Food: as an appetizer we started with chili paneer, papadum, and vegetable samosas. The chili paneer wasn't super spicy, but was delicious. For dinner the four of us split garlic naan, diwani handi, chicken vindaloo, and paneer makhani which were all out of thls world. I really enjoyed the vindaloo and I will never complain about more paneer. Service: the service was good although our waitress seemed annoyed a bit of the time. Aesthetic: a lot of seated, nice looking place.

Next time, we'll try to dine-in and give an update to this review.

It's easily my favorite because it's not overly fried, and the cauliflower still has texture and flavor. Kudos to the team for getting that balance just right. The chana bhatura was perfect too. The bhatura wasn't dripping with oil, and the dough had that slightly fermented texture that I personally love in a good bhatura. Thank you for such a satisfying meal. Looking forward to visiting again on our next trip to NJ!

Food : we ordered chili paneer and vegetable Samosa as an appetizer which were both delicious and filling, the chili paneer was actually spicier than unexpected which I like.

Aesthetic: unexpectedly small location, but filled with a lot of tables, it's a nice, quiet dining experience.

Instead, thali: a very large naan served with a sampling of 5 dishes (tandoori chicken, chicken tikka, dal, mixed vegetables curry, chicken curry) and rice. Every single one was delicious, including a nice serving of rice pudding (not quite kheer) which was just a bit sweet. I was given a carafe of ice water, too. This was around 2, so the place was very quiet; it's a cozy space with a nice vibe. I was very happy, and I will go back, of course. Highly recommended.

On to the food - I wasn't sure how this worked because it was listed as a convenience store. I called up and they told me what they had available today. I ordered a bunch of items and they did not disappoint. Paneer sauce could win a prize. Spicy curry chicken had a chili infused oil that was spicy but flavorful. Garlic naan and roti were perfect. This was probably the best samosa I've ever had and my only regret is that it was not Samosa chaat. They had homemade ice cream- mango and date and it rounded out the meal. Plenty of leftovers even after my husband and I ate. This place is a GEM! I cannot stress enough how amazing this is. I'm so disappointed I didn't find this place sooner!!!!

There were 6 of us and we split the Efsane Family Special for 4 people and added lamb chops thinking we wouldn't have enough food lol the special also came with dessert but my sister-in-law also ordered a rice pudding. The 6 of us could've easily had the family special for 4 without ordering anything else - there was so much food and we had leftovers to take home!! For context, we all eat a LOT so to say we had leftovers is saying a lot! Quantity aside, the food itself was delicious. The bread is served fresh and steaming hot, the dips are delicious and flavorful, meat is seasoned and cooked perfectly (the chicken shish and lamb adana are my favorites), and the bitter black tea and sweet baklava are a perfect way to end the meal. I left there stuffed and so happy! The staff was also very friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

They did not disappoint! My son ordered baby goat curry & enjoyed every bite! We also ordered Bandar Butter Chicken and Tandoori Pomfret. The butter chicken was better than I expected, I'm not usually a fan, but this was excellent! Flavorful and not overly creamy. My favorite dish of the night was the Tandoori Pomfret, it was divine! Cooked to perfection and a decadent curry base. The staff was incredibly helpful. We worked with the Manager, Pankaj, who went over the entire menu and helped us decide on a safe dish for my son. He then confirmed our choice with the kitchen before placing the order. Pankaj checked on us multiple times to ensure we were enjoying our dinner, the extra care was greatly appreciated. Thank you Four Monkeys for a delicious, safe dining experience! We can't wait to return & we're already planning our visit to your sister restaurant, Dhamaal, in Montclair. Thank you!

I will say that the prices are on the higher side, but the portions are massive and the quality is top-tier, so it feels like a fair trade-off.
