This is a hidden gem in Piscataway. Nothing fancy and small restaurant but the main highlight here is the food and the owners. The most important we learned was that everything is made fresh and nothing is refried or frozen. All the dishes we had had authentic taste to it reminded me of food you find in Mumbai. Vada Pav were fresh and pav was super soft (wasn't sweet as they make their own pav). Misal pav was amazing too. It is hard to find places where the focus is on providing fresh food and thats the reason the menu here is small. Good luck you owners and keep doing what you are. read more

This is a fairly average restaurant for the items that are on the fast food/snacks menu. Big thumbs up for the freshness of the food. Apart from that, the food tasted a bit on the average side. I had vada pav and egg bhurji pav, pictures attached. The vada pav was decent; for a change it was like the once served in Mumbai on plain pav with dry garlic chilli chutney. The egg bhurji was mediocre at best. I am a novice cook and I get make similar bhurji. The ambience is average as well. The business is geared more towards catering/take out and hence not much is done to spruce up the dining area. The service is great. I do believe the owners are in it to provide quality, fresh food to the clientele. If you are craving Maharashtrian food and prefer from the entrees, maybe you will have a better experience read more

I was so excited to know that there was a restaurant serving Malwani cuisine in NJ so I went the last time I visited NJ. However, I was kind of disappointed with the flavors of the things that we tried. We tried kothimbir wadi, Kombdi wade, malwani chicken curry, and fried surmai with fish curry among the 3 of us. All of this food was a staple weekend food for me when I was back in India but the restaurant food did not meet my expectations. I will definitely return to try some of the other dishes that I have heard are good and hopefully it will be a better experience. read more

We recently got chance to try Mejwaani and it was worth the efforts to drive. We really appreciate the staff for accommodating our last minute Togo big order without complaint. Must try - Bombil fish fry, aluvadi, solkadi , puran poli read more

My new favorite place. The food here is so fresh and extremely authentic. The Misal Pav and Thalipeeth make you feel like you're in Mumbai :) Totally worth the 45 minute commute from Jersey City. read more

First snow of 2017 with Mumbai style Vada pav. Absolutely Loved it!! Will be trying out more items soon!! read more

Authentic coastal Maharashtrian cuisine that reminds you of home & childhood feasts. Absolutely love this place.

Amazing food! And amazing people.. most authentic Maharashtrian and malvani food that I have had in the US! Their surmai, pomfret fry , crab curry , shrimp curry is worth dying for. Also, snacks like bada pav and misal pav are amazing! They have kept it real and didn't change the indian way of making food which makes it super awesome. My sister and her friends come from all around the US to eat her, they haven't found a restaurant this good for malvani food. Absolutely love everything on the menu... And off the menu too. They take special orders too and it was mind blowing! And.. the woman who cooks the food is amazing!! She has magic in her hands!!! Absolutely try their panha and pan ice cream!!!! read more

Ordered food for the house function, thinking its an authentic Maharashtrian food. But we had a really disappointing and bad experience. They messed up so badly with the order (Esp. Bharle Vange & Veg Pulao) that no guest touched it. And at the last moment, we had to order food from another place, Very frustrating experience & Last-minute hassle and waste of $$$ for a catering order. I would not recommend this restaurant at all for catering of big function. The Owner is not even courteous to call back or acknowledge or apologies for the mess up, just given the excuse that he is busy with something and call you back ??? !!! ** ZERO ** REVIEW read more

Food was ok. Many items were Too sweet and clearly they had used sugar instead of Jaggery.

Food was delicious and service was great! Our main waiter took the time to explain the dishes and gave excellent recommendations! Vegetarians and carnivores have a good selection where the level of spicy heatof food can be adjusted. Ambiance was comfortable. The scent of spices was strong when you enter. Overall, a place I would surely recommend for those who like Indian food. read more

Highly recommended for Maharashtrian cuisine - my favorite is the Spl Mutton Thali. comes with kheema as app, sol kadi and a gulab jamun as dessert. Served with 2 rotis and a healthy serving of rice, it often stretches into two decent meals! their panna (raw mango) drink is fabulous too, as was their thalipeeth. Their pitle was so-so. took some friends along, and they all thoroughly enjoyed the food. Fried surmai - yummm! the veg food was pretty authentic too - puri- bhaji and shrikhand - thumbs up all the way!do try their very crisp onion bhajjiyas too! Service - very good, even when every table is full and there is a line of hungry guests, waiting for you to vacate your table! all in all - definitely worth more than one visit - been there at least 4 times in 2 months. it helps that the owners are usually present, Hope they manage to keep up the quality of food and service - and not tank like every other Indian restuarant, which cannot handle growth and heady success! read more

Went there second time and it was delicious. Had kolhapuri chicken and pomfret fry with solkadi. This is a amazing joint. You should probably let them know in advance if you are above 9-10 packs and have few special requests. I wanted to try clams and crabs but will do it next time coz it's not something readily available. The owner is very friendly and takes a good care of you. This time had a little bit of hassle as there were lot of customers and had very few helping hands. But the food is worth the wait. You can't miss it.. If you are seafood lover you should try it. read more

Mejwaani - The life of fisherman :) :) pomfret at its best... must try. - Indian Near Me - Edison NJ, New Jersey

This restaurant has a nice spread of veg and non veg dishes including sea food dishes that are all quite good. We were a big group and came in on a Friday for an early dinner and glad we did coz the place got very busy after 7:30pm. We tried several dishes, chicken kabobs for kids, surmai fry, zunka bhakri, kombdi vade, all of which were good. I give 4 stars because there is definitely room for improvement in some dishes. It's a small place with few tables but it's clean and the ambience is tastefully done. The food came in promptly and the servers were courteous and kind. I do believe the owner interacted with us and was friendly and nice. All in all, we were happy customers and would definitely go again but may be do take out instead of dine in. read more

I've never had a perfect batata vada in this US, and the one here was everything I craved for, they got it perfect! I have been missing home cooked Maharashtrian food and this place took me closer to home with every dish and bite. The staff was super friendly and accommodated our chaos really well. After a long day at the beach this is what we needed, THANK YOU! read more

We ordered, kombdi wade, pompfret , bombil fry, surmai plate, wada pav, jhunka bhakri, Misal , alu wadi, karwas and solcurry. All just makes you feel nostalgic. Great food, great service. 100% for authentic Maharashtrain Food. read more

The closest it can get to food from home. Simply amazing. 1. Vada Paav : Simply beautiful, made me miss home more than ever. 2. Sabudana Vada with the chutney was absolutely perfect. 3. Fish Fry : Very good, no fishy smell at all. Felt very fresh. 4. Special Chicken Platter : your typical home cooked Chicken Curry. 5. Kharwas : Dont think there is any restaurant in the US which serves this. A must go. Would give 10/5 stars if possible. read more

I feel like every time I order from here it just keeps getting better!!! I am vegetarian and I love Indian food. I like to order a few different snacks and a chaat. Everything is just so fresh and tasty. I love to try new things and I also have my go to items. The samosas are amazing. The chutney tastes so fresh. I cannot stop raving about this place. Order the food then tell everyone you know. Also delivery is usually super fast so the food is hot just like it should be! read more

Best place for homemade Indian style cooking and Authentic Maharashtrian cuisine . Try out their platters . Tip: call them before you intend to go there and place an order. Very simple and good quality place read more

Went with really high expectations. The food was on a average side. Misal was good. Wife liked puranpoli as well. Had a bad experience with Shrikhand puri and bombay sandwich. Shrikhand was sour and Bombay sandwich was not well made. Half toasted, and the vegetables seemed to be falling apart. read more

It's always the best! Maharashtrian cuisine served at its best! Varali chicken, mutton sukkha, modak, fish fry, thalipeet, and it can go on and on. And you don't need a menu to order food here, just name your favorite maharashtrian dish and they will make it. It's home away from home Must Have: Varali Chicken, Vada Pav read more

Mejwaani - Taliche and ukliche modak + Desi ghee - Indian Near Me - Edison NJ, New Jersey

The taste of the food out here takes me back to my home town. The cusine of this restaurant(Maharashtrian cusine) is actually home food for me. One of the very few restaurants where they prepare seafood the typical Maharashtrian way. To mention a few prawns rava fry, prawns curry and stuffed pompfret fry. Also they have komdi vada available too. The good thing about this place is the food is fresh and so is the sea food and hence if you are visiting in larger groups you need to inform your order so that they get the fresh seafood. They also have a ton of vegetarian options too. I would surely recommend this place to my friends read more

Go here for an authentic Maharashtrian cuisine experience. The food is outstanding and the service is even better. It feels like you are visiting a family for a meal. We ordered almost everything from the menu, literally everything and almost everything met our expectations. The Solkadi was delicious and vada pav took me back to Mumbai. My husband had the Surmai and Pomfret and he said they were outstanding as well. All in all we had a very very pleasant experience. read more

The greatest compliment I could give the owner the other day was that the food was close to my grandma's style of cooking! Super authentic Maharashtrian flavors. Puranpoli was divine...so light and well-balanced with the flavors. So were the kothimbir wadi, zunka bhakari, sabudana wada. I would definitely visit this place as many times as I visit New Jersey. read more

The food here is good. Though not amazing, it does taste freshly made and authentic, but is pretty overpriced. Considering the poor ambience and the fact that they give you extremely small portions, which they serve on styrofoam plates (bad for the environment!), adds to that sentiment. Also note that not much service is available and there are signs in the restaurant to bus your own trays. I came here with my parents for dinner. My mom and I ordered the goat platter ($20) and my dad the surmai fish platter (forgot the exact price, believe it was $18 or $19). In both mine and my mom's goat curry, there was a huge inedible bone that had no meat on it. Very strange. Almost looked like it was dropped into both bowls to make the volume look larger. A small portion of rice was served with every meal; not nearly enough to eat with the curries. The dessert portion of gulab jamun was stingy, too. My advice to you would be to bite the bullet and cook dinner at home rather than eat here. Two stars for the food, since Marathi food is not available in most restaurants, and that's it. I personally would not return. Pros: -Authentic, home-cooked Marathi food which is good, but not particularly outstanding, especially considering the cons below Cons: -Poor ambience -Limited Service -Small portions for the price read more

Love the authentic vadapav and missal pav here! A nice family run restaurant who serves food with love. We also like the dabeli and zunka bhakar - yummy authentic Maharashtrian food! read more

We have visited this place about three times...and the food is okay. Only came here because my husband wanted to check out the only Maharashtrian restaurant in our area. The first time we went, we had to wait about a half hour as there were very few tables. He had tried the Chicken and Fish curries and they definitely reminded them of his moms but the flavor was still a little lacking. I've ordered Misal Pav and Wada Pav but neither were the best. My expectations for such an authentic place were high. Maybe because I only ordered the vegetarian items? In addition, it looks like a mom-n-pop type of place. Run by a husband and wife. They are definitely genuine people. They definitely care about the customers and ensure that you like your food and are enjoying. The wife does the cooking and the husband does the serving and the front end of things. They do need to maybe redecorate in there and add more seating area and also try adding maybe a server or two to help out. This will help bring the place more. Definitely give this place a try once! Maybe the non-veg eaters will enjoy more than I did. read more

Amazing Maharastrian and Konkani food. Unfortunately we tried it during Covid and did a take out. But surely enjoyed everything we got. My personal favorite was the pomfret fry. Fish curry was yummy too. Looking to try few other things on the menu. read more

Supriya and I was in the search for Maharashtrian food and we stumbled upon this restaurant. We have travelled from PA to visit this place. This place is way beyond what we expected. First of all if you looking for some great non vegetarian food this is the place to be. It had the touch of Maharashtrian food and we were so glad that we ordered TO GO too. We ordered kothambir vadi, varhadi chicken, kheema pav, kombdi vade and veg thali. I will highly recommend this place if you are looking for a change. Please make sure to call before you visit; cause the tables are reserved most of the time. Please plan accordingly. read more

Came here on a friend's recommendation. Unfortunately I had a poor experience with the wait staff, who were very rude.

Go to place for non veg Maharashtrian food. Goat and fish platters are definitely to try for. Good hospitality too.

My wife and I had lunch last Saturday for the first time at this place. We ordered the Chicken and Surmai (fish) thali. Food was freshly made, tasty and reasonably priced . Service was brisk inspite of the busy hour and many guests arriving with no prior reservations. There is limited seating capacity and the restaurant is not yet fully designed to serve more than 10-12 dine-in customers at a time. However, had a good overall experience. One of the few restaurants in NJ to serve freshly made 'home-style' food with no frills. read more

Amazing tasty food ! The vada pav is the best, so is the solkadi. You cant miss out on the surmayi fry ! The misal pav, kombdi vade, kothmbir vade, moong dal halwa are all very good. All in all this is a must visit, this is the closest you can get to Indian food in NJ! read more

Food is tasty I have 4 stars because portions are small We have pomfret fry, bombil fry. Both were good read more

We visited this place for an early dinner on Saturday. It was empty but we had heard great things about it. We ordered a lot of dishes including Kothimbir Vadi, Sabudana Vada, Vada Pav, Goat Platter, Fried Shrimp, and the Kombdi Vade. Every single dish was delicious. The spice level is on the hotter side but not crazy. The prices were fairly reasonable as well. If you are a Maharashtrian or like Marathi food, this place is a must visit. We will definitely come back. read more

This is a great place for authentic Maharashtrian food. I am rating this place purely on the quality of food. Their missal was amazing (slightly on the spicy side) and thalipeet as authentic as it can get. We also ordered a lot of apps like kothimbir wadi, alu wadi and wada pav. Everything was really tasty. Best dish was the freshly made puran poli! One suggestion for the restaurant would be to replace the water cartons with something better looking. I would suggest replacing plastic and paper entirely with more eco-friendly options. read more

Ordered thru Uber eats and food was ready on time for pickup. No attention given to customer walking in and the guy at the register yelled "Uber" to bring out my order after requesting. Food tasted good but pricey for the given smaller portions. Curry entree included small portion of rice. Not sure I would order again. read more

Pros- -The food is good and not too inexpensive -I had vada pav, kothimbir wadi, thalipeeth and samosa along with to go chicken Cons- -there is no menu and since the place is a catering place you get whatever is cooked on the day. -I was unclear on the cost of food. I was told that if I place an order a day in advance (especially for fish), they would cook fresh. The cook is Goan which is great! Overall, I enjoyed the food and the experience. Would definitely visit again. Suggestion- it would be great if the day's menu was printed on a board with cost. read more
