    Chicken Tikka Masala & Garlic Naan
    Theresa M.

    I ordered food to go and everything was AMAZING! I ordered the Samosas, Garlic Naan, and Chicken Tikka. Samoas were large and filled with so much potato! They also came with two sauces: one green and one brown (not sure exactly what they were) but omg, SO TASTY. TIP: Put both sauces on the samosa and thank me later! Chicken tikka was perfect - good amount of tender chicken and so much sauce to dip the garlic naan in. This dish also came with white rice. The portion size is enough to feed two people with an appetizer! Food came quickly and was very fresh. Passing by the restaurant, it looks super clean and elegant. Will be ordering again and definitely will need to have the dine-in experience.

    We returned after a long time for the weekend buffet. It wasn't that busy, got table right away. The buffet menu had all the show stopper dishes today, with biryani, korma, bhindi masala, chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, fish curry, chicken 65 all in the line up. Loved the chicken biryani. It tasted so good with fluffy rice, tamarind mix with such soft chicken. Bhindi (orka) masala is always my favorite. Tandoori chicken and chicken 65 were excellent too. The service was good. Our plates were taken out of the table regularly. They constantly kept an eye on all dishes to make sure they are not empty or stale.

    Downtown Dhaba is the go to local Indian restaurant for us. We're always able to get in on weekends without a reservation but if you have a party over 4 people I suggest calling ahead. The restaurant has about twenty tables with plenty of space between each one. The employees are always friendly and always offer assistance if help is needed if your new to ordering indiain food. I've tried most of the curry's and haven't ordered one I didn't like. This time we ordered the chicken korma and lamb bhuna gosht with the must order garlic naan. As a plus it's a BYOB so bring your favorite wine to pair.

    I came here today with the buddy who lives a few towns away and we were craving Indian food so we decided to come here because he has been here. Very clean atmosphere inside and friendly service. I got the chicken tikka masala with a side of garlic naan (and white rice) and it was a great portion. The chicken was very tender and delicious.

    Weekend lunch is usually buffet style. Love the food options, chicken, fish, goat etc. They also have salad and dessert. It's not a big buffet options but it's good for me. Staff is very nice and quick service. Very nice set up inside. Many tables and spacious.

    This is one of the best Indian restaurants in Bergen county! The food is consistently delicious. My favorite is the appetizer tamarind eggplant. It is vegetarian with eggplant and chickpeas. It has a little bit of spicy and is so creamy. For entree I normally get the tikka with shrimp or lamb. I always ask for it spicy because I like the heat! Their naan is a must! I love to dip it in the sauce. Portion sizes are large and I always have left overs. Service is good, they don't rush you. BYOB which is a plus!

    I visited for the Sunday lunch buffet OMG this place is a gem! Absolutely fantastic food! I was craving for a Indian buffet ( those varieties that you can enjoy ) google it this was the only place i can find in NJ bergen county. It took me 30 mins to drive there just to have indian buffet. I am so glad i did! Foods are delicious! Staff is so nice and friendly. Clean space. Food conditions are checked by staff consistently. Finished dishes are taken seamlessly Highly recommend! A++++

    Garlic Naan
    Cortney H.

    Went here last night after a long discussion about where to go last minute with no reservation. My husband and I have been here countless times and this time deserves a review. We were sat immediately, and given their yummy papadam and sauce trio which was great because we were so hungry. They added some new things to the menu since we were there last which caught my husband's eye. He got the Lamb Pepper Fry and I got my go-to Chicken Korma, we also got an order of garlic naan. Our food came and it was one of the best experiences we've had there. My korma was creamy and delicious with the perfect amount of spice and my husband's lamb was 'dynamite'. The naan was a nice addition to the meal as well, some of the pieces were a little more burnt but still good. When we were done packing our leftovers we let the waiter know we had a gift card but it wouldn't cover the whole bill and to put the rest of the balance of a credit card. He returned rather quickly and informed us that they just updated their system, were having issues and could only use $30 from the gift card; which had a $50 balance on it. My husband very nicely explained that we got this same response the last time we ate here (over a month ago) and tried to use the same gift card. The waiter apologized and attempted to run it again, miraculously it worked. We left with a little bit of a bitter taste in our mouths because of the gift card situation which is why I am giving it 4 stars and not 5. Otherwise, it would definitely a 5-star, but we will definitely be coming back, not using a gift card though :) Great food and byo!!

    Ordered takeout and service was so fast. The butter chicken I would've preferred larger chunks of chicken as there was so much sauce. Overall very good food.

    Chicken Vindaloo is just like it looks, flavorful but wicked hot!

    Warning: new ownership or chef. The food is very different from what we've enjoyed for years. Sadly, we don't plan to return.

The service was…read morefriendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming--one of those meals where everything just clicks. The Spinach Soup was a great opener--smooth, well-seasoned, and full of bright, comforting flavor. Shrimp Balchao was the highlight. Sautéed with ginger, garlic, and tamarind, it delivered a perfect mix of heat, tang, and richness. Bold, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. The Garlic Naan came out fresh from the tandoor--soft, lightly charred, and packed with garlic. Ideal for soaking up all the sauces. Mutter Paneer, with tender paneer and green peas in a spiced masala, was creamy and fragrant without feeling too heavy. A classic dish executed really well. Nani's Chicken Curry featured tender chicken simmered in a flavorful blend of spices and onions, with rich, layered flavors that built with each bite. Final Take: A standout lunch with great service and thoughtfully prepared dishes. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and full of flavor. Definitely a spot I'll return to.

The colors are balanced and nice!!! 3 waiters attended me . The cashier was also attentive to what I needed. Entree snack: SPINACH SOUP, which was delicious and some small toasts green and yellow and an orange dressing with a slightly sweet flavor; I did CHICKEN BIRYANI (medium spicy; you can choose more spicy). It came with yogurt on the side and a regular Coca-Cola. The waiters were very fast to deliver my food, and they were always attentive to when I asked for the bill and a bag to take the rest of my food home. The total of the account with taxes was $23.46 dlls( Consider that two people can eat with this dish )and you can put the tip you want. The place was hyper clean and very well arranged. The service was impeccable. Of course I'm going back. Keep up doing a great job, team. I'll be back soon, God bless you!!!

    Fresh, flavorful Indian food from a trusted favorite! I grew up eating Hocco back home, so seeing…read morethem open in NJ was such a win. The new Paramus spot is bright, clean, and easy--self-serve setup, quick service, no fuss. We tried the Pav Bhaji, Smoked Paneer Tikka, Butter Chicken with Naan, plus Chhaas and Nimbu Pani. Everything hit the spot - especially the Tender paneer tikka & the spicy pav bhaji. The Nimbu Pani was just okay, but that's a small miss in an otherwise excellent meal. Great quality, neat packaging, and authentic flavors. Definitely my new go-to when the Indian food craving hits.

    While visiting nearby restaurants, we saw this new place that opened recently. Modern cozy inside…read more The menu has a lot of the popular Indian dishes. Most of the dishes had some sort of spice, very limited non spicy options. They pre make the base sauce so the spice level is not adjustable. We ordered a lot of the dishes from the menu starting with corn chaat and samosa. Corn chaat didn't really have corn, it was more like corn flakes with tomatoes and onions. The dish was blend, it needed some dressing sauce or yogurt on top to make it tastier. Samosa had good potato fillings, came with green and tamarind chutneys. For entree we got the chicken tikka masala, chicken korma with rice, naan and garlic naan with Amul cheese. Tikka masala was super delicious, thick spicy sauce. I was so glad to see chicken was moist not dry. Korma was a good too. The rice was cooked with jeera, had wonderful aroma. Both naan were excellent, loved the Amul one especially, it was so cheesy. We had the brownie ice cream for dessert, was a yummy one too. The mango lassi was also good, was on the thicker side. All our dishes came out so quickly, almost seemed like they had everything ready to go in the kitchen. It's semi self-served, plastic forks, spoon, knives and plates are next to the register. They serve the dishes in to go boxes, so very easy to pack any leftovers, just need the lids. Overall we loved the food and the atmosphere. Glad to see a good Indian restaurant establishing itself in the area.
