There is no dine-in experience with formal wait staff here, as it's primarily a take out counter, with a few tables should you wish to eat your food there. Knowing this, we did take out, and the lady greeting customers was sweet and pleasant, and seemed genuinely appreciative of my business as a first time customer. We ordered the vegetable pakoras, samosa chaat, and paneer tikka masala. The vegetable pakoras (4/5) were tasty, but probably wouldn't order them again as they lose their crispiness and get a little bit soggy when you get take out. The samosa chaat (4/5) was tasty and we enjoyed the presentation. The paneer tikka masala (3/5) was served in a generous portion, but the gravy was a tad too sweet for our tastes, as it's not nearly as sweet with other area Indian eateries. As the service was friendly and prices reasonable, I probably wouldn't mind ordering from Mama's Kitchen again to try out some of their other menu items, although I hope they modify their recipe a bit so their tikka masala gravy isn't so sweet.

These 2 meals and garlic naan was over $50. Disappointed that it didn't come with any sides but that could be my own ignorance. Accompanying sauces were delicious.

All of the above were true, and the food was quite good too. Each of us got a lunch special w/ Thai Basil Beef, and it was a good dish. I enjoyed the wonton soup and side of rice too, and it was a really great price for all of that. Service is pretty fast and friendly; the waiter switched our soup orders by accident, but when he came back to bring more stuff, he noticed when we had switched them, which I give him some credit for. Everything is nice and fast, no issues there. Inside, it's a pretty good amount of space, and nice decoration throughout. My friend and I both thought the door to get from the foyer into the restaurant had a really nice design. Everything in there is clean and nicely put together. Men's room was clean too - not very big, but good enough size.

"Where are you from" is not a polite question to ask anybody as a good book of manners might teach…read moreus. Thus, while service was reasonable, a person shouldn't assume anything about anyone: not these days, nor any era. To give each customer the benefit of doubt is the most basic of refined manners. The food, however, is well prepared and fresh in quality. The restaurant does seem to cater towards a more elderly audience based on the presentation styles and music choices. While the vegetables and shrimp dishes were clearly fused from different cultures to some extent, the fried rice might have had a bit too much salt as diabetes is on the rise these days--so we tend to choose lighter salt in meals. The pricing could also be more reasonable for simple and traditional choices.

The rainbow roll has no tuna, and one of the rolls I ordered without sauce was made with spicy sauce. I didn't care for it, and at least one order of shumai was never delivered. I tried the garlic sesame string beans which were fantastic, the pad thai wuth shrimp had 2 little shrimp and too much noodles, the sauce was a little off. My issue was being told we could take home leftovers for no charge to avoid a wasted food fee. Then the manager said extra $5 for to go boxes, so they can just throw food away. I personally don't care for sushi rolls that have too much rice, something spicy and not a lot of fish. Besides the Valentines roll that was not as described at all. I prefer Takumi in Sayreville.

We visited the Lawrence Township location, conveniently located right off Route 1, and even on a gloomy day, the bold red and yellow design instantly added a burst of energy. Their menu is packed with flavorful halal favorites including gyro, falafel, chicken, fresh toppings, and signature sauces, all customizable as a platter or sandwich. I went with the falafel platter and loved every bite. The falafel was perfectly cooked with a crispy exterior and tons of flavor, served over rice with lettuce, tomatoes, and warm pita bread. I added a little of their famous hot sauce and quickly learned they do not play around when it comes to spice. Luckily, the rice and fresh veggies balanced the heat perfectly. Next time, I definitely want to try one of their craft refresher beverages to cool things down. I ordered takeout, but the inside has a lively, modern atmosphere, and they even offer dog friendly outdoor tables for anyone dining with their pup. They have multiple locations in New Jersey, so check for your closest spot.

The free toppings are the onions and green peppers and tomatoes. The olives are extra. The falafel was a bit overcooked because they are fried from frozen and you have to request for the side of tahini. They don't just give you it. Service was great and informative on the options available for this event. Next time I do want to try the lamb Gyro mix with beef. Ambience the story of Halal guys is surrounded all over the wall so you can hear about and read about the start of the business and very yellow and red on theme with the franchise Halal guys.

The server did ask if we wanted anything to drink and other than the bubble tea, we didnt order any other drink thinking we would all get a glass of water regardless. That was not the case...I don't think people in the other tables got water either. Usually when I eat at a sit down restaurant, we are given water to start with and they ask if we want to other other paid drinks. Seems like you would need to order a drink including water in this place. Food: We ordered a few items here: 2 build your own poke bowls (one with spicy salmon as the protein, and the other with chicken katsu as the protein), chicken wings, a spicy salmon roll and a red bean bubble tea with tapioca balls. I love the fact that I was able to have chicken katsu as the protein because that really helped me get both my sushi and katsu cravings out the way. My husband had the spicy salmon bowl and he said it was delicious! My sister had the spicy salmon and chicken wings. I didn't love the wings but my sister enjoyed the wings with spicy mayo (ordered with sushi) and hot sauce (came with wings) and ate all the roll. The red bean bubble tea was interesting. It tasted just like red bean ice-cream. Unfortunately the Boba was hard and didn't seem to have been soaked in syrup since it didn't taste like anything. Ambiance - Place was a decent size...like a cafe feeling...great for lunch but nothing fancy.

It has an outdoor patio, which on Friday afternoon when I arrived was quite crowded. It has a very large bar area and since I was by myself, I just sat at the bar, even though I wasn't having an alcoholic beverage. I had an unsweetened iced tea with lemon, which they kindly refilled as soon as it was empty. I've been trying to eat healthy so I ended up getting the blackened grouper sandwich, but without the bun, and instead of the french fries I got a side of steamed broccoli with garlic. The fish was actually quite good and the broccoli was very freshly made in crisp with garlic. They have a pretty big menu with all kinds of food foods and the one interesting thing that they have here that you wouldn't expect is sushi and sashimi! Is located in a mall next to the Barnes & Noble. And it's my go to restaurant in that plaza whenever I stay at the Hyatt Place hotel next-door.

We waited 40 minutes to pick up a prepaid order, only to find out that although the restaurant had…read morereceived the order at the front, ongoing POS system issues meant the kitchen was never notified or sent the order. If these system issues are persistent, there should be a temporary process in place to ensure orders are communicated to the kitchen. The staff were already aware of the problem, which suggests this isn't a one-time occurrence. Management needs to address this so employees aren't left dealing with frustrated customers because of a known system failure. The staff apologized and offered to rush our order by moving it ahead of the others already being prepared, but by that point we had already been waiting 40 minutes, had children waiting in the car, and it was getting late. We ultimately canceled the order and requested a refund. This experience wasn't about the employees, they were courteous and tried to make it right. The issue was the lack of a reliable backup process for a known system problem, which created an avoidable inconvenience for both customers and staff.
