Food was absolutely phenomenal worth every penny. Service with a smile. Amazing ambiance, great music, good times. Will return... soon.

Little tricky location but everything else fell right into place. Very nicely done decor,Service was excellent and food was perfect just as it should be.Love that they do not use anything frozen which is a big plus and their yellow dal was over the top.Definitely it will be my go to restaurant in Toms River. read more

Poor Boys - Jalebi Churro - Indian Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

We ordered from here on Friday, and even with the reasonable pricing we spent over $70. The goat biryani was flavorful, but the goat meat was a little dry. The paneer tikka masala was one of the best we'd ever had. The veg was nice and soft with just the right amount of crispness and the paneer was soft and palatable. The butter chicken had a wonderful tomato flavor and was super creamy. The samosa chaat was also very good. We moved to the area 3 years ago and we hadn't found an Indian restaurant that we were really happy with. We are very excited to try everything on the menu here. Our family is guaranteed to be coming back as regulars to this establishment. Also - it's very brave to jump out of your comfort zone and make a different kind of cuisine (from the subs). We are so happy you are pursuing this venture! read more

My wife and daughter stumbled upon this amazing spot in Brick and could not stop talking about how phenomenal the food was. We went back the next week and I gotta say - everyone reading this: run, don't walk to this. The food is the best I've ever had, anywhere. I would pick out individual dishes but what's the point? Every single thing we ate was expertly crafted by the warm and welcoming staff and, for the budget-conscious, very reasonably priced. Go go go! Order or go in today and treat yo'self! read more

Poor Boys - Indian Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

I was looking for a local spot that could deliver easily and offer a variety of options to please a crowd, and I stumbled across this deli. To my delight, I saw they also had Indian cuisine on the menu--I was so excited! Now, I know it might sound unusual to some who aren't familiar with Indian food, why are they selling out of a deli?! lol but have you ever been to OakTree road in Edison? Lol Or for those still holding onto memories of what Poor Boys used to be. But if you're looking for food packed with incredible flavor, this is the place to go! For a business meeting dinner serving 16 people, I ordered a variety of dishes: vegetable curries, lamb, chicken, naan, lentils, samosas, and, just in case some of my partners were hesitant to try something new, I ordered wings and a tray of assorted subs with chips. To my surprise, the subs were great but were almost untouched--everyone was drawn to the delicious aroma of the hot food. Everything was an absolute hit, and I'll definitely be returning. It feels great to support a small business with both heart and amazing flavor. Highly recommend stopping by or ordering from here! Thank you Shashi!! read more

For those looking - just know that this place is inside what is currently labeled as Poor Boys from the street sign (a sub shop / conv store), also is home to an Indian restaurant / takeout. Anyone who knows me, knows that Indian cuisine is probably my #1 all-time favorite, so when I heard from a few folks that the local Poor Boys had re-designed itself into a part sub shop / part Indian restaurant, I knew I had to check it out. Especially considering that the local area has absolutely nothing like it. I've been here three times since discovering they sold Indian food, and have had the Navratan Korma, Butter Chicken, and Dal Tadka, all of which were perfect, and some of the best I've had within an hour drive. By default I believe they make most dishes medium / mild, but they're more than happy to adjust the spice level to your taste. Personally, I like mine somewhere between "hot" and "molten magma from a volcano", and I've yet to be disappointed. Most entrees come with a small side of rice, which is a really nice bonus (some Indian restaurants charge extra for rice). That said, I'd reccomend the garlic naan or roti to go with your dish, since it adds a lot more complexity than standard-issue basmati. Also because it's delicious. Don't miss this place, it's well worth a shot. A welcome change from the tons of Italian, Chinese, and Burger joints in town! read more

We read the reviews and decided to try it out. We ordered samosa chatt, dal makhani, and Chana masala. All three were great!!! The chef is an older man with 27 years of experience. They just opened last month. read more

Poor Boys - Lower-Samosa Chatt Middle Left - Dal Makhani Middle Right- Chana Marsala Top- Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

The menu was extensive. Had garlic naan and vindaloo chicken. I liked that the spicy level was offered. I had medium and it had a kick but not overwhelming. The lovely lady who served us kept offering more rice and naan! Was deli style but sat there to eat. Super clean! I will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent Indian food and a warm, welcoming staff. I didn't think I'd find good, authentic Indian food in Brick, and I'm so happy we found this spot right around the corner. My daughter ordered her food to a spicier taste than mine, and we were both happy. The portions were large and we took home the daal for layer, was delicious. read more

Surprising Indian cuisine, I'm a fan but my husband is not. I will try again by myself

So pleasantly surprised ! Tom's river is full of pizza joints and Chinese restaurants, so it's so nice to have something different. The place would not have been on my radar because of the location so I was happy my mother had heard of it and suggested it. Food was ready quickly and staff was very friendly. Portion sizes were fair for the price and everything was delicious! I would definitely say to check it out. read more

The food and the service were top notch! It is a deli with a new Indian kitchen. 5)3 Indian food was wonderful-subtle flavors very fast and fresh. Really delicious. The service was very friendly and accommodating. We were very pleased! read more

Finally! Great Indian food in Brick, NJ! Perfect for me. My son gave it 9/10. I'll give 10/10 for food and service but Ambiance is a work in progress as they morph into a full fledged India Restaurant. I highly recommend trying it. read more

Poor Boys - Menu - Indian Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

Great Indian food. I had Butter Chicken and hubby had Lamb Biryani. Both dishes were wonderful, tasty and made fresh. We ate in this spotless, well lit large shop. It is airy and the owner and family made us feel very comfortable. Note this spot also serves Poor Boy sandwiches. Enter mall immediately on the road after passing Affinity Care. And do go as the food is that good. read more

Just heard about it and decided to order some to try. the place is a corner deli shop with Indian food. You could smell the Indian food which I thought was great, the owner came right away to the counter and checked on my order. I'm glad I ordered to go before heading there to eat, it's really just for takeout for me, because they have few tables but again it's a deli so not really a sit down! The Paneer tikka masala was perfect and also Samosa's delicious! Will definitely be ordering again. read more

Excellent Indian fare. Sit and relax as each dish is made to order. A great place to catch up with an old friend while sharing exceptional multi nuanced spiced food. our "medium" heat choices were spot on. just enough spice but not over that razors edge. did I mention how lovely cardamom is? yes. fragrant fare but nothing is overpowering. The service was excellent. Just enough attention by a very well mannered waiter. Btw, it's upstairs in the building and there's an elevator to the left when entering the front door (which us a Vietnamese restaurant I think?) read more

At long last Brick has Indian food, and it's AMAZING! Poor Boys Deli And Indian cuisine is the perfect takeout place: Absolutely delicious Indian food for those of us who love it and great sandwiches, fries etc. for those who prefer that kind of thing. I got chicken tikka masala, samosas and garlic naan, husband got a roast beef sub and fries. for all of it! read more

We had the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, and chana masala. Everything was amazing! Finally, Brick has Indian food!!

I have been searching for good Indian food for a long time and had no idea Poor Boys also has Indian food! I ordered the samosas, roti, aloo paratha, and chicken tikka masala. All the food was absolutely delicious! I got the chicken tikka masala spicy and it didn't disappoint. The samosas are large and stuffed to the brim. My only complaint is when I called I had difficulty communicating and understanding him. I'm not dropping a star for that though because the food was that good and next time I will go in person and write down my order to fix the language barrier. read more

My son and I loved the food! It's awesome to have another Indian restaurant nearby. We had goat Rogan Josh ( from the special board) and mushroom masala - both ordered spicy n did not disappoint. We enjoyed that with rice and garlic naan - we brought home leftovers that were immediately enjoyed by my husband - with some still left in the fridge. We will be back - thank you read more

Excellent Indian -- these guys are great! I go there all the time for takeout. Don't let the fact that its a sandwich shop dissuade you.

The food is incredible. The portions are generous. The staff is super friendly. Will be back regularly.

Pretty good , no ambiance More of take out place. It's a deli owned by Indians , have regular food subs etc , but just started offering Indian food . I had a naan and chicken tikka . It was pretty good , good portions , good prices. Tasty ! Plan to try more dishes read more

In November I went to India and recently moved to the area from NYC where the Indian food is delicious. I was really worried about finding good Indian food but to my surprise, this place is great! I had paneer tikka masala and it was very mild in spice. Next time I will have to ask for spicier for sure! Looking forward to trying other dishes read more

The service and food were great. Delivery was fast and the food was hot. This is our second time ordering

Cauliflower appetizer amazing! In addition we had the dal makhani, butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, roti, and chili naan. Everything was cooked to perfection. Will be a returning customer!!! read more

Disgusting! Absolutely Gross!! I ordered an Italian Sub No lettuce. I got a mountain of yellow lettuce and soggy sweaty ham and provolone with wayy too much oil and vinegar.Zero Salam ior Cappicola..Just sweaty ham . My Dog wouldn't even eat it and he's a Rottweiler. The cheesesteak was just as bad. Do yourself a favour and NEVER eat here!!! read more

Amazing food, amazing service. The paneer bhurji is amazing. Chicken tikka is a must too.

We ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, butter naan and a buffalo chicken mega melt. The food was delicious! It was so fresh and so flavorful! We will be back to try more of the amazing Indian dishes they have! read more

Awesome local "sub" shop that is comparable to jersey mikes but with a lot more options. They have all kinds of deep fried sides and sweets to go with your sub. If your staying on the healthier side they can do any sub they have as a wrap or a "sub in a tub" which is just a sub with no bread and put in a bowl and served as more of a salad! Great customer service and reasonably priced compared to chain sub places like Jersey mikes. You can order online and pickup curbside if you do not want to go inside! read more

Great Service and even better food. I normally order my go to Turkey and Provolone Sub, but this time I tried something different the Chicken Cheesesteak. They made my sub perfectly. So Yummy! We Love it here!! read more

food is outstanding and service is great i love Indian food and this is great indian food

They are under new management but when I walked in I was so surprised is not only a sandwich shot but also an convenience store that's also stays open later now to help accommodate customers I think that is so great. My husband an I come for sandwiches every weekend can't wait until Saturday and they kept the same recipes !!!!!!! read more

Poor Boys has always had great food. The new owner is very nice and has added a b'fast menu. The best egg sandwich around!!!!

Service sucks I left my food out on the counter for 20 minutes what's a tuna wrap I just left Poor boys, and then pay for any food or nothing I wasn't happy customer read more

The product is good. They give more meat than Jersey Mike's. However, I felt like I got robbed walking out of there. These people charge 4% for you to use debit/credit card. 4%!!! Never coming back. read more

We have past this place many times over the years but never tried. Well the day came we needed something quick to bring to a friend that's recovering from back surgery but didn't want to disappoint and Poor Boys didn't! Diffidently we will be back! Full sub Italian. read more
