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!

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!!

Lower-Samosa Chatt Middle Left - Dal Makhani Middle Right- Chana Marsala Top- Garlic Naan

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.

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.

We tried several subs, all very good, maybe cook the bacon a little longer so it isn't soft. People were very nice

This restaurant located in Tom's river is one of the authentic Indian restaurants I recently…read morevisited. The parking situation was little challenging as street parking is available but limited or you can park a few blocks away near the tennis courts closer by school. There are also some paid parking lots closer by. The restaurant is located upstairs so you need to take elevator. They have ala carte and buffet options, but buffet is only available on specific days. As you enter the restaurant, the lobby area was well designed thoughtfully and very welcoming. As you enter the restaurant, the main dining area has nice vibrant colors all over the place and it is beautifully decorated. The staff greeted us and gave us a booth table alongside the windows where you can watch the downtown. The menu is great and we had good collection for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. We ordered appetizers as tandoori chicken, cauliflower 65, aloo tiki chaat. Then, for main course, we ordered garlic naan, egg fried rice and methi matar paneer. The food came at very good pace with the restaurant had five other tables occupied. Gobi 65 - it was more towards saucy than dry side like most of us would have expected, but it still tasted good. Tandoori Chicken- was cooked perfect and tender and presented great. Aaloo tikki chaat is probably the best of the appetizers. Presentation and taste was fantastic. The extra filling of malai or paneer was little overdo but was tasty. For maindishes, methi Matar paneer was good and we ordered it as spicy. The overall taste was excellent but we felt the spice as after taste that is the only issue. Garlic naan was made fresh and tasted perfect. Star of the show was egg fried rice and well seasoned and right mix of veggies and egg. The rice was cooked to perfection. The staff is very friendly and courteous. The price is on the higher side but the ambiance, location and food makes it a place not to miss.

Oh how I wish that I could give Ellie's five stars but I'll explain the four stars in a moment…read more We discovered this amazing Indian restaurant out on Tom's River's Main Street, which is closed off to traffic on Friday and Saturday nights. the staff from Ellie's was encouraging, welcoming and they convinced us to sit down and enjoy a delicious Indian meal. That first meal piqued our curiosity because we kept looking up at the windows of what was once a theater but now houses a beautiful welcoming restaurant. You have to take the elevator to get up to the dining room but you walk into this. awesome! very attractive dining room with a great view of Toms Rivers Main Street. As was the case when we were outdoors the staff was welcoming and the service was attentive. Every menu item that we have tried beginning with the naan and going through some incredible appetizers and delicious entrees have been top notch and beautifully presented! The flavors will make you very happy and Ellie's is now on the favorite list. BUT ... There has been a problem each of the two times we've eaten at Ellie's and it has to do with my son-in-law's meal. he has requested that the kitchen make his entree as spicy as you can make it. yet each time his entree has come out almost mild far from the excessive heat that he enjoys. Since it's a pattern now I have to take away the one star.
