this place is such a hidden gem. the food is so delicious. i absolutely love how yummy it is and for the price! if you want some really yummy food, stop by! i absolutely love the dosas, i brought my leftovers for lunch today!! i haven't personally had any pastries but that's because i'm vegan, so can't speak on that! the service is awesome! we always end up chatting! the place inside is so cute too. i think if you want a good place to sit and eat food with someone you care about, this is the place for it. even if you want to be by yourself, the atmosphere allows for it. oh i forgot the best part, it's open till 9pm! As someone who hates when places close early, this is a place i can come to after my late nights at work. it is marvelous! read more

$18 for a biryani for the average quality and quantity provided. Not so great for the price.

Name change, location change but same bad yucky food. I just understands why places like this fool people. Not one dish tasted good. We had ordered Bombay veg sandwich, what we got was potato masala spread in between with slice of onion, cucumber and tomato. Onion samosas were so oily. Chicken tikka puff was another highlight dish- puff that was stuffed with flavorless stale chicken. Dilpasand was no were close to the real one. One kind request if you guy have no true intention in selling proper fresh food kindly stop wasting your time and our time and money. read more

Food was great but pretty pricey for the servings. My lamb curry was expensive but didn't come with rice / naan, and I had to buy separately. Has a cafeteria ambiance, felt cramped and needed to move around people Loved the wide selection of food - they have all types of entrees, snacks, and baked goods. Would want to come back and try out other foods read more

I recently discovered this gem, not for their cakes which customers buy in abundance, but for their curries. I have enjoyed the goat curry and fish pulusu weekly without exception. The food is tasty, the ingredients fresh, and the staff is super friendly. Highly recommend them. read more

Definitely give this place a try! I always get the papdi chaat and have never been disappointed. It's a very casual place with a decent amount of seating and the food is served in a timely fashion. This is a great addition to Plainsboro. My family's favorites: - aloo papri chaat - aloo tikki chaat - chicken tikka panini/wrap ( better than paneer tikka in my opinion) read more

This joint used to be Hot Beads before they had them take the name off. The place also burned down a few years ago. Food: the food here is good. They have very good South Indian dishes. The paper Dosa is really big. Ample sambhar and chutney are also served. You cannot go wrong with the pastries for something sweet after the meal. Service: the service is subpar. Sometimes the guy doesn't even greet the customer. I understand we are paying and you are serving food, but it doesn't hurt to say hi & thank you. Ambience: the seating area is also below average. It gets crowded and the tables are not always clean. read more

Their pastries and cakes are nice light and not too sweet. Thier paapdi chat is noce but their food is not good with takeout as even if u request them thry dont pack their chutneys and sauce seperate so it gets really soggy and not edible hence three stars. Also if u order idlys they give u sambhar but i once asked for just plain sambhars for taking home but they dont do that. I was ready to pay for it but they refused. Maybe they didnt have enough and this was when they opened in the morning. Ambiance is ok cafeteria style. Its a clean place and have a lot of homemade biscuots and snacks. read more

The food is phenomenal, staff is very friendly and helpful with menu. Place is clean and tidy. We truly enjoyed our food !

So much potential here. Unfortunately not as expected. Ordered idli vada and vada pav. Idli was stale. Vadas were inedible (dry, dense, stale). Vada pav was the only item which was somewhat ok. As soon as one walks in, a strong whiff of frying/oil slaps you in the face. Desperately needs a better exhaust system. Was there for a few minutes and left smelling like oil and spices. That coupled with completely unorganized and cluttered look, it is far from inviting. read more

Came here with a friend who lives close by. Their food seemed good, we tried masala dosas and idlys. The order took forever to be ready and it didn't look like there were too many people waiting before me which was weird. read more

Apart from chat, all other food items are below average! Don't go by the name of the Dosa, they all are pretty much same with very less masala fillings and average taste... read more

Extremely poor customer service, Mayuri was unable to manage a 8 pound cake order. Have used them for the last 7 years and after Vishwa, the baker has left the management has not been able to manage the business. Unfortunately we are compelled to take our business to another private baker. read more

There seems to be a fair variety of bakeries in downtown Princeton, but there's something that makes this one different. No, besides being in the middle of a bedroom community. It has the mainstays to be sure: tiramisu, creme brulee, etc. They're all individual size and look tasty. Given the name, it's no surprise they also have full size decorated sheet cakes and the like. Personally, I only have a mild sweet-tooth, so I actually headed to the shelves on the right as you enter the door. The fact that this is actually an Indian bakery then becomes apparent, with Mava (Khoya) bread, and the rather large but otherwise generic looking dinner rolls labeled as Pav bread. I have yet to try the Mava, but the Pav is actually really well done - moist, soft, and a hint of actual flavor and character to it. A completely different level from what you'd find in any supermarket bakery section. That's right, I'm writing this review based on "plain" bread rolls. I believe the care taken on the simple things shows a lot about a business. Is the bread before an Italian meal worth eating? Is the rice in sushi or in a donburi a good variety, or does it need to be covered in sauce? I will definitely be back to try the fancy bits another time when my sweet-tooth comes out to play. read more

Best things on the menu are Pastries, Samosa, Peserattu, all south Indian preparations are average and Sambhar is not too authentic. Stay away from Chaats, specially dahi puri. Owner and servers are very unfriendly, there's no concept of customer service. The worst thing is that they charge for extra sambhar.Hygiene is at most questionable. read more

This is the best place to grab some snacks and pastries cooked/baked Indian style. My favorites are the egg puffs. Puffs are stuffed crossaints, these guys have fabulous veggie curry, egg, paneer n chicken options. Their assortment of dosas and vada sambhar is fresh n flavorful. The indian style masala sandwiches/paninis are good too. All these go best with masala tea or Thumbs Up ! The south Indian items r much better and the reason for 4-star are the not so greatly executed chat items and sandwiches read more

I had the chicken tandoori roll. The chicken was tasty, but the roll was kinda gushy. I would still like to try their falafel, some of the mumbai dishes, and dosa. The ambiance of the place needs serious work. There's random paintings that clearly have nothing to do with the type of baked goods or food they are serving. The roll reminded me quite a bit of Kati Roll, especially because it was nice and overpriced the way most Kati Roll places are. $6.25 plus tax for one Chicken Roll is really over priced. Overall I felt like this place was trying to sell and do one too many things at just one location. Regardless its going to do well thanks to mass amounts of Indians in the area. There is nothing special, or signature about this place. read more

Excellent South Indian food! Nothing beats home cooked idlis and dosas but this place comes pretty close out of the many South Indian restaurants I've tried. Service is fast and the place is neat. There's indoor seating but can get pretty crowded on the weekends leaving no place to sit. The bakery part.. Delicious, fluffy, eggless cakes!! The choco flex, butterscotch, and Black Forest cakes are a must try. Chicken curry puffs are also delicious. read more

This is our 'canteen' close to work where we get reasonable chaat, good dosas, great vada/pongal/vangibath! Their pastries are awesome too! Basically, it's a good fast food place with high quality/price ratio. read more

I don't believe this place has such low ratings. More Yelpers should try this place. Amazing dosas and vadas. Curry puffs and pastries are great. I get all my Indian friends who visit me to try this place out. The name is deceiving but the food is absolutely Indian including the masala chai. Quite close to the Indian grocery store. read more

This is a good place to have a quick meal. The variety is great. but does not have all the items on the menu available. But ok for quick lunch or snacks. Service is kind of slow. read more

Im gonna give this place a five star because it seems to be underrated by other yelpers. I would have never thought that this place has banging dosas from their name "cake walk" lol but they do!! I love any dish with potato and dosa has lots of potato filling so I really enjoy it. The only down side is the fact that I am not familiar with all the foreign names on the menu.. it would be helpful to have an explanation of what the food actually is under the foreign name. Overall this is a good place to stop by for some cheap food. Their cakes look appetizing too and it's only $2 for a slice! read more

We like to stop by Cake Walk for the dosas, vada (lentil donuts), uppatham (onion and pepper pancakes), and idli (steamed bread). All of them are quite tasty, especially when you get them freshly cooked. The Gobi Manchuria roll, on the other hand, isn't all that good. All orders come with spicy dhal and a coconut chutney that is so delicious that the leftover often gets taken home. Try not to show up right before closing, because you might end up getting stale, lukewarm snacks that have been sitting in the kitchen for a while. Haven't tried the cakes yet, but the cookies aren't anything special. 3.5 stars. read more

Haven't tried much except the dosas, the chaats, and various bakery items, puffs and such. The puffs were good. The dosas always came out limp and the chutney not that great. But I think they've been getting better recently. The chaats are all pretty bad. I don't know how you mess up bhel puri but theirs is all mushy and bland. I wish this place was better, because they are not another Princeton Indian restaurant plus buffet combo. It's actually got some real stuff. But they don't execute it well enough, sadly. read more

Good Indian fast food place and bakery. I love their eggless cakes and wish they made sugar free ones too. Generally the service is fast and consistent. read more

The only reason we go here is for the made to order dosas. We got the chili cheese dosa and ghee roast dosa on this visit. The dosas come out nice and crisp accompanied by two servings of sambar and chutneys. Don't expect much in terms of ambience, service or cleanliness at the table. The place is small so you can expect a draft of air to hit you if you are by the door and we had to wipe down our table ourselves with napkins! read more

Over priced I bet the owner pay peanuts to the workers Or perhaps most of them have no documents read more

Poor quality Went two times and truly disappointed both times. Had pani puri - worst Had pav Bhaji - looks like a sandwich Had chese sandwich - only read with cheese read more

Last night I had a party, the cake was awesome. My theme was little prince and the cake was exact fit to the theme. Thank you read more

They're really 4 stars but I want to bump up their rating to an appropriate 4 stars on yelp so I'm giving 5. I got their paneer tikka panini. So delicious! It's a big sandwich and very tasty. They have rosemary in their panini bread which adds to the flavor. It's just spicy enough to not take away from the taste. It's a popular choice as while I was waiting for it to come out a bunch of other customers came in ordering the same thing. I saw some other customer get a huuuuge dosa. I might try that next time. The prices are fair. Definitely recommend! read more

Beware of this place .. they say they make EGGLESS CAKES and in fact they are not, My daughter is allergic to egg and she ate their cake twice , both the times she ended up with bad egg allergy and we had to take her to Doctor. When i called these people asking what is the ingredients they started being defensive and said they are using eggless cake mix and they dont know the ingredients of the cake mix. I am wondering how can they say its eggless if they really dont know what's the Ingredients of the mix I will definitely stay away from these people read more

Food is okay but service is really bad. After waiting 30 mins during lunch time and still no food, got money back and had a nice slice of pizza next door. Will not be going back. Food is not worth the wait. BTW, doesn't seem like baking cake is their primary business. read more

I think this place is trying to sell itself as a place where you can get Indian sidewalk food as well as some "fusion" type of dishes that they've concocted. Well, I will tell you that you should probably try and steer clear of their fusion and let them cook what they know. We've had a few of their fusion items, such as the chicken tikka panini and the chicken handi sandwich. Meh. They are good ideas, VERY poorly executed. On the other hand, their straight from South India dishes are great! Whether you're looking an entire meal or a quick snack after work, you really can't go wrong. The food is absolutely delicious and served relatively fast. The restaurant itself is kind of not appealing to the eye, but if you can get beyond that, the authentic sidewalk style food they have is absolutely great. read more

Good for the price and to take out. Specials of the day are very good but frequently run out. Masala chai is superb.

Great food, small unpretentious cafe/bakery. Visiting from Chicago for a few weeks and love the food! It was also reasonably healthy/not greasy! read more

The worst customer service ive ever seen. These ppl belive in humiliating their customers. This place should be awarded for their lack in customer service and disrespectful behavior. Their chats are awful because of the masala and the chutney they use. If your going to visit anyway, do yourself a favor and stick to either pastries, puffs, pav bread or dosas. read more

After doing some grocery shopping at the asian market, feeling hungry and curious decided to check out this place. Walking in the smells (if you enjoy middle eastern cuisine) were so inviting. After reviewing the menu and coming across somethung I recognized I ordered the falafel wrap. As I waited, I questioned the guy behind the counter on some of the items people were ordering so I know what to order next tine. He was very friendly and open to describing what they were. My falafel wasn't what I'm used to. Typically falafel are round shape in a Naan wrap but this was more of a spread in a panini which was great and the flavors were really good and the price was a nice bonus. Looking forward to bring the family and ordering a dosa which looked really good......! read more

This is a good place to have a quick meal. The variety is great. Don't get misguided by the name -- this place has much more than cakes. There is a good collection of South Indian dosas, vadas, and the likes. My favorite is the sambar vada, but is unfortunately available only on weekends. The Dosas, Idlys, Uthappams, etc are prepared fresh and are nice, hot, and very edible. Besides the South Indian items, there are sandwich varieties and other street food (prepared safely away from the streets!). The wraps, paninis, etc are quite good as well -- and very filling. In addition, there are all kinds of puffs with all kinds of vegetarian and non-vegetarian fillings (I for myself am a vegetarian and cannot speak for the meaty kind). Other things to try -- those pastries that are single serve. This is not a proper sit-down restaurant even though there is place to sit. The constant crowd movement makes it noisy and cold in winter. I would recommend trying this place out -- there is something for everyone. read more

Decent South Indian food, yet the chaat items are nothing too great. Everything is overpriced for such a mere bakery. What really outrages me is their rude customer service. I for one, would take my business somewhere else. read more

Excellent for a cheap and tasty lunch. I'm not of Indian background, so am still a little confused about a lot of the menu choices, but I've really enjoyed the dosas (like a thin crepe filled with potato curry), and the curry puffs are outstanding. It's very cheap, and the staff are always friendly. Be sure to save room for a cookie or cake for dessert. Makes a refreshing change from the other local Indian restaurants, which are good, but serve the same style of curries you can find anywhere. read more
