I was disappointed with this place. We got lots of things to go since we heard so much about this place but we were really disappointed. We tried their hakka potatoes, tokri chaat, noodles, mango lassi and rose falooda and few other items. Tokri chat was decent but everything else was slightly disappointing. read more

The place looked incredibly busy when we walked by so we thought it was a must try restaurant! The vibes of the restaurant reminded us all of the classic Indian restaurant vibes you get when you visit India so we all got nostalgic. The chaos starts when you first enter. There's no semblance of order or direction on how to order your food. Finally, after finding out you have to order up front and then you can find a table you have to wait in line for 20 minutes. The people taking down your orders are incredibly rude and have very little patience for you. We finally got a table and the food started coming out. SALTY AF! I'm not sure if it's always like this but they probably emptied the entire container of salt in all of our 5 entrees we ordered. Sadly it wasn't just us, the table next to us also complained of the exact same thing. All in all, poor customer service poor quality food. Would NOT recommend. read more

Been here recently with double of friends , we had samosa chat, Dahi puri and veg gobi manchurian. The ambiance of the place is great with ample seating and light, they have outdoor seating as well and service people are really patient and helpful. I recommend this place. read more

We had dinner at Bombay talk. Great experience very friendly staff, thank you Umesh for making our experience at BT amazing.

Have been here 4-5 times. The service can be anywhere from good to okay. They're pretty busy all the time. There's a lot of rush. People are coming and going. Their food is full of flavor. Not a big fan of Indian food but theirs I enjoy thoroughly. I love their Bombay chaat, masala dosa, bun kabab (stuff I've tried on my multiple visits) & everyone else seems to enjoy their samosa chaat. The wait time isn't too long. The food is worth the smell that goes into ones hair & clothes after. Be prepared to come home & shower again. If you're looking for a light mid day meal/snack this place doesn't disappoint! read more

Food was subpar, tasteless. Service was poor. Food was served in paper plates, one draft and our food was all over the table. Ended up paying $30.00 for $10.00 value. Won't ever come here again. read more

Sort of appalled that Bombay Talk doesn't have higher ratings! Bombay Talk has been my go to for Indian street foods. My favorites are: rava dosa, tokri and papdi chaats, Mexican samosa, fusion bhel, and Bombay sandwiches. Located in the heart of Little India, they have a lot of competition, but their unique fusion-infused menu and delicious food makes coming back inevitable. Service is hit/miss and ambiance could be improved, but honestly the food makes up it. read more

Dimple's Bombay Talk - Fusion Bhel (Indo Chinese Variety) - Indian Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

recently visited Bombay Talk and was excited to indulge in their food, which I've always enjoyed. However, my enthusiasm was short-lived. I was shocked to see the price of a single vada pav! I also ordered the noodle and rice dish, which, while good in terms of quality, left me disappointed with its quantity. In fact, when I compared it to Chipotle's veggie bowl, the difference in portion size was staggering. The price of nearly $14 for a noodle dish that lacked generosity in serving size was outrageous. I feel that Indian customers are being taken advantage of with such pricing and quantity. Needless to say, I'll be thinking twice before eating there again. read more

Informal, fast food type with table service, pure veggie Indian place with authentic savory food. Place gets fairly busy on the weekend and 30-60 minutes is normal. No reservations over the phone either! Expat-friendly but they have a menu with pictures :) - tacky I know - but that should give you an idea that it's a no nonsense place. Loud music can make quiet conversation a challenge. They emulate typical street-vendor food from Mumbai, India. However, of late they have improvised a lot and now offer Indo-China fusion cuisine. Claims to have been featured in NY Times and Conde Nast Travellers. Not surprised! You can fly to Mumbai to sample this - but why? A trip to Edison, NJ should suffice. read more

This place used to be good for a while but then management changed ?! Not sure what happened but the consistency of the place went downhill. Food is still pretty decent and don't mind getting quick bite here and there but it isn't our go to for sit down meals. They seem to have raised prices after covid, not sure about that one since I haven't been to dimple for 6 months before pandemic happened. read more

Dimple's Bombay Talk - Cool tables - Indian Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

One of my fav place to pig out Mumbai style street food when I am visiting jersey. Here's a list of must try items: 1. Vada pav (it's a jumbo vada pav , my mouths already drooling) 2. Sczhwan fried rice 3. Hakka noddle (can ask to make it a bit spicy) 4. Paneer chilly - decent 5. Pav bhaji And few more dishes. They do have Jain items too. They have started outdoor seating during COVID. I visit this place during all my jersey visits. read more

I have been coming here for years and IMHO they serve the best chaat probably in the US. I recommend the Dhai Puri, Pav Bhaji, Surthi Kachori Chaat and you HAVE to get a dry fruit falooda. They also have a place in Bombay which I have visited. read more

Dimple's Bombay Talk - Plain Dosa - Indian Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

With it's vast selection of South Indian street foods and fun fusion items, Bombay Talk is an essential stop on every trip to Edison. Although "Tokri Chat" is an absolute must, read on for some items that might go unnoticed but are worth trying. Get the "Gobi Manchurian". You might roll your eyes at cauliflower, but after eating it like this you'll never smack talk vegetables again. Battered and fried, each piece is tender to bite into but still retains some cauliflower crunch. The sauce is incredible. Tangy, spicy, and full of onions and peppers. I'd recommend getting it with some dosa to wrap in, slightly blunting the flavor and making it more enjoyable. The "Masala Mysore Garlic Dosa" was delicious too, but the spread of masala was a little uneven. Heavy in some places, not apparent elsewhere. I thought with the sides it comes with, the extra masala was unnecessary. I'll just stick to my plain dosas, but it's worth trying once! The size of the dosa is so impressive, and it's light and crunchy throughout. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. We ordered take out of Indo Chinese food and it was terrible. Noodles and rice had used oil taste and no flavor whatsoever. The rice was mixed with soya sauce and veggies, THAT'S ALL. The Manchurian was over cooked and burnt. The spring rolls were chewy and tasteless. My nephew who picked up the food said it was busy and full no one answered our call when I called to report the quality of food. STAY AWAY. OVER PRICED AND DISGUSTING FOOD. read more

Great food and Great service by deepika. Would 10/10 come again. I recommend the kachori

This is my favourite Indian place in US. If I am in the area or even just passing through NJ, I always stop here. Really good and very authentic Indian vegetarian food. If your taste buds crave for the real Indian street food, this is where you should go. Superfast service ! The staff is very friendly. Chaats are the best. Tokri chat, khasta kachori and dahi puri are my favourite. Chhole Bhature are superb. Dosa is average, you can get better Dosas in a south indian restaurant. You should not leave without having falooda, especially Rose falooda! Reminds me of Juhu beach each time I have it. The indo-chinese food is also pretty good. Manchow Soup is great. So is the fried rice. Veg and Gobi manchurian are decent. I won't recommend the chinese bhel and pista kulfi (served on plate). The waiting times can be annoying. This place is one of the most popular on oak tree road. And their seating as well as waiting area is very small. I just wish 1. they had pav bhaji on their menu and 2. given the popularity, they should really consider upgrading to a bigger place so that they can take in more people, and have a better waiting area so people do not have to stand out in cold waiting for their turn. read more

Shiva was great. Super service. Very quick and great food. Love the pani puri and dehi puri and pay Bhagi. Yum. So fun.

Tokri chaat- absolutely love and still can't get over it. I'm still drooling while writing this review. The best tasting thing on their menu! Dahi potato puri- was the first to arrive at our table and it vanished within seconds. Chana Bhatura- It was ordered as a replacement as the rava dosa took forever (apparently the dosa guy was away) and I'm glad I had it! The Chana was flavorful and soft and the bhature was perfect! Pav bhaji- I think I have given this place 4 stars instead of 5 because of this dish. It was too tangy and lacked the actual taste of pav bhaji Rava dosa- as it arrived when it was time for us to leave the server said it was on the house. It was really nice and I wish it had arrived before when I was actually hungry and craving for some rava dosa read more

Bombay Talk is a good chaat spot to visit when in the Edison/Iselin area. I remember it being better but my last experience here was still decent. The tokori chaat is great and unique. I would skip the paneer kathi roll - not very flavorful and pretty dry. The mango lassi was also watery and not as thick as lassis should be. The gobi manchurian is very good. Good spot for a quick lunch or snack! read more

Get the Bombay Chat, it's absolute fire. Also highly recommend the masala dosa and Gobi 65

One of the reviews was complaining there's no meat here. Well, it IS a vegetarian restaurant. You can't come to a veggie restaurant and complain there is no meat! That said, really good South Indian VEGETARIAN food. The idili/vada comes with one idili and one vada. FYI. They don't serve coffee or tea for some reason, which I find odd. It has a hole in the wall feel when you're inside, you're not here for the ambience. Just cheap, good food that's prepared efficiently. read more

The food is okay, but the service is very very bad. I had ordered pav bhaii and had to wait for about 45 mins, had to remind the waiter to get the order. They were very busy and didn't care about being late with just one order. Won't go back there again. read more

Great place! Absolutely love eating here for authentic Indian food. The pav baji is a must-try

Everytime we are driving across Edison, we try to eat at a different Indian restaurant. This time we just wanted to indulge in chaats or street food. This place has a plethora of chaats to chose from and those photos you see here on yelp are telling the truth- everything is fantastic! We tried Chole Bhature, Basket (tokri) chaat and the stuffed Club sandwich along with Masala soda- and asked for thumbs up instead of soda. Everything was soo delicious! Loved the fact that they got an unopened can of soda alongwith the masala in a separate glass so that I could add as much or little and not lose the fizz! Definitely on our try again list! read more

So I was visiting my aunt in NJ the other day and like any regular Indian in the NJ area (our neck of the woods) I had to pay a visit to Edison (Iselin, NJ) for the usual Indian grocery and shopping. All this has, i mean HAS to be topped off at binge eating at one of the many Indian restaurants/ cafes... Since the time was between meals and we had dinner plans, so we stopped for a snack at Bombay Talk. I have been there a few times before I was a Yelper, so I dont remember details of my past experiences.But generally I had positive reviews of this place. Another Indian rule about going to Edison is that you must generally have a car full of people with you! We were 5 of us (have to leave some room for groceries in my truck :) But the good thing is i got to try quite a few things here. Here is my review (out of 5 stars): Tokri chaat - 5 Pani puri - 3 Mango lassi - 5 Sweet lassi - 2.5 Samosa - 1 Fried tofu - spicy but good - 5 Mysore masala dosa - 1 Onion rawa masala dosa - 1 Masala dosa - 3.5 Bottom line: Cons first - very small waiting area - can be a long cold wait in winters! Its generally always packed so you will have to wait - specially for larger groups Pros - Good food, and fast service. Makes me wanna go back for more :) read more

quality is not like before it went down before we feel like going every month but now may be we will go back we dont know when. service is still good. read more

I love the food here! It's reasonably priced and it always comes out tasting great. My favorites are the onion rava dosa and chole bathure. The onion rava dosa is so crispy, and if you add masala the potatoes inside are so flavorful and soft. Paired with the crispy dosa, you will be in heaven! The chole bathure is two deep fried pockets of dough, which are crispy, light and airy. They give you sliced raw onions, chickpea curry and a yogurt sauce that you eat with it. The combination is delectable!! I asked for extra sliced onions and they gave it to me. The garlic masala dosa is also good. The texture is crispy on the outside and soft and spongey on the inside. It is spicy! Very aromatic. I also liked the dahl puri. It's basically crispy hollow crackers that they fill with spiced cubed potatoes and on top they put crispy toppings, yogurt and chutney. It is savory and sweet and has an epic texture! read more

I've been to Bombay Talk II before and I visited this location a couple of weeks ago. A group of 9 of us came here on a Saturday night and had to wait about 10-15 minutes for a table. It was so cold that night and we were seated near the door, so I wanted to get some masala chai to warm up. I saw on the menu they wrote that it was only available for takeout on weekdays but I assumed this only meant that takeout was not available on weekends. However, I was informed by the waiter that they don't serve chai or coffee AT ALL on the weekends. Seriously? How is this even possible and why would a restaurant have such a ridiculous policy?? Especially in the winter! I stuck with water and was not at all happy with this but decided to just let it go and not ruin the rest of my meal. I got the Garlic Mysore Masala Dosa which was unique and definitely flavorful. The only thing that wasn't so great was that the dosa was cooked very crisp all the way through; usually there is a softer part in the middle of the dosa which makes it easier to eat with the filling but this was not the case. Their other location cooked it properly so maybe this was just a fluke occurrence but I'd have to come back and try the dosa again to be sure. For dessert, I got the thandai ice cream. They have a lot of unique desserts and I was very curious about this one since I love thandai. It tasted exactly like the drink and was super creamy. Delicious! I highly recommend it. Overall, it was a pretty good meal but the no chai/coffee thing and the way the dosa was cooked left me not so thrilled. That being said, I think it depends a lot on what you order and they may specialize more in North Indian food rather than South Indian. I'll probably come back sometime if I'm in the area and try some other dishes to make a proper assessment. read more

This is basically fast food Indian version. My wife loves this place. Have been com there for over 15 years. Still the same after all these years. I would suggest staying away from ordering Dosa here. Everything is fine. It's not fine dining but your also not paying through the nose. Just good old Indian comfort food. read more

I've never had Indian food like this. My Indian friend vouched for this place saying, 'There's nothing like this in the City, this is real Indian food'. So off the land of Jersey, I go! We toured little Indian in her blue Honda. Oh sweet suburbia, where adults dart in front of cars like skiddish cats and you are encouraged to do the same. Why- won't I end up in the back of ambulance, you ask? Nah, in Oak Tree Road, everyone expects this behavior. There was a plethora of Indian wedding clothes shop. You want a sari? Not enough jewels? You can buy the rainbow in a form of wedding outfits that have a weight range from two to seven pounds. We looked at traditional Indian jewelry: earrings with a dot of emerald inside a miniature lampshade of gold, bib necklaces in rose, pink, silver, gold. She ordered Litchee milk shake, rose faluda, Dahi puri, garlic masala dosa and chole bhature. Loved the litchee milk shake with the bits of lychee mixed in! The Rose Faluda was lovely to look at: layers of pinkish fluid and milk and tiny bits of bubble tea. I could not drink it down though: the spaghetti pieces on the bottom was not appealing. The dahi puri were refreshing crisp cups of fried dough filled with yogurt and sweet curry. Garlic masala dosa looks like a fried brown parchment paper enclosing an extremely important information: such as the Declaration of Independence. When you sink a fork into this document, you will find garlic yellow mashed potatoes. Delicious but not as educational. The Chloe was curry with chickpeas and bhature was fluffy mini basketballs which quickly deflate once you rip into it. This was a great array of Indian food and my stomach looked obtunded as fresh bhature. We paid our bill, took the leftovers and skirted around cars to view the various Indian sweet shops and grocery stores. The night came to an end, I hugged my friend goodbye and rode the train back to Manhattan, waving goodbye to little India or Oak Tree Road. read more

Not a fan of their junglee jumbo sandwich which can easily feed 4 people. At first the sandwich tasted ok, but after a few bites it all becomes a bit much. Sometimes less really IS better. read more

I had Dosa Masala and the best biggest sandwich: Jungle Jamba! The Dosa was done so crisp and had parsley distributed throughout the dosa. The seasonings in the potato were just marvelous although the sauces they came with fall a little flat. The sandwich was so huge. Please see the picture that I posted. It could easily feed three super hungry people or four just hungry people. We finished half and I was super hungry. I had to work on the dosa too. That sandwich was a beautifully chewy soft bread with a shiny hard crust with shredded veggies and cheese stuffed inside. This sandwich was cut into six parts. I only needed one part. Limca is not a drink that meets my taste expectations of lemon lime. I guess you have to acquire this taste. I think eating off disposable dishware is fun. read more

The pav bhaji was spicy and tasted exactly how my mom makes it at home. The only thing that was missing Amit butter, which would take the dish to another level. I received mini hoagie rolls instead of the traditional Bombay pav that made it unusual. The chole bhature was very tasty. The curry had a perfect mix of spices and chole (chickpeas) ratio. The bhature were enormous and fried to perfection; not too oily. Overall, this restaurant is more suitable for a lunch date or quick take out. read more
