All the staff members were extremely friendly and warm. The food was absolutely delicious, with mind-blowing flavors. Every dish we ordered had a unique taste, and honestly, each one became a favorite. We tried the Fish Moilee, Kochi Special Chicken Curry, Malabar Paratha, Appam, Vellayappam, and Ada Payasam--everything was outstanding. It was especially kind of the chef to personally visit our table and check on how the food was, which made the experience even more special. We will definitely be visiting again, as many other dishes on the menu looked amazing and tempting.

It was meh- not awful, just not really really good. I asked for South Indian and received the usual sambar, rasam, (both were unbalanced with same exact flavor profile too much coriander) and that was the end of the South Indian meal- Tarka dal, which is always a favorite but nothing out of the ordinary, potatoes and paneer tikka. The second rice didn't taste like tamarind rice which is my favorite- but I suppose was some kind of biryani. It all was ok but don't think I'll come again- I wanted authentic South Indian flavor- and just maybe was served a gringo meal instead. .

We ordered dosa for our kids and lunch thali for ourselves. The food came out promptly and tasted good. The portion was nice and filling. They had unique flavors such as haldi ki subzi as part of their winter menu. We took that as take out. The food was a bit oily to our liking. But tasted very well. For thali, some of subzi felt refrigerated and not properly reheated and hence one star less. But over all I do recommend this place for some nice Indian food.

A weekday visit turned out to be an excellent tactical decision - no crowds, swift service, and…read morezero chaos. The chaos, however, was entirely self-inflicted: eight opinionated adults staring at a menu where everything looked good is a recipe for collective disaster. Our server, bless him, stepped in like a professional mediator and steered us toward some solid choices. The food arrived hot and largely delivered on its promise. Largely. The Poori Aloo, while perfectly edible, lacked a certain - as our Punjabi taste buds put it, rather bluntly: the oomph. The Amritsari Kulcha, meanwhile, seems to have had a bit of an identity crisis - it showed up tasting like an Aloo Parantha. For anyone who's had the real deal in Amritsar, this one may prompt a moment of reflection. Everything else, however, was genuinely enjoyable and the menu is a vegetarian's dream come true. Minor culinary debates aside, it's absolutely worth a visit.

The server told us that they were not serving any South Indian dishes because the kitchen was busy with catering orders. This was on Oct 25th around noon. I know I'm a bit late posting this review, but the situation felt quite unreasonable. The food we did order tasted good, but our choices were very limited, and we were essentially forced to pick from what was available rather than what we actually wanted to eat.

You'll never find us pulling into a fast food place. We love Indian cuisine (check) and vegetarian is quite fine with us (check); but if you like Indian food, this is the place to try vegetarian. The food was exquisite to the eye, nose and taste buds. The meat was not missed whatsoever because the taste was there. We could have been in India, as far as we were concerned. I hope this review drives you to this special spot.

Service was bad before and has t gotten any better. The young girl that came to serve us spoke no English and was bad and Hindi. I speak both and she couldn't talk our order. Another waiter rushed over to help. While the parathas were fresh, everything else was microwaved to heat. This does kill the taste of the food in the platters. Table water is not free. They charge you and provide bottled water. They charge a 12% service charge. And 3% charge to pay by credit card. Sadly, while the paratha are excellent, it is not worth the added cost. You can easily go to another restaurant for food with less issues.

As other reviewers have shared, the decor over the years has improved slightly, but I can't say this would be the play to go for ambiance. And in the setting of the many Indian restaurants in NJ, if you are looking for vibes, dining here would not provide that. As for the food, Khasiyat is known for their parathas and they are always good but definitely challenging to have for takeout. I am actually a bigger fan of their khasta kachori which comes in a generous portion and can be taken to-go with the components separated. Unfortunately, the challenge here is related to service. There have been many times that I have called in ahead of time to place an order for pickup and despite arriving at their recommended time, the food is not ready and I have waited up to an additional 15-20 minutes. If you're there during off-peak hours, that may help though this inconsistency has made it challenging for me to want to continue to go back.

The first time, my daughter placed our order for pick up and whoever took the order was rude to her. She has dietary restrictions and the employee did not have any patience and was very short with her. The next time we decided to eat-in. We were greeted graciously but it went downhill from there. Our waiter asked if we wanted anything from the bar and when we said no, I swear he rolled his eyes. My daughter had some questions and he mumbled his answers. She finally told him she has a number of allergies and she didn't want to leave the restaurant by ambulance. Then he decided to speak clearly enough for us to hear him. The previous time we picked up our order, we requested "regular" spicy which we had always done in the past. So either they ignored the level we requested or they have changed what they consider regular. It was painful to eat. This time we ordered "mild" and again it was difficult to eat. My only other option would be BABY MILD which as an adult I find insulting. I couldn't eat my entree but at the price I was not leaving it on the table. I brought it home so I could eat it with a glass of milk nearby and still my lips are burning. That never happened in the past. I also wish they would not use plastic bottled water. I don't know if they try to recycle them but most plastic bottles end up in the land fill. I prefer to support my local establishments but I am not throwing my money away. I hope they will be very successful in their new location and I will miss supporting them.
