Goat Pepper Fry - if you're a spicy-food lover, this is the dish you must order here…read more Due to family commitments, I couldn't visit this place when it first opened in my city--but better late than never, right? We went on a cold Sunday night, and to my surprise, the place looked completely deserted. It immediately felt more like a takeaway spot than a proper dine-in restaurant. The paper plates, plastic cutlery, and overall setup confirmed it. And yes--my guess was right. Their business model is clearly focused on takeaway / online orders / to-go, with very little emphasis on dine-in even though they have 6-7 tables that could seat around 28 people. It's just not their priority, it seems. Anyway, I ordered at the counter: Goat Pepper Fry I honestly can't recall having a better version anywhere. Rajni's version comes close, but this one wins in consistency and flavor. Absolutely worth it. Pachi Mirchi Kodi Biryani- Let's not call it biryani--because it's not. But as a dish? Fantastic. It's more like chicken gravy mixed with rice, and it tastes really good. but its miles away from being called BIRYANI. I'm a big mutton/lamb/goat and biryani lover. Most people hesitate to try goat at restaurants due to the smell, but I always give it a shot--knowing I'll be disappointed 70% of the time. This time, it paid off. Overall, I'd give them a 4/5, but: * I'm deducting 1/2 star for hygiene. Even if dine-in isn't their focus, the restaurant still needs basic cleaning. Tables, stands, and doors were visibly dirty. * Another 1/2 star for the paper plates and plastic cutlery. I can't enjoy biryani with tiny plastic spoons--they practically cut your lips. So technically it's 3/5, but that Goat Pepper Fry is such a highlight that I'm pushing it back to 4/5. I'll definitely be trying more items from them.

Food and atmosphere was good (though indoors I won't say it was anything extraordinary). If you're…read morea foodie, there is better, but for NJ cuisine, it's standard for "high end" What was disappointing to me was: the fact that I was there enjoying a nice steak dinner with colleagues, and I was saving half of my steak for my husband to take home. It had a side of roasted elephant garlic, which my husband absolutely loves, so I couldn't NOT save it for him.But the thing is, they took it away without asking me if I wanted to pack it or not. And I brought this up, not once, not twice but -- 3 times-- with the wait staff. When I asked one of the waiters what the manager said, He replied " I'm not going to lie, I don't remember" Before I left, I asked my server if I could speak to the manager-- The manager finally met with me. He said that he was "trying to find you to give you my card" because "he did hear about the incident and he feels really bad." Mind you, even after I spoke to the first person about this incident, we were there for close to another 30 minutes (at least). Sitting at our table, having dessert and drinks . No one came back to address the situation, no one offered to make another plate of food for my husband to make up for the food they accidentally threw away. He offered his card, but I declined because I will not be going back. Honestly, poor service and optics for a high-end restaurant, at best. If you're used to high-end haute cuisine and have an eclectic palette, I'd skip this restaurant. If you want "the usual" nice-enough restaurant with good with a decent-enough ambience-- this is a good-enough place. For me, a place like that-- with "standard fare" cuisine, should have above average service. That's where they fell short.

From the outside, there isn't much to give it away, but there's convenient parking right outside. Inside, it's small, clean, and neat, with a simple setup. We asked the staff what they recommended for someone trying Pakistani food, and the mixed grill was their pick. We also ordered papdi chaat, samosa chaat, and chicken samosas--although unfortunately, they were out of the chicken samosas. For our no-spice son, we went with fries and nuggets. The nuggets were crispy and, after a forced intermittent fast caused by missing several exits, he was basically in seven heaven. We also decided to try the biryani despite some less-than-great reviews. And Chapli kebab beef ( but we got chicken....). Apparently, biryani, nihari, and qorma are among the dishes you should try when exploring Pakistani food. The biryani had a good flavor, but ours was seriously short on meat--it eventually came back as a plate of mostly bone-in meat. The mixed grill was okay, although the Behari kebab had some serious heat. One bite and you felt the need to drown yourself in water just to survive. . The chapli kebab was good but just wrong meat.... For us, the highlights were definitely the papdi chaat, samosa chaat, naan, and the kulfi (which seemed more like an Indian packaged brand than something homemade). Overall, I'd give it 4/5 for ambiance, 3/5 for food, and 4/5 for price. Service improved when we asked for a few changes, and the staff were helpful. Not sure we'll be back, mainly because there are a plethora of other options nearby. But it served its purpose, gave us a taste of Pakistani food, and got us happily back on the road toward the DMV.

When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted to a dining room, full of patrons, mostly families. We ordered whatever is the best off the menu, of course the waiter suggestion weighed in heavy here. We started with the beef Bihari kebab which was cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and perfectly spiced. Personally, I wouldn't have minded a little bit more spice, but this was a beautiful marriage. For the entrée, we ordered some bread with the goat karahi and chicken biryani. The karahi came to the table, sizzling hot and was an absolute spectacle. The spices were absolutely on point and the goat was cooked to the bone, it was very tender and bursting with flavor. The chicken biryani was spicy just how we ordered it and had the perfect ratio of masala to rice. The rice was cooked beautifully and not clump together. This was a really solid plate of biryani. We obviously had so many leftovers and happily took them home. I ordered the pink kashmiri chai to wash all of this down. The owner was super friendly and we enjoyed talking to him very much. This is a small family restaurant in the heart of Edison dishing out some of the best desi food around. Make sure to stop by here and enjoy their many menu offerings. I cannot wait to come back!!

The sandwich was the most authentic I have had outside Miami and Tampa, pressed just right with the balance of pork, ham, pickle, and mustard that tells you they care. The croquetas were textbook, creamy inside with a crisp shell, and the coffee had that rich, roasty punch that makes you sit up a little straighter. What sealed it was the atmosphere. The room felt authentically Cuban from the music to the decor, no detail spared, nothing performative. We were the only ones there at 2 p.m. on a Saturday, which made it feel like our own little escape. Service was kind, prompt, efficient, and attentive without hovering, exactly how you want it.
