    Tried their vada pav today it's ok. All who are claiming this to be best vada pav must try Desi Galaxy vada pav in Iselin NJ. Vada pav here is no where close to what you'll experience in Desi Galaxy. Within Jersey city this is a good vada pav but not the best.

    Dahi Puri (sweet). The best in Little India
    Amanda J.

    I guess the word is finally out about how good Nandoo's is. I can see four years ago Dahi Puri (my favorite) cost only $4.99. Two years ago it was up to $5.99. Today I paid $7.99, but it was worth it. The Dahi puri here is honestly the best I've found in Little India. There are layers of sauces and seasonings, all topped with fresh ingredients. It's a fine balance to keep the puri just a bit crunchy when it's drenched in green chutney, tamarind sweet sauce, and Dahi/curd. I love that each plate of this is made to order and dressed with chopped fresh red onion, fresh diced tomatoes, and covered in a nice helping of cilantro. The sev provides an added crunch that's needed with all the liquids. This is for sure a fork and spoon meal for me. This time I arrived after 6pm and I was told that chai was done for the day. I was also told samosas were done, but samosa pav was available...perplexing? (I'll take the upsell, just give me the samosa)! This is only a counter restaurant. There's maybe space for 8 people max inside. They clearly do good business with their to go. I waited about 15 minutes for my order to come up and about 6 couriers came through for pickups. Most people who order there, stay and eat at the counter. It's well set up as a fast food option. One tip is that it's more affordable if you pay in cash. Idk what the fee is, but cash also allows you to tip, which people eating in should consider.

    Doesn't look like much but it packs quite a punch. Quite a lot of university students visit this place. We stopped here for breakfast and picked up Grilled Veg Sandwich and Grilled Aloo Mutter sandwich. The food was INCREDIBLE. The produce were fresh! You can even taste the fresh butter of their breads. Overall, we were able to taste the passion in those sandwiches. I'd recommend this spot and for sure I will be stopping there again when am in the neighborhood. Would definitely recommend you support this amazing business when you are in the neighborhood!

    Food is as usual great but service is terrible. It feels like these ppl don't know how to run a business. The ladies there are very impolite, they are always understaffed, nobody picks up the phone there so you cannot order ahead so you are forced to wait for your order to be ready. If you order something like grilled sandwich or Pav bhaji then be prepared to wait for an hour for your order to be ready. The place is very small so you cannot have a sit down meal and along with that the ppl who come to the store are not mindful of boundaries and social distancing. Taking a detox from this establishment as well until they come up with a good business strategy.

    Dabeli

    They serve the best dabeli and vadapav in town. They are cash only so make sure to take cash with you when you visit them. Their dabeli pavs are spongy and the filing is so flavorful. The wait time to pickup your food is usually around 25-30 minutes after you have placed the order. This is the only place where my gujju craving for a perfect dabeli is satisfied!

    Amazing food, prompt services, polished the food in 15 mins, delicious! Overall had a great experience, would highly recommend!

    Nandoo's is hoppin!
    Grace S.

    Nandoo's is still popular and busy with the locals and it still gets 5-Star from me! My partner and I usually get Bombay Grill and Pav Bhaji and Chai (THE BEST!!) but we've also tried Chole Kulche (what I got tonight), Dabeli, and Samosa Pav before which are all very tasty. This is not a fancy sit-down place but everyone here is super hard working and friendly. I've always been greeted with smiles here and it's so clear that Nandoo's really cares about delivering authentic and delicious comfort food at accessible prices, unlike some other Indian joints on Newark Ave. that are only interested in squeezing as much $ out of naive tourists. This place is one of those hidden gems that I selfishly want to keep as a secret to myself but I genuinely hope Nandoo's continues to be successful, especially during this challenging period of Covid19, and I would recommend it to anyone in search of good food when in JC India Sq.! Just one suggestion would be the place is pretty small and can get crowded when everyone is waiting for their orders so please be respectful of other people and try your best to social distance. I usually make my order and either wait outside or walk around the block for 15-25 min while waiting for my order.

    Pani puri with ragda
    Zil D.

    Small place with a limited things in the menu. But all the things are made to the best. I would love going to the place again. I recommend this place . Especially the dabeli and the panipuri. They are also serving pani puri with hot ragda. Loved it.

    Located in Jersey City's bustling India Square, I came here with a friend to try their $21 weekend…read morebuffet. Upon entering the colorful and spacious interior, we were given booth seating. There were a large variety of choices for the buffet, and I tried a little bit of everything. It was all cooked well and wonderfully flavorful with tons of warm seasonings. Stand outs included butter chicken, noodles, curry, and tandoori. I would have liked more seafood options and meat other than chicken though. The Naan was served warm and slightly crisp, while still being soft. I decided to also order a drink called Shahi Falooda. Since I never tried it, I didn't know how it was supposed to look, even though I thought the presentation was a bit weird, as there were pieces of toast dredged in the liquid. When I tried it, there seemed to be all the flavors described, including rose almond milk, tutti frutti, and vanilla ice cream. It tasted creamy, sweet, and unique, with the ingredients mingling well together. Service was definitely lacking. When the bill came, it was listed as a dessert, so I inquired about it. The waiter responded that they did not have the beverage available, so served me something else instead. This really irked me that the waiter would knowingly do this without mentioning up front that they were out of the beverage, allowing me the free choice to either order another drink or not get one at all. The waiter then told us it would be taken off the bill, but a different waiter came out to inform us that the manager would not allow that. While the food was actually pretty good, this was a very upsetting experience and I will not be returning. At least this taught me to always speak up when I have a doubt or question about anything I order.

    I had this delivered twice it was so good. Navratan Korma and Tandori chicken were incredible…read more This is some of the best food be it Indian, Thai or Chinese. This restaurant is incredible.

    I don't know why people would say Dahi Puri Chaat is good here---I saw that in reviews on Google…read moremaps and so ordered via DoorDash since I had ordered food from a nearby kebab place. Anyway they didn't even actually make the dahi puri! They just put the puri with some potatoes dry in a container and then on the side gave tiny chutney containers for the yogurt, tamarind sauce & green chutney. Ok if you're putting it separately to avoid sogginess then at least give enough for the dish. It was laughable how stingy they were. Dahi puri is supposed to have LOTS of yogurt and instead this minuscule container of completely watery "yogurt" was not even enough to fill 2 of the puri. $10 plus tax & tip for this?? Also since they didn't make anything why did they keep the driver waiting for SO long? What a complete waste of money & time.

It's perfectly spiced and flavorful with a generous portion. It can easily be shared between 2 or 3 people. Overall, I plan on coming back when I'm in the area. The biryanis in Manhattan do not compare to this. I personally do not prefer the Dum style biriyani, so I was very happy the special was a regularly prepared dish. However, they do offer dum biryani as well.
