A very nice place for take out if you are craving for North Indian food. We tried their makki di roti and sarson ka saag combo that came with spicy curds and onionand also kadai panner. Loved both of these and would definitely want to go back and try their other dishes! read more

Oak Tree Road, Edison, NJ I've been to about 8 Indian restaurants in this area. At this place, Punjabi food is okay last time I've been here. Indian fast food cheap. Not as cozy so don't look for comfort. Reminds me of street food style places. I was looking for my old favorite spot behind it (I think that was where it was) that had this really spicey spicey Indian chicken but cooked the way General Tao chicken is (stew dehydrated for flavor). And I still can't find it, so ended up here. Not so bad. Give them a try. read more

Spare yourself the trouble. Please do not go here. Styrofoam plates, Greasy uninspiring food that spoilt my evening..top it off with food prices that rivals any fine-dine restaurant and the service..non-existent..at least an welcoming smile would have cushioned off some disappointment or, depression, but, that's hard to come by from the hosts as well. Being an avid foodie who enjoys cooking, I got depressed after having food here along with my toddler son n wife. This kind of places gives Indian food a bad name. read more

So the first time I walked into this place, I looked around and said there is no way I will eat here, or eat anything brought home from here. Then I smelled and saw the food, and I did a COMPLETE 180. Ethnically I'm Indian, but I'm a first generation American. My parents grew up in India, and when talking about the dining options back in the homeland, they would always talk about the little hole-in-the wall places serving up the best food around. Walking into Sher-E-Punjab, I have a feeling this is exactly what they were always referring to. Looking around, this is a tiny place, drab and grimy feeling, and essentially nothing about it screams great food. As many fellow foodies can agree, however, this is exactly the type of place that makes amazing food! They have many options on their menu, but the staple item is their platter. It comes with naan, rice, dal, 2 kinds of shack (meat or vegetables in a gravy), and some other key sides. The platter costs like $11, but is sure to fill you up and will taste better than what you can get at most upscale Indian restaurants. In addition, they have a "dry paneer" appetizer item, which I just recently tried for the first time, which is beyond incredible, and enough to count as a meal in and of itself! All in all, this is one of the best places to get cheap, fast, and delicious Punjabi food, and is definitely clutch when you're getting that craving. The place is even great despite the stank looks and not-so-friendly service from the employees here. read more

Another great meal, and such a delightful knowledgeable server who advised us on all parts of the meal! Great job Jessica!

We rarely go to edison...but every time i go to this area i have always eaten good indian food. Unfortunately this wasent the case in this restaurant. we ordered 2 lachha paratha..acahari chicken..goat curry...samosa and gajar ka halwa. The food came fairly quick..samosas were big and dilicious. But our main course was horrible ...the achari chicken didnt tase like acahari chicken at all...it was just chicken curry and on top of that there were only 2 peices of chicken in it...same thing with the goat very little quantity and tasted mediocre. We also got a side of saag which the worker claimed is very popular but my mom didnt like that either. Our desert was horrible too..it tasted like they added shredded paneer in the halwa to make it look like khoya..wow unbelievable..we only had one spoon each and left the rest on the table. I give this place 2 STARS for good lachha parathas and samosas....but with a name like sher e punjab I expected a lot better food. read more

I would have given it zero star though couldn't. Went to this Restaurant today. Ordered platter, Sheekh Kabab and Samosa's everything was below average in taste and were not worth half of the price i paid for them. Chickens were not cooked properly and the lamb meat looked stale to me. I won't suggest any one to visit this place and will never return here. read more

Nice food. Kofta, saag and kulfi is delicious.and food taste like homemade.Highly recommended!!

This restaurant is very good. Think with your stomach and everything will be alright. The stuffed parathas and the Chlole Bathura are paticularly awesome. Give this place a try for sure. read more

It is a fast food Indian curry place. So align your expectations accordingly. Very basic place serving North Indian food. Goat curry was very disappointing, dal makhni just ok, aloo gobhi was good and so was baigan bharta. Service is good and that earned it an extra star else Edison/Oaktree was better places serving North Indian curries. read more

I walked in the place expecting the food to be similar to the look of the place. The decor left much to be desired (cold white tiles, semi-comfortable chairs), but the food is awesome! With $20, my lady and I had a heaping amount of pork, chicken, and vegetarian dishes. The Nann bread was freshly made and the dipping sauces were plentiful. read more

To all punks who go to a Indian Dive and expect the decor and food to be like the Waldof Astoria -- get a F&^%en reality check. This is a cheap and quick eat, you get a mixed meal ( chicken / goat) till 11:00 PM for 7.5$, now tell me where the F^%$K do you want me to look for such a deal "UP YOUR SMELLY ASS". It place has been a great value place for anyone specially craving for Indian food late night. Having eated here over the years I say they are one of the dependable places that are open rain / sleet / snow. Yes, the ambiance is a dump, yes the lady at the counter seems she is wiped all the left overs ( super fat). The lighting is as great, enter the rest room at your risk! In this day and age of rising prices, these guys have served a value meal at steady prices you cannot beat that. For those ass holes who don't like the smell of curry, i say FOF, stay out. You don't want the smell - if some assholes took a shower once a week its woudn't smell that much. read more

If you're looking for authentic food just like one of the dhabas!!! This is the the place!! I can't believe I hadn't try this in all my trips to Edison! Best food and most authentic!! read more

EXCELLENT. Fresh, hot, excellent tasting food. The place looks modest on the outside but the food is very tasty. It is much better than any other restaurants in the vicinity. Reasonably priced, served hot, fresh and with lot of regard. read more

This review is long overdue. It used to be our favorite destination when in New Jersey. Even though this place isn't a fine dine the quality of food beats any fine dine restaurant. I personally prefer a fine dine but this place is so awesome that I, not even for once missed a fine dine place while dining here. We have recommended this place to all our family and friends and even took them here and everyone just loved it. If you want to know what a finger-licking sumptuous food is like then this is your stop. Food is steaming hot, it won't get cold until you finish the food which is good because I personally like steaming hot food, it tastes good. Well, some of the must try items are: *Chhola bhatura. *Aloo Tikki chaat. (It's been a year since we left New-Jersey, so the list might not be exactly the same but the taste of the food still lingers in my mouth) *Paneer bhurji. *Sarso ka saag. *Chicken tikka masala *Papri chaat *Daal fry. This place gives you the real taste of punjab and even the family who runs this business is very nice and polite. Must go place!!!!! read more

I ordered chicken tikka to go I can't believe what saw when I went home the chicken smelled very bad and old and inside it was very black like rotten Iam very unhappy and disappointed I hope no customer ever experience this disgusting food this is very bad and please check ur food before u give food to ur customers someone can get very sick eating dirty food read more

Wifey and I stopped by for some chola bhaturas and chicken tikka. Sort of an under rated restaurant. They deserve a 4!!

Their food os ok it's not a restaurant standard, and people are rude. I am not going there again.

Absolutely loved the food...!! We 5 people had sooo much of food and still the entire check was well within 100 bucks.. Definitely recommended... read more

The one star is only for the food. I want to start telling the non Indians to stop giving high reviews without understanding the food. Bad service I was standing to order and she ignored me the person from my back gets to put his order before me. Food is not what it should taste like I am a cook and have a show on YouTube called desiaroma so I know food when I talk. High prices you have to pay separate for naan and rice which is not included are you kidding me. Small Dirty bathroom dirt on tables and chairs looks like they never clean filthy. read more

It used to be nice many years ago. But now it is: Dirty place. Dead flies on window sill. Dirty curtains as if there is blood from dead flies on them. Filthy rest room. Electrically unsafe rest room. Dirty tables. Roti and naan becoming thin. Aaloo paratha is really an aaloo roti - they don't know what paratha is. Water jugs not cleaned probably until the end of the day. Charging extra for pepper on spicy platter. Price going up - becoming greedy. Cashier taking orders, serving, taking money, answering phone all at the same time. Cashier reluctant to provide receipt of payment. Cashier not friendly. read more

Best home style punjabi food.... Non service no ambience..just food !,

Went on a Sunday afternoon. The experience was like that of a typical highway dhaba seen on highways in India and so the décor too was not great. I ordered, sarson ka saag and makki di roti which indeed had the authentic taste. The vegetable biryani was not upto what I had expected having had the impeccably prepared Sarson ka saag and makki di roti. I also got paneer butter masala which was good. For the food I would give 4.5, decor I would give 2 and curtomer service I would give a 3. More than a place to sit and enjoy the food, getting a take-out is a better choice. read more

This is my spot for Malai Kulfi & Punjabi food ... 5 star for making spicy punjabi food ... & whole galaxy stars for their Malai Kulfi ... Requesting everyone to must try their Malai Kulfi read more

Excellent place for Dhabha food, i.e. Dal, Chole, Tandoori veg items. (I don't eat non-veg). One of the best Tandoori Roti (not the white round naan served in the name of Roti at the restaurants in US). Veg Pakora's are not very soft (although my son likes them). I don't think you should compare it to a restaurant since it is not. But if you are in the mood for a good dal makhani and tandoori roti, this is THE place. Bad Part is the ambiance, it is literally a dhabha and little pricy for the dhabha food. read more

Me and my wife go craving for their 'Paneer Tikka' platter (for her) and the BEST 'Makki Di Roti, Sarson Da Saag' (for me) in NJ. Undoubtedly the BEST Punjabi food experienced so far in NJ. Don't miss it!! read more

A place to go for good food at reasonable price is Sher E Punjab I walked into the restaurant last month with my family expecting real punjabi flavour, believe me there are not too many restaurants left in the surrounding area where one can find real taste of punjab & this is the place {infact only place} where one can find real punjabi food, whether it is veg or non veg. The only part that i didn`t liked was the self service. Other than that the food was awesome. we ordered variety of food, Of which i was really impressed with {chicken tikka masala,malaikofta & Nans} i also liked the variety of appitizers too. This is truning out to be my frequent getaway. read more

Food is good and tasty. Service is slow but the most frustrating part was that from the many plates of paneer-makhani we ordered, each plate had only 5-6 small pieces of paneer, working out to more than $1 for each small piece of paneer! We complained but were told that is what we would get - didnt make a difference to them. No toilet paper and napkins in the bathroom - didnt know how the staff could clean themselves. We figured that out in the night later, when three of us got bad stomach cramps. Hygeine is pretty questionable! Cheap but go at your own risk. There are definitely many better Indian places like this around! read more

Food is good but What a poor service,the lady over a counter very rude can't treat customers with even a simple smile

We didn't end up eating at the place, because the owner refused to give us menus or even serve us water. I went there with my girlfriend on Saturday night, February 3rd, 2018, at around 8:30. Just some background: I am Jewish, and my girlfriend is Indian. For whatever reason, everyone else in the restaurant (who were all Indian) seemed to be served food for the entire fifteen-minute duration while we were sitting at our table. Meanwhile, we didn't even get water or menus, and when I asked the waiter for them, he either ignored me or pretended to not understand me. My girlfriend, meanwhile, was getting glares from the owner and the waiter the entire time--apparently, she explained later, because she was out with me (since she is an Indian woman, and it is taboo in conservative Indian culture for her to date a white man). She later spoke with the owner in Punjabi about how they'd treated us, but apparently that went nowhere. We left a few minutes later and ate at another Indian restaurant--one that happily chose to serve an interracial couple. If this is how this business chooses to operate, then they'll be getting a call from the Better Business Bureau next week. read more

So many reasons I'm rating this place with a 1 star. I went in there after reading yelp reviews, immediately I was approached ( not greeted) with an attitude. We had to get up and look for a menu, its a small place so the two workers working in the front of the house should ideally ask if I need anything. This was my first time there, and I had mentioned this to the guy at the counter since I wanted help with ordering food. He didn't have suggestions, basically said everything is good. I order paneer makhani and instead got the one with bell peppers! I ordered butter naan and got a butter roti, I asked for jeera rice and got polouv ( rice with peas). Due to the waitress/food runner or whatever the hell she was having an attitude we made do with the food, and went to pay. The receipt had so much scribbling and over-writing that I couldn't make out and I am pretty sure they over charged us for things! So basically I'm definitely not going back to this junk! food and service suck. read more

This is the best punjabi food place in edison.... Their chicken saag & chicken curry with bone are the best ever in any restaurant

Do not go to this place if you are looking for a sit down restaurant with great ambiance. However, if you are looking for good food for takeout, this is the spot. I've had their biriyani, chicken curry, chicken tikka, samosas, chaats, and lamb. All is really great. The prices are also very very affordable for indian food. Their catering was also done wonderfully as we got catering from this place for 40 people. Their only dish I'm not too fond of is the malai kofta. If you want cheap, tasty indian food, this is the spot to go too. Just be aware, they have a minimum credit card charge of $20, so make sure you have cash in case you do not plan on spending that much. read more

excellent Punjabi authentic food. but be careful process are ridiculous for a restaurant of this kind

let's be honest...this is the best place for makki di roti n sarson da saag in whole US!!!

The worst restaurant I have ever visited in my life experience. Chicken Tikka tasted like, it is months old frozen. It was not only tasteless but price was unbelievable high. You can imagine, for 4 Nans, 1 plate of white rice, 6 Tikkas, 2 smosas, 2 cans of Sodas and 1 small chutni, I paid $ 70.00. On top of that food had no desi taste and sitting environment was horrible. Bathrooms were filthy and counter service behaved as if she is doing a big favor to take our order. I would never recommend this restaurant to anybody. read more

i always go there 1 day after day eat there called sarso ka saag & makki di roti try uts very fresh & very good foods we order so many times best place to go to eat always they made fresh .. read more

such a bad service from lady in front. rudest person in restaurant bussiness i had never seen. when ordered punjabi dishes gave smallest portion possible of onion i had ever experienced in any punjabi restaurant. then when asked extra onion twice as ordered 2 more dishes then lady told me are you here for eating onion? the bill for 2 person was 40 dollar and she did not like as i asked 9 cents worth of more onion. then at time of paying invoice she charged me $2.50 extra in invoice for onion plastic cup size of 3 cm by 3 cm(which she gave me along with PUNJABI food . size of cup of pyaj(onion) was smaller than pizza sauce cup. when i asked i never experienced any extra charge for onion as it is not in menu. she told that papa john charge for pizza sauce so as we charge for 3x3 cm pyaj (onion) . i told them Mcdonald do not charge for 2x2 cm heinz ketch up. now i do not understand where this ugly shere e punjanb stands between papa john and mcdonald? Lady in front has all cunningness but not at all having business sense. Chef seems to be polite and mature. I am 48 years old and one among rare taste bud who enjoyed punjabi dishes in India and for 18 years in Canada and USA. food is average. trust me . i am real taste bud thats why i needed extra onion .I am not highlighting food is average because i have bad experience for onion. they charge $1 less for subzi as comapred to other restaurant but you end up paying more as there nan costs quite high as compared to other restaurants in area $3.50 per nan even i atmosphere is so filthy. so you end up paying more as compared to other restaurants. generally being patriotic Indian i do not like to write bad review of any indian bussiness but lady told she is owner. if she lied bad for owner that he has such employee . if she was real owner then this review is eye opener from patriotic Indian read more
