Had been meaning to update my review for Thumka Restaurant--and after hosting a milestone birthday…read morehere, I finally am. We had about 16 people for a semi-private gathering, and the setup worked perfectly. Huge thanks to Siya, who helped plan everything and made the process easy. The co-owner Sunil checked in to make sure everything was running on time, which I really appreciated. Service was on point--Tony helped us get started, and Roleen made sure everything kept flowing smoothly. Food-wise, everything delivered. The buffet was fresh and flavorful, and we added tandoori shrimp and lamb chops à la carte--both were excellent. Kudos to Chef and owner Ruby Bhalla The place has a fun, upscale NYC vibe, especially on nights with live music. Also appreciated the thoughtful birthday wishes from the team--it made the night feel even more special. Definitely a go-to spot for celebrations.

We found that the establishment had really gone out of the way to make it a super exclusive place but then forgot to get super exclusive staff in the kitchen.

I was here with my work colleagues a couple Nights ago and…read morewhile the ambiance was good, food overall was okay. When I travel to NY/NJ, I hope for a better tasting Indian food because of larger Indian population and popular destinations. We tried several dishes - peanut masala (was average); tempura cauliflower type veg appetizer (was not good at all - no taste), paneer app (was okay, nothing wow about it), chicken 65 was average too, noorjahan chicken app was good. But a side of chutney would have helped. My colleagues loved the smoked corn soup, but found eating corn cob quite weird. We had some variety of biryani too - veg biryani was good. Chicken biryani was just okay. While mutton biryani was good too. Service was good overall. I could see cocktails had pretty good presentation. Kulfi was liked by most of the colleagues. Moong dal halwa was good and presented differently. Was happy to see Caymus on the wine list, and enjoyed that. Overall good for one time visit.

Inviting ambience attentive staff and nowto the food . Appetizers Thecha Paneer and kothimbir wadi were lip smacking delicious but the seafood thali was a let down . Surmai fry was the only saving grace . The fish curry lacked the kokum punch and the sukkat ( dried fish ) failed to impress . The Rice Bakri was made well . But the combination with the fish curry was blah. Gulab Jamun was soft with mellow sweetness. Maybe their Maharashtrian lighter fare may be worthy of an another try . Will post an update if we tried it again .

Told them to make it spicy Vada Paav was dry Misal Paav was nice and spicy (our favorite) Paav Bhaji was mild and lacking in quantity Thecha Paneer was always very flavorful. Overall decent, but not worth remembering to come here explicitly

The entire experience - from the first time I visited and met with the Manager Teji to the time the Party concluded, it was a great feel. He was very clear about the options and made some valuable suggestions - for various aspects of the party as well as menu items. The decorators and the DJ suggested were also awesome and all-in-all made it a memorable experience. I would strongly recommend this place for hosting parties for up to 100 people especially if you like Indian and Indo-Chinese food.

Will never order from here again.

It's been there for a long time .. I remember eating here 6-7 years ago. I was passing by oak tree…read moreand wanted to re-visit them .. it was about 6 pm and I was craving for a quick tea and snack .. nicely located right in the heart of oak tree rd. Parking outside is good... it wasn't crowded and hence the billing and service was quick . There were some tables inside to sit and eat ... Was craving for mirchi bajji and it was pre made and kept close to the billing , so people can look at it and order . The only issue was, it wasn't. Fresh . Once I ordered , they took a couple of bajjis and fried it and brought it back . Very average bajji. It was soggy and not crispy at all. It tasted a bit sour and tangy. Just had a couple of pieces and threw it out , after coming to home . Would have returned it if I had a taste in the shop itself . Disappointed ! Also orders to-go malai kulfi and of course - they gave me mango kulfi . I couldn't return it and get my malai kulfi . But the taste of kulfi was superbbb. One of the best kulfis I have had in Oak tree area. Also ordered tea. It was average. Overall a very average visit . Will probably go back some day to taste their food .
