Tried this place with mixed reviews in mind, but definitely had some hope that it will satisfy my craving for a classic Indo-Chinese street style fare, and it definitely did to most part of the meal. We got ourselves, Chilli chicken (dry), Egg Hakka Noodles and Szechuan Fish gravy, they were all good, but the chili chicken was the star, perfectly spiced, tender and juicy, nicely diced peppers, just spot on. Noodles were excellent too. The fish was not very appealing and the gravy tasted a little raw/from the jar type. Can't really comment much on the service, as we went on a Monday night, and we were the only one dining in, and I think the person who served us was the person who owned the place. The only negatives from our first visit are, for a three dishes, shared between two it costed us $50 which is very expensive according to me considering this is no fancy place. And the fact that a $5 gratuity was automatically added for a two people table, very uncommon from my experience. Over all a decent fare, if all you are looking for is Indo-Chinese flavors.

A local joint in North Brunswick NJ. It offers a fusion of Indian, Malaysian, Thai and Chinese food. The dish full of rich flavor and Spices, which I like a lot. The price is reasonable and has good portion for sharing with friends and family. I recommend this place when you are in the area and want to try something local. You won't be disappointed.

Food is just ok. Fried rice is below average. It has green peas and very few other veggies. Chili paneer dry was nice. Chicken lollipop had no taste. Just fried chicken without any spice.

Mixed Hakka noodles with chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and hot garlic sauce

I ordered the mix Hakka noodles with chicken, shrimp, vegetables, and hot garlic sauce. It was quite tasty and had a nice spicy kick to it. Spice level for me: 5 out of 10. Spice level for the average person: 7 We also ordered the lotus with honey and chili sauce. It was tasty and pretty spicy. My spice rating: 7.5 / average person rating: 11! However, when we asked how spicy it was they said a very under rated 3. I like spicy so it was good for me. The food was authentic indo-chinese. The owner Reena was nice and chatted with us a bit and told us the origins of the food. The waitress was quite attentive and accommodating, bringing out a bowl of hot water to help put out the fiery food. Come her if you like authentic indo-chinese food and like spicy food.

This place is a solid three stars based on decor, service and food. Not special in any way but nice enough if you live close by. It is a little out of the way for us, but I tried it based on a Amazon voucher. Decor is nice enough. I will post some pix. Tables are laminated with an interesting Oriental pattern. Cloth napkins. Carafes of water at the table. Since the water is put out before service, it is room temp, not chilled. Normal silverware. I assume that chopsticks are available upon request. In many Asian restaurants, it is the other way around. Background music was something jazzy, American, not ethnic. We stopped in early for lunch on a Saturday, ordering from the full menu. Corn soup was decent. Hot and sour soup was just passable and had a lot more heat than normal. My wife had the lamb in a Malay curry sauce. Nice sauce. The lamb was good, not exactly tender but properly cooked. I had the shrimp in a Thai yellow curry sauce. The sauce was just OK but there were six nicely cooked jumbo shrimp. Both dishes served with a side of basmati rice - light and fluffy - not sticky rice. Both portions are big enough to bring some home. Price value on the menu is excellent, even without a coupon. While contemplating the sauce on her lamb, my wife commented that no bread was served. Not unusual for a Chinese or Thai place but since this place is fusion I would have expected some naan. After the meal, I asked our server if they had any coffee or tea. Nope. I thought that a Thai iced coffee or a chai tea should have been available or maybe a nicely presented pot of Jasmine tea. Out of the way for us; but I would be back if it was close by. As I said earlier. Good but not special. Worth the money. Location is on Rt 130 North, across from Shop-Rite. Parking in front is limited but there is a large parking lot in the back, driveway is on the right as you pull in. Unfortunately the menu is not available on line. I will post a pix of the takeout menu - which is not as extensive and a couple of bucks cheaper than the dine-in menu.

If you want to know what spice is, you should eat here. Even mild will get you sweating all over.

Spicy food, OK service but too much spice for someone who is used to mild food. Their Hakka noodles and Vag manchurian are delicious

Proper Delhi wala taste- don't miss their dal makhani, butter chicken, kadai paneer with Lacha…read moreparantha! In appetizers - my go to are chicken tangdi and angaare chicken! Also the fish tikka is absolutely yum!

I stopped by here for dinner while in the Princeton area on office trip. While the ambiance is nice…read moreand the standard Chicken Kebab was beautifully served and genuinely delicious, the rest of the experience was a massive, overpriced disappointment. For a restaurant that charges significantly more than other Indian spots in the area, the quality of the food and service simply isn't there: The Food: The Mango Lassi was so incredibly sour it was undrinkable. The "Fish Kebab" was just basic deep-fried fish with a terrible taste. The Kadai Chicken was nowhere near authentic--it tasted like a generic, basic tomato-onion chicken curry. The Paan: To top it off, the server insisted I try the Indian paan. I reluctantly agreed, only to be served a completely dried-out betel leaf that felt like it had been sitting around for two weeks. The Service: The friendliness was nonexistent. The two tall servers working that day were incredibly cold, uninviting, and gave off an intensely hostile vibe as they escaped from prison. I considered really complain about the food, but decided to just pay and move on. Between the overpriced, poorly executed dishes and the lack of basic hospitality, I won't be returning. Stick to the standard chicken kebab if you absolutely must go, but honestly, you're better off finding authentic Indian food elsewhere.
