It's located right in the heart of everything, making it super convenient no matter where you're coming from. This is a must-visit spot for birthdays, anniversaries, or any special occasion. Dining here feels like an experience, not just a meal. The space is open, beautifully designed, and truly transports you--I honestly felt like I had been taken straight to Naxos. It's definitely on the upscale side, and you can tell they prioritize quality. We ordered several appetizers, and everything tasted incredibly fresh--from the fruits and vegetables to the meats. Our waiter was so kind and helped guide us through the menu with great recommendations. I ordered the steak, and it was cooked perfectly. But our favorite had to be the bread served with olive oil, olives, and hummus. It was such a unique and thoughtful touch--something we hadn't seen done quite like that before. And the hummus? Clearly homemade and unbelievably fresh. I'm usually not a hummus fan at all, but I tried theirs and absolutely loved it.

The crab fries are a hit!!! Plentiful crab meat -- more than enough in every single bite. Whatever…read morespecial/secret sauce he uses is absolutely delicious!!! The fried shrimp were fresh and BIG, not overfried jr dreadfully overbreaded. The crab fries are $25 - a bit steep i think but you do get PLENTY of bang for your buck!!! And i guess blame pricing on inflation, like everything else. The only items I didn't really care for are the regular fries (i prefer crinkle cuts) and the fried fish. Perhaps both didn't taste the best because I didn't consume them piping hot right out of the grease. But it's a food truck, i had to wait to get home to really indulge and dig in in comfort. The fried fish tasted old, under seasoned, and over cooked. The fries were bleh, just not good at all. The service is superb - polite and prompt. I will definitely go again!!

But I can smell the roast pork shoulder and knew it was recently cooked, we call it Pernil. I wanted some of that with your typical white rice and beans which had plenty of pumpkin. I started to reminisce of old times in the Bronx where you had many quick meal restaurants we call Cuchifritos where this dish was standard stable. I didn't order fried plantain, Tostones, or the sweet one, maybe next time.

It's a small space with just a few tables. Since we didn't live in the area we opted to sit and eat. While we waited several people came into get takeout or pickup. There was just the chef and the server. Both were nice and helpful. We ordered the Korean BBQ Ribs and the Southern Ribs. Hubby liked the Korean and I preferred the Southern. But both were good, I just found the Southern saucier and more tender. The NYC XXX Bacon was amazing!!! Love love love so juicy and tender with a touch of spicy. Korean Slaw was another fav that we ordered an extra to take home. Collard Greens were not bad, a little spicy. Cornbread was way too dry... hubby was fine with it. We enjoyed our meal very much. Will come back to try other items.

I came here for the chonut, and to my shock, they had it off the menu even though it was on the…read moreonline menu. They are trying to figure out a new donut supplier, so it'll be off for a while. However, the owner was heading out for an errand, and offered to buy doughnuts ad-hoc if I still wanted the chonut and I took him up on it! What service. Chonut: he got a Paris Baguette maple donut, which was a good level of sweetness. It wasn't warmed up at all and the bottom donut got really soggy, so I wonder how it would compare to their normal donut. I loved the combination of sweetness and savory - I'd get this again to see what a full potential donut sandwich could look like. Cholander Fries: we ordered this while waiting, and a solid appetizer with lots of flavors. We got the BBQ Sampler box, and they allowed us to replace the 2 ribs with pork belly instead. The pork belly was the standout - it's both very crispy and fatty. They also gave us a gochujang glaze sauce because they said it paired well with the pork belly, and it did! The brisket was good too and certainly benefited from the sauces available, as well as the pork shoulder. I thought the Mac and cheese was standard but the kimchi slaw wasn't refreshing although interesting.

I wanted my usual Indian but didn't feel like driving out of the way. So there's apparently this…read morenew place right on my drive home. Good reviews, let's go in. I went in, and the entire place is marked Self Service. You order at the kiosk and you pick up at the counter, whether dining in or taking out. Okay, fine. This was my first time. Staff is very friendly but difficult to understand, so I took my time translating foods. Settled on Manchurian paneer for the appetizer and a dry chicken (pachi mirchi kodi) biryani for my main course. Nice and spicy. I considered eating in vs. taking out; it's a modern bare place and there are several tables although nothing fancy (hard plastic and wood benches), but the main factor is that the drinks are overpriced. Maybe bring your own? Problem with the kiosk is that I can't just ask for water, nowhere to type in requests - though I do not recommend Parsippany water. Maybe the lassi is worth it but the cups weren't that large for $4 plus. One man's opinion. With that said, now that I've mentioned the kiosk, if you want or need to customize your order (allergies, add-ons, etc.), I do believe you can walk up and order in person as well. Spicy food home after multiple warnings. Verdict? Paneer: Less spicy and less crispy than I expected. Dipping sauces included, but at least one seemed like it was meant for the biryani. The white yogurt sauce I held onto. At least a solid portion size 3.75/5. Biryani: Meat buried under the rice. Good quantity, unique flavor for a "dry meat" dish that I had to look up. Spice maybe a touch hotter on this one. 5/5. Sauces: The brown sauce is thick and not spicy. Made it my dessert. White helped with the heat. Neither sauce was on the menu but they were thrown in with my order, which was nice. Verdict: Fun, convenient, and I'll keep it in mind to try some different things here as I pass every afternoon - but it's not dethroning my favorite.

We came here on a Saturday night for my cousin's birthday. We didn't make reservations so it was…read moreexpected that the wait for a table would be ridiculous. They told us at least one hour. We gave a phone number and walked to another restaurant in case a table opened up faster there. While we were waiting at the other place, the hosts at BS contacted us and said we're next for a table so we walked back. When we got there, there were two groups waiting and one of them were called to get seated. We asked how much longer and the hosts said that we had to wait another 15 minutes because they had to accommodate a reservation. It was annoying just because they called us and told us our table was ready and then had us come and wait - the other restaurant also had a table waiting for us but we decided not to leave because it was cold out and did not want to walk back. To make matters worse, a couple of guys came in, gave their number, and were called for a table in under 10 minutes. I'm assuming because they were a two-top. It was still frustrating. After returning, a total of five groups of people were say before we finally got a table. Onece we got our table, our server quickly took our order. My cousin had their short rib entrée with mashed and veggies. Her cousin had the power bowl. I ordered the short rib-stuffed shells. I was not expecting whya arrived to the table. It was blanketed under thick cheese, with what looked like, canned gravy poured on top. I tried it and parts were cold. I went for one of the "stuffed shells" and nothing was inside. The pasta tasted undercooked and the entire dish was bland. For $22 I would expect housemade gravy, tender short rib, stuffed shells, and salt. My cousin ate about half of her short rib entrée and her cousin ate about half of her power bowl, also complaining that it as cold. The food came out very quickly for how it's assembled, which also is a red flag. The server graciously took my order off the bill. I declined ordering anything else. We then waited for her to return so we could get the check. She disappeared. I had to go to the host and ask her to find the server. Another person came and disappeared, returning with our actual server. We got the bill, paid and left. I think we were charged gratuity and I wish I checked before paying because I think I got duped into a double gratuity. The vibe of this place is a mix between college kids and ladies' night for the older crowd. The music is too loud and everyone is screaming because they're competing with the too loud music. We could not hear ourselves talk. It was weird to be at a table and have to yell. In Westchester, we have places like this but it's still a restaurant and you're able to hold a conversation. This place doesn't know what it wants to be - A bar? A club? A restaurant? Parking was horrendous, but I did luck out with a spit right across the street. It's playing a game of musical chairs - you're basically driving up and down the street, hoping the car you're near is about to leave. This restaurant was a suggestion from a person that ended up bailing last minute and I wish we took that as a sign. Maybe I'd come back for brunch service but I'm not too keen on that.

When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted to a dining room, full of patrons, mostly families. We ordered whatever is the best off the menu, of course the waiter suggestion weighed in heavy here. We started with the beef Bihari kebab which was cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and perfectly spiced. Personally, I wouldn't have minded a little bit more spice, but this was a beautiful marriage. For the entrée, we ordered some bread with the goat karahi and chicken biryani. The karahi came to the table, sizzling hot and was an absolute spectacle. The spices were absolutely on point and the goat was cooked to the bone, it was very tender and bursting with flavor. The chicken biryani was spicy just how we ordered it and had the perfect ratio of masala to rice. The rice was cooked beautifully and not clump together. This was a really solid plate of biryani. We obviously had so many leftovers and happily took them home. I ordered the pink kashmiri chai to wash all of this down. The owner was super friendly and we enjoyed talking to him very much. This is a small family restaurant in the heart of Edison dishing out some of the best desi food around. Make sure to stop by here and enjoy their many menu offerings. I cannot wait to come back!!
