A full on flavorful curry. Garma garam Naan. Eight Special Biryani. And yes... dessert to banta hai. Basically the platter is like"Relax bro... I got you." The Veg Platter for $17.99 and a Non-Veg Platter for $19.99 And it's available Monday to Friday for lunch. So next time you're staring at the menu like "yaar kya order karu..."

They have a dedicated parking space in a shared area outside the restaurant, but I'm not sure if they have enough for a rush weekend service.

We may probably give it another try sometime in the future but not immediately.

One of My Top 3 Spots for Goat Chop Curry…read more Bombay Blue has easily become one of my favorite Indian restaurants. Their goat chop curry is outstanding and definitely in my top three places to go when I'm craving it. The food has that authentic, home-cooked flavor that is hard to find. The service is just as good as the food. Lakshman is an absolute superstar and one of the best servers I've had. He's attentive, friendly, knows the menu, and genuinely makes sure you're taken care of. The owner is also very welcoming and makes you feel like you're a guest in his home rather than just another customer. It's BYOB, which is another big plus. Great place to bring the family, have dinner with friends, or stop in for a good meal after a round of golf. I've eaten at plenty of high-end and Michelin-starred restaurants, and when it comes to the overall dining experience--food, hospitality, and how you're treated--Bombay Blue can compete with some of the best. So far, this has been one of my best dining experiences of the year. Great food, great people, and a place that genuinely feels like home. Highly recommend it.

I had heard a lot about their Indo-Chinese food, so that's mainly what we went there to try. We ordered Chilli Paneer, Veg Sizzler, Schezwan Fried Rice, Veg Manchurian, Veg Hakka Noodles (baby mild for my daughter), and a Mango Virgin Mojito. Portions were okay and the food looked good when it came out, but honestly, the taste was just okay. Most of it felt bland and was missing that Indo-Chinese flavor and kick I was expecting. Since I had specifically heard that their Indo-Chinese was good, this was probably the most disappointing part for me. I would give the food 2 stars. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Ambience is definitely 5 stars. But it was so hot inside because the A/C wasn't on. At one point, even the gentleman serving us was sweating. When we asked about the A/C, he had to go ask the owner if he could turn it on and seemed worried about getting in trouble for doing so. I actually felt bad for him. One other thing that felt strange was that the person taking our order was dressed very casually, almost like nightwear, while the gentlemen serving the food were professionally dressed. I normally wouldn't even pay attention to something like this, but when a place has upscale pricing, you expect the whole experience to feel a little more polished. The staff serving us were nice and trying their best, so I would give the service 3 stars. I feel some of the issues were probably not even in their control. Overall, 2 stars for my first visit. Beautiful place and okay portions, but between the bland food, the heat inside, and the prices, I personally didn't feel the experience was worth spending top dollar.

Saoji is a fiery, deeply spiced, mostly non-vegetarian cuisine said to have originated with the…read moreHalba Koshti weaver community of Madhya Pradesh. When the community migrated to Nagpur in 1877, their food followed -- spreading through the tradesfolk and mill workers who embraced its bold flavors. Today, Saoji is considered the signature cuisine of Nagpur: intensely spiced, unapologetically hot, and built around powerful, roasted masalas. Tonight we ate at Nagpuri Saoji in Voorhees (they also have a location in Iselin), and these two spots are reportedly the only places in the U.S. where you can experience this cuisine in its full, blazing glory. To Start We began with sabudana vada -- the classic Maharashtrian fritter made from tapioca pearls, mashed potatoes, peanuts, and spices. Served piping hot and impossibly crisp outside with a tender interior, they came with two chutneys and were absolutely sublime. Alongside that was goat sukka, a dry-style mutton preparation associated with the Mangalore and Udupi regions, with spice influences tracing back to Goa and even Arab and Turkish traders. Coriander, fennel, cumin, black peppercorns, and fenugreek give it depth and warmth. It was bold, savory, and incredibly flavorful. The Curries I ordered chicken kala masala curry, and it was deeply earthy, nutty, and robustly savory. "Kala" means "black" in Marathi -- referring both to the color and to the roasted spice blend itself. Cumin, coriander, cloves, cinnamon, stone flower, coconut, sesame seeds, and chillies are roasted and ground into a dark, complex masala that lingers beautifully on the palate. We also ordered Goat Handi, with tender meat in a velvety, aromatic gravy, and a Malwani goat curry, made with Malvani masala from the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra -- a spice blend that balances heat with coastal warmth and depth. Rice, plain naan, and indulgent Amul cheese naan rounded out the meal. Dessert We finished with Sitafal Rasmalai (custard apple-infused rasmalai) and Jamun Rabdi -- both creamy, fragrant, and perfect against the lingering spice. A Few Notes Like much traditional Asian cooking, the meat dishes are cooked on the bone -- so eat mindfully. And if you request "hot," they mean hot. This is not toned-down spice; this is the real deal. I was thrilled to try dishes from India that I've never made before. Saoji cuisine is bold, unapologetic, and absolutely delicious -- and I'll definitely be adding some of these flavors to my home repertoire. If you have the opportunity to try this cuisine -- do it.

Kind of a letdown! I…read morefinally decided to try this place after hearing a lot about it. I know it's popular for the saoji chicken but being a vegetarian I had to stick to their veggie options. I visited this place for dinner and they were out of a lot of things. I got the shegaon kachori, Misaal Pav, Tarri Poha and Sol kadhi. Shegaon kachori was the best option amongst the lot. It was super crispy and the filling was nice as well. Tarri Poha was a let down. The tarri tasted weird so it ruined the entire dish. Same tarri was present in the misaal too, so this dish was ruined too. Sol kadhi was average. The service was fast and the ambience is okay-ish. Honestly, would not recommend this place for their vegetarian options!

We always go to Sayreville restaurant but that one has so much of wait time . There was no wait time in athithya and location wise it was good. Lots of space inside to sit and dine . Ambience looked below average . Thali was about 22$ , and price wise it was ok.. service was bad. They keep the thali and go inside kitchen and don't even ask you what you want . In Sayreville restaurant they keep going around asking customers what they need and keep filling the food . We ordered a Kathiawadi thali and Punjabi thali . More than half items were common in both thalis . They had dhokla and few other Gujarati items in Punjabi thali !!! I don't know the names of the dishes but some were very oily and no salt/spice in them . Some were really good . Punjabi dhal was extra ordinary . Gujarati dhal rice was superb . Paneer items were ok . Samosa / sweet were good . Overall we had an average experience.. 3 stars

First unlimited thali experience and we had alot of fun dining here trying all the different sides…read more This restaurant is vegetarian so no meat option available. We got the Kathiyawadi and the Gujarati thali. You get complimentary sides that had pickled cabbage, peppers and red onions. They also had 3 sauces - I'm not sure what they are but one tasted like ginger candy, one mango chutney, and the last one was a savory spice dip. You start your thali with a butter milk, which I am not a big fan of. It tasted like watered down savory milk. If you're not familiar with Indian food and is just here to try the different taste, I would recommend picking between the Kathiyawadi and Gujarati thali for one, and then get the Punjabi thai. The Kathiyawadi and Gujarati tasted very similar with only 4 of the dishes being different. Ultimately they were all just different ways of preparing eggplant, chick peas, and tomatoes. The Punjabi thali might taste a bit different than the two. Overall I was a bit disappointed by the lack of variety with the vegetable and taste even though this was a vegetarian place. I think I'm also not used to Indian food and the spice so it is not for me. The staff were super friendly and patient explaining the dishes. If you like Indian this is a place not to miss!!
