    JAIN KAJU MASALA - MADE TO ORDER
    Nakshi Monil S.

    We visited Samudhra for a family dinner and quickly realized this is not your usual casual dinner spot it has an elevated, polished vibe, so dress to impress when you plan your visit. The food was absolutely amazing, with flavors that were perfectly on point in every dish we tried. They also accommodate jain food upon special request. Their homemade paneer is a true standout and something we would definitely return for. Portion sizes were decent, making it ideal for a relaxed sit-down dinner with family. Prices are slightly on the higher side, and you might experience a bit of a wait once the order is placed, but the taste and ambiance make it well worth it. Overall, a wonderful dining experience and a great place for a memorable family night out.

    We came here as a family expecting a fine dining experience. I must say, it felt more like an ordinary restaurant with the prices being on the pricier side. We had order a couple of appetizers including bullet paneer, gobi, haleem, and sliders which we thoroughly enjoyed. It also came in a decent quantity for its price. For the main course, we had ordered a paneer tikka masala which was excellent with the paneer being very soft and melts in the mouth. The chicken curry on the other hand was pretty average but passing. The service was pretty good with our server being very nice and helpful. For the ambience of the place, I must say I expected more from a fine dining restaurant as it felt like a normal restaurant due to the fact that we didn't have that much privacy and the place being quite loud due to other customers. Overall, I would rate this from a 3-4 stars out 5. The food was pretty good but could improve on the whole fine dining experience.

    Butter chicken

    This is one of the few upscale Indian restaurants in the area. The ambiance strikes a nice balance - lively enough to feel energetic but still conducive to conversation. My only issue was the dim red lighting, which made it difficult to appreciate the vibrant colors of the dishes. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the generous portions help justify the cost. The butter chicken was great and well-executed. The malai kofta, however, really needed naan to shine - it didn't quite hold up on its own. As for the drinks,, let's just say they don't skimp on the pour. ;) It's more of a 3.5-star experience. But since I have to round, I'm giving it 4 stars because of the service staff.

    Non veg thali
    Komal K.

    What a wonderful find in Franklin township. We came here for lunch on a Monday and the place was packed. I guess that speaks a lot about its popularity. We ordered the non veg thali and it came out very promptly. The mocktail that I ordered was a little too sweet for my taste. Now when it comes to the non veg thali, omg, every dish was an explosion of flavors. It had everything ranging from fish, shrimp, chicken, mutton to dessert. Service was top notch and the ambiance was great. They kept refilling our food promptly whenever we needed. Definitely recommend and I will definitely come back!!

    Kindly check their timing on the website properly. We came around 3:30 and only limited items from the menu were available which i don't complain, every establishment have their own standard and timing. Overall good experience in the high end restaurant. The seating arrangement and ambience is just amazing.

    Samudhra Premium Restaurant NJ located in Franklin Park, New Jersey It is an upscale restaurant which serves contemporary regional cuisine of India in a muted color scheme in the sleek dining vibes which provides an ideal backdrop for the kitchen's rout of boldly seasoned dishes. In Samudhra everything is made from scratch to be as delectable as what precedes them. They prepare their food in Desi Ghee( clarified butter) Chef Dheeraj ( Executive Chef) and it's team features incredibly unique dishes that combine creative innovation with honored traditions of the region. We tried Paan Martini Negroni Mumbai Velvet martini Dahi ke Kebab Kodi 65 Macchi Tikka Lamp chops Hyderabadi Dum goat biryani Dum ka Murgh Phool Makhana Masala Cheese and chilli Naan Laccha paratha Samudhra Delight Falooda If you're looking for a upscale Indian restaurant in New Jersety complete with crowd-pleasing dishes and excellent service..Samudhra it is ... Prior reservation is a must

    Food is delicious! Both thali options have a great variety and large portions. Reservations definitely recommended. The dining area and lounge are decorated very nicely. Staff is friendly, our server Vikas went above and beyond to make our dining experience wonderful. Planning to dine here again for sure.

    ALWAYS READ REVIEWS - please. Based on a recommendations, we decided to have a surprise dinner with a family of 10 people. I saw the rating but did not read the reviews. My mistake. They have a dress code. My teenage sun wore black track pants. The manager would not let us in. I had to leave and drive my son to Target to get pants so we could enter. As home is about 1 hr away. This has occurred to multiple people - check other reviews. And honestly... it's not that great of place. In the middle of southern Jersey there are many other quality Indian restaurants within a mile. Ambiance is similar to other local restaurants. The food tastes fine but the wait staff is not attentive. Automatic 18% tip and the audacity to ask for +2-5% above this was kind of silly. Sadly I can't recommend this place. Save your money and go someplace else.

    Vegetarian Thali
    Varsha T.

    the first time i came here, i tried the vegetarian meal thali, which was an assortment of south indian vegetable curry, roti of choice, rice, and a sweet. my first time trying the place, it felt very authentic, like a home-cooked meal. however, i will say there are other comparable restaurants that i would try next time. on my most recent visit, i tried the chicken tikka grilled dish, which really blew me away. next time, i would try more of these tandoor dishes. it really stood out. what was especially great was the strong, intense spiced chicken that had a perfect, unique flavor profile, paired with an incredible tikka masala sauce. it was the correct portion for one person and a comparable price to the vegetarian meal. the wait can be a little long, usually i'm able to be seated right away, but the food can take up to 30 to 40 minutes depending on how busy they are. i would definitely recommend checking out this spot; it's a nice upscale indian restaurant in the area.

    roti and chili-garlic naan
    Suchi O.

    Nice upscale restaurant in Franklin Park, NJ. Enjoyed dinner Sunday night here. We tried Mirchi Bhaji, Dal Makhani and Tawa Paneer with roti and chill-garlic naan. All the dishes were tasty, right proportion and appropriate price point. Service is attentive and quick. I have come here for a GNO few months back and have also enjoyed their lunch-thali in the lounge. Both the experiences were pretty decent. The restaurant is definitely worth a try if you are in this area

    Fantastic! Delicious! Perfect! Service was over the top! The staff was moving smoothly and swiftly. They accommodated my 2 yr old without hassle. I'm glad there was a dress code because the atmosphere felt high end with reasonable prices. This was one of the few Indian restaurants where I can use fork and knife and now worry about getting my hands covered in food. If I want to eat with my hands, I'll eat at some forgettable restaurant. Food was top notch! The ingredients tasted fresh and decadent. Many delicious dishes to choose from, but you cant go wrong with the paneer! I wish I had more pictures but everyone at the table was scooping up all the food! My wife and I will return for a date night as soon as we find a babysitter.

I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

Dim lighting, big comfortable leather chairs, bookshelves lining the walls, a fully stocked bar, and historic photos throughout the space create a classic lodge vibe that feels timeless without being stuffy.

The craft cocktails are well made and thoughtful, and if you prefer beer, there are solid options there too. As a bourbon lover, I especially enjoyed their private barrel pick served neat, a real treat and easily a standout pour. This is a perfect pre-dinner or post-evening stop, we have done both, and it works beautifully either way. Dress is slightly casual but leans upscale, and while pricing is a bit higher than average, it feels completely worth it for the setting, quality, and experience. We sank into the chairs, talked story with friends, and lost track of time, which really says it all. If you are anywhere near Skytop Lodge, make sure this is on your list. Plan extra time, you will want to linger.
