    Nice addition to Main Street! Paratha was really good and went well with the paneer butter masala.

    I visited Four Monkeys last weekend with my family & we absolutely loved it! Dining out with…read moremultiple food allergies can be tricky, thankfully the team at Four Monkeys was very responsive and responded to my email correspondence immediately, assuring me they had options for us. They did not disappoint! My son ordered baby goat curry & enjoyed every bite! We also ordered Bandar Butter Chicken and Tandoori Pomfret. The butter chicken was better than I expected, I'm not usually a fan, but this was excellent! Flavorful and not overly creamy. My favorite dish of the night was the Tandoori Pomfret, it was divine! Cooked to perfection and a decadent curry base. The staff was incredibly helpful. We worked with the Manager, Pankaj, who went over the entire menu and helped us decide on a safe dish for my son. He then confirmed our choice with the kitchen before placing the order. Pankaj checked on us multiple times to ensure we were enjoying our dinner, the extra care was greatly appreciated. Thank you Four Monkeys for a delicious, safe dining experience! We can't wait to return & we're already planning our visit to your sister restaurant, Dhamaal, in Montclair. Thank you!

    A little shop in Summit serving up delicious Indian fusion…read more Apps: The cauliflower koliwada was ok, a spicy carrot mash with peanut and chili crumble; it cooled too quickly, I think and that made it soggy instead of crunchy. Flavor bomb burrata was amazing - on top of a naan, tomatoes and green garlic chimichurri with a fresh burrata and what was like a very sweet spicy honey on top - delicious. Sadly they were out of the truffle chicken masala. We opted for the butter chicken - also delicious and rich. Palak paneer - always nice to see the spinach version. Very good. Both were great with the garlic and butter naans... sopped up with the naan or rice, delicious. The 'Rarha' Lamb Chops were ok, overcooked until the bone crumbled so a bit hard to pick up, cutting it was a bit tough, and the mustard-tumeric potatoes were very good but heavy. BYOB. Menu completely online and somewhat hard to see -- bring a big phone. Street or muni lot parking. Servers were pleasant but often busy cleaning up - a bit of dropping things all night - customers knocked over their lights, dishes fell, glasses broke - I felt like it was a Jewish wedding with all the wares falling on the floor mid-way through dinner. Portions are solid and they also gave to-go bags for the leftover naan and boxes for the leftover dishes.

    Had a great Indian Buffet lunch here. All the food was so good that I forgot to take pictures. What…read moreI loved about the buffet was the many options and opportunity to try lots of different Indian foods. Also the salad section included of bunch of options too which I don't often see on smaller buffets. The space is big and roomy. The staff were helpful and quick to take empty plates away. We will definitely be back. My only feedback is it would be nice to have a few more veggie options on the buffet.

    Wow, what a turnaround for Cinnemon…read more I still remember this restaurant being my first buffet experience in the USA back in 2014. I visited several times between 2014-2017 but hadn't been there in years. Yesterday, I finally got a chance to revisit with my colleagues. Heard it had been renovated and expanded with new dishes It was a quiet weekday evening, and we were greeted warmly by the owner, Prabhakar. We had a friendly chat with him about the recent renovations and the new additions to the menu before settling down. We ordered Papdi chaat Samosa Paneer chilli Achari kebab Sharabi Kebab Malai kebab Paneer tikka Methi Chicken Chicken tikka Veg Kadai Malai kofta mixed bread Yes -- it was a lot of food, but we were starving! The food overall was great. A couple of dishes could have been better -- for example, the Paneer Chilli could have been softer, and the Chicken Tikka Masala - like it should have more taste/ flavor -- but the Malai Kofta and Methi Chicken more than made up for it. The Kofta was rich and perfectly balanced, while the Achari and Sharabi Kebabs stood out -- flavorful, well-marinated, and cooked beautifully in the clay oven. Overall Great experience! Note: They also serve the buffet on Sunday nights, which is definitely a plus!
