Big fan of their Allentown branch from my Penn State days, so while heading back from Peddler's…read moreVillage, we took a small detour to try their new outlet in New Jersey. Since it was around 5 PM, we decided to parcel our order. We ordered their famous mutton dum biryani. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a hit-or-miss experience. It felt like we were served an older batch -- the mutton pieces were dry and rubbery, and the rice lacked freshness. I know they are capable of making really good biryani, but consistency is what matters most. If the food isn't fresh, then don't pass it to us. Ambience was quite catchy -- a bright orange theme, a large restaurant space, ample parking, and clean restrooms. Overall: Disappointing this time, mainly due to lack of freshness.

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Jersey. Have been here a few times and the food and…read moreservice has been consistently good. My most favorite dishes here: Paneer Majestic, Baby corn Majestic, Soya Chaap Tikka, Kerala Parotta, Filter Coffee This time around we ordered their weekend special - Hakka Noodles which reminded me of the street style noodles we eat back in India. For mains, we ordered Paneer Butter Masala and Kerala Parotta followed by Dal Tadka and Rice. I must say everything was super delicious. Everything came in generous portions especially the appetizers. Server: Sahiti. She was awesome. She recommended us with some of the best dishes on their menu. BYOB Plenty of parking Some vegan options available Pretty flexible with customized orders

We got the…read morePav bhaji, bhakri pizza, Bombay veggie club sandwich, Ahmedabad masala sandwich and veggie Manchurian. The Manchurian was great - good texture and flavor. I wasn't a huge fan of the Ahmedabad sandwich - it was overpowered by the flavor of garam masala. To be fair, I ordered the sandwich at spice level "spicy". If it had less garam masala, it would have been a great sandwich. The veggie club sandwich was popular with the rest of the fam. The bhakri pizza is overpriced for what it is, and is made with that sweet pizza sauce that you get in pizzas in India (so consider this a heads up in case you're looking for a more western flavor). As I live nearby I'll give this place another shot and order something different from here next time to see if there's anything else I like. My husband did the pick up and mentioned it's got a fast casual vibe, and food was ready within 15 min of placing the order.

Long story short, after an international trip, the one thing my nieces craved was some Indian food. Well, they also needed to buy groceries from Patidar, so bingo! I've truthfully never come here in the past. We've purchased their mithai before, but never sat down to eat. This was a first for me and for my family, for as local as we are. My cousin is from PA, so this was an experience they were looking forward to anyways. With that said, the process is fairly simple and frill free. Place your orders at the main counter and you'll receive within maybe 5 minutes, 10 if busy. Competing with neighboring restaurants will require super fast service, so Mithaas fits the bill. We ordered a ton of items to share, including but not limited to: Dahi Puri Channa Bhatura Pani Puri Mooli Paratha Dosa I'm probably missing some items. Channa Bhatura is my personal favorite. This - like some others - is an Amritsari-based Channa. That's the best. It's a slight bit spicy, but worth it. The mooli paratha was quite a big portion size. Enough to split though. If you don't mind the no frills aspect to this place (drinking water from a water cooler, etc.), this is worth the experience and food. Also, you can be done with groceries and dinner in less an hour. How can you go wrong?

The last time, we stopped there for lunch during a summer weekday. We order three thalis. They were reasonably priced and a lot of food. And quite tasty too.

After what can only be described as a "strategic seven-year hiatus" (translation: my last visit…read moreleft a foul taste), I finally mustered the courage to return. And boy, am I glad I did! This place had clearly been doing some serious soul-searching in my absence. The glow-up is real - the decor, service, and food have all leveled up magnificently, making the place feel warm, cozy, and infinitely more inviting than I remembered. Our servers deserve a special medal - specifically for gracefully managing a table of enthusiastic Punjabi boys on their BYOB monthly reunion, who may have been slightly louder than the ambient dining experience. They handled us with the patience of seasoned professionals (and possibly saints). The food? Absolutely knocked it out of the park - hot, spicy, and bursting with flavor. The Egg Bonda stole the show, with Fish 65 and Angerey Chicken putting up a very respectable fight for glory. We even packed to-go boxes for the family. Verdict: unanimous approval. New meetup spot? Officially locked in!

They were a little on the small side though. Mutter Paneer - 10/10 well balanced and not too heavy. Sometimes the paneer is too tough but this restaurant made it perfectly. Sauce wasn't too thick either. Veg Manchurian with gravy - 9/10 very good. Definitely the best veg manchurian I have had in NJ Butter Naan - 10/10 excellent, light and fluffy with the perfect amount of butter Rice Kheer - 10/10 not too sweet. Rice was cooked perfectly and it wasn't overly sweet like it is in other places. They also serve theirs same with fresh pistachios on top. Goat Biryani - 5/10 the meat was excellent but the rice was meh. Wouldn't order it again After our meal they brought us Gulab Jamun Creme Brûlée complements of the chef, which was a great surprise. Not a combination I would have ever thought of but it works! It was delicious and light I had came here previously with my mom and was pleasantly surprised to find that they also had several creative vegan option as well. This time we were all meat eaters tho so we didn't have any of the vegan dishes. Price are normal for Indian food in this area. Service is also normal.

This is the new location of Bayleaf Grill, originally located in Highland Park that had amazing Indian food. We have ordered from you and goes out of our way to drive to Somerset even though now we are no longer in the HP area. The food is amazing - the aroma of the curry and everything about it is great but the portions are small, there's a lack of accompaniments like rice and naan are all extra charges. Which is okay but when you pay $16 for an entree you do expect to get a relatively full meal. My main issue with this place and the reason I will no longer order from here anymore is the timing of the orders. We have ordered a few times for pickup and each time they say 20mins... but usually after we arrive we wait an additional 30 minutes. Last time, my fiancee left and waited an additional 40 minutes before he picked up. That's practically 1.5hrs before we even got our food between driving there and back. I really love the food from here and I can't comment on the dinning service inside the restaurants (it does look nice) - but between the additional waiting time, higher prices (lack of accompaniment - rice / naan in their entrees) / smaller portions in comparison to others in the area, and just being overall further from where we are now. We won't be coming back.
