    Gluten-free and vegan menu

    My family recently moved to the state and despite our love of Indian food, there are so many choices that we couldn't easily decide! We decided on this place as our first exposure to Indian food in NJ because they claim to cater to all diets and are accommodating for food allergies. My youngest has multiple food allergies including to wheat, eggs, and nuts. The family as a whole follows an allium-free vegetarian diet, so we usually request for Jain options (but potatoes are very much welcome). This restaurant takes up most of the moderately run down strip it's in and it's certainly located in an interesting spot. We had to turn left to get there and because that wasn't allowed, there's a roundabout way to actually get on that side. There's parking in the front and more around the back which was where we ended up parking. The place itself has got some character! I can't even pinpoint the theme they're going for but they seem to be popular and there were a number of tables during the time we were there on a Saturday night... mostly special occasions - a date, a celebration, large family gathering. They were aiming to be more than your casual Indian eatery. We were the only non-Indians there, which I found interesting. We told them we would like Jain options and food allergies were in play and our waiter was changed to someone who had more knowledge. Upon asking, we ended up getting: PALAK PANEER: he said they couldn't guarantee that it would be allergy free but our kid's go to is this so we ordered it. Both kids enjoyed it but would have loved it even more if it weren't so very spicy. Haha. I forgot to take a photo but this was a deep dark green, spicy, but a decent amount. Overall reasonable for the $20 price. My kid with the food allergies finished all the leftovers once home so though spicy, he still enjoyed it, but he can take spice. Note: the paneer is soft! I wonder if it's house made. MASALA DOSA: I forgot the full name of what we got... Mysore? But it was approved to be food allergy safe. The size of the dosa is impressive. It's perfectly crisp and the potato filling was quite nice and spicy. As expected. It came with 3 different chutneys. We placed it in front of the kid with multiple food allergies and LUCKILY the waiter stopped us before he tried them. Their tomato chutney contains peanuts. Oh. My. Goodness. Sadly, it was the only one my son looked remotely interested in. The adults thought it tasted good. My picky kid only really liked the dosa (she does NOT like spicy food). TANDOORI PANEER KATI ROLL: we had no idea what a Kati roll was but we were intrigued. Rather filling, simple, but quite good! Economically priced as well compared to other items. PANI PURI: I love Pani puri and this was my request. The presentation was over to top.. placed on a mini carriage and all. I really liked this but wish I got more because one of kids ate most of the puri. Haha. They perhaps could have done without the wheels but it was good. PLAIN NAAN: it's $3 for only one piece, by the way. Ouch. It's decent sized but my picky kid ate it in no time and wanted more. ROSE LASSI & MANGO LASSI: I found these overly sweet, artificially flavored, and in way-too-small glasses. They had some sort of syrup drizzled on the sides. For $8 each? Not worth it. Overall, it was a pleasant and surprising experience. I still remember when the panipuri came out. I wasn't expecting it (but someone ordered a pina colada and that came out in a beheaded pineapple so it's perhaps not as out there as I thought). It is on the pricier side. I haven't been to many Indian eateries in the area YET so I don't have a proper sample size to compare to yet so we'll see. Service wasn't bad. They tried, but clearly are used to Indian clientele. The food is definitely catered to locals which I enjoyed but I needed my napkins. Major points off for being "knowledgeable" about food allergies and their main dish that was promised to be allergen free appeared with a major allergen. BUT if no food allergies were in play, this place is fairly solid. Jain options were on the limited side but not terrible and we enjoyed what we had aside from the lassi. So.. 2 stars for the major oversight bumped up to a 3 because if that hadn't happened, I likely would have given them 4. Luckily, my kid's allergies aren't airborne but some people with peanut allergies can get a reaction that way.

    I had a great experience at Bombay Spice II. We started with a rose flavored falooda with basil seeds which was creamy and delicious. For appetizers, I tried the chef's special vegetarian appetizer that came in a martini glass, such a fun and unique presentation, and the chicken 65 which was spicy, flavorful, and really well done. The sizzling prawns were amazing. The dosa was excellent, perfectly crispy and filled with spiced potatoes and topped with cheese. It came with coconut chutney, tomato chutney, spicy chutney, and sambar, the lentil vegetable soup that traditionally accompanies dosa. Everything paired really well together. We also ordered the curry chicken with garlic naan, which was rich and comforting. For dessert, I had mango ice cream served in mango purée with fresh fruit and dried fruit on top, a perfect way to end the meal. Great food, presentation, and overall experience. I would definitely come back.

    My best friend and I came here for dinner to catch up. Service was amazing. quick seating and friendly staff. The place itself is nicely decorated and quiet, which I really liked.Drinks were solid. I had the beetroot, cucumber, orange juice and my friend had the carrot, apple, pineapple one. Both were good. We ordered samosas. they were just okay. Then came the main issue: my butter chicken had zero flavor, and my friend's curry goat was spicy but had no real taste to it. The naan was fine, but nothing special.Honestly, I was really disappointed. Service was a 10/10, but the food was more like a 1/10. It didn't taste fresh at all, and I've never had bad Indian food until this place.

    Samosa Chat

    I came here for the first time with my parents because of high reviews (we are from out of state) and it was totally worth it. Still satisfied from the visit. The decor/ambiance, staff customer service, start to finish, was very refreshing. Bombay Spice II has a variety of options on the menu and cuisine was the perfect quantity, fast, unique in presentation and very modern. Overall, this spot showcases the high quality flavors of India (samosa chat bursting with flavor, awesome hot ginger chai, spicy and tangy vada pav, savory chicken kati roll and sweet mango lassi with bubbles). We highly recommend to all visiting Edison, NJ!

    Cute decoration and sit down place. However the restaurant could be cleaner and look less under construction. Service was terrible and slow. We had to remind our server multiple times for our food. Food was the most disappointing Chinese bhel: 0/5. The Chinese noodles were stale and bhel had no taste. I honestly had no idea what I was eating. Paneer Kati rolls: 3.5/5. decent but nothing to go crazy over. The outside roti was well cooked and stuffing was fresh. Would not recommend coming back

    Mango ice cream
    Shankar V.

    While the food is presented well, the taste is subpar Nothing like Bombay chat. Neither bhelpuri or Pav bhaji failed to impress in any shape or form. Vada Pav was good Masala chai while tasted good came in a paper cup and the left with a feeling that you are not drinking in the restaurant Service is good Staff is good ambiance is nice,m

    Ambience and service were great. My table of 3 was located in a small booth area, allowed us to have nice conversation and was comfortable. Pav bhaji and vada pav were good. Presentation on pani puri was great, and pani puri was also good. The puris themselves were ok and the filling was a bit boring. We also ordered a mango mojito but it was not really a "mojito" since there was no carbonation and it was kinda thick, it was still good though . One thing we appreciated was that they actually used mumbai pav, adding to the authentic flavor. Our waiter was very nice and we will be coming back to Bombay Spice! 7/10

    This place has good service but the food was not good. They need to understand people are coming for distinct desi taste. Also coming for quantity and quality. The food was something we can make at home for $5-10 from grocery store supplies. We paid $35. Try to give better quality and quantity.

    Chicken 65 Noodles

    Food: We ordered two kati rolls the Mughlai Chicken Kati Roll and the Lamb Kati Roll. The Mughlai Chicken Roll was really good flavourful and huge! We didn't expect such a large portion, so that was a nice surprise. Before the rolls arrived, we also had Cheese Pav Bhaji, which was tasty and well-balanced. We also tried the Chicken Hakka Noodles, but they were quite bland. We asked the server to remake them with more spice they did, but it still didn't quite hit the mark for us. Kati Rolls are a must-try here! They have a wide variety of options in both veg and non-veg, so there's something for everyone. Service: The service was excellent. The staff was attentive and checked in regularly to make sure we were happy with the food. They were friendly and proactive, asking if we needed anything else. Ambience: The ambience was great lively music, nice lighting, and comfortable seating. There's space for larger family dinners (10-15 people) as well as a more private section for couples. The private area isn't completely closed off but gives a quieter, more intimate feel perfect for those who prefer to avoid the main crowd.

    Apt description of this place , I don't think a picture of food is needed   This restaurant is unnecessary and can be replaced

    Most of the stars I am giving for the ambience My picture Is a correct review of the place , why is there a socket in the wall beside the restaurant table ? Why does this whole place exist? Food didn't seem like a possible reason The menu is very good , but sadly you cannot eat paper Food not so good We ordered pani puri, Pav bhaji , butter chicken roll and chicken sizzler Pav bhaji was not great , they should remove Bombay from their name for this Some bites of the sizzler were good . Some seemed unnecessary Same with butter chicken roll where half the bites were decent half of them seemed off Placement of meat and other stuff was very abnormal. Not the best Kathi roll or even the worst one I have had Definitely not worth it mixed review but overall I would say bad place to eat food

    Veg Manchurian
    Harshil S.

    Ordered veg manchurian and veg sizzler. Service was quick, as if everything was almost ready. Manchurian was sweet. Sizzler wasn't even sizzling. It didn't look or taste like a sizzler. Prices were high compared to food quality. Ambience was ok.

    This apparently is their "DRY" chilli chicken !!

    One of My Top 3 Spots for Goat Chop Curry…read more Bombay Blue has easily become one of my favorite Indian restaurants. Their goat chop curry is outstanding and definitely in my top three places to go when I'm craving it. The food has that authentic, home-cooked flavor that is hard to find. The service is just as good as the food. Lakshman is an absolute superstar and one of the best servers I've had. He's attentive, friendly, knows the menu, and genuinely makes sure you're taken care of. The owner is also very welcoming and makes you feel like you're a guest in his home rather than just another customer. It's BYOB, which is another big plus. Great place to bring the family, have dinner with friends, or stop in for a good meal after a round of golf. I've eaten at plenty of high-end and Michelin-starred restaurants, and when it comes to the overall dining experience--food, hospitality, and how you're treated--Bombay Blue can compete with some of the best. So far, this has been one of my best dining experiences of the year. Great food, great people, and a place that genuinely feels like home. Highly recommend it.

    This was my first time here. We went yesterday for a Rakshabandhan celebration with family -- 6…read moreadults and one 5-year-old. I had heard a lot about their Indo-Chinese food, so that's mainly what we went there to try. We ordered Chilli Paneer, Veg Sizzler, Schezwan Fried Rice, Veg Manchurian, Veg Hakka Noodles (baby mild for my daughter), and a Mango Virgin Mojito. Portions were okay and the food looked good when it came out, but honestly, the taste was just okay. Most of it felt bland and was missing that Indo-Chinese flavor and kick I was expecting. Since I had specifically heard that their Indo-Chinese was good, this was probably the most disappointing part for me. I would give the food 2 stars. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Ambience is definitely 5 stars. But it was so hot inside because the A/C wasn't on. At one point, even the gentleman serving us was sweating. When we asked about the A/C, he had to go ask the owner if he could turn it on and seemed worried about getting in trouble for doing so. I actually felt bad for him. One other thing that felt strange was that the person taking our order was dressed very casually, almost like nightwear, while the gentlemen serving the food were professionally dressed. I normally wouldn't even pay attention to something like this, but when a place has upscale pricing, you expect the whole experience to feel a little more polished. The staff serving us were nice and trying their best, so I would give the service 3 stars. I feel some of the issues were probably not even in their control. Overall, 2 stars for my first visit. Beautiful place and okay portions, but between the bland food, the heat inside, and the prices, I personally didn't feel the experience was worth spending top dollar.

    Nagpuri Saoji

    4.2(32 reviews)

    Saoji is a fiery, deeply spiced, mostly non-vegetarian cuisine said to have originated with the…read moreHalba Koshti weaver community of Madhya Pradesh. When the community migrated to Nagpur in 1877, their food followed -- spreading through the tradesfolk and mill workers who embraced its bold flavors. Today, Saoji is considered the signature cuisine of Nagpur: intensely spiced, unapologetically hot, and built around powerful, roasted masalas. Tonight we ate at Nagpuri Saoji in Voorhees (they also have a location in Iselin), and these two spots are reportedly the only places in the U.S. where you can experience this cuisine in its full, blazing glory. To Start We began with sabudana vada -- the classic Maharashtrian fritter made from tapioca pearls, mashed potatoes, peanuts, and spices. Served piping hot and impossibly crisp outside with a tender interior, they came with two chutneys and were absolutely sublime. Alongside that was goat sukka, a dry-style mutton preparation associated with the Mangalore and Udupi regions, with spice influences tracing back to Goa and even Arab and Turkish traders. Coriander, fennel, cumin, black peppercorns, and fenugreek give it depth and warmth. It was bold, savory, and incredibly flavorful. The Curries I ordered chicken kala masala curry, and it was deeply earthy, nutty, and robustly savory. "Kala" means "black" in Marathi -- referring both to the color and to the roasted spice blend itself. Cumin, coriander, cloves, cinnamon, stone flower, coconut, sesame seeds, and chillies are roasted and ground into a dark, complex masala that lingers beautifully on the palate. We also ordered Goat Handi, with tender meat in a velvety, aromatic gravy, and a Malwani goat curry, made with Malvani masala from the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra -- a spice blend that balances heat with coastal warmth and depth. Rice, plain naan, and indulgent Amul cheese naan rounded out the meal. Dessert We finished with Sitafal Rasmalai (custard apple-infused rasmalai) and Jamun Rabdi -- both creamy, fragrant, and perfect against the lingering spice. A Few Notes Like much traditional Asian cooking, the meat dishes are cooked on the bone -- so eat mindfully. And if you request "hot," they mean hot. This is not toned-down spice; this is the real deal. I was thrilled to try dishes from India that I've never made before. Saoji cuisine is bold, unapologetic, and absolutely delicious -- and I'll definitely be adding some of these flavors to my home repertoire. If you have the opportunity to try this cuisine -- do it.

    Kind of a letdown! I…read morefinally decided to try this place after hearing a lot about it. I know it's popular for the saoji chicken but being a vegetarian I had to stick to their veggie options. I visited this place for dinner and they were out of a lot of things. I got the shegaon kachori, Misaal Pav, Tarri Poha and Sol kadhi. Shegaon kachori was the best option amongst the lot. It was super crispy and the filling was nice as well. Tarri Poha was a let down. The tarri tasted weird so it ruined the entire dish. Same tarri was present in the misaal too, so this dish was ruined too. Sol kadhi was average. The service was fast and the ambience is okay-ish. Honestly, would not recommend this place for their vegetarian options!

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

    First unlimited thali experience and we had alot of fun dining here trying all the different sides…read more 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!!
