But this one didn't have anything going for it to make me want to give it a second chance. From the decor , service , food et all . Nothing worked for us here. This was an impromptu stop to get dinner since we were in the area. It didn't have great Yelp ratings but we still wanted to give it a chance. It was a weekday evening and the place had one table occupied. That gave us some courage to walk in to a seemingly empty restaurant. Since the objective was to have a quick meal we planned to order few basic things . Chicken Biriyani - was quite bad . Rice had an overpowering fragrance of rose water & spices , meat was not fresh & the Biriyani didn't offer a punch! Malabar Chicken Curry - This was just ok. Chicken was not fresh! Malabar Parotha - Flaky & Good. Having tried their basic offerings recommend by the waitress, our experience wasn't promising , as the food wasn't fresh & the place wasn't inviting. Most of the Kerala specialities like Appam , Dosa wasn't available . They seem to be focussed on their lunch buffet, weekend dining & mostly takeout for weekdays. That made dining in on a weekday quite blah! This place is normally way off for us to frequent and given our mediocre experience I wouldn't make the trek !

    Really nice Indian food. I've been here twice now and got chicken pakora, tawa tikki, malai kefta,…read moreHaryali Kashmiri Kofta, onion bhagia, garlic naan and onion kulcha. Everything has been great, no exceptions. My SO has been really happy with his entrees too and is looking forward to coming back to see if the vindaloo can make him cry. The flavor profile is great, the portions are massive. I usually default to lamb rogan Josh when I try a new place but have been hitting vegetarian entries since they can be amazing at Indian places and they absolutely are. The price point is decent, very similar to other Indian restaurants of this tier in Jersey. I'm glad they include the rice with the curry which helps the price. They serve papadams with onion, tamarind, and mint chutney to start. Again, I've seen more Indian places omit this or charge for it. Very close to my SOs place, so this will start becoming a regular spot.

    Got takeout from there with mostly good results, and a miss. First off, the Veg Samosa was awesome!…read moreYou get 2 very good sized ones, that were very flaky and crunchy with flavorful potato and pea filling. Excellent. But the vegetable Assorted Pakora ( battered and fried veggies) was not good at all. It was doughy and soft, not crispy at all and bland tasting. A total loss. Then the Spring Rolls were a pleasant recovery from that, nice sized, several with the order, and tasted good. The Chicken Pakora (battered fried chicken nuggets) was middle of the road, not too crispy, but the chicken was tender and enjoyable with the spicy dipping sauce. The Onion Kulcha (soft flatbread with onions, herbs and spices in it) was not bad, and went well with the main dish, which was Chicken Nargisi. This is chicken chunks in a spicy coconut milk sauce which was very good. This came with a very generous portion of basmati rice (huge portion, enough for 3-4 people as a side). The rice was aromatic, cooked correctly,not gummy at all. The coconut chicken was seasoned well, the chicken was tender with plenty of sauce. Also a large enough portion to make 2 meals out of it. The Samosas were the standout of the meal, highly recommended.

    We're allium-free vegetarians and had been meaning to try more Indian restaurants but the sheer…read moreamount of "pure veg" Indian restaurants within the same square mile was both awesome and daunting. We're still looking around for our go-to Indian restaurant in the area as our kids love saag/palak paneer and we used to go at least once a month where we moved from. But we finally made it! We came here on a Monday that also fell on a holiday so they had a steady amount of customers. We were the only non-Indian customers, which appears to be normal. They're located in a small strip along with 2 or 3 other businesses. Shared parking is behind the building so most people entered through the back door. It was about half full when we got there so I can see it filling up fast during crowded times. Walk through because no one is at the back but there is a small clothing rack to hang coats; the counter is at the front by the front door. We made ourselves known and were promptly seated. They serve vegetarian food and many are Swaminarayan-friendly (allium-free, which appears to be their default mode), certain can be made Jain as well! They do use alliums but overall, they seem to be able to make most of the dishes without alliums. We ordered the following, Swaminarayan-style and mild because one of my kids can do but mild food: DAHI PURI: I usually get pani puri but decided to try it out since it's been a while since I had this. It came out first as the appetizer, was a thing of beauty, and there are A LOT of flavors in there. The sweet-leaning yogurt, sev with its textural differences, the freshness of the cilantro, the spiced potatoes, the tart pomegranate seeds... My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. PALAK PANEER: This was ordered for my kids. Green gravy with tender paneer. They liked it! The curry got a little too spicy but it didn't hit them until later. My kid with the food allergies ate all the paneer when the gravy grew too spicy for him. MALAI KOFTA: This is different from the malai kofta I've had before but not in a bad way. I definitely think they use cashew "cream" in this. It's lightly sweet in a way that reminds me of cashews. The kofta are soft and I'm pretty sure are paneer based. This is probably the most mild curry we ordered, both in terms of spice and spices. This was my pick because I usually can't order malai kofta at Indian restaurants so I was pleased I could hear. MATAR METHI MALAI: I love how Indian curries are so straightforward when it comes to names. I'm not sure what to expect with this but my husband didn't know what to get so I nudged him towards this. He wanted MATAR PANEER but it's not on the menu. This is essentially fenugreek pea curry in a milky gravy. It has very interesting spices and flavor. A little more bland than the others, yet not at the same time. Must be that fenugreek! For some odd reason, it reminded me of coconut chutney I've had before. We also got ROTI for one of my kids who prefers bread over rice. All curries come with white basmati. For drinks, we got MANGO LASSI, SPRITE, and CHAAS (buttermilk). The buttermilk was different! Much more spiced than I expected. I also swear at one point I tasted a raw onion bit but it only happened once so who knows if it was mistaken blended in or it was all in my head. I do remember it was STRONG though. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised at the sheer amount of choices we had. Our bill totaled to around $90 (curries are around $20, Dahi puri was $12) and we brought home some leftovers. They seem to be family run and are fairly nice and helpful. We would likely go back again to try more things, but the palak paneer isn't completely up our kids' alley to become their favorite. If you have food allergies, let them know. My youngest has multiple food allergies including to nuts and wheat. Most of their curries contains nuts EXCEPT for the palak paneer and their bhindi (okra) dish. Luckily for my kid. Despite how nuts are a common ingredient in the kitchen, my kid was completely fine during and after eating. Note: their menu says they charge gratuity for parties of 4 people or more. My husband says he didn't see it on the bill when it was time to pay. Not sure if that statement is now outdated or it only counts if there are 4+ ADULTS.

    Came with my manager for lunch. Food lacked taste. Lot of veg fusion items alright but taste was…read moremissing. Nice interiors and little challenging to park.

    I've passed this particular restaurant quite a few times and I finally found the opportunity to…read morecheck it out this evening. My sister and I do not mind having some Indian cuisine every so often and this one is close to home so we thought why not give it a try. We came here on a Sunday evening around 6:00pm. The restaurant was empty and for some people an empty restaurant can be a bad sign but for us it turned out to be a good sign. We were greeted when we walked in and seated right away. The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and attentive which I love because I love a restaurant that is welcoming. For an appetizer my sister and I shared the goat samosa which was served with tomato chutney. I enjoyed the goat samosa, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the tomato chutney. As for my entree I wanted to try something different because butter chicken is always my go to when it comes to Indian cuisine. For my entree I got the Nepali Festive Thali(veg) which was a platter of rice, lentils, vegetable curry, mustard green leaves, black-eyed pea beans curry, pickles, chutneys, pappad, and it also came with gulab jamun with yogurt. We also ordered a side of garlic naan. I thought this entree was okay and I enjoyed the vegetable curry with the rice and the gulab jamun the most. Overall I will definitely be back. I'm glad I finally got to try this local Indian restaurant in my area.

For an appetizer we had the goat samosa, which turned out to be quite tasty 7/10. For the entree I had the Nepali festive thali chicken and my sister had the veggie option. We both agreed the portion was generous and worth every penny. The only thing I would say is that I'd want a little more seasoning. Other than that 8.5/10. The garlic naan was a 7.5/10 cause it could've used a little more garlic, but that being said it was still yummy. Overall., moksha was a great spot to check out to satisfy my Indian cravings. I will definitely be returning.
