Excellent food. Excellent service. Thai fried was very good. Chicken Manchurian was also good. I consistently come to Mogul Express anytime I am in town. read more

-This place always hits the spot -Always consistent -High quality in taste with reasonable prices -Wish they expanded out to more places through NJ read more

I visited after a while to this place. I ordered two curries for me and my partner. One of the curries seems to be a frozen take out. This restaurant is selling the frozen curries after heating. What a mess. Never expected such a bad business ethics. read more

Hands down one of the best punjabi food available at Oaktree road if you like punjabi food. Tried the dal makhni , goat kadhai , chicken makhni n garlic naan and they all were really good. Cant speak for the chinese or south Indian food as never tried them here. read more

My family has been coming here for 15 years. The food has always been excellent and consistent. The menu is diverse and always has something for everyone's crave. read more

I like this place so I am not sure why so many negative reviews. I have eaten here many times either during lunch or dinner hours. They have great south indian and indo-chinese food. They have good combinations of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food. My favorite are masala dhosa & Chilly chicken. This place is also lot cleaner than rest of the fast indian food places on the oak tree road. You order the food & pay for it-- and then pick it up from the counter so you don't have to worry about the service. You can also pick how spicy you want your food to be which is very helpful and good. They also have great selection indian sweet, try gulab jabun after your meal. They also have Paan! read more

Stopped in here on the recommendation of a friend. He recommended the WINGS OF HEAVEN which we agree are heavenly. Hard to describe but think General Tso's Chicken still on the bone, butterflied. Quite flavorful and delicious. Also had the Chicken Chili and the Chicken Tikka there. Enjoyed all the dishes. Portions are not large but the quality is there and they are consistent which is great. Am a regular now. read more

They are always closing ..... Like we went on 7 pm. Sorry we are closing the kitchen in 30 minutes. What? Decent food. Mithas , their sister restaurant has better deserts . read more

Wish I could give this place 0 stars!!! Absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with Indian food. Common diner food is better than this. We tried it 3 times. First was great, second was ok but we thought let's give it another chance and the 3rd time was awful. $90 of food in the garbage. Chicken tikka masala looked nothing like it should. It looked dark and had no taste. Almost like a cross between butter chicken and chicken curry. The biryani was awful filled with garam masala and ALL THE CHICKEN ENTREES HAD CHICKEN WASTE AND GIBLETS AND SKIN IN THEM. Even though CHICKEN tikka masala is supposed to have white meat chicken breast pieces ONLY. Awful awful awful! read more

Service was alittle below average.. Long wait.. The food was amazing you should definitely try the aloo Chana chatt, it's delicious!

Food here was just plain awful with some horrible aftertaste. Not to mention the veg hot and sour soup was way too spicy and hot for my mouth to handle. Although the ginger garlic chicken was delicious and the chicken biryani was ok. I guess because this is a restaurant chain, thats why it sucks. read more

Food is good but service was very very bad. Called in an order at 11.15 am an told them that I will be there at 12.15 to pick up the order. Order was for 5 fried rice, 4 haka noodles, 3 chili paneer and 3 veg in garlic sauce. I reach there at 12.20 and to my surprise they tell me that my order will be be ready in 10 minutes. I wait for 15 minutes and ask them about the order and they tell me that they just started to make my order. I was furious as I had to reach at a party at 12.45 and here I was still waiting for the order with no idea when it would be ready. When I posed few more questions about the the delay, I was told 2 things it's a big order and hence it takes time to prepare and we opened at 11.00 so it takes time to set up. From my analysis of the answer I can only conclude that either they don't know what a big order is it they are lying about the whole thing. I At 12.50 I was given the order (1 and a half hour after I placed the order and after 30 minutes of my arrival to that place). I asked them a question - if I would have come with my family to eat over here and if I would have placed the same order, would it still take 1 hour 30 minutes for the food to be served? His answer was it would take the same time to cook. I don't buy into that as I have been to this place and they do a decent job. My only issue was why were they not accepting that they screwed up and apologize to me for the whole situation rather than coming up such lame excuses. Pathetic. read more

Great tasting food. Good price points. Crowded during dinner weekends. If they can find a way to manage and streamline the crowd, can give 5 stars. (Use technology like pagers..) Also bought mithaai. Healthy and tasty. read more

Food is good and thats the reason I am giving one star else this place gets 0 star for customer service and how they treat customers. We went there around 9:10 in the evening and we realize that the place closes at 9:30. We sat on a table and a server walks to us and said rudely that dine in is closed and only take out is open. We said fine, we will order take out. While we were looking at the menu to decide, the same server comes back within a minute when we did not even have a chance to look at the menu and said take out is closed too, again in a rude way. It was not even 9:15. read more

While it wasn't bad food, my complaint is two fold. It's pretty expensive for the amount of food that you get. I paid nearly 10 dollars for a few THINLY SLICED pieces of eggplant in sauce. And of course lots of rice. Taste wise it's fine, but the portions to me seem more appetizer size... My other complaint is that when they want you out...boy do they make it known. This is NOT a place to go for a sit down lunch or dinner with some who you want to eat slow, talk, and enjoy time. They sort of make it known that they want you eating and getting out. They start taking away your stuff very early, asking you if you need anything else. and just not being as receptive once you've finished... read more

I don't understand how, but every single thing on the menu is DELICIOUS. I've tried countless Punjabi dishes and Indo chinese dishes and they're all perfect. The spices are well balanced with a nice kick. With Punjabi dishes, done restaurants use the same gravy for lots of different dishes. Not this once, each dish is distinct and authentically crafted. It's my goal to try everything on the menu. Definitely returning! read more

About one of the best chicken tikka masalas around. Outstanding little contempo-fast-food Indian places. Sorely underrated....

Good food but prepare to wait 45 to 1.5 hours to get your food after you sit down. Best to go in for buffet.

It was a nice place but lately not sure what happened the food quality is going downhill. Tried non veg and veg both dishes, but did not got the same feel. Even though it's the same company as Mithaas in N. Brunswick. 3 stars for naan and chaat. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but this place was too terrible to not inform others. It took them fifteen minutes to take my order when I was behind two people, and when they did, they messed it up. It's supposed to be a fast food-esque place, right? You know, because they have express in the name? Wrong. Even after taking 15 minutes to get my order, it was another 20 before they got my food out. You would also think that because they took so long the food would be half decent. Wrong again. Sub-par at best. I got the chicken masala dosa and my brother got the onion uttapam. Big, but nothing to brag about. Don't expect to see me again. All-in-all terrible service, mediocre food, and two unhappy customers. I warn those of you who choose to make the trip. read more

I heard a lot about the restaurant which brought me today to this place. As heard about the restaurant, food was amazing. South Indian food was beyond my expectations. Staff is also very friendly and always take care of you on the expectations on the food. read more

I would like to give them 5-stars, because this place is very good for the price and what they offer. The staff is reasonably good, however, I see the same faces at all hours, so I understand if they occasionally get frustrated. I have not had bad experience, because I avoid busy times and days. The interior for the price is superior. The food in my opinion is much better than average. My favorite is chicken tikka masala. Wife likes their Chicken Hyderabadi too. They have decent Indian Chinese e.g. Chicken Chilli or Machnurian, The south Indian is not bad. The indian sweets are good. The naan/roti and Biryani are good as well. What I don't like is consistency. While it has shown consistency now over 80% of the time, once in a while I am disappointed I find myself shaking my head on occasion when the dish that I generally love tastes different. These places are highly dependent on their chefs, and if the chef has taken a day off or called in sick, the quality on that day can be compromised. If I owned the place, I would put a disclaimer on such days, rather than disappoint customers. :) read more

Below average food. Staff more interested in chatting amongst themselves. 2 stars for the lime soda, actually good and refreshing

Have no idea where the average 3-star rating comes from. This has been our favorite "fast" Indian restaurant for almost 20 years--back when we lived in NJ, we visited Edison frequently and always stopped by for lunch / snacks. Now, whenever we travel from/to NYC / Newark Airport, we try to time our trip to stop at Moghul Express. The food is clean, tasty, prepared fresh on the spot--and the last couple of years, the level of professionalism and customer service is now comparable with any high-end restaurant. As vegetarians and connoisseurs of "Indian Chinese," this our favorite restaurant of that genre outside India... and pretty much any guest we've taken there has loved it. (Recently, I took a number of non-Indians there for a quick business lunch and they loved it--"Drums of Heaven" seemed to hit the spot.) A hat tip to Gulzar, who went out of the way to make our visit pleasurable... read more

The chinese is ok ok. South indian go to sarvanna bhavan. North indian and chat - with resonable prices go here.

I've been coming to this place for years, since this place was nothing but a little stand-up eating joint with a huge window where you could see your masala dosa made in front of you. They've since renovated the restaurant and removed the kitchen to the back and enlarged the dining area in favor of seat-in arrangements vs the stand-up kind. But one thing that hasn't changed is the quality and flavor of the food, hence the reason why I still patronize this restaurant even years after I moved out of NJ. I especially like the Indo-Chinese dishes (my favorite are the manchurian and chilli dishes), and the masala dosa always comes out perfect for me: crisp crepe with perfectly seasoned potatoes filling, and the sambar is never too spicy so as not to overwhelmed the overall taste and flavor. I also give kudos for the service that's always prompt and curteous. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a good Indian or Indo-Chinese food. read more

Excellent consistent food Hugh opportunity to improve customer service. Be raedy to stand in slow moving long line, take number in wait for your food for 20 minutes. Recipe to loose repeat customer. If they had fast turn around, I probably visit them every week ! read more

We went 7 people . there was 15% service charge(sur charge) . we chose this restaurant because we wanted to save 15% service charge which restaurant rasoi charges for more than 4 people when we always dine in. But , it turn out that there is no benefit in that sense. Rasoi has better atmosphere for that 15% surcharge. Further, they charged 2 dollar more for malai kofta than written in menu price. I think so it was intentional error . However, food is very delicious so as good quantity . when you compromise for atmosphere which you can get better at rasoi You save money on rice as they provide jira rice with no extra cost. summarizing it was very good taste , good quantity . If they remove 15% service charge as it is not luxurious restaurant and there is no error in invoice this restaurant would be my first choice .Currently I love ala carte of Rasoi even if similar taste as there i get better atmosphere read more

I have been going to Moghul Express for over a decade. I have found the food to be excellent and they have maintained the taste and quality over the years. I have at some point eaten nearly all the dishes over the last decade or so I have been going their. Of course me and my family have our favorites - Drums of heaven, Chilly Chicken, Chicken Manchurian, chicken Makhani, chicken kheema / Shrimp dosa, Chicken Biryani to name a few. This is not to say that I have not had any issues. On a few occasions I have had to complaint on the taste - being to bland to being a bit on the spicer side. On all these few occasions they have taken the criticism and ensured it was not repeated. This is a place you get good quality food for a good price. Last but not the least the staff provides you with a great comfort feel. Always polite and knowledgable about the product they sell Moghul Express - Exceptional Food for Exceptional Value. read more

This place is everything I want out of an Indian restaurant. It's not your typical lunch buffet place -- they specialize in dosas which are similar to the French crepe but is crispy and made with rice and black gram. I've had dosas before but none came close to the one I had here. The texture was crispy, chewy, and the filling (masala) was spiced just right. I also ordered a samosa chaat, which was great. I only wish they included more samosas! read more

Well, unfortunatley this isn't going to be good.....I had my wife order some take out and on my way home from work I stopped by to pick it up. This was probably the 10th time, that we've either eaten in or had food to go. When I returned home and my wife microwaved the food and plated it and we dug in quickly. We ordered the Szechuan Chicken, Fried Rice and Garlic Naan. I was through my plate and my wife turns to me and says "what is that?"....Well, in the Szechuan Chicken she found a small roach in the sauce. We went through the rest of the containers and that was the only one we found. We didn't call the restaurant. What more can I say? read more

Really good food, and great quality service.The staff is very courteous and service is pretty quick.

Some of the best Indian food we have had! The employees were a great help in that we are not Indian and some of the foods we were not sure of what they were. All the food was cooked and spiced to perfection. I can't wait to come back. read more

Ideally I will give them a 4.5 start, but since I have a choice between a 4 and a 5, then definitely a 5*! Note: We just have experience in their catering. The food we ordered (for ~ 40 people) was possibly the best Indian, Panjabi (restaurant style) food that we have had in New Jersey. All our guests loved the food. Next, we will try their take out for lunch or dinner. read more

Came here the other day to get dinner takeout. They were very friendly on the phone, (my phone is hard to hear from) so they were very patient through my constant requests to repeat themselves. When we got there, we waited in line for a short while and the man at the register kindly greeted us, and helped us pick up the order. Compared to other Indian restaurants and their attitudes, Moghul Express is serene. The food was awesome too. Ordered chicken Hyderabadi with extra spice and they delivered! Would definitely go back again. read more

Worst experience ever! This place was the perhaps the absolute worst dining experience I have ever encountered! I strongly recommend you do NOT waste your time or money with this place.We will never go back It took 45 minutes for two take out dinners, completely unacceptable! the staff is abrupt and rude. the kitchen is extremely slow preparing meals. They did not have items that they list on the menu. The chicken is tough and tasted microwaved. They did nothing to make the long wait more pleasant. I even asked if we could have one of our two orders of naan bread while we waited and they would not accommodate our request. read more

I would not even give it ONE star. I remember it being a pricey but a really good place that served delicious Indo-Chinese. Now, it's pricey & pathetic. The food is horrible...the sweets were below par too. read more

Food is good but service isn't among the best. The number listed is either wrong or they just don't care about the telephonic order. I usually order on phone beforehand so i don't have to wait half an hour to pick up my phone. After 2 calls nobody picked up and here I am waiting half an hour for my order- which is a turn off if you are me. read more

Pathetic and rude manager. Had to sadly leave the place without even eating food. Overall nice ambiance and looked crowded

Simply THE best Indian food on Oaktree Road in Edison. Whether it's lamb kabob or their succulent lamb chops or Dosa or chaat food here has the best flavor and spices and is always cooked to perfection. read more
