Our server was a pleasure and so friendly adding over backwards to make sure we had a great experience which we did so a shout out to Michael . Following the movie this evening, we opened up our dinner with shrimp, tandoori appetizer into the chicken, tikka masala, and the Bhartha, with a side order of garlic naan. Each dish was cooked to our specified spice level, had a lovely flavor profile. All in all, we had a wonderful experience . For those new there's parking out front it's so BYOB except credit cards .

We got chicken, tikka masala, palik paneer, veg biryani, and lamb vindaloo. Spent like $120 and I'm not happy with any of the dishes that I got. Threw away the chicken tikka masala because it was flavorless mostly just a heavy cream flavor. The lamb vindaloo is low on flavor as well. The palik paneer It's just OK. For the prices, I expected much better and do not recommend this restaurant to anyone. What a disappointment. Update ***Got a call from the restaurant and they said because i asked for mild heat they said they purposefully make the food bland. No offer for any kind of refund. What a waste of money.

    Madras Dosa is a casual dine-in and take out eatery in Princeton serving a variety of dosas (Indian…read morefermented lentil crepes) as well as other South Indian lentil based delicacies such as uttapam and pesarattu. They have a long list of unique dosa fillings including paneer, onion, eggs, Indian flavored lays chips, crushed samosas, and even meat fillings such as lamb, chicken, and beef and sweet fillings such as Nutella and strawberry jam. The items are prepared by the efficient staff known as "dosa jockeys" in an open kitchen with limited seating available. The dosas are delicious with golden crispy edges and tender warm filling. The canteen sandwiches are particularly unique and delicious consisting of three slices of bread with one in the middle toasted with melted chili cheese, shallots, and cheddar. It takes 25 minutes to prepare. We washed it down with sweet lime soda, an Indian concoction that is hard to find outside of India consisting of lime soda, cumin powder, rock salt, lime slices, and mint leaves.

    Finally tried this place after walking by all the time and it was just ok…read more First off staff was kinda rude and service wasn't the greatest even though it was a takeout spot. Decor is very hipster cafe for some reason?? Clean but off-putting for a dosa place Dosas were customizable which was nice but for some reason they were out of a lot of ingredients. Dosas themselves were ok, nothing to write home about and probably wouldn't try again

We would have been grateful enough for a warm restaurant and decent food, but I certainly didn't expect to find my favorite Indian food in New Jersey here (I know that's a big claim; it was just that good). Let's address the elephant in the room here: sometimes Indian food doesn't look camera-ready. For instance, my absolute favorite thing here was the chana palak, an extremely flavor-packed curry with chickpeas and spinach. What shows up (regretfully) as a greenish mud in pictures is actually an absolute flavor bomb in the mouth. Truly, I still have dreams about this dish. If looks matter to you, I also highly recommend the salmon tandoori special. It arrived on a sizzling platter (the kind that makes heads turn and eyes lock as it approaches the lucky table). There was more flavor to be had here, and I adore a dish that's hot enough to carry a blister risk while eating...especially in the middle of an icy snowstorm. Service was incredibly warm, welcoming, and efficient. Our server checked in with us the exact right number of times, and he repeatedly asked about whether we wanted to take leftovers home, the way a friend or kind auntie might after you've dined sumptuously at her table.

I am now writing this about to dig back in to what was a great meal. If you're in the Princeton area, Dvaraka should definitely be on your must-visit list.

The gentleman at the counter who received us was kind enough to bring over a cake with a candle, as it was my birthday and that with a mango juice we requested outside of the menu for our 2 yr old were both covered on the house. Now when it comes to the food, we ordered a Gobi Manchurian, Baingan Bharta with Naan and a plate of vegetable biryani. The Manchurian was cold and lacked salt that I had to request to have rest of the order served hot which was taken care. But we found the Baingan more oily and the biryani not being extraordinary (portion size was huge for two adults) But overall, they have great ambiance and the close-by parking is street parking which might be tight on rush hours.

He seated us ever so promptly. The iced tea was fresh and delicious. We got yummy chicken 65 & another chicken dish.... That was so amazingly flavorful and delicious. Entrees were chicken biriyani and palak paneer with garlic naan. Everything was garnished nicely. Such an appealing presentation. We were here for two hours.

The samosa was dry and flavorless. I paid for the pair, asked one to be wrapped up and it vanished never to return. Guess they'll reheat it and sell it the next chap. Frankly that's what it tasted like - reheated leftovers. But that was money out of my pocket. The chicken tikka was leathery and without my flavor. I asked that to be wrapped up and the next server refused. So he grabbed the warm skillet handle to push it towards me as if to ensure I understood my job. He didn't burn himself. I suggested he try again. So I dustily speared the dry chicken chunks and plopped them in the cheap styrofoam container he'd throw on the table then threw the stale cold rice on top. Voila. My thanksgiving dinner the next night. Topping off the experience was the shabby bathroom. I share pics. Hallmark for me of an eatery I won't rerun to is an unclean lavatory. Should have known. Mirrored the exterior entrance. Lack of care and maintenance. Also a couple came in while i was there, sat down but then ten minutes inexplicably left. The sole positives? Low key light jazz in the background and a homey atmosphere. But i could get that at home.
