Cozy Corner Cuban Bistro in Garwood delivers the real thing. I ordered the Cuban sandwich,…read morecroquetas de jamón, and a Cuban coffee, and all three were outstanding. The sandwich was the most authentic I have had outside Miami and Tampa, pressed just right with the balance of pork, ham, pickle, and mustard that tells you they care. The croquetas were textbook, creamy inside with a crisp shell, and the coffee had that rich, roasty punch that makes you sit up a little straighter. What sealed it was the atmosphere. The room felt authentically Cuban from the music to the decor, no detail spared, nothing performative. We were the only ones there at 2 p.m. on a Saturday, which made it feel like our own little escape. Service was kind, prompt, efficient, and attentive without hovering, exactly how you want it. I was with my soulmate and we both left smiling. I will absolutely come back and I want to work my way through more of the menu. This is a keeper.

Goat Pepper Fry - if you're a spicy-food lover, this is the dish you must order here…read more Due to family commitments, I couldn't visit this place when it first opened in my city--but better late than never, right? We went on a cold Sunday night, and to my surprise, the place looked completely deserted. It immediately felt more like a takeaway spot than a proper dine-in restaurant. The paper plates, plastic cutlery, and overall setup confirmed it. And yes--my guess was right. Their business model is clearly focused on takeaway / online orders / to-go, with very little emphasis on dine-in even though they have 6-7 tables that could seat around 28 people. It's just not their priority, it seems. Anyway, I ordered at the counter: Goat Pepper Fry I honestly can't recall having a better version anywhere. Rajni's version comes close, but this one wins in consistency and flavor. Absolutely worth it. Pachi Mirchi Kodi Biryani- Let's not call it biryani--because it's not. But as a dish? Fantastic. It's more like chicken gravy mixed with rice, and it tastes really good. but its miles away from being called BIRYANI. I'm a big mutton/lamb/goat and biryani lover. Most people hesitate to try goat at restaurants due to the smell, but I always give it a shot--knowing I'll be disappointed 70% of the time. This time, it paid off. Overall, I'd give them a 4/5, but: * I'm deducting 1/2 star for hygiene. Even if dine-in isn't their focus, the restaurant still needs basic cleaning. Tables, stands, and doors were visibly dirty. * Another 1/2 star for the paper plates and plastic cutlery. I can't enjoy biryani with tiny plastic spoons--they practically cut your lips. So technically it's 3/5, but that Goat Pepper Fry is such a highlight that I'm pushing it back to 4/5. I'll definitely be trying more items from them.

Ordered the chicken fry option, and there was a generous amount of chicken. I couldn't even finish the dish. Its a very casual setup: order at counter, paper plates.

The pancit and pandesal were both solid staples that rounded out the meal perfectly. Service: The super kind titas made the whole experience feel like being fed by your grandma: warm, generous, and full of heart. They served great portions and made me feel right at home. Aesthetic: Simple cafeteria-style setup with seating on the opposite side, giving it that authentic, home-cooked comfort vibe.

The staff here must be working all night long or something to be able to pull that amazing task off, super impressive. Gotta say too they're really cool people who are very friendly and that's the other reason I like stopping in.

Medina Foundation & BBQ Grill is one of those places you could easily drive past without realizing…read morethere's a restaurant inside. From the outside, there isn't much to give it away, but there's convenient parking right outside. Inside, it's small, clean, and neat, with a simple setup. We asked the staff what they recommended for someone trying Pakistani food, and the mixed grill was their pick. We also ordered papdi chaat, samosa chaat, and chicken samosas--although unfortunately, they were out of the chicken samosas. For our no-spice son, we went with fries and nuggets. The nuggets were crispy and, after a forced intermittent fast caused by missing several exits, he was basically in seven heaven. We also decided to try the biryani despite some less-than-great reviews. And Chapli kebab beef ( but we got chicken....). Apparently, biryani, nihari, and qorma are among the dishes you should try when exploring Pakistani food. The biryani had a good flavor, but ours was seriously short on meat--it eventually came back as a plate of mostly bone-in meat. The mixed grill was okay, although the Behari kebab had some serious heat. One bite and you felt the need to drown yourself in water just to survive. . The chapli kebab was good but just wrong meat.... For us, the highlights were definitely the papdi chaat, samosa chaat, naan, and the kulfi (which seemed more like an Indian packaged brand than something homemade). Overall, I'd give it 4/5 for ambiance, 3/5 for food, and 4/5 for price. Service improved when we asked for a few changes, and the staff were helpful. Not sure we'll be back, mainly because there are a plethora of other options nearby. But it served its purpose, gave us a taste of Pakistani food, and got us happily back on the road toward the DMV.

My friend and I stopped by here for dinner after a long day of shopping at the outlet malls in NJ…read more as avid city girls, we are always on the hunt for the most authentic and delicious desi food. When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted to a dining room, full of patrons, mostly families. We ordered whatever is the best off the menu, of course the waiter suggestion weighed in heavy here. We started with the beef Bihari kebab which was cooked to perfection. The meat was tender and perfectly spiced. Personally, I wouldn't have minded a little bit more spice, but this was a beautiful marriage. For the entrée, we ordered some bread with the goat karahi and chicken biryani. The karahi came to the table, sizzling hot and was an absolute spectacle. The spices were absolutely on point and the goat was cooked to the bone, it was very tender and bursting with flavor. The chicken biryani was spicy just how we ordered it and had the perfect ratio of masala to rice. The rice was cooked beautifully and not clump together. This was a really solid plate of biryani. We obviously had so many leftovers and happily took them home. I ordered the pink kashmiri chai to wash all of this down. The owner was super friendly and we enjoyed talking to him very much. This is a small family restaurant in the heart of Edison dishing out some of the best desi food around. Make sure to stop by here and enjoy their many menu offerings. I cannot wait to come back!!

I ended up getting the Lechon large plate instead and it was also so good! If I had to choose, I'd probably put the Half & Half jerk chicken & pork large plate above this one but it's a hard choice. To go I also ordered an order of their Mac & Cheese, the sample I got last week really had me hooked. I saw that they also had a new empanada - pineapple and cheese. Wow, that was also such a cool and tasty item. Would be good for the meatless eaters. Lastly, I had another one of the fresh juices. This time they had Soursop Kaffir Lime Tea, so unique and refreshing. I can't wait to go back again.

My daughter and nephew had a rye mixed with Greek honey, blood orange and lemon. All were great.

In fact, if you are here for jewelry shopping, then this is very near to those famous jewelry shops (Tanishq-Malabar-Kalyan), Plus point is the municipality parking is very nearby with their own parking. Coming to the restaurant - it's huge, and the ambience is really good; they can definitely accommodate large groups. It was a weekday evening, and when we entered, only one table was occupied, so it had a very deserted look. We settled down and ordered- * Manchow Soup - it was good. 5/5 * Chicken Dum Biryani: I'm not sure why I order biryani from 'not so famous' biryani places; I might be hoping for a surprise taste - it literally failed, and they should rename it as Chicken pulav. Also, too oily.. 1/5 * Goat Sukka: should have been spicier, more flavorful. 3/5 Overall, the satisfaction level was not that high.. nothing unique, and whatever the hype about the new young chef, I did not find that interesting. 3.5/5 for me, but I am rating it as 4 just to help them grow their business.
