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

    My son and I had lunch on Sunday (3/1/26) and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We were greeted warmly…read moreand given menus and had ample time to decide: we chose a shepherd salad and cheese rolls for appetizers (and were given a balloon bread); Dave had Iskender kebab and I ordered lab pide (and took lahmacun home). The food was delicious, and the servings were generous. Efsane is a big space with ample seating, and nicely decorated. There is plenty of parking out front. It has a great vibe to round out the picture. I plan to return, and recommend Efsane.

    COME HUNGRY! I came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday with my husband's family…read morerecently. There were 6 of us and we split the Efsane Family Special for 4 people and added lamb chops thinking we wouldn't have enough food lol the special also came with dessert but my sister-in-law also ordered a rice pudding. The 6 of us could've easily had the family special for 4 without ordering anything else - there was so much food and we had leftovers to take home!! For context, we all eat a LOT so to say we had leftovers is saying a lot! Quantity aside, the food itself was delicious. The bread is served fresh and steaming hot, the dips are delicious and flavorful, meat is seasoned and cooked perfectly (the chicken shish and lamb adana are my favorites), and the bitter black tea and sweet baklava are a perfect way to end the meal. I left there stuffed and so happy! The staff was also very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

    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!

Safe parking spot. After we parked and walked up to the restaurant we entered the restaurant where we had pre booked a spot for us. Well it's not a very large restaurant and there isn't a lot of space inside. But the decor is good. We ordered some shrimp and bhindi ,naan, chicken golguppa etc etc. food was ok ish! But the price isn't . It's like quite expensive. And the monkey head where they served their check was broken ! Sorry but not sure if I wanna go back again!

The kadai chicken was really flavorful. I didn't get a chance take picture of the garlic naan that we all got but that was tasty as well. I will definitely be ordering more Indian food from this restaurant.

    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!
