Delicious food, nice ambience, excellent service. Clean and hygienic. A must try Indian vegetarian restaurant. Will go back again.

Very good food. I came here with my family after my graduation.The food is hot and fresh. The ambience was nice.

Here's a polished Google review you can post: We had a wonderful dining experience at Atithya Kathiyawadi! The food was incredibly fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. We especially loved the Methi Gota, Dahi Puri, Aamras, Khaman Dhokla, and the Atithya Special Thali. Every dish tasted freshly prepared and reflected true Kathiyawadi flavors. The quality, taste, and hospitality made our visit memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Gujarati and Kathiyawadi cuisine! read more

Enjoyed an absolutely authentic Kathiyawadi dining experience today! We started with Khaman, Methi Gota, Dahi Puri, and Samosa Chaat - each dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For the main course, the Kaju Gathiya, Vagharelo Rotlo, and Ringan Bharthu were outstanding. Every dish carried the rich, homestyle flavors that make Kathiyawadi cuisine so special. The highlight of the meal was definitely their Special Unlimited Thali! Packed with a variety of delicious dishes, it was a true feast and a must-try experience. And the Ras was simply incredible - sweet, refreshing, and so delicious that I couldn't get enough of it! If you love authentic Kathiyawadi food, this place is definitely worth visiting. Looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

PROs- no wait time and location and decent food CONs- service , some dishes tasted average I was happy to see a Kathiawadi restaurant near Edison and wanted to taste it . We always go to Sayreville restaurant but that one has so much of wait time . There was no wait time in athithya and location wise it was good. Lots of space inside to sit and dine . Ambience looked below average . Thali was about 22$ , and price wise it was ok.. service was bad. They keep the thali and go inside kitchen and don't even ask you what you want . In Sayreville restaurant they keep going around asking customers what they need and keep filling the food . We ordered a Kathiawadi thali and Punjabi thali . More than half items were common in both thalis . They had dhokla and few other Gujarati items in Punjabi thali !!! I don't know the names of the dishes but some were very oily and no salt/spice in them . Some were really good . Punjabi dhal was extra ordinary . Gujarati dhal rice was superb . Paneer items were ok . Samosa / sweet were good . Overall we had an average experience.. 3 stars read more

First unlimited thali experience and we had alot of fun dining here trying all the different sides. This restaurant is vegetarian so no meat option available. We got the Kathiyawadi and the Gujarati thali. You get complimentary sides that had pickled cabbage, peppers and red onions. They also had 3 sauces - I'm not sure what they are but one tasted like ginger candy, one mango chutney, and the last one was a savory spice dip. You start your thali with a butter milk, which I am not a big fan of. It tasted like watered down savory milk. If you're not familiar with Indian food and is just here to try the different taste, I would recommend picking between the Kathiyawadi and Gujarati thali for one, and then get the Punjabi thai. The Kathiyawadi and Gujarati tasted very similar with only 4 of the dishes being different. Ultimately they were all just different ways of preparing eggplant, chick peas, and tomatoes. The Punjabi thali might taste a bit different than the two. Overall I was a bit disappointed by the lack of variety with the vegetable and taste even though this was a vegetarian place. I think I'm also not used to Indian food and the spice so it is not for me. The staff were super friendly and patient explaining the dishes. If you like Indian this is a place not to miss!! read more

I was doing a happy dance the whole time I was eating! Gujarati thali $22 (4 Shak, 2 Farsan, 2 Sweet, Rotli Dal Bhat Papad, Pickle, Salad, Masala Chaas) - this was all really good but the one the boyfriend and I enjoyed the most was the dal. We've had dal before at other places, but the one here was just so delicious. Samosa chaat $7 so saucy which is my favorite thing about chaat Vada pav $9 boyfriend's favorite Pani puri $9 shell held up really well! Regular pav bhaji $11hot and flavorful Very friendly staff who was very patient and explaining what was in each thali to us. Thank you!! We'll be back for sure! read more

Atithya Kathiyawadi - Regular pav bhaji $11 - Indian Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

Phulka - Hot soft airy phulkas Lasuniya batata - simple garlic flavored potato curry - a perfect accompaniment for the phulkas Dhayir waited at our table and he was patient , explained the dishes well and suggested their specials and their unique offering Vaghrelo rotlo that was a must try . Vaghrelo rotlo was honey one of a kind dish that I tasted for the first time . - have not seen this on the menu of any other Gujarat restaurant. Their condiments were fresh and added the need lift to the meal . Must mention the jaggery which is unique Not a fancy looking place but food was delectable and authentic . Walk in through the Piizza place and this restaurant in on the right side . Both places are owned by the same person . Service was top notch and personal . I will be back and would highly recommend this place . read more

I LOVE INDIAN FOOD! Even earned a Yelp fan badge to prove it. But I've never had the pleasure of experiencing authentic Kathiyawadi cuisine until visiting this establishment. Three words to sum up the food here: DEE - LI - SHUS! Meat eaters be advised that this menu is vegetarian only BUT rest assured that the flavor more than makes up for the lack of meat. In fact, there's absolutely no need to eat meat if you're regularly eating from Kathiyawadi kitchens. Admittedly, I was a bit confused when I first approached the restaurant because the entrance was shared with the neighboring pizzeria. In fact, the dining rooms are conjoined. It's sorta a weird layout. We order d the Gujarati Punjabi Kathiyawadi and Chana masala all of which provided a broad sampling of various dishes featuring rice, chick peas, lentils, potatoes, dal, among different sauces and accompanied by a stack of at least 10 papad. Everything tasted SO GOOD! Can't wait to visit again to explore the menu of thalis. read more

The menu on the website is inconsistent with what they have. I ordered through their website the tiffin take out special. I should have gotten 2 sabsi, 4 Rothi, dal, and rice. What I received was pav bhaji. When I called the restaurant to let them know of their error, a manager named Darshan berated me and said I should have ordered through a WhatsApp group instead of online. Then he tried to gaslight me and say that they don't even have a website. Just an overall horrible experience with this restaurant. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

5 stars if it was less dirty. Great food although I don't know what I ate was called! In fact, my waiter selected some items that only my photo will document what I ordered and ate. But it was delicious! If anyone reading this, including the restaurant management, wants to tell me what I ate for future reference, I thank you in advance. read more

This place felt like I was eating lunch at a friend's place. The vibe was homely and the service was very good. The staff were welcoming and very warm. I ordered a Gujarati thali and my mom and husband ordered kathiyawadi thali. Both came with 4 curries. All were delicious and it was all you can eat. The samosas in the thali were very tasty. The chaas was very tasty too. read more

We went on a Sunday and ordered Kathiyawadi thali and Gujarati thali. If you are expecting any of the food to be spicy at all you will be sadly disappointed. Everything was extremely sweet. The thali is unlimited but they dont walk around serving food, we had to call them multiple times over and over to ask to serve and each time they would ask what do you want and bring only that 1 food item, which is crazy if the thali is supposed to unlimited. The serving vessels were dirty on the outside, the tables were tiny for the size of the plates so you are constantly juggling where you place things. If you are hoping to eat in peace that is not happening at this place. They served Gulab Jamuns Ice cold and said we do-not serve hot Gulab Jamuns. read more

Amazing food. Same taste as Indian thali in India. Baingan bhartha tastes great along with other sabjis. Smokiness of bharta is amazing.

Large dining room, attentive and friendly service. The thali plate was really good, especially the khichdi, ringan bharta, and sev tameta. read more

Had a lovely dinner ... The food was delicious. Well prepared. Delightful.... It's a very lovely comfortable restaurant. The service was very attentive and generous. I recommend it. I'll eat there again. read more

Ordered delivery: I'm just disappointed in the restaurant and its ethics about food allergies and customers??? Is questionable. Ordered Dhokla and regular Pav Bhaji Mild. Instead, I got Khaman and very greasy bhaji. No chopped onions. Taste is acceptable. But why would they not call if they didn't have what I ordered? Honestly, I'm allergic to chick peas flour which the Khaman are made of. You be the judge, very left white are Dhokla do they look anything like Khaman to the right? Nope. And the Bhaji is very greasy. read more

We are a repeat customer. But the quality has degraded. The utensils were stained and outright dirty. The shrikand was dry and had a weird flavor. The Curries were so so. Everything needs improvement including bathroom!!! read more

Great Gujarati thali. Loved it. Nice ambiance a bit spartan but apropos. Absolutely above Excellent attention & service--definitely living up to their namesake "Kathiyawadi" service. Recommend go hungry to do justice and bring friends. Small gripe: Papad was not as crispy as it needs to be ... will certainly go again to see if they fix that and earn the 5th star. read more

Atithya Kathiyawadi - Gujarati thali - Indian Near Me - Iselin, New Jersey

We ordered 3 types of thalis. Everyone seemed to be the same, having the same base but with different ingredients in it. It was either red or green or pale yellow. The food was hot and fresh & the waiters were very friendly. Only warning is - DO NOT USE THEIR RESTROOMS- even to go wash your hands. It is terrible. It is a wonder that the health services have not inspected this to let this go on. We compalined - they asked the men to use the women's restroom as they said it was better- but really it was also messy. The sink has NEVER BEEN cleaned & the floor is full of paper. They need to have one of the restaurant staff check this often. For this reason I will not go back as I am not sure how hygienic anything else could be. read more

Amazing food! Get Thalis and Masala tea. Lovely chutneys and pickles to accompany the various curry dishes. Friendly service. Casual atmosphere. read more

Unlimited katiyawadi Thali was on point . They had good choice of Sabji . I wish they gave something other than gulab jamun.

The food was tasty especially the kathiyawadi thali. The servers were super friendly and made sure our plates will always full. We got a feeling of India. It is very spacious inside . read more

I'm usually skeptical of 5 stars but this place deserves every one of them! The food is excellent and the staff is so cheerful, interactive and helpful. The location is very nice and clean and a respite during hot days! We ordered a Punjabi Thali and a Gujrati Thali. Everything is bottomless (!!) so you can order refill of any of the dishes or drinks that come with the Thali. Our favorite dishes were Undhiyu, Chana and Dhokla. The rotis were amazing. read more

Delicious food and great service. Beautiful space. Tip is added to the bill. Get there early for buffet.

The taste was excellent, but the food was not sizzling hot. Samosas and Sukdhi were finger licking. Overall, the experience was excellent; it would have been 5 stars if the food had been hot and the service had been little faster. read more

Saying I'm not a fan of indian food would be a major understatement, but after making friends w the owner of Metro Pizza rt next door I gave it a shot.. I did need them to tell me what ea dish was as the menu is "USELESS" to non-Indian foodies since it only lists the name of the dish & not what it's comprised of so ppl w allergies beware. Food was actually edible & nothing like I imagined.. read more

Darshan and Nidhi run hell of a show at Atithya Khatiyawadi. Them and all other employees are the friendliest people you will meet on planet Earth. All types of Indian food is delicious. Vada Pav is so far the best on what so called American Soil. I can't wait to try each and every item here. I told owner how bad of a experience I had at Khatiyawadi Kitchen at Sayreville. The owner was rude and nasty where I requested him to take his bread and give me back soft bread and he refused and no eye contact to customers. They used to be great once upon a time now it's shit their food. Way too much EGO problem like Ravan ni lanka dhoobi jaase ek divas. Anyways back to Atithya pizza maker is so cool and makes perfect crust pizzas. I had whole pie which is cheaper than buying a slice. I spoke to Darshan and Nidhi. I spoke to Darshan second time when I had Black Pav Bhaji. They made sure if everything was perfectly done. 100 thumbs up and 100***** instead of 5****. You will love Atithya Khatiyawadi anything you try here. If you don't go here then you are missing the best restaurant. Hats off to Nidhi and Darshan once again see you soon for Vada Pav. As long as customer service is the best and I see owners here are humble like what I see now I am your forever customer as always. Good luck and Jai Shree Krishna! read more
