    Chilli Gobi
    Jeffrey L.

    My friend and I went for a short hike at Cheesequake State Park and later decided to go for a late lunch in an Indian restaurant. We checked on Yelp the nearest Indian restaurant and came across Hyderabad Spice in Matawan. It was a decent restaurant offering both vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus. We got the Chili Gobi as a start which is cauliflower seasoned with spices. We had also Goat Biryani- bone in goat meat, black pepper and spices. The food was wonderful, the goat biryani was so good and flavorful, the basmati rice was cooked and seasoned perfectly. This is so far the best Indian restaurant in NJ if I may say. The place is clean and cozy and the service is good. I will recommend this place to friends and will definitely go back to try their other menus. TIP: Indian Cuisine is known for being spicy, if you're not fun of spicy foods, upon ordering you may request for a mild one.

    I haven't had Indian food in awhile. I can wonderfully say this restaurant was a great place to reintroduce my tastebuds to Indian cuisine! Me and one of my oldest bestest friend randomly decided to come here. We both live far so we always try to find restaurants between us. When you walk in it's open. Place is cozy and homey. The owners and servers were ridiculously nice! My friend and I loved their hospitality, their kindness, their attentiveness, but most especially their patience with us! We haven't seen each other in awhile and we got to talking/gossiping. For an app we ordered Paneer 65. It's lightly battered paneer in a chili sauce. I'm not going to lie, when they gave this to us I was a bit scared of how red the color was. But in all honestly, it was spicey at all!! It had a little kick to it which I appreciated! We also ordered garlic naan which was fantastic! Who doesn't like carbs with garlic and butter? My friend ordered the lamb biryani - I had a bite along with some lamb and yogurt sauce. And omg, it was so good! It was heavily spicy, but she asked for medium spice. I ordered the butter chicken which came with basmati rice. This dish was also great and wonderfully spiced. Prices were also not bad at all and very affordable! I appreciated that! The portions were pretty good as well! My husband never had Indian food at all. I decided to start him off with biryani since it's an easy introductory food. When I got home he literally ate the whole thing. He absolutely loved it and he wants to go here now! Everything tasted great, the spices were on point and woke up my taste buds, but most importantly everything complimented each other perfectly. If you are in the Matawan/Aberdeen area I would definitely suggested this restaurant! I will definitely be coming back!

    The food here was amazing! You can really taste the difference! They told us they make all their spices from scratch, and it definitely shows. The restaurant was super neat and clean. One of the owners came by our table and was super friendly and welcoming. He took the time to talk to us about the restaurant and the food, which made the experience even better. Everything we tried was full of flavor. Honestly just a really great spot with great people and even better food. Highly recommend!!!

    A clean restaurant, though most people seemed to be picking up takeout. The food didn't take long to come out, and two dishes was the perfect amount for two people. We ordered medium spicy for the eggplant dish, but we could have gone higher, as it was just a touch spicy. The tikka masala was standard. But all around a good place for Indian!

    Long overdue for another amazing review. We had originally visited the restaurant a few weeks after they opened. And ohhh my. Amazing is an understatement. There's not one single dish we have not loved. The owner has also ordered for us with his recommendation for both on and off the menu dish. Service is incredible. Love the attention to details with presentation of dishes. If you aren't an experienced "spicy" food person I strongly recommend getting mild spice. We have brought the kids as well and they are huge fans of the kids dishes and the regular menu! The whole fish is my go too dish. Please see my pictures from our meals here, they speak for themselves.

    Very lovely place with a lovely new owner. I came here during a holiday weekend for Muslims. This place opened up a few months ago and it was near my hometown so I decided to try it out. My family and I got Lamb biryani, chicken samosas, and garlic naan. The food was wonderful. The rice was cooked to perfection and seasoned with just the right amount of spice. The platter was filled with fresh chunks of lamb that was cooked to the perfect temperature. Their non-was light and fluffy and still held warm on the ride back home. We order takeout and it took about 25 minutes for the food to come out. They originally told us 15 minutes and because we were waiting a little longer the owner gave us 2 cups of mango lassi which was amazing. He even wished us a happy holiday which was very sweet. I would highly recommend this place and I'm ready to go back and try more things off the menu!

    HS Special Chicken 65(RRR)
    Felix E.

    Decent-sized family owned restaurant with plenty of great options (vegetarian and non-vegetarian). Decoration-wise it was very simple, a few paintings, a dimmed light and live flowers on the table which felt a bit romantic. The food was authentic and the flavors were top notch. They make you feel at home as soon as you arrive and they are very accommodating on spice levels (xtra spicy for me and mild for my wife). My favorite play was the HS Chicken 65, it had so much flavor I could've eaten alone. The Biryani was so soft it felt like I was stabbing a pillow. The aromas were amazing and could only be bested by the flavor. Easily one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in NJ!

    Fave Indian food in the Aberdeen area! A go to for my family's random Indian food cravings. Hyderabad Spice has a good rating for a reason. Service is quick and ambiance quite cosy. I have never dined in but looks really nice inside. Not usually too big a crowd inside although probably a good idea to have a reservation for a large group.

    We were welcomed as soon as we came in by a polite young lady. She seated us and promptly got us…read moremenus and water. The menu is extensive and has many gluten free options. The group had the chicken korma, butter chicken, chicken seekh kebab and tandoori chicken. All the entrees were shared and everyone enjoyed each dish. The flavor and spices were great! The butter garlic naan was amazing! We were pleasantly surprised with a small dish of rice kheer. The sweetness was the perfect ending to a delicious meal! Many people came in to get takeout while we were there. We would definitely consider this option in the future. Definitely check this place out if you enjoy Indian food!

    Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and found park behind the restaurant…read more Was greeted and seated with my group. We had a great server her name was Reese. This was all our first time eating Indian food and Reese was so helpful. Reese explained the cooking. methods and seasoning of the best selling dishes, she made easier for us to pick our appetizers and main dishes! We started with the lollipop chicken, garlic shrimp, and butter garlic Naan. The shrimp were out of this world with the creamiest sauce to dip the Naan. WOWWWW explosion of goodness. We shared different dishes for our mains, we had butter chicken, tandoori chicken, & chicken mango curry. Our mouths were having a party of outstanding flavors never had before. Each dish was unique the butter chicken was the best one for us all. The tandoori chicken was super flavorful served on a sizzling fajita dish. The mango chicken was a perfect hint of sweet and tangy. If you ever wanted to have Indian cuisine and not sure where to go, look no further than Aangara for the best experience! Oh yeah they are BYOB
