We came here around 3pm on a Saturday, it wasn't completely packed but did get more people as we dined. Our party of 3 was sat in the back in the corner. We didn't leave until 5:30...and that wasn't by choice. What we ordered: - Shakshuka - Panini Pressed Turkey Sandwich - Chicken Caesar salad wrap - A pot of chai We had to wait long to order but what's worse is our food took forever to come out and they all came out at completely different times. It's really confusing why it took so long because my Chicken Caesar salad wrap came out first, then later the Shakshuka, then much later Panini Pressed Turkey Sandwich. How long does it take to make a turkey sandwich realistically? The food isn't bad exactly but nothing special. We all waited to eat together but it was such bad timing with no apologies. I know their kitchen closes between 4-5 but if the order is put in it should go through right? No explanation whatsoever. We also had to stop someone for water refills. The best thing about the experience was the chai. It was tasty and was kept warm with a candle. Nice touch. I would not likely be back or recommend it until the kinks are worked out.

A cute spot in central NJ! Loved the interior - with the greenery and natural light. My friend loved the refresher she tried and I had their iced chai with cardamom cold foam. We didn't try the food so can't share on that. Service was good!

Chicken & Waffles

Shir Chai Co is one of the best brunch spots in Jersey. I came here three times just for the chicken and waffles which came out fresh with flavorful, crispy chicken tenders. Their chai is always consistent and served hot in a pretty teapot. Pancakes are fluffy, not overly sweet, and my second favorite item on their menu. Lamb sliders and the breakfast burrito were also tasty if you're a meat lover. Overall amazing decoration, atmosphere and service. This place is perfect for families, catching up with friends, a late chai spot and for Muslims looking for a place to eat good food that is guaranteed halal.

Pancakes

Very nice interior, a place you'd like to sit and savor your food. Pricey menu but we liked our pancakes and the iced latte with vanilla cold foam. I'll definitely be back to try the savory items.

Chicken and waffles

Came here for chai and another day for brunch and both were excellent! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was delicious as well. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the cheesesteak and both tasted great. The restaurant itself is clean and stylish. Wishing them best of luck in the opening!!

Amazing coffee spot! My friends and I got together here after one of them heard great things online…read moreabout it. Definitely lives up to the hype! The shop cafe itself is beautiful. The architecture and the decor is stunning and gives an elevated feeling. It's the perfect spot to hang out with friends and catch up, read a book, or study. Theres a small selection of pastries and a vast selection of desserts. We didn't end up getting the desserts, but did get the blueberry cheese danish, and the chili cheese danish. Both were delicious, although I hadn't seen the chili cheese one anywhere else, making it unique. For my coffee I got the honeycomb hive with vanilla foam...and I liked it so much I got it twice. It was absolutely delicious and something I would totally go out of my way for. The honey isn't too overpowering and is balanced amazingly with the vanilla. The only thing to note is that if you are in a rush, then maybe order online or go somewhere else. Despite it not being super crowded, it did take some time for our drinks to come out. Overall I'd recommend! And don't miss the honeycomb hive!

Cool coffee shop that offers lots of specialty menu items. Inside has plenty of seating and it's…read morequiet. Service was good, staff was patient and attentive. We tried a few pastries, all were good. The brown sugar shaken espresso was made really well with a balanced flavor. The latte cup for dine-in was a special, high quality mug, we appreciated the detail. Overall a good shop, glad there're more options for good coffee in the area.

Couldn't decide what to do for breakfast while I was in town, so I did what we all do opened Uber…read moreEats and hoped for the best. That's when I stumbled across Hidden Grounds Coffee House... and let's just say, this place is not so "hidden" once you find it. I ordered the smoked salmon and cream cheese toast, and every single component was fresh, high quality, and dialed in. I added avocado (highly recommend), and it just took everything to the next level. Simple, clean, and absolutely delicious. Then came the honeybee latte, hot and wow. Whatever they're doing behind the scenes with this coffee, it works. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and honestly one of those drinks you think about later in the day. This is a non-negotiable order. And because discipline is overrated on a work trip, I added an almond croissant. I should've gotten two. It's filled with something magical, I'm not even going to pretend I know what it is, but it's rich, flaky, and completely worth it. If you're anywhere near Hidden Grounds, do yourself a favor and check it out. This place knows exactly what it's doing.

During my time in New Brunswick, this was my favorite coffee shop to go to! Amazing space and…read moredrinks are meticulously and deliciously crafted. Highly recommend any of their cold brews, they are all fantastic and well balanced in flavors, not overly sugary. You can appreciate the additional flavors in each drink.

She engaged in conversation with me, as I am not from Jersey and helped me with the menu clarity. There is no parking lot here, but alot of street parking. Inside is very clean with a gender neutral bathroom and some cute decor. The prices are decent. Dessert pieces are a little pricey, but very big. They do have soo many sweet treats. They also have specialty turkish sweets and others such as cheesecake, dubai chocolate, parfaits & other things that I do not even know the name of. I wish i could try them all without getting cavities haha. When I come back to Jersey I will definitely be coming back to this cafe as it is a hot commodity to me!

Best coffee I've had in NJ!!! It was my first time trying…read morethis place despite attending Rutgers a couple years back! I wish I had tried this muchhhh sooner-- 1st time; Tried the Iced Caramel Voltage. It was sooo good, perfectly sweet and the quality of the coffee was well roasted. 2nd time; Tried the Iced Crème Brûlée Latte. Also very delicious, they mix vanilla powder into the milk and it's so flavorful! My friend tried the hot Biscoff Latte and also absolutely loved it-- Sooo many options on the menu and sweet treats to choose from (it can get overwhelming!) My only note is that they only had one person running the shop both times I visited and there was quite some traffic for one person to handle. The other time visiting, they were mostly out of select coffees, decaf, etc by Noon and limited w milk stock.
