Dropped by Dimple's for a quick lunch while in Iselin on a shopping trip. It's a no-frills spot but the food comes out fast. Service is quick and attentive. - Bombay Sandwich (4.5/5) - Missed this from my last visit to India. It was nicely toasted/grilled with a flavoral mix of potato, tomato, cucumber and chutneys. Came with a side of chips. - Chole Bhature (4.5/5) - super tasty, good spice, very warm fresh bread. It's one of my favorite comfort foods and done well here It's a reliable spot for quick authentic Indian street food.
5 stars- Based on my expectations for Indian Street food! It was quick, simple, and a tasty lunch. It's far from fancy, the food had great flavor, the staff was friendly, accommodating and explained the dishes. No fancy plates, just paper plates, plastic, spoons, knives and forks. It's vegetarian and the food had excellent spices and flavor. Everything is to the spicy hot side. We have the vegetable samosa, you get two. The Kati roll which wax delicious and the veg Britain rice which was my favorite. They have a wide variety of appetizers, rice dishes, entree size portions and you can share everything. They have a good selection of beverages as well. There is outdoor seating under umbrellas, and parking within walking distance. I would highly recommend them while in the Iselin and Woodbridge New Jersey area.
One of the early Indian restaurants in the Edison region that grew popular and expanded! Came around 1230 on a Saturday and was very easy to get a table. Light, area with indoor and outdoor seating! Tried the following, all very yummy to me but I'm no judge of Indian food! Kala Khatta drink Bombay chat Gobi manchuria Chole bhature
Was craving a good chat meal, visiting here for the first time. Ordered Chole bhatura and Tokri chat . Service was prompt and good. Ambience is ok. Food was ok, It could have been a lot better. It lacked a punch.
Very street like Indian feel when inside the restaurant. Service is nice and workers are nice. Food is very nice but recently price has gone up and proportions have gone down.
Me and my family come to this place every time we're in Edison, NJ. We love this place, and the plates are always licked clean. The food comes extremely quick, and is always delicious. I very highly recommend it to anyone who loves Indian street food.
We were quite disappointed with our visit, especially after seeing this place usually full. It fell way below our expectations. We ordered the following items: Masala Dosa. 3/5 Perhaps was the best thing we ordered. The potatoes inside the dosa were good, but not seasoned enough. We didn't care for the other fixings that came, such as sambar, etc Tokri Chaat 3/5. It was ok. Didn't care for the ingredients that were served. Perhaps it was the yogurt that didn't taste good. Bombay chaat 1/5. By far the worst item we ordered. Fell way below. It had dahi badas in it which were hard and they broke down in the chaat making the texture very mushy and unappetizing. Service was good. And ambiance was your typical snack spot. I do believe items were overpriced. This is a closed chapter.
I really like this place for snacks. I had the dahibpuri which is really good. Everything is vegetarian. There are all sorts of snacks and drinks. There is a lot of parking. You can sit outside. Very clean
Good outdoor dining on the main shopping strip. Fast service. Sweet and spicy. Authentic. Only problem is parking on the weekends.
Dimple's Bombay Talk is about as real as it gets outside of Calcutta or New Delhi. If you've ever spent any time in Iselin or Edison then you know how similar India is to New Jersey. The parallels between India and New Jersey are uncanny! This restaurant is owned and operated by Indian Americans who know authentic Indian cuisine. Unfortunately they don't offer mulligatawny soup. They have a separate version in India called something else which they informed me about. I will come back for hybrid Indian Chinese food whenever I'm back in the area.
I ate here solo and I had an enjoyable experience. I first ordered the paper mysore plain dosa and then ordered the plain mysore dosa. Both were above average. I have been coming here for years and I plan to continue! Thankful for a consistent experience: quick service, little to no frills, great food. Would recommend if you haven't tried.
Went back to dimples today and ordered some food . Disappointed ! We always loved dimple but today was not good ! Oh my god - American chipsey was such a flop ! Not even 10% as good as what we used to have before . Even the veg manchow soup was a bit watery ! Not the same taste . Not sure if the chef changed . Paneer was bad too :( I can only taste paneer and not anything f else . It was kinda raw. Veg rice was awesomeeeeee .. might have to take dimples off my list now :(
The best introduction to Indian street food in a restaurant setting. My personal introduction to the Indian community in Edison and I immediately fell in love. Even started eating with my hands. I would order it all again and even with the "Indian spicy" level because they definitely like the heat. The masala soda was the only thing that was too much of a new drink for me to enjoy but others did truly enjoy it. A must visit when in New Jersey. Happy Munchies, @JaeGreens read more

Ordered Hakka noodles. But it was bland. And the noodle used was very thin. Felt like vermicelli read more

Very clean and open table restaurant off Oak Tree. I love chaat, so fun to try a few varieties! We were able to sit inside in and enjoy our meal on a cold, windy day. Never had a paper thin dosa...interesting, but prefer regular type. Friendly staff with good service. Will return. read more
This place needs a big overhaul in terms of crowd management and proper execution of Covid precautions. This tiny restaurant, on a normal day, would've been a nice spot to eat your favorite meal and catch up with friends and family, but during this ongoing pandemic, the staff needs to do more to ensure the safety of the people dining in, and more so, their own safety. This restaurant is located street side with very limited parking. I had ordered take out from this place during a very rainy weekend and my experience was frustrating, and frankly, a little overwhelming. The place was operating at almost full capacity, the take out process was a mess as we were told to wait outside on the common area, which is a small place as you open the door but not inside the restaurant, and oh boy, the waiting was just soooo long. People were scrambling to be seated, and as I stood there, waiting for my take out order, more and more kept coming to get a table indoors. They had a few tables arranged outside but the rain just didn't help this cause. All this being said, the food that I had ordered was amazing! I got - dry gobi manchurian, cutlet chat and chatpatti chat. The gobi manchurian was fantastic and had punchy flavor, the cutlet chat had a big cutlet as the base and chole (beans) as the topping which paired well and the charpatti chat had a blend of flavors which would entice your taste buds. Key takeaways- Limited parking, messy take out process, questionable Covid precautions in place with respect to indoor dining but, the food was YUM. read more
This is our go-to vegetarian Indian spot whenever we are in Iselin. Have been coming here for years. I always order the chole bhatura but they also have delicious dosa, indochine food, samosa, drinks & more. Don't be surprised if there are long lines on the weekend. Luckily things move fast & it's def worth the wait! Please support your local businesses! read more

The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a consumer's mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind. We went there on a relative's recommendation who was visiting us from NC. Due to the pandemic, they have a mandatory temperature check before letting us in but there was no one person assigned for the job and we had to wait for few minutes even after the staff was aware that we were waiting behind the doors. After we passed it, we were offered a table distanced from rest of the crowd. They don't have a hard copy of the menu card and you need to scan the QR code label that was stuck on every table. Unluckily none of us had the feature to scan it, but luckily had taken a pic of the menu card that was stuck on one of the walls near the entrance for our reference. They have a nice staff in Rhea who was an all rounder running around waiting the table, answering to questions patiently, taking orders over phone and checking out guests who had come to take their carry out. She was very courteous in knowing when to bring what and let us know in advance. Now to the main attraction, FOOD. The taste was so authentic that it transported me back to the days I spent in Bombay(Mumbai) 12 years back. We ordered Tokri chat, Cutlet chat, Pani puri and Bombay chat. All the dishes were tremendously native and tasty. The creamy Rasamalaai for a dessert was a treat to end the meal. If you are visiting NJ/Edison and are a fan of Chat, you can definitely tip your money here. read more
Awesome place for chaat! There's plenty of covered outdoor seating so you can safely eat outside without dying in the heat! We tried a bunch of things but stand outs were the samosa chaat and dahi puri. All were great! The chole was sooo good!!!!! Shout out to the staff for keeping things socially distanced! :) read more
I've been here a few times and this restaurant is always buzzing with people coming in and out. I'm not that familiar with Indian food, but I always think the food here is great! A few of my favorite dishes include their tokri chat, samosa chat, and paper masala dosa. Note that the dining area is small and the tables are lined up against each other, so it can feel crowded, especially during peak lunch/dinner hours. It's not that ideal for larger groups, but probably do-able if you come early or come during off peak hours. Service is consistently friendly, but it can be chaotic trying to flag down a waiter when the restaurant gets busy. During my last visit, I really appreciated our server who helped make some of the dishes less spicy, especially since the group I came with was new to Indian food and couldn't handle too much spices. One thing I noticed was that all the dishes were served on styrofoam plates/bowls with plastic utensils. It seems wasteful, and I hope they can move towards being more sustainable and environmentally friendly. read more

Trip to NYC/NJ means it a must stop in Edison - Oak Tree road! I have been here many times now and it's been pretty much the same overall. Tokri chaat - I usually get the khasta Katchori but this time got the tokri chaat. I think the khasta Katchori might be better as the tokri is made out of potatoes and is hard to break it when trying to eat. Whereas the khasta Katchori breaks reaily. Also this one was filled with a lot dry Indian snacks like dal, boondhi, posh chevdo, etc. 2.5/5 Manchao soup - tried for the first time and will be the last time. 1/5 Dry Gobi Manchurian - was really good! Just one thing I with they did was have smaller pieces of Goni instead of really large. 4/5 Hakka noodles - average and as usual. 4/5 read more

Dimple's Bombay Talk can be found in the Indian food capital of the east coast: Oak Tree Rd in Edison, NJ. They have a wide variety of dishes, all tuned to their own specific flavors. We decided to try some of their bites (chaat style dishes), which they are known the most for. We ordered the samosa chat and khasta kachori. Both were good and packed with flavor, however there was no "wow" factor. It felt as if the same foods could be made at home. However, I do look forward to trying more of their dishes at my next visit! read more

It's a small chaat shop, so pretty small and cramped (think of a dive bar). It's a little grimy and the parking lot is small but we found a spot nearby. The staff was friendly. The food is pretty okay, but pricey for the portion size. There's better value down the street. All of the utensils and cutlery was plastic or styrofoam which is unnecessarily wasteful (the kitchen looked more than big enough to wash plates like every other restaurant). read more

Hands down the best tofu I have EVER had. We recommend the fried tofu ( extra spicy ). It's crispy and not oily or liquidy at all. It's better than any other tofu dish we have ever had. read more
I came with my 'Indian Mafia' lunch buddies for lunch. I liked that there was a parking. I'd hate to street park in Iselin. I got grilled veg sandwich, Rava masala dosa, and a Indian hallo Halo sorry I forgot what the name of that tasty drink. My friends got the samosa, dosa, and some stuff I don't know the name but they told me many times. My dosa was pretty good, I still like Sri dosa over here. The veg sandwich tasted what it would be. I was expecting it to taste better. But it tasted like a salad in between buttered toast. My flatool? Was the dried out version. It was very refreshing. I didn't like the noodles. It's like having corn in Halo Halo. That's an abomination to sweet cold dessert. Discount when you pay in cash. We threw the money lady for a loop because all 6 of us wanted to pay separately. She hunkered down and got all items paid for. My 3 items cost $25. Really pricey for street veg food. I'd go back to try the Indian Chinese food. If there are recommendations. Let me know. I'm still learning. read more
I've only ordered their tokri (bowl) chaat. It's soooo good. Is the best chaat we've had. Now they have nice outdoor seating due to covid; it's actually better then the cramped inside look which made me always opt for takeout versus dine in. Tokri chaat... it can be too sweet so ask for the sweet chutney on the side do you can control the sugar! The yogurt is also sweet. It's inconsistent in sugar so just a heads up that although this is my favorite, I did feel some sugar poisoning last time lol. read more
