good with onions. Make sure to get an extra pav for a dollar as they give you bhaji sufficient for 2 pavs. If you are in thevare and in mood to try some Indian food at a good value and forget about your ambience experience.....this is the place to be. This is the closest feeling you get to eating food in India and reminds ne of my roots. This licwtion also has ammas kitchen within the Desi galaxy group of staals and feel free to read my review of that amazingly low priced south Indian food!

Lovedddddd their vada paav. Simply amazing Brought back memories of Mumbai. Live pani Puri is good, but I don't like all 6 types of panis. Except khatta meeta and pudina , others don't taste that good .. they also have various types of juices and ice creams .. sugar cane juice is available sometimes . I'm not a big fan of their hot food .. it isn't as good as other testy around . Lots of parking available I also love the raajwadi pan here.

Go for only for pani puris if you are craving. Other items are not so good. Too expensive price point.

Kesar’s-An Indian Thali - Maharaja Thali

Kesar’s-An Indian Thali

Having been here before and trying the gigantic Maharaja Thali with my cousins, I was excited to…read morebring my wife to get a smaller thali. Pani Poori- 6 pcs - these were tasty though the chutney was more like syrup. The water used came out in a small bottle which was cool. Crispy Baby Corn- great indochinese appetizer, the baby corn is lightly battered and fried then tossed in a sauce Soya Masala Curry- this was a flop. The tomato onion based curry lacked salt and spice and the actual soya pieces were too soft and mushy in texture. Wish these were a bit more dense as experienced in other restaurants. Roomali Roti- drown in ghee and it must have sat over a gas flame because it tasted of bad chemicals. Basically like eating the ghee-soaked cotton swabs from the candles at the local temple. Kathiyawadi Thali- the wife's dish- she enjoyed two if the items but this was not a great experience either. I was disappointed in the vast difference in quality between two visits. Service, however was great as servers were attentive and quick.

Imagine visiting a BestBuy and buying a duffel bag and no electronics? I visited this Thali place…read morefor the first time only to not have any of their speciality Thali meals instead have biryani and puris. The person who services us was very kind and helpful with the selections. I went here for lunch with some of our friends and family and after having had a heavy home breakfast and hence didn't have an appetite for the Thali meals. That's the same reason I didn't click a lot of pics like I would usually do. The vegetable biryani, SPDP chaat and puris with aloo subzi came in no time from the time we ordered. As much as the food was tasty I found them bit salty and the subzi little oily - this coming from a salt lover who tends to add salt to anything he eats, you can trust me. Overall a good restaurant serving quality food and with ample parking space (weekend parking story could be little different).

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.

My girl and I decided on a whim to come here for dinner after walking around Menlo Park Mall for a…read morelittle bit in the afternoon. When entering from Grove Ave, it's easy to be a little bit confused because the restaurant is stuck in the corner behind what used to be Stop n Shop and such. The shopping center is certainly very empty without the anchor grocery store, so it's often quite easy to miss this. Knowing that the restaurant opens dinner service around 6, we got here just before then and realized that the staff was already accepting people beforehand. That was great. As my girl is from Goa, this was a place that was on her mind for some time to try. Likewise, I wanted to try some authentic Maharastrian food too. To start, we ordered a mango lassi & a Kaira Panha. I stuck with the former, which was great. My girl enjoyed her drink too, though def not my first preference. For an appetizer, we ordered the Kothimbir Wadi. This was quite tasty and well enjoyed with the chutney. Certainly authentic. For the main meal, my girl enjoyed her fish fry. I got the Veg. Kohlapuri along with Garlic Naan. The Kohlapuri was good and was easily able to finish it. The only small gripe we had was that the tomato-based curry kinda reminded me of a North Indian korma that you'd get from other establishments. My girl noted this and do wonder whether this is truly the proper way of making and enjoying a Vegetarian Kohlapuri. She noted it was meant to not have a tomato base and was supposed to be a bit more flavorful. As this was my first time, I'm not sure if I can fully validate this, but it's worth a question. Nonetheless, I can't complain about the food. Just simply a curiosity on my end.

Nagpuri Saoji - Saoji Chicken curry

Nagpuri Saoji

(32 reviews)

Saoji is a fiery, deeply spiced, mostly non-vegetarian cuisine said to have originated with the…read moreHalba Koshti weaver community of Madhya Pradesh. When the community migrated to Nagpur in 1877, their food followed -- spreading through the tradesfolk and mill workers who embraced its bold flavors. Today, Saoji is considered the signature cuisine of Nagpur: intensely spiced, unapologetically hot, and built around powerful, roasted masalas. Tonight we ate at Nagpuri Saoji in Voorhees (they also have a location in Iselin), and these two spots are reportedly the only places in the U.S. where you can experience this cuisine in its full, blazing glory. To Start We began with sabudana vada -- the classic Maharashtrian fritter made from tapioca pearls, mashed potatoes, peanuts, and spices. Served piping hot and impossibly crisp outside with a tender interior, they came with two chutneys and were absolutely sublime. Alongside that was goat sukka, a dry-style mutton preparation associated with the Mangalore and Udupi regions, with spice influences tracing back to Goa and even Arab and Turkish traders. Coriander, fennel, cumin, black peppercorns, and fenugreek give it depth and warmth. It was bold, savory, and incredibly flavorful. The Curries I ordered chicken kala masala curry, and it was deeply earthy, nutty, and robustly savory. "Kala" means "black" in Marathi -- referring both to the color and to the roasted spice blend itself. Cumin, coriander, cloves, cinnamon, stone flower, coconut, sesame seeds, and chillies are roasted and ground into a dark, complex masala that lingers beautifully on the palate. We also ordered Goat Handi, with tender meat in a velvety, aromatic gravy, and a Malwani goat curry, made with Malvani masala from the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra -- a spice blend that balances heat with coastal warmth and depth. Rice, plain naan, and indulgent Amul cheese naan rounded out the meal. Dessert We finished with Sitafal Rasmalai (custard apple-infused rasmalai) and Jamun Rabdi -- both creamy, fragrant, and perfect against the lingering spice. A Few Notes Like much traditional Asian cooking, the meat dishes are cooked on the bone -- so eat mindfully. And if you request "hot," they mean hot. This is not toned-down spice; this is the real deal. I was thrilled to try dishes from India that I've never made before. Saoji cuisine is bold, unapologetic, and absolutely delicious -- and I'll definitely be adding some of these flavors to my home repertoire. If you have the opportunity to try this cuisine -- do it.

Kind of a letdown! I…read morefinally decided to try this place after hearing a lot about it. I know it's popular for the saoji chicken but being a vegetarian I had to stick to their veggie options. I visited this place for dinner and they were out of a lot of things. I got the shegaon kachori, Misaal Pav, Tarri Poha and Sol kadhi. Shegaon kachori was the best option amongst the lot. It was super crispy and the filling was nice as well. Tarri Poha was a let down. The tarri tasted weird so it ruined the entire dish. Same tarri was present in the misaal too, so this dish was ruined too. Sol kadhi was average. The service was fast and the ambience is okay-ish. Honestly, would not recommend this place for their vegetarian options!
