    Place is really close to campus and an easy walk- Tried their lunch boxes and they are great for money. Had their Chicken Tikka lunch box that came with one protein gravy- one lentils-rice-naan and a apetizer. All that for very decent price and food was good too. This was one of the best lentils i have ever tried. Portions very quite decent too. Will defo return for lunch specials. They have many options in their lunch boxes varying from protein to vegetarian.

    Chicken samosa

    We came to dine outdoors here and loved that the tent was so romantic despite the state of the world. They had music going, twinkle lights and Nassau street in the summer is always a nice ambiance to just enjoy a meal. As for the food, we were impressed with how fast the service was considering they had to run in and out of the kitchen upstairs and bring it out. We started with a delicious Samosas appetizer and I could've honestly had another plate of those and called it a night. But we decided to order a Mint special Kebab Platter as well. It came with a ton of chicken and some fancy potatoes too. Although the seasoning on the chicken was great (there were about 3 different types)! I definetely could've used some sauce with it because it was a bit dry. Not inedible dry...I guess I was used to other very saucey Indian dishes and wanted something to pair with a charred meat. Overall I would return, the food was good and the service was fast.

    conveniently located near princeton university! This place is a little older looking inside but overall is nicely decorated and a great place to eat. my friends and i stopped by around 3pm on saturday and it was not crowded at all. the thali is a great deal at only $22.9 for all those little dishes! it had everything i love to get when i order indian food. i would definitely come back and get the same thing! my friend got the biryani which i tried. it was served so nicely in the clay pot with naan over the top! the biryani was not bad, some parts did not have a lot of flavor but my friend noted it may have helped if he mixed the entire bowl up before eating. i got another thali to go for another friend and the portions were even larger in the to go! overall great place with good food and kind staff. i will be back!

    Mughlai Chicken Korma- absolutely delicious!

    Came here around 6:30PM tonight (Saturday) and enjoyed a nice dinner. Would recommend reservation, but also looks like there is outside dining. Our absolute fave was the Chicken Korma. My mango lassi was good too and not too thick like at other places. We also got the mint special (like a mixed grill) and lobster bisque. Lobster bisque was a little too salty for us, but we try to keep to low sodium so might be normal for other people. My only complaint is that it was very warm inside and just one fan circulating. I tend to run cold and was sweating. That was a bit uncomfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and staff was super friendly!

    Not sure I'd bother again with this place. My order was over an hour late and they less than honest about where the food was exactly.

The restaurant looked very clean with no garbage or debris on the floors or on the tables. The staff: The staff here are friendly, and they greet you and thank you with a welcoming smile. Prices: The prices here are pretty much similar to other ramen/noodle shops anywhere you go. Basically, it is a decent price for what you get now a days. Taiwanese popcorn chicken: This was cooked thoroughly and was delicious when you bite into it. This was definitely worth ordering if you decide to come here. Ultimate Lanzhou beef noodles: My brother said this noodle soup was not spicy at all. In fact it had too much of the black vinegar taste instead. The beef was cooked thoroughly, and the noodles were just all right with nothing special. Lanzhou beef noodles: The soup base for this noodle soup was very bland as if it was just soaking in water. The beef did not have flavor but was cooked thoroughly. The noodles would have tasted a bit better if the soup base had a little flavor to it. Overall: I might give this place a try again if I ever come back down to the Princeton area. Otherwise, I probably would not take the 1-hour drive down here just to dine at this noodle shop. A suggestion would be that they should try to perfect the soup base as the noodles are already good.

The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

Glad I made a reservation via Google Assistant b/c it was a full house plus tons of people waiting (1hr) for their takeout orders. Great sign! We ordered quite a bit for 3 of us b/c we're excited to try them out. We loved them all especially the wontons in the authentic sauce as it should be (not in sesame or peanut sticky sauce), the salt/pepper chicken as how I remembered from back home, the delicious noodle soup with tender beef and tendon, and the flavorful black bean fish. The restaurant is nice and clean. They're busy but the kitchen was pretty quick. The waitress brought out the dish as it's done, not waiting to serve all dishes at once. We actually preferred this way. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. We really enjoy our dinner. It's less than 30 min for us; we will definitely return to try some Sichuan dishes.

    We came here on a Sunday morning and there was only one other party seated, so it was pretty quiet…read more That may have been due to it being MLK weekend, with many people out of town for the long weekend. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Wrap, which was excellent, packed with chicken and very filling. I ended up taking half home because it was both generous and delicious. The side salad was also surprisingly good. We ended up returning later for happy hour, which takes place in the room to the right of the hostess stand. I highly recommend stopping by for drinks and bites if you're in the mood for classic cocktails and solid food. Happy hour is first come, first served and limited to the bar only (around 15 seats total). We arrived right when it started, and when we left about 40 minutes later, the bar was about half full. I'd definitely come back to try their dinner or to enjoy their happy hour again.

I got the scallops over peas with bacon as my main meal and man was it amazing. Best scallops I've ever had. I am trying to decide if I want to leave my current spot and work for him.

I have been here multiple times…read moreand can safely say that this is probably the best AYCE sushi buffet in the Central NJ area. Even if there is a wait, we have never waited longer than 30 minutes for a table. The service is very prompt and waiters are very good at checking on you and refilling your drinks, cleaning up your table, or asking you if everything is good. The food is ordered via paper and pencil, you select what you want and provide it to the waiter. They send the order to the kitchen and you receive the food when it comes out. For an AYCE buffet, the fish quality is consistently pretty good at Hiro. They offer Nigiri and Sashimi on the menu, as well as classic and specialty rolls. If I could suggest one thing it'd be adding hand rolls to the menu. The tuna and salmon here are consistently good and the yellowtail was surprisingly good. They have a bunch of different appetizers ranging from edamame, sushi pizza, to tartar, most of them are actually very good. The kitchen entrees are very good as well such as the kimchi fried rice and the Mongolian beef. Although it's not the most spacious inside, the way they set up the booths and tables it gives you enough separation from other tables to not feel super crammed inside. Highly recommended for an AYCE sushi spot in Central NJ!
