What started as a purely supportive "I'll just keep you company" visit for a last-minute late…read moredinner with friends turned into a full-on food moment I hadn't planned for, and honestly, I regret nothing. The moment I walked in, the aromas hit first, followed swiftly by the sight of dishes making their way across the room. My resolve didn't stand a chance. I was eating. End of story. The menu spans both South and North Indian cuisine, and refreshingly - deliver exceptionally well. Everything we tried was well-crafted, but the palak paneer deserves a special mention. I have a personal rule about not ordering palak paneer outside of home, it rarely lives up. This one broke the rule entirely. It was simply superb. Then came the seasonal dessert. I wish I could tell you the name, but I was clearly too busy enjoying it to commit that detail to memory (lesson learned - notes app next time!). What I can tell you is that it arrived beautifully chilled, with just the right touch of sweetness. Absolutely worth whatever it was called [was a sort of pistachio something rice pudding] Having a South Indian restaurant this good just a two-minute drive away feels like a genuine privilege.

I have returned as I promised in my first review. The dishes I chose tonight were Shrimp Majestic,…read moreMixed Vegetable Kurmo, and Onion Kulcho. The Onion Kulcho was a nice flatbread with spices baked into it, tasty addition to the Mixed Veggie Kurmo which is now one of my favorite dishes of all time. Coupled with the Onion bread made each bite rich and flavorful. The Shrimp Majestic is amazing. Also a top ten choice I will absolutely enjoy again. I love spicy foods. I was only so adventurous settling on American Spicy. Yes, Biryani City lets you choose the spice level. While everything was amazing next time I'm going with Indian Spicy. I ordered delivery and used GrubHub and everything came nicely packaged. I'm in a wheelchair so I needed them to deliver to my door and they handled that wonderfully. Because I did delivery I can't comment on the restaurants decor or cleanliness but I am committed to visit them as soon as I'm back walking & driving. One thing I'll say is Biryani City makes incredibly flavorful dishes. I strongly recommend trying them out. If you're like me, you'll become a regular customer. Thank you Biryani City for enlightening me to wonderful foods of your culture.

My review is clear, honest, and actually very helpful -- especially coming from someone with a…read more**Hyderabadi biryani background**, where expectations are naturally higher. We ordered **Chicken Biryani, Malai Kabab, Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Chicken Sukka** for a group of three. Overall, the food **did not meet your expectations**, especially compared to other Edison biryani spots. You'd rate it **4.5/10** and wouldn't return. ### 1. **Malai Kabab** -- *Major disappointment* - Texture was **fibrous**, almost like overcooked white meat. - Required **too much chewing**, not tender at all. **would not recommend** it. ### 2. **Chicken Biryani** -- *Not authentic* - Lacked the **Hyderabadi dum biryani flavor profile - No "wow factor," spices not balanced, aroma not right. - Felt like it was made for a **more Americanized palate**. Too much Lemony taste. ### 3. **Chicken Sukka** -- *Moderate* - Not bad, but not memorable. - We had **much better versions** in other Edison restaurants. ### 4. **Chicken Tikka Masala & Naan** - Not highlighted as terrible, but didn't stand out either. - Overall meal didn't justify the visit. --- ## Overall rating **4/10** Not worth revisiting, especially for someone who knows authentic Hyderabadi biryani flavors. This restaurant simply didn't deliver the depth of flavor, aroma, or meat quality you expect. We use to eat Allentown pa branch , this place is no way comparable to it.

We noticed this one on our way back from our R-day trip to West Point. We arrived 30 minutes before closing, ordered 2 dishes and naan. Everything turned out great.

This will be a frequent stop on our future trips up and down this road to West Point Military Academy. The ambiance is great; the background music sounded a tad bit loud.

We were shown a table to sit and before we could sit, the lady told us that anything we order would need at least 20-25 minutes, since they cook everything from scratch. We said OK- looked at the menu and asked if appetizer like Bhel (which is basically a mixture and does not need any cooking at all), would also need 20 minutes. She said yes, it would take at least 20 minutes and if we cannot wait for 20 minutes, then this is not the place for us. We left the place and she did not even say a word. Service was non-existent, Ambiance is not something to even opine on, since it is a very small room.

Firstly this is solely an Indo-Chinese fusion restaurant- not an Indian restaurant with an…read moreIndo-Chinese section on the menu. What you wont find - tikka masalas, daals, vindaloos, kormas, naans and the like. What you WILL find is a much more expansive fusion menu with dishes you may not have seen elsewhere. Plenty of parking as this is in a newer strip mall. Lots of seating and quick service- our server was great at suggesting options as well. Baby Corn Pepper Fry- This was good, was hoping it was a dry dish as all the other corn dishes indicated sauce and this one didnt- but still was coated in a sauce. Corn was a little on the softer side but packed flavor. Schezwan Paneer (using their spelling) - Slightly crisp triangles of paneer that packed a punch with spice Gobi Manchurian Dry- while ours mistakenly came out with gravy they were quick to correct it. Hot and crispy with a flavorful sauce but by now all the flavor profiles were blending. Chili Hakka Noodles - I loved the smokiness but by now couldn't handle the spice. Wife's fav. Everything is spice forward- which tends to blur the flavor profiles after a bit. Still the servings are such that it's best to order a few diff things for everyone to try. White rice is optional and may help soothe some of the kick

The Mango Tree is a recently opened Indian restaurant that's popped up in Belle Mead in a new strip…read moremall in the Route 206 corridor between Hillsborough and Princeton/Montgomery. The largely positive reviews and wanting to try out a new restaurant led to this being the choice of dinner spot for meeting up with a friend. While nothing fancy, the interiors are bright and modern with plenty of seating. It can get pretty loud between the high ceilings resonating customer voices and music playing from a speaker with an uncomfortably high bass level. Their website menu online seems to offer additional items that didn't make it into their print in-restaurant menu, so be sure to ask about availability if you notice any discrepancy in items you want to order. We got mango lassis (3/5) to drink, which we saw were poured out of a huge jug (probably made earlier in the day). It was pretty average in taste and we felt it didn't use any fresh mangos in the preparation. To start off, we got the chicken 65 and onion pakoras as appetizers. The chicken 65 (2.5/5) was on the bland side and some pieces of chicken were kind of game-y, so we felt it wasn't good. The onion pakoras (4.5/5) were a unique and more stringy preparation of onions with flavorful chickpea batter, but the best part was that they drained the oil well after frying, so didn't have an oily texture to them. For the main course, we went with the butter chicken masala and a naan. The butter chicken masala (3/5) was pretty average with a thicker and more ginger-based gravy preparation (their online menu pictures a lighter colored and more tomato-based gravy which is what we would have preferred). The naan (3.5/5) was an ample portion and was tasty. While nothing was particularly bad, we felt all the food was pretty average and forgettable for Indian food in central New Jersey, and the ratings you find online for the business seem vastly inflated and not reflective of the quality of the food. The service (2.5/5) was not good as they use a de-centralized service model without a dedicated waiter checking in on you. While the employees were generally friendly and a team member did check in with us once during the meal, nobody paid attention come time to pay the check, and it took several minutes to get the attention of a staff member to get the bill and boxes for leftovers. Given the average food, inattentive service, and tacky/loud bass music playing, we probably won't be back to Mango Tree or be recommending them to others given other better options for Indian food in the area.

Perhaps the reviewer had…read morenever tasted chaat before and was so overwhelmed by their first experience that the impressiveness of the dish turned into a misplaced admiration for this decidedly mediocre outpost for North Indian snack foods. In any case, the chaat was good and I appreciate that they have the famous tokri (basket) chaat that's popular in Lucknow, with a crispy base housing a delicious mix of curd and papri inside. All of the chaats were generally tasty, although a bit on the sweet side - we tried the SPDP, sev puri, and papdi chaat. The chai was terrible, some sort of adharak doodh with no tea flavor whatsoever. We had to send the entire batch back to be replaced. Mains were mediocre. I first fell in love with Amritsari kulcha at kulcha king at Sarojini Nagar, and I'm always eager to order it when it comes up on a menu. But the kulcha itself was lacking some flavor and the chole was just fine. The bhature was a bit too crispy without any fluffiness for my taste.

We ordered two thalis, which were good. The spice level was moderate, not too hot, and overall the food was decent. I was especially excited to try the Hyderabadi Dum Biryani because it's rare to find a place that makes it authentically dum style. Before ordering, I specifically asked our server if it was actually dum cooked, and she said yes. Based on that, I ordered it and also asked for it to be spicy. Unfortunately, the biryani wasn't spicy and was pretty tasteless for me, so I mentioned it to our server. This is where the service really stood out. She was very nice about it, acknowledged my concern, and offered to replace it with Chinese fried rice based on what I was looking for. For a first-time visit, the biryani was definitely disappointing, but I really appreciated how well our server handled the situation. Good customer service can make a big difference when something doesn't go as expected, and that's what made this a better experience for us. Giving 4 stars mainly because of the service, along with the decent thalis and comfortable, spacious seating.
