    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Anthony S.

    It's Christmas Day, didn't properly grocery shop beforehand, and ended up searching for dinner. Naturally most places were closed but FD was open. The place is not fair from where I live so surprised me that I have not tried it yet. Ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala with is a creamy tomato based dish with chicken and spices. When I picked the food up, the interior to the restaurant was well kept, clean, and had indoor seating. The meal itself was very good. A ton of flavor. It had a little kick to it from the spices but nothing overpowering. It contained chucks of juicy chicken and chopped peppers. I've actually ordered from here again already since the first time on Christmas Day.

    This relatively new place showed up on my search for Indian food one day when I was looking for something to get delivered to my place and I'm glad that I gave this place a try. For starters, the menu is very different and unlike any traditional Indian restaurant. They menu has the traditional Indian entrees and appetizers along with some fusion items such as Naan Tacos, Burritos and Empanada to name a few. For my first ever order from this place I stuck to the traditional known items and I must say I quite liked what I got. I had ordered Tandoori Masala Chicken Wings, Gobi Manchurian, Chilli Chicken and Chicken Tikka Kati Roll. Chilli Chicken was super spicy and would advice people put special comments to make it milder if you can't handle the spice. Gobi Manchurian was good and the wings were decent. The Kati Roll left me wanting more. The stuffing tasted decent but the roll itself was big so everything came popping out after the first bite. Overall, a decent place for a first try. I would definitely try this place again to taste some more off the menu.

    This place was good at first until I had a couple of issues with the food and how they treated me after spending hundreds of dollars there. I just ordered off Uber eats from this establishment. They didn't honor the buy one get on free offer and only gave me one pizza instead of two. I called them to find out what happened and they were disrespectful and hung the phone up on me twice just for asking why I didn't get my buy one get one free offer. The merchant went on saying that I had to buy 2 to get one for free which was a complete lie because it says buy one get one free not buy two get one free. The management in my opinion have no professionalism whats so ever and don't take any accountability for what they do. It's disgusting. They should be ashamed. And they'll only lose business treating customers this way. Now I will tell everyone I know my experience because it's complete nonsense. Especially from someone that lives in the neighborhood. If they are so unhappy and can't figure it out they shouldn't be in business. I hope you get my message and it resonates through your establishment. Maybe next time you won't hang up the phone and treat paying customers with disrespect. Also the yogurt for my biryani was sour and disgusting was spoiled

    Absolutely delicious! I love the fusion of Indian and American style food they offer. The empanada was bursting with paneer and peppers, the pizza was AMAZING! This place is a must try! I'll be ordering again very soon.... and so will all my family and friends because this is my new spot!

    Yes finally found a solid go to in Carteret! Customer service was top tier! Jesse was very nice and helped me decide what I wanted to eat. The food was so fresh and delicious! I got the butter chicken platter and butter chicken tacos. Give this place a try, you won't regret it!

    Famous dhaba is a new Spot located in west carteret. I have tried the following and highly recommend to anyone: butter chicken, chicken quesadillas, and pizza. Very delicious and not too heavy. It beats traveling to Edison! Their ras malai and cupcakes are very fresh and delicious! Yum yum yum!

    Shahi paneer, dal makhani

    Amazing food. Such good and authentic taste. Any dish you order from the menu, it tastes authentic and lip smackingly delicious. Suggest it a 100%z

From what I've heard, it usually gets packed during peak sports seasons--but we happened to hit a lull (post-football, pre-baseball, and no major games on), so we basically had the place to ourselves. That actually worked in our favor--the quieter atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy conversation without the usual sports bar chaos. Drinks were a highlight. I went with the sangria, which was refreshing and well-balanced. Instead of ordering full entrees, we decided to share a bunch of appetizers. Everything that came out looked great, and everyone in the group seemed really happy with the flavors. As someone with a gluten allergy, though, I was pretty limited in what I could order. The ribs ended up being one of my only real options--but thankfully, they were tender, flavorful, and definitely the standout for me. Still, I do wish there were more gluten-free choices, especially since we were there to celebrate and share food. One thing that stood out (in a not-so-great way) was that we felt a bit rushed toward the end of the meal. We didn't even get the chance to order a birthday dessert, which was disappointing given the occasion, but seeing since it was only our group there I'm sure they were ready to close and go home. Service overall was attentive and friendly while we were dining, so no complaints there otherwise. It was winter when we visited, but I can see this being a great spot in warmer months--the outdoor seating looks like it would really add to the experience. Parking was easy on a Sunday night, and they do have a lot, but make sure to read the signs carefully since some spots are reserved for the theater next door. Overall it has a great vibe, solid drinks, and food that people clearly enjoy--I just wish there were more gluten-free options so I didn't leave still a little hungry.

I saw the unassuming NY Fried Chicken and walked in. It's halal and the menu is essentially fried chicken, chicken over rice, and burgers. I went with the three piece chicken only and was impressed. First thing one notices is the great service and the respect. Not an ounce of bad attitude here. This was the standard years ago, but stands out today and deserves attention for how rare it is to experience these days. I ordered just the fried chicken: breast, thigh and drumstick. I asked for crispy and spicy and he said they only have regular. I ate it after about thirty minutes and it was still very crispy, audibly crispy. I don't know if they double fry it, but it seems so. It's crispy outside and juicy inside, even the breast was not dried up. The only quibble was the batter is not seasoned in conformity with your expectations. It's different and still good. The hot sauce they give you is also not what you would want, but your favorite sauce would put this chicken over the top. New York Fried Chicken is fairly priced. The three piece will run you seven bucks and reasonable in these inflationary times. It's a clean restaurant and mainly takeout. A table runs across the front of the restaurant. New York Fried Chicken is great and I would happily return. 3.9 stars!

    DoorDash Pizza Diaries: Strawberry's Pub & Pizza…read more If I deliver it, I gotta try it. That's the rule. So after countless miles, red lights, and "leave at door" ninja drops, I finally grabbed a slice from Strawberry's Pub & Pizza--and yeah, this one earns its spot in the rotation. The vibe? Classic neighborhood pub energy. The kind of place where the TVs are always on, the locals actually know each other, and the pizza isn't trying to reinvent itself with truffle oil or an identity crisis. Just solid, honest pizza doing its job. The slice: thin but not sad, crispy where it counts, foldable without flopping like a bad screenplay. The sauce has that slightly sweet, slightly tangy balance, and the cheese? Just enough to stretch, not enough to slide off and burn your chin. Respect. As a DoorDasher who's eaten pizza in more parking lots than I care to admit, this is exactly the kind of slice you want mid-shift--satisfying, not greasy-bomb heavy, and absolutely worth the pit stop. Bonus points for fast service and a staff that moves like they've done this a thousand times (because they have). Dash Verdict: If you're ordering from Strawberry's--good choice. If you're dashing past Strawberry's--stop and grab a slice. If you're me--you're adding it to the "NJ Mom & Pop Pizza Approved" list. Until the next delivery... stay crispy.
