This Desi Galaxy is located inside a small strip mall and busy section of the shopping area, so parking will be challenging, but you will get it. Good luck on busy weekends. They carry lot of options for both vegetarians and non-veggies. We tried ice creams, fresh juice and always impressed and never a dull moment. Masala ginger chai was perfect flavor, we also ordered freshly made humongous samosas, they tasted and went well with the chai. This will bring memories of street food from India. You may not expect a smile or greet and comes with street food experience. Prices are reasonable ad definitely worth visiting. Very few tables to sit and eat but the arrangement of tables is congested. I will definitely visit this location again!! read more

So much food selections, reminds me of street food in India lol. Parking gets a tad crowded in the lot but it's Edison and not Hudson county, so it's nothing crazy. I was craving momos and this is the closest spot near me l. Momos were fresh and had some kick! I highly suggest trying to order ahead since the wait felt like over 30 minutes. read more

Desi galaxy has a few stations inside offering various items. Our last visit was to get some savory snacks/chaats. Bhel puri. 5/5. Was very good and flavorful. The presentation was excellent. Vibrant, colorful. Chaat Papri 4/5. Also very good and tasty. Beautiful presentation, flavorful and savory. Dahi papri chaat. 3/5. This one was ok. Didn't care for it too much. It was some ingredient that I didn't like. There are plenty of items on the menu. And I see myself coming back for more items. read more

The momo place was average. The chai was actually pretty good. Paan was about average. Crowded for sit down with family but overall different options for different types of Indian food. Service was good from all the shops. read more

Their Vada Pav is one of the best I've had so far in tri state area. I would recommend their vada pav to anyone who is in the area. read more

Conveniently located in heart of oak tree road . Not much of advertisement from outside but this is inside desi galaxy shop. There is a small banner outside but people never notice it . They have hot bufffet type ready made food once u enter . Taste is good for some dishes and average for others. Chicken curry is really good . Naan with chick or mutton curry is awesome . I don't prefer their biryani or some of the veggie items . I think there are so much of options for biryani around ... price point of view it is good. Not that expensive , especially compared with other restaurants who charge crazy .. Service is good . There is always someone in the front counter . There is a pan shop and fast food and juice shop too inside . Overall a mixed experience . It's good sometimes when you are in no mood to eat anywhere else :) read more

Stopped by on a weekday evening to pick up chaat. The place offers a wide variety of chaat options along with other Indian street food options and drinks. We picked up lots of snacks and appetizers. The raj kachori chaat was very tasty, but a little too sweet for my liking. Vada pav was great with garlic chutney. The puffs were a let down, had a weird greasy after taste. Also like other chaat items anything with sauces and yogurt is going to get soggy for take out, so heads up in case you are doing take out. Might want to ask for the sauces on the side. Overall decent experience for the price and lot of variety, flavors and quality can be improved though read more

Usually is a must visit on my trip to NJ. This time my GPS took me to Desi Galaxy express, which I never knew existed and thought this location moved there. However, on my way back home....I saw this open and had to make my stop. This place has a lot of variety Indian tood you can try. The food comes in a good portion for the price you pay with a good taste. This visit I only got a paan as I was stuffed from restaurant hopping. They sell the cheapest pasn at $1.50. We tried at least 4 spots for pasn this weekend and hands down, this was the best value for your money My visits here are routine so make sure you stop by and try it if you are in the area. If you are a local, enjoy and not sure why you would be cooking home. read more

Desi galaxy is a food court and all of the food is terrific. We hadn't been here in a number of years but used to go quick often. This time we had the live pani puri. I liked that they had a selection of pani flavors like mango, katha meeta , pudina and others. The katha meeta (sour sweet) was the best and others were just ok. The puri didn't taste too fresh and the pani was tasty but really cold. I can't say this was a great experience. We also had papdi chat from another stall that was as great as usual. The best was the gobi paratha! Made to order, hot, spicy gobi inside a crisp paratha. (Still dreaming about it) We also shared a cup of elaichi tea. It was too milky for me but still hit the spot on a cold day. Service is efficient and there are a small number of tables. read more

I love Indian street food, specifically Mumbai-style street food! The vada pav and chole bature are so fresh and flavorful. The pani puris are authentic - like the streets of Mumbai type of authentic. Paneer pakoras are also delicious. I would highly recommend Desi Galaxy if you're craving Indian food with a ton of flavor. It's always pretty crowded, but service is usually timely. read more

This is about the punjabi section of desi galaxy. The paalak paneer (spinach and cottage cheese) is 10/10 for anywhere in the US. Second comes any paneer dish like paneer tikka masala (8/10). Third comes daal (8/10). It used to be 10/10. It used to be slow cooked but after COVID they went survival mode it seems. It is a good daal - not a great daal anymore. They tandoori roti (no butter) is crispy and out of this world. Shaed, at 1700 oak tree rd is a gem of a person. Highly recommend. Their Gobi is amazing (9/10) when made to order with less oil. All their dishes are amazing when made with less oil. If you are a non veg read more

Stopped here on our way to the airport. Pretty neat spot! We are from SF Bay Area and quite familiar with Indian joints, but this is at a whole different level! Small stand alone food court with a variety of stalls - dosa, chaat, info Chinese, fresh fruit juice and paan! The chaat was ok, not great. But the rose flavored fresh smoothie that we had was utterly delicious! Saw a sign by the water cups that said the cups were meant for in house use only....I chuckled as it was so reminiscent of India:) read more

Ignore the ambiance and you'll find yourself at the best spot to eat in Edison. Unlimited variety for some of the best Indian street food you'll get in NJ read more

There are about 6-7 various vendors in his location, showcasing cuisines from different parts of India. I've tried all the stalls at least once and some of it is good and some, well not so good. I think if you temper your expectations and think of it as a place for something quick and fast you'll be ok. Punjabi Express is one of the main stalls, on a recent visit I've tried the Mutton Biryani and Chicken Tikka Marsala. The Mutton Biryani was good and spiced well. It was not too spicy hot and not very oily either. The mutton was also very tender and not too fatty. I recommend this dish. The Chicken Tikka Marsala was made with white meat chicken and quite frankly forgettable. The meat was very dry and the gravy was bland. Usually the chicken in this dish is prepared separately from the gravy, and thus it generally lacks flavor that is present in the gravy. The parathas were delicious with the cauliflower beating the cottage cheese of the versions I've tried. The pani puri near the rear restaurant is unique although it's not really something I crave. You decide on the fillings for the Pani Puri, they are then served to you on the spot and you put them down right away. The experience is kinda cool. The Desi Dhaba Chicken Lollipop is not great. It was not fried properly, the breading was not set, and not crunchy. The spice level was nice so it was a shame it was not fried properly. Also have tried the sugar cane juice with ginger at Bombay Spice. It was delicious although it would have been even better if it was a bit more cooler. I did say I didn't want too much ice in it so maybe it was my bad to say not too much ice. I would recommend this drink. I've tried the Chole Baterri and Samosas on other occasions and they are ok. The sit in tables here generally seem like they are not cleaned between customers or not at all throughout the day which is kinda annoying. Overall there are some high points and some low but late in the evening it is definitely an option to consider. read more

I Ordered 2 egg kheemas and a Kati roll through doordash. My instructions specifically read "PLEASE MAKE SURE TO USE LESS OIL/BUTTER." The order arrived with all the items in the bag covered with oil that leaked from the gravy!!!! I open the Kheema and there's still more oil oozing out (surprise surprise) It took me 10 minutes to remove excess oil that was floating on top and and clean all the items that were covered in the leaked oil! Then I call the restaurant up about this issue because I had mentioned less oil/ butter in my instructions. (Now here's the fun part..) This lady tells me that she sees the instructions and they tried their best to use less oil. I'm like NO, that's not true because of the amount of oil there was. So then she goes on to say "We can's do anything and it's not our fault. It is just excess oil that is coming out because of the onion and tomato gravy!" Now, I cook Indian food too but I've never heard or seen this absurd thing that she mentioned to cover up their mistake, UNLESS you actually cook in excessive oil! She was extremely rude and at one point raised her voice at me as if it was my fault that they messed up! Never again! read more

Only part that was open when I went today around 4 was "Bombay Spice". I ordered 2 pc veg samosa, pani puri, bhel, and paneer pakoda. I received my order pretty quickly and was extremely happy to see staff and patrons wearing gloves & masks. Unfortunately I wasn't very enthused with the food. The samosas were okay. The pani puri was okay, and the bhel puri was below okay. The pani puri came with approx 8 puri but the filling provided was enough for maybe 3-4, and was also not the best. It was all very mediocre, not what I expected in Edison for Indian street food. What I did like was the pani for the pani puri. It was pretty refreshing and not strong. The paneer pakoda were pretty good, so no complaints there. They food was served with plenty of chutneys. There was the typical coriander chutney, but also a reddish sweet chutney. I think it must be tamarind but it was different than I've ever had. That sweet chutney was amazing! The prices are also very reasonable, so although I was kind of "eh" about the food, I wasn't really upset. read more

Awesome choley bature. As close to Indian street food you can get in the US. Must try golgappa too.

This is a pretty good food court with a variety of Indian food and fruit drinks. There is ample parking in a parking lot located in between streets. I tried Punjabi express. The naan is delicious. You get a good variety of foods. I just wish there was more chicken; I only got 4 pieces of chicken with my meal. Otherwise, good Indian food. read more

This a mini food court with about 6 different food stores inside. It's not the prettiest and the bathroom is not very clean but at least there is a variety of snacks and food. I ordered basket chaat and chole bhature from one spot. Chole was so-so. A little watery and the flavor wasn't quite to my liking but it wasn't bad. Portion was fine for $8 (one bowl chole and 2 dahi puri). The baskey chaat was really great. Its not the same as tokri chaat! Basket chaat bowl is made from potato shreds and it was tasty to eat. They also put little home fries on top which I loved. Considering how much potato, I wish the chaat itself had less potato but it was overall very tasty. $8 though which is a lot for a chaat but I guess that's because of the basket read more

I don't like to go to Desi Galaxy as it is not very clean. But I still go their for Urmila's Pani Puri live station. My favorite is the Khatta Mitha water. I give 4 stars to her Khatta Mitha Pani Puris. I would hardly give 1.5 stars for Desi Galaxy's lack of hygiene and cleanliness. read more

Desi Galaxy is an Indian snack stall selling popular chaat items and some other street food dishes like Chole Bhature, Pav Bhaji, etc. The place is small, with limited seating, inconsistent food quality and is not so hygienic or clean. But the service was great, few items might be worth trying and pricing is pretty reasonable. Recently visited this place with a group of friends. We had tried a bunch of items among the group. The quality of food wasn't too great, some dishes were nice and some were really off. We first tried the Pani Puri - they have a variety of Pani to choose from. The Puris weren't crispy as you would want to be. After that we tried a couple of chaat items with Pav Bhaji and Chole Bhature. The chaat items were ok but one of the chutneys used in them was smelling bad. The Pav Bhaji and Vada Pav were kinda OKish and the Chole Bhature was pretty good. We also tried the Cut Mirchi - a batter fried green chillies dish, the dish tasted great and pretty fresh. It seemed like few of the dishes were fresh and few were stale or of poor quality. I would not advise anyone for this place but if you are here you can try their Cut Mirchi and Chole Bhature. read more

They advertise as being open from 7.30 am. They were not ready to serve food until 8.30 am. Disappointed

Went in for a quick bite. Ordered Chhole Bhature from BombaySpice. The chhole (chickpeas) were flavorless. I was hoping for a good punjabi flavor, but then I guess it was my mistake. Ordered Chicken tikka masala platter from Punjabi express, food served including the naan was cold. Not the flavor one would expect from a punjabi kitchen. All in all, very disappointed. So if you're looking for some authentic Indian food, please avoid that place! I'd rather go to Jassi's across the street from next time onwards. read more

Is this the best Indian food in Edison (Iselin), no! Is it the best Indian food on Oak Tree Rd? No... But the variety is great, everything from chaart to kebabs, dosa's to fresh juices. Not exactly the place you'd want to take a first date, or host a business meeting, however the place is awesome for families, especially those who are a mix of vegetarian and carnivores... Is the place clean, not really... it's definitely a hole in the wall, that will satisfy your craving for a variety of Indian food. However, if you're in the mood for Kebab's you're better off at Shalimar grill a door or two away. read more

Desi Galaxy is the exact place I would image when I think of a Indian street food restaurant coming to America. Like many other cultures, street food eaten on the streets, obviously! However what that means is that these places aren't exactly Michelin Star restaurants. These aren't the cleanest places. They are kind of grimy. The workers might be a bit rude and rush you, but it all adds to the experience!! That's what makes street food, street food! I am putting 4 stars because yes this is a restaurant and should a bit better, and whatever, I get that. But his is exactly what a street food place reminds you of, from any country. Now for the food... I have come to this place good handful of times, and I'm not the person that would get the same thing. However, I think I have now settled on my favorite menu items. Live Pani Puri, Dhai Puri, and Chicken Lollipops! The Live pani puri has some awesome flavors, but I think favorite on is the Khatha Mitha. It hits the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. Nothing beats a classic order of Dhai Puri, it's just too good. And the Lollipops! Oh man, honestly the best Indian chicken you can find. I'm a big fan of this place and will continues to go! read more

Bombay Spice: This place used to have nice authentic Punjabi food at Chaska. Now it is taken over by Gujjus and quality is down, food is tasteless, prices are up, serving size is low and Arrogance is high. They will look at you as if questing "why the hell are u here?". They will lick their Gujju people and ignore others., Tokens for Live Pani Puri is a joke..and again Gujjus will get high priority. read more

Anytime i'm in central NJ I HAVE to go to Desi Galaxy for a meal. It's cheap and delicious indian food every single time. It's the corner spot of the strip mall and has 6 food stalls, a drink station, and a paan place. I'm a creature of habit so I always got to Punjabi express (i think that's what it's called... right in the middle). You can get a whole meal + naan made in the traditional tandoori oven for just $8. The drink place has the best lassi. A medium sized drink will run you $5. Totally worth it in my eyes. I have never had a bad experience here. Keep in mind the weekend crowd is extremely crowded. read more
