The ongoing pandemic has definitely taken a toll on a lot of businesses and public places since a consumer's mindset to buy anything outside of essentials or to visit a public place like a park or beach, has crippled down significantly. Now by living with what has become the new normal, it is commendable on how these businesses and public places continue to remain open and cater to the general public by following the safety standards. It is now all the more important that we as customers, support these heroes during these dark hours to mankind. We checked the menu and price before we got there and made our orders through phone. The place was a delight to the eyes with so many Indian savories and sweets stacked. The shop is run by a sweet elderly couple and they seemed very courteous. The reason I rate this place a star less is because the samosas' price was little higher than what was given online and when enquired, were told that there is mismatch between what we saw online and they will work on fixing it. Nevertheless, we ordered 4 samosas, a bakora chaat and a pheni. The taste was so good and we will definitely be getting there often in future, to try the other items. read more

We were driving from NYC to DC and forgot to eat while still in NYC ! We randomly found Khalsa sweet house and had some of the best Indian food in the US. I am still dreaming about the aloo kulcha months later. The portions are small (which i loved - so we could try different things). Everything we ordered was delicious, the mushroom matar, chole. We also tried 1/2 lb of the delicious mithai. Loved the food and the hospitality read more

Khalsa is a Punjab restaurant and sweet shop, specializing in a wide variety of fresh mithai and snacks. Everything from the kitchen is made fresh to order, including samosas, a top seller. They offer a lunch special with a variety of sabzi, though my favorite is the saag and makki di roti, always delicious for lunch. Due to the consistent business for over 7 years, especially weekends and holidays, the mithai are much better than neighboring shops. read more

I've never had Indian pastries or masala tea, so I have nothing to compare it to. The masala tea was creamy, sweet and incredibly aromatic. You could really taste all the assorted spices throughout every sip. I believe they sell hot food as well, but I ran in to try the tea and some pastries. read more

Excellent place to grab some punjabi or desi food. They have a wide variety if dishes. I tried the chole bhature and chaa. Piping hot bhature and tasty chole, with raita and onions. Awesome meal. And the chai/tea was amazing. It's masala tea so adrak and masala shooed all the cold away. Also ordered hot samose. I'll eat them for breakfast. I'm glad i stopped by here. They have lots of indian sweets and some pastries too. Black forest and pineapple pastries looked very tempting The restaurant staff might seem a little bit rough around the edges, but they are sweet people and their food is to die for. Hardworking immigrants serving hot food to the community. #heaven #bliss So if you are in the area, do stop by and give them a holler read more

The sole reason we choose this spot over some locations in Iselin was to support the business - people of the same community and we have seen them grow since they opened. The food is ok - the sweets are good and fairly priced. However, after a recent experience I won't go back. The owner was supposed to deliver food to my house for a morning event -- he had the address -- the payment -- and asked my us to call the morning of and let him know what time to deliver the food. The morning of he doesn't answer his phone. We called maybe 10 times before my mother had to drop everything -- WHILE GUESTS ARE WALKING IN -- to go to the store and get them to respond. Once she is there -- she is told food can't be delivered and it needs to be picked up. I would have never ordered from here if they didn't agree for a delivery -- that was so important to me and communicated clearly when I paid for the catering. I am so disappointed in the level of unprofessionalism - and even more because they run the business under such a pure name!! When I called to complaint the owner straight up lied -- claimed that he was never given the address -- and absolutely refused to take any responsibility. It looked so bad -- people were waiting with no food - these people single handily ruined my big day -- I will much rather do business with better established places on Oak tree read more

Their sweets and matthi especially is brilliant. Same taste as you would get in India. We ordered paneer chhole bhature and they were decent. The bhature were a little oily though. Apart from that read more

Known for its samosa, which is popularly a good takeout option as well. They usually are pretty much open if you wanna have food there but the delivery is a bit slow. Many times they don't have vegetables option though they are listed on menu. So you have to be careful if you are going there with the intention to have a full course lunch or dinner.... Methi and Aloo Paratha's are pretty good takeout option as well..... I highly recommend the owners of this place to increase staffing and have all the menu items available. read more

Absolutely delicious cholay pathooray, lassi was on point even the tea was so well made i would def come back for breakfast!!! read more

Sweets & samosas are great but service is poor. They never bring tea & samosas together. It's always one thing at a time which defeats the purpose of going there for occasional treats of tea & hot snacks!! read more

Khalsa is an authentic punjabi restaurant which reminds me of the dhabas back in north India. Need I say more!

I think Kalsa should have something that dedicates every holiday so it's special to other people who celebrate those holidays .some people might think that since you have a business opened you need something special.Because recently I've been coming a lot at you place and there is nothing new I see. read more

I recommend the aaloo gobi and palak paneer. Order your meal with garlic naan and steamed rice. The mango lassi tasted very fresh. It's a great way to cool down a spicy meal. The interior set up is interesting...it's half bakery and half restaurant. read more

Samosas are really good, sweets on the other end are little expensive compare to others, rather go to Guru Nanak sweets for sweets in west carteret. read more

Amazing food--curries included. Best saag paneer I've ever had and incredible sweets--try the nutty cashew bar that looks like a granola bar. I'm not Indian or Sikh but I've eaten a lot of saag paneer in my time and and this place was superb read more

Quick bite to eat before going to Newark airport. Inconspicuous Indian place with vegetarian menu. Got some butter and garlic naan and aloo. Really delicious and freshly made to order. Lots of sweets displayed. Didn't try Anything but they looked interesting. Try it, you'll like it. Glad we took a detour at exit 12. The choices at terminal a are usual airport food. read more

If you guys are not willing to make an order then why did you even accepted it.I will never return to this shop ever again. They ignored my order twice.No work ethics.No customer service. read more

Really delicious - well worth the stop on our way back to NYC. Chana Masala and garlic naan were perfect!!!

The food is awesome, best Punjabi food ever. Fresh, hot and delicious. Their samoosas, aloo parathas, paneer dishes, pooris etc are amazing.

Excellent fresh home made food served with love! I was introduced to this humble heaven during a work trip, and can't think of skipping lunch anymore! Lassi is a must, It's freshly churned! Choke bhature, aloo poori, lunch with chapati- everything is fantastic. And don't forget delicious sweets- love it! read more

Khalsa Sweet House - Lunch with dal makhani, paneer and soft chapatis! - Indian Near Me - Carteret, New Jersey

We stopped in for a quick bite to break up a long day of traveling. We ordered the veggie samoas, garlic naan, yellow lentils, and vegetables with spices. Service was fast and everything was excellent. It was some of the best no-frills Indian food I've ever had, which is exactly what we were looking for. The owners were very kind and welcoming to us even though the resturaunt was soon to close. If we ever find ourselves in the area again we will happily return. read more

Place is clean, food is amazing, owner is friendly and prices are affordable. Point is if you need good quality indian (esp Punjabi) sweets for a good price go to Khalsa sweets! I keep dropping in to try their menu and grab home made pinnis, mathis and gur-based sweets. read more

The samosa is soooooooooo good! I had them at least 3 times a week . I never tried other food in this restaurant except samosa.

Very over priced. Although the sweets are the best I have ever had, I couldn't push my self to give a four start rating because of their service and prices. I placed a order over the phone and I went with my son the other day and there was a elderly lady and a elderly man and both were so rushed. I believe these are the owners. Basically threw my order on the counter and told me my total. No Hi? I felt like they wanted my money only. Now listen to this it gets more interesting. Even though I'm Caucasian I know this much, the sauce the comes samosas is included at every shop. I have ate at so many place in NJ including oak tree road. I have also ate at so many places in NY as well. Not one person has charged me extra for sauce. I'm was confused. Did they charge me extra because I'm Caucasian or because they are greedy. I was relived to find out they are greedy and not because I'm caucasian, because my Indian friend ate there several times and they charged him extra for the sauce as well. Also there is no meat available. I would skip this place. read more

Good food! Especially the parathas. Palak paneer and paneer butter masala are worth a try.

My fave joint for food when I am in the mood for 'home' food.. not spicy for the sake of spicy, no artificial colors - just simple Indian north Indian, rather Punjabi, food at extremely good prices. And they have recently improved the seating options. Highly recommend the chhole bhature and masala chai. read more

Super food prepared with affection. Chats are number one item over here. Love this place

The food is great and reasonably priced. We love their chole bhature. People who work there are really nice too. Highly recommend.

Vegetarian Indian food that was tasty & very cheap. Primarily an Indian Bakery, its just off exit 12 off the NJ Turnpike. Would eat there again anytime. read more

Really good Indian food, I love their dishes, they are very traditional and tasty. Only thing to watch for is the price, I experienced that they charge a dollar more here and there, pay attention to your bill. Other than that, great place to eat. read more

I love eating at this place. The food is always fresh and tasty. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This place has one of the best Punjabi food in town. I highly recommend this place to others. read more

I live in the same town, and often order take out from here. Food is all vegetarian and tastes really good. Love the variety of sweets they have. And all time favorite are the Samosas. My friends love them, and asks me to bring the samosas every time. They claim they never had better tasting samosas anywhere else in NJ. Staff is nice and friendly, I've always engaged a good conversation with the Sikh owner there. read more

I went to this restaurant on a whim after shopping at Shoprite as its located in the same shopping center. After trying a few selections (chana, daal, and roti) i have to say the Food is mediocre. Their selection is big, perhaps that is why everything taste the same. The Mango Lassi was good. Place also sells sweets, didn't get a chance to try it. The samosa was very spicy. Worth checking out if in the area. but you can find better closer by. read more
