Paneer Dilruba

I live in NY and I wanted to eat some great Indian food in NJ. I checked this place out seeing all the viral videos in Instagram and hoping we would have a great food and ambiance. Food taste was just ok and the quantity was not good per price point. They had Valentine's week celebration. We ordered 1 mango lassi for $9( cheap restaurant depot lassi), paneer tikka (4 piece of paneer) for $25 , jhangeer chicken( ok) and paneer dilruba ( good) , Lachha paratha and naan( cold and not great). The bill was $125. Service and ambiance were also not great. They added automatic gratuity of $13.75 for 2 adults and 1 kid. Food presentation and paneer dilruba was good.

The food was the star of show . Stellar service by Bindu , Pradeep and the entire staff was a close second , followed by the lovely dim lit ambiance. Every dish surpassed our expectations in its flavors, presentation and blend of spices . They left no stone unturned in getting the menu description delivered. Bhindi masala the most underrated curry a highlight in todays meal . The okra was cooked al dente with light spices , where you could taste the vegetable . It was unlike most restaurants where it's doused in an amped up spicy curry . Dhabha Chicken and Paneer Pasanda ( creamy cashew rich) were winners all the way . Pepper panner , Paneer tikka and Jehangir Chicken kabab were soft and lip smacking delicious . Lamb chops had a good spice coating , but was a bit chewy , maybe a tad overcooked. Paneer Biriyani had fluffy rice and spice coated paneer pieces cooked typical Hyderabadi style, Desserts were not appealing to me . Mango kulfi was the only saving grace. Mango fried ice had some syrup and desiccated coconut like topping which didn't blend in with the ice cream flavor . Double ka meetha wasn't the traditional kind . It had small pieces of fried bread dunked in rasmalai topped with nuts , which didn't offer the perfect chewy , gooey bite that I was looking for . This place is still a winner given everything else was outstanding. It is a fine dining kind of place and is priced that way too . Enjoy a lovely evening meal with family &!friends and bring along a beverage of your choice as they are a BYOB place .

Was going to North Brunswick area and googled this restaurant.. was looking for some quick Indian snack/tea/ dinner and went to this restaurant... had good reviews .. location was a bit wierd . Was tough to find this place. Was next to apna bazaar ... from outside it looked average but the interiors was super awesome . Nice ambience . Lots of parking outside .. Service could be better .. took them 10 mins to serve us water and take the order . Welcome drink was interesting !! Was reallyyyyy good . Chai was good too. Veg manchow soup was spectacular.. been a while since I had an authentic manchow soup.. cutlet and few other stuff were also good . Price wise it was slightly expensive than all other restaurants around . Biryani costs 20-30$ !! Overall a good ambience and good experience. Need to go back and try few other stuff . 4 stars !

I cannot say anything about eating in this restaurant...I only used the catering services. They were amazing to work with! We discussed the menu and everything over text, as I was coming from out of town. Chetan even helped figure out where to put the buffet, as we were very tight on space. In the end, we didn't have space for the more elaborate fancy serving dishes, but everything did fit when the aluminum tins were used. Each dish was labeled beautifully. We had people with different dietary issues, so everything needed to be labeled. Dairy free, gluten free, meat/vegetarian, etc. They came and set everything up and picked up the next day. We didn't need any servers. The staff that came to set up were so nice. I would definitely use them again and can't wait to dine in the restaurant when we return in the summer!

Pros- -Ambiance is nice -location is convenient and plenty of parking Cons- -Food is average. Mostly milder with less spices and less salt. There were 2-3 tiny stones in a curry. -Expensive for average taste -Service can be improved

I was excited to get some Indian food. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted. The place was super cute. We were served different foods that I enjoyed, especially the naan and the butter chicken. This place is a byob. I wasn't a fan of the virgin margarita. It was a bit too salty tasting. The experience was really good!

We got the: Solkadi…read more4/5 - great flavors, very close to authentic but less spicy + not as garnished with cilantro, ginger and garlic Kokum sarbat 3.5/5 - loved the tang but wasn't expecting it to be sparkling (ie served with soda) Kothimbir vadi 3/5 - too oily and extra-fried. Could have been softer. All the flavor from the kothimbir was lost Vada Pav 3/5 - the vada was great, the pav was a disappointment. It was bun and not exactly pav. Too dry Puri bhaji 4/5 loved the bhaji (salt was less) the puri was okay. The Shrikhand was quite good Bhel Puri 3/5 was alright - nothing stood out positively or negatively about it. You could skip it. Pani Puri 2/5 - don't order it. You'll be disappointed if you did :/ Overall, I'd recommend going there if it has been a long time since you had Marathi food and are just craving it. It could be that this place is better for Malvani seafood and meat-based dishes but nothing extraordinary about the vegetarian food. Service was good and the place is tidy. Restrooms separate for male and female - maintained well. The restaurant is in a shopping plaza so plenty of free parking in the lot outside.

This is the same spot where Nirvanis was which closed probably due to less traffic . The same owner…read more has opened Mauli as a Maharashtrian speciality restaurant at this location . Inviting ambience attentive staff and nowto the food . Appetizers Thecha Paneer and kothimbir wadi were lip smacking delicious but the seafood thali was a let down . Surmai fry was the only saving grace . The fish curry lacked the kokum punch and the sukkat ( dried fish ) failed to impress . The Rice Bakri was made well . But the combination with the fish curry was blah. Gulab Jamun was soft with mellow sweetness. Maybe their Maharashtrian lighter fare may be worthy of an another try . Will post an update if we tried it again .

Came back again few times and the food fresh has always been so yummy. Love the chole bhature, papri chaat, pav bhaji. Interior is upscale casual, clean, comfortable, cute.

I'm pretty unclear on how this made it into the NYT's best restaurants. Perhaps the reviewer had…read morenever tasted chaat before and was so overwhelmed by their first experience that the impressiveness of the dish turned into a misplaced admiration for this decidedly mediocre outpost for North Indian snack foods. In any case, the chaat was good and I appreciate that they have the famous tokri (basket) chaat that's popular in Lucknow, with a crispy base housing a delicious mix of curd and papri inside. All of the chaats were generally tasty, although a bit on the sweet side - we tried the SPDP, sev puri, and papdi chaat. The chai was terrible, some sort of adharak doodh with no tea flavor whatsoever. We had to send the entire batch back to be replaced. Mains were mediocre. I first fell in love with Amritsari kulcha at kulcha king at Sarojini Nagar, and I'm always eager to order it when it comes up on a menu. But the kulcha itself was lacking some flavor and the chole was just fine. The bhature was a bit too crispy without any fluffiness for my taste.

I visited Tikka Masala Indian Fusion in North Brunswick on a rainy Saturday evening, and the cozy,…read morewelcoming vibe was exactly what I needed! As the name suggests, the restaurant brings a fusion of global and Western favorites with Indian flavors, along with a huge selection of vegetarian, non-veg, and Chinese dishes. The Gobi 65 was so good--definitely a must-try for vegetarians! And if you love non-veg, don't miss the Tikka Masala Assorted Platter, loaded with chicken tikka, chicken malai, tandoori chicken, lasuni chicken, chicken seekh, and lamb achari. The portions are generous, making this a perfect spot for family and friends to share a meal. I'll definitely be coming back!

We tried Tikka Masala for the first time as a party of 2 on a Friday night around 9pm. We chose…read morethis restaurant because they are on the inKind app which offers rewards that can be used at participating restaurants. There were 2 other tables when we entered and we were seated immediately and told to scan the QR code for the menu, which opened up to Toast Tab, which is not the ideal way to view a menu. Within a minute, we were greeted by Louis (who handles the hospitality at Tikka Masala) and he asked if we wanted any drinks or were ready to order, but we needed a few minutes to look things over. He said to wave him over when we were ready, so I did and we decided to start with the Gunpowder Chicken appetizer medium spicy. He asked about entrees, but we told him we were still deciding. After picking our entrees, I called him over again and he said, actually he would come back after our appetizer was dropped off. Shortly after, the appetizer came out and it looked great. A good portion size, nice presentation, and good spice level. We snapped a few photos, which caught the attention of Louis so he came over and encouraged us to enjoy the food and take lots of good photos for a review. I mentioned that we post on Yelp a lot, but he seemed concerned and said Google is much better as the community uses Google, so I let him know that we'd be happy to post to Google as well. He reminded us that his name is Louis and he handles the hospitality at Tikka Masala if we would like to mention him in our review. As we neared the end of our appetizer, he came over for our main order. We chose Chicken 65 Biryani (spicy), Chicken Tikka Masala (mild), Chili Garlic Naan, Spicy Garlic Chutney, and a Mango Lassi. He read the order back, but did not mention the spice level on the Tikka, and I assumed that was because the default was mild, but it came out without any spice. Everything else sounded good, but we ended up with regular Chicken Biryani instead of Chicken 65. We were hungry and it was late, so didn't feel any need to correct this as we like both dishes equally. After all the dishes were dropped off, Louis reminded us to take lots of nice pictures for the review. The Biryani portion was large and the spice level was on point. The Masala came in a large dish with lots of curry, but the amount of actual chicken was lackluster, so I did not feel the value in that dish at $21. Our usual Indian joint is $17 for chicken tikka masala and the amount of chicken is literally double and we always have leftovers. They did not have any Spicy Garlic Chutney, but Louis said Mango Chutney was available. We politely declined a couple times, but he urged us to try it, so said yes, and it was alright, but we wouldn't get it again. The Chili Garlic Naan is SPICY, so be warned! Literally stuffed with chili and will scorch you from the first bite! I was only able to handle one piece, as I usually stick with mild-medium spice. As we finished our meals, Louis brought the check and reminded us each to leave a separate review on Google. We paid on inKind and took a few pictures of the place before heading for the door, where we were reminded again about the review. The inside is quite nice and clean with lots of seating at tables and booths and low-lighting. Overall, the food was decent and we would consider trying some more dishes. Hopefully they can sort out the portion sizes as the appetizer and biryani were good, but the curry was small. Louis was an attentive and friendly server, but we could have went without all the review reminders. As I was writing this review, I heard a rustle in the bushes outside and I quickly went to the window where I thought I'd see Louis offering one final reminder, but it was just a pigeon.
