Food is absolutely delicious! We picked up several dishes and by the time we got home(10 minutes drive ) they were still hot.

Amazing place!!!! We come here at least once a week. Sometimes twice. Awesome food. Great staff!

Reading the amazing reviews brought me to this place with high expectations. However, it wasn't up to the hype. The food range doesn't have too many options for an "Indian & Pan Asian cuisine." When I heard the weekday buffet price went up from 9.99 to 11.99, I thought maybe they would've added some more options but I was wrong. They just want to follow the standard price around and keep it as high as possible. Not that I have a problem with that, but keep in mind unlike most lunch buffets around here, this restaurant doesn't include Garlic Naan, masala chash or mango lassi as part of the buffet. They charge extra for everything!! Also, hear me out: when we ordered naan, we ordered 2 Naans and 1 roti and as normally I'd expect, they would've brought the basket and put it on our table. We ordered this before we went to get our food and we waited the entire first round hoping it would come. They got to our table when we finished all our curries without rotis lol and when a waiter came to our table, he served 1 or 2 pieces per person and walked away WITH the basket. He didn't come back to offer more and we didn't want to ask individually when we needed more bread. How's this fair??? I get it that you want to serve everyone while its hot but you should also consider visiting every table frequently to ask if they want more. 1 bread piece is all i got and it was super late :( My coworker said the chili chicken had too much soy sauce and was salty. We also got garlic naan that was charged extra but it was good. The mailbox with the bill is kinda cute and innovative. Overall, the food was average on a Tuesday menu and I would've given it 2 stars for the food but the 3rd star goes for the nice decor and ambiance they have here. read more

Service is horrible. If you are thinking of spending quality time with friends/family during dinner than avoid this place. The moment we sat until we left, we felt that we were rushed out. The restaurant was half empty yet the manager came to us and told us that he needs to clean the table. We were just shocked. We never got this kind of rude service even the restaurant packed. How do you kick out customers? read more

Very disappointed with behavior over phone!!! A friend called to ask for a reservation to celebrate her husband's birthday and was told they get many requests for celebrations! They cannot provide a table for everyone who requests for that reason. They could just have mentioned that they cannot accommodate her request and it would have been alright. Please don't tell customers that their request is ridiculous!! read more

Love this place! The food is wonderful and so is the staff. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and inviting. Best Indian restaurant in NJ! My husband and I go to "Chef's Table " at least once a week. Love the chili Gobi Manchurian and of course chicken masala. Chicken malai is great too as is the palak paneer! read more

Friendly and prompt service. Presentation is on point and surpasses the typical indian food presentation you're used to. It's a culinary experience for indian food. Came back for lunch buffet, wasnt blown away, but for Oak Tree Road--def best there is. Clean and again service was key, they definitely hit the mark. read more

Very good service, good tasting food, beautiful decor and atmosphere and excellent presentation. These are some of the words I will use to describe Chefs Table. We are foodies so will travel 1 to 2 hours just to eat. The ambiance is very modern not like your typical Indian restaurant. The service was very professional and the waiters were constantly checking on us. All the dishes that we had tasted great and had their own unique flavors. Dessert presentation was very good. Chefs Table has set the Bar high for others to follow. What I like about them is you don't have to empty your deep pockets to enjoy a delicious meal. And the best was their smiling host. Trust me good luck finding a happy and customer service oriented staff at Indian restaurants. Thank you Chefs table we will be back. read more

There wasn't a huge selection of food, but the food was decent despite the lack of spice. I wouldn't say it was worth the price of the Sunday buffet ($14.99) but I suppose the decor makes up for that. It was surprisingly decadent. I guess in conclusion it's alright. I guess being an Indian I had higher expectations for the food. read more

I came upon this place while visiting my bank (Chase) earlier in the week. I'm currently doing an externship down the road at JFK and was curious to see if this would be a good place for lunch. I'll be honest, the huge "LUNCH BUFFET $9.99" caught my eye. I decided to go on in and grab a menu, but the door was locked. Apparently, Chef's Table is closed on Mondays. As I did my about face to head back to my car, a gentleman happened to be letting himself back in the building and informed me they were closed. He mentioned they opened just two weeks ago. I told him I was curious about the buffet and he then told me offerings were a mix of Indian, Asian, and Italian. Hmm. Interest piqued. I returned today with my boyfriend during my lunch hour at 12. This place opens at about 11:30 and stays open until 2:30 for lunch. They open again later for evening hours at 5 pm - 9:30 during the week. They stay open until 10 pm on Fridays and Saturdays. This place is nice. The furniture is really cute and it's a spacious, open set-up. It was pretty empty when we arrived, but even if it were packed, I don't see it being too cozy. A bunch of tables that seat four and some cushion bench seating along the walls. Colors reminded me of what you would see at P.F. Chang's. Lots of blacks, grays, and bronzes. Very, very cute. Since this place is new, it was dead, but as time progressed more people started showing up. There seemed to be only one gentleman waiting on tables - that was enough for that time, but I could foresee that being a problem if they ever generate a lot of business. However, they may have back-up. Okay, the food. I'm pretty sure you can order a-la-carte if you would like, but as I mentioned before, we came for the buffet. This isn't your typical buffet set-up where you have rows and rows of food in those metal trays underneath heating lamps. This is way more upscale than that. There were about 10 pots of hot food available. Mostly Indian, but there were some Chinese and fusion options as well. There was one pasta dish: a penne in sauce, but it was actually very, very good. Out of the 10 or so options, about five of them were vegetarian. I won't remember all the names, but there were vegetable noodles, a paneer dish that was in a kind of a masala but not masala, cumin chicken, rice, and you know what, a bunch of stuff that was just GOOD. The cumin chicken was probably my favorite and whatever sauce the paneer was in was so good. I kept scooping it up with naan. Oh yeah, you get a pretty generous basket of naan for the table along with your meal. Your water also comes infused with fruit and mint, I believe. On top of the hot items, there was a salad bar with a couple of Indian cold items. There's fruit as well. They also had gulab jamun, which if you don't know, they're these small balls of dough (think donut holes) drenched in a syrupy kind of mix (but not as sweet). Absolutely delicious. Bonus points for presentation as everything was very clean and well presented. The fruit was even cut up in really fancy pieces. Oh! And there's also an open area where you can see a gentleman making the naan by hand. Loved it! Everyone here was super friendly and the food was excellent. When we asked for the bill, it was brought over to us in this cute red metal mailbox! Points for cute ideas you might see on pinterest. When you're ready to pay, you place the cash or credit card in the mailbox and they pick it up. Not very practical, but I like the creativity. All in all, a very pleasant experience. The only downside I can see is food running out quickly. It wasn't very busy and when I went up for my second plate, the food was dwindling rapidly. If you plan to go for lunch, I'd get there early to make sure you get dibs on all the deliciousness! I've heard this location isn't the best for restaurants. It's hard to view when driving on Oak Tree, so the turnover is high, but I'm hoping Chef's Table will be around for a while. I definitely plan on making this a regular lunch venture in the future! read more

We ordered 4 appetizers and 3 mains, all of which were really good. At the end of the meal, we got the check, left a tip, and left the restaurant. The staff ran up behind us to let us know that gratuity was already included in the receipt and told us to adjust the total amount downward. Thought this was a gracious move on their part. read more

Came here for a lunch buffet with some friends and we were surprised. This area has plenty of Indian and fusion restaurants but it can definitely compete some of the staples in the area. Price was reasonable and the only reason I didn't give it the full 5 stars is that I haven't had a chance to try the dinner. Their tandoori chicken was bomb read more

Great food! We ordered pav Bhaji fondue, kofta and moorg korma and pan kulfi, falooda kulfi for dessert. Everything was delicious. If you are a group of 5 or less and go on a weekend before 8 PM the wait time is not terrible but if you are group bigger than 5, the wait time could be an hour or so! We were 5 and waited for about 15-20 mins. read more

Went twice already and it's been pretty good. Delicious food and great service. Hope it stays like this. Amazing lotus root appetizer and kofta. Will go there again! read more

I would like to give them 3.5 but for Yelp :) Went there on Valentine's day for lunch and the buffet was $12.99 instead of the usual $9.99 since they mentioned they added a couple more items. However, being a vegetarian, I found there was lesser items to choose from compared to regular buffet at other places. There were definitely more choices for non-vegetarians. Food was definitely good in taste, specially samosa chat, however, I took a half star off for the paneer which was overcooked and a bit hard. Like the concept of mini post-box they get at the end of your meal. Would return to order from à la-carte menu once. read more

Very very good. Lots of spice so if it's a problem ask for mild. Butter chicken melted in the mouth. Chili shrimp and cauliflower were a treat. Samosas very very spicy! read more

Warm decor, wonderful indo chinese fusion, excellent service. Went on saturday night at 7 and it was packed. We waited about 10 minutes for a table for three. By 8pm there was a line outside. This is a very welcome new indian restaurant to the community. read more

Delicious Indian food and fancy interior! Very friendly staff and friendly owner! Definitely recommend!

Extremely Bad Customer service very rude we were called back after putting our name on the queue we were then told that table is getting ready and shocked that they said again that not table is available and they tried to call and update so unprofessional and rude read more

Ordered Chicken Tikka Masala dining in. Entree did not include much meat, and did not include a side of rice as to what I would typically expect. Charged me $6 for a side order of rice, which was a tiny amount. Will not return here. read more

We went here after a few friends recommendations that were all raving. We went around 7 on a Tuesday so beat the rush but the place started filling up around 8/8:30. We sat outside and the place is well decorated and quaint. There was a live singer doing Indian songs and he was quite good but it was louder than I'd expect, harder to have a conversation over the singing especially cause it's not a huge open space. When he walked in the person at the front told us Indo-Chinese food isn't available for the menu outside which was kind of annoying. Why are the menus different depending on if we're sitting inside or out? The options were good but nothing amazing from what i could see. We got the chili chicken dry which wasn't spicy but well seasoned. For the main entree we got chicken tikka which was comparable to most Indian restaurants. The waiter was nice but didn't give us many suggestions and took some time getting back to us. In general the food took some time to get out but not terribly long. If you're picking between another place on Oak Tree for Indian, i will you suggest giving Chefs Table a try for sure but mostly for its ambiance and less for its amazing food (which seeks to be better if you sit inside). The pricing is decent around $15-20 for an entree which can be split with two people. Doesn't come with side of rice, must order it separately if you want along with any naan or breads! read more

My wife and I came for the lunch buffet today and I am in love! Everything was fresh and very tasty; I tried Cumin Chicken for the first time and enjoyed it. The buffet had enough choices as not to overwhelm you. Our server was very friendly and made sure we were well served. I look forward to coming during dinner and enjoying the fare then. I definitely will return! read more

I truly enjoy the food here. Actually now thinking about it I should order some take out for dinner... anyways they are clean, the food is delicious and everything I have ever tried is nothing but satisfying. read more

Great food and ambiance. Buffet appetizers amazing. A nice a change from the older restaurants, like Rasoi and Mughal, on Oak Tree Road. read more

Chef's Table - Kulfi and mango ice cream - Indian Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Taking patrons for granted. Not a good way to do business. Specially catering. They have a buffet lunch on weekends. Long waiting time. Can handle that. But after waiting 45 mins, you get seated, and half the things are finished. Servers don't seem to care. Even after pointing out to refill the empty chafing dishes... they give a dirty look. As if it's our fault that we got seated close to their closing hours. Then the owner notices the interaction. Brings what's missing to your table. Ok. You made me happy (really?) What about others who couldn't muster up their courage to ask? There was no special discount for people who waited 45mins, and it just happened to be your closing hours. So you don't care if they don't come back a second time. That's exactly what we, a party of 6, decided to do. read more

The Ambiance of this place was very good. The way things were presemted was sometjing you could go for. As far as food is concerned, it was not up to the mark. We ordered the pav bhaji fondue, which was extremely hard to.eat. i like the odea of pav in little pieces, but the idea of dipping it in a curry, does not go hand in hand. We also ordered lamb chops, which were not well.done either. I loved the way they provided you with a hot towel in the end to clean your hands. The little things were well thought of, but i hope they put more thought into the food as well. read more

Great experience. Food and service were perfect. Feroz and Laman made our dinner wonderful. Their recommendations were right on spot.

Service was extremely slow and not very friendly. The food was below average . For the price it was not worth it at all. Rude service

Ever heard - too much style and no substance - well Chef's table is a personification of that. Went on a Friday with my family for buffet. The selection is immense but the taste is well below par. The only thing that tastes good was the daal and noodles. $15 for a buffet on a week day is a rip off and so is that auto gratuity. If not for it's fancy decor and India like service this place stands no chance. I should have listened to my wife and gone to Rasoi for buffet read more

This place has some mind blowing Indian/fusion food. It's one of my favorite restaurants in edison. Personally, Indo-Chinese is much better than regular Indian food though. Customer service is really great. The food is little bit on the expensive side, but it's well worth it. Plus, this place is BYOB! read more

After checking reviews for this restaurant wanted to eat food and try those delicious food. Everything was good until we get a server (Name: Laxmi Narayan) to take our order, he was acting weird while we order food from the menu. At first we thought he was joking in sarcastic way all ours friends where not happy with his behavior. At last food came to our table and started eating food. Here was the second time we all got pissed off with his behavior, without completing our food he took off the plates while eating without asking and that was very rude. Later we thought did we pay money only for half food...! But thats not true. Sorry to say this but this restaurant is having very bad server no decency or respect to customers. Hope they change these kind of people and keep this restaurant name as good as it is now. read more

The food is amazing at this restaurant; however, they have a snobby manager who has no customer service skills. This one server made up for the entire management team. The manager: told us we couldn't sit where we wanted to because he wanted the table in case they got busy. Didn't come over to talk to us when our order was not coming out on time. Purposely kept us waiting for our food until everyone else got theirs who came after us. Looked away when we left and laughed at us from a distance. This has been the most horrible experience of my life. Two stars for the awesome food. read more

The food here is amazing and presentation is also pretty good. Service is good and polite. This can be considered as a hidden gem in edison area. Aam panna was the best. Pav bhaji fondue i loved it and so was the manchurian. Paneer was very soft and delicious. Loved everything I ordered (vegetarian stuff) read more

I ordered $40+ worth of food and nothing was edible. The tempura shrimp tasted like leftovers that were refried. Absolutely disgusting. The veg fondue tasted off and the bread was stale. How can they sell leftovers to customers so shamelessly? I called the manager and he refused to offer any refund because I couldn't bring the food back to the restaurant in the middle of the night on a weekday. Horrible experience. Overpriced for low quality/inedible food. Don't bother with this one. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, great decor. All around really great experience. The lamb chops were COOKED TO PERFECTION. they even light them on fire tableside. The kebabs were also incredible. we had the dori kebabs, and they actually brought out the kebabs and unwrapped the string (dori), which was awesome. For main dishes, we had the dhabha chicken and the kofte. Both super flavorful and amazing. I was so stuffed leaving the restaurant. The service was amazing as well. The best Indian food I've had in a long table. I highly recommend going here!! The experience where they bring out the food and also the amazing flavors of the food is honestly awesome. read more

I came here with my mom for the lunch buffet and we both really enjoyed ourselves. The ambiance is pretty and they have a beautiful outdoor area. The waiter was very attentive and refilled our glasses and provided naan and extra napkins without us having to ask. All of the dishes they had for the buffet were delicious and gave us the chance to try new things. Highly recommend! read more

Great ambiance with great tasty food. Will definitely go again and again. The staff is very friendly also

My husband and me were very disappointed with the service and the food at this place. We have been very loyal customers of Spice Zone for many years and unfortunately it closed down and we went to this place as it was run by the same people. It was a Friday night. The manager Mr. Raju is a total whacko, totally disorganized. Very forgetful and was calling people totally out of line. We had been waiting already for 45 minutes when he had initially told us 30 minutes and then we found that he calls someone who just had entered.When we questioned him, he starts apologizing and made the couple get up from the seats and gave it to us. I felt that was absolutely rude. Once seated the order came with our soup cold. My husband sent it back to be heated but looks like he just put it in the microwave and brought it back. There was steam coming but cold at the bottom. The only thing good was the Nan bread and Malai ke kaliayan. The chicken tikka masala again was cold and watery. Looked like it was just heated in the microwave and brought out. In all a very disappointing evening. The arrogance of Mr Raju is what took me back, he said we can complain about him and he does not care. There was another family who had just come in and they said they have experienced the same with this guy. Not sure why Chefs table is hiring people like him and destroying their reputation. read more

Great food overall. Quality is much better than most of the restaurants in the area. The lamb chops are not just spectacle, but great in flavor. Felt rushed when the waiter advised us that we should put our entire order in as soon as we sat down since it could take a while when we were not even concerned with that, hence, I had to take it down one star. Aside from that, definitely worth the visit. read more
