You'll never find us pulling into a fast food place. We love Indian cuisine (check) and vegetarian is quite fine with us (check); but if you like Indian food, this is the place to try vegetarian. The food was exquisite to the eye, nose and taste buds. The meat was not missed whatsoever because the taste was there. We could have been in India, as far as we were concerned. I hope this review drives you to this special spot.

I ordered from Asian Halal…read morethree family dinners---two non-veg and one veg---online a couple of days before the gathering. I picked the food up. It was easy to park next to the store. The food was ready at the time promised. They were nice to load the food in my car. It was a lot of food and quite a few items for three families. Even after eating a lot, everyone took some food home. Almost all the dishes were very tasty. Especially, the appetizers and the goat meat were awesome. Best of all, the food, including the vegetarian dishes, was very reasonably priced. Only a few days earlier, we ate at an Indian restaurant and it was about equal quality food at double the cost. So, overall, we were very happy with the food at Asian Halal Meat. I am planning to order food from there many more times in future.

There are 2 very good South Asian restaurants in Monroe Township/Jamesburg. Both have excellent…read morefood and locations. This one has an edge with its Palak Chat which is outstanding and it used to be goat curry but no longer as Thumkaa has a great goat curry. And of course a full Bar. So when we want Palak Chat only we visit. Thumkaa however has better service. Their employees have a superb benefit living package and stay longer. Mrs. Kumar used to have great service but many of its staff have left. So you have 3-4 I assume management standing around and even with a bar when you order anything it takes 5+ minutes and re-ordering to be served. Thumkaa management makes a point to come around, especially Sunil. We have met Mrs. Kumar a few times but there is no recognition to guests that come frequently as with Sunil at Thumkaa. Chefs are both good but Ifran at Thumkaa visits with folks. The kheer which was great has changed into something terrible. No rice . No live music and buffet (fine dining). A in food and B in service. B+ atmosphere.

We decided to come here for dinner after work one day. We were immediately seated after checking…read morein. We ordered the following: Aloo Saag- this didn't disappoint. We thought that this was very flavorful. Mrs. Kumar's assorted bread basket- this was delicious. Hubs loved the variety. Chicken 65 Biryani (boneless)- I loved the egg that came with it. It's definitely one of the better one that we've had. The biryani didn't taste like it was premade. Everything was melded together really nice. Goan fish curry- we ordered this medium. We were expecting the to be a little bit spicier. The medium sauce was just right and delicious. Fish pakora- this was pretty good as well, but our least favorite. It looked more like fish nuggets. There's a fee of 2.99% if you used credit card. We wished the menu was more descriptive. We had to google it. The place is very allergy friendly. Our server wrote on our order to not put peanuts in anything. Service was friendly and quick. Will return when in the area to try other items on the menu!

I'm finishing up with my favorite dessert, carrot halwa, and a nice masala chai. I've eaten at many south Asian restaurants, but this one is a top 3 level for me.

We discovered Mrs Kumar before it expanded and love the food. We visited Thumkaa which had its own vibes and while driving along 33E we kept passing Chozhas and decided we would visit on Valentine's day for Dinner. Clearly this restaurant does a booming business with its buffet and no difference on Valentines where an a la Carte menu was offered but there was such a crowd earlier that food and staff were exhausted. Fortunately we had Deepthi who despite being on her feet for hours made sure we were aware that the palak chat which was supposed to be out came back on the menu . Also giving us great advice on the quantity of food to order. She was excellent. Now to the food which was "good"...but not anything special. The appetizes Palak Chat and Lasuni Jhinga Shrimp were better than the main course of dal fry, goat rogan ghosh (nice having bones but not much meat). Rice came with garlic naan and the rice keer was served too hot as they ran out for lunch and had to make fresh. Now the decorations were really nicely laid out for Valentines and made it feel special. As we were leaving it was crowded. Clearly this place has a following and we were told the weekend buffet is what everyone comes for. We will try the buffet one weekend to see how the food is and hope that it really is exceptional and better than the a la carte. Again staff were great given how hard they were working and kudos to Deepthi.

We tried the Fish Moilee, Kochi Special Chicken Curry, Malabar Paratha, Appam, Vellayappam, and Ada Payasam--everything was outstanding. It was especially kind of the chef to personally visit our table and check on how the food was, which made the experience even more special. We will definitely be visiting again, as many other dishes on the menu looked amazing and tempting.

Located off Nottingham Way in Hamilton, Bombay Feast is a a fast casual type of Indian street food…read moreeatery. I've been there twice and can't in good conscience call it a restaurant as service (1.5/5) is the bare minimum, where you have to get up to get your own water, and aren't once asked if you want beverages or desserts. Nobody checks in on you to ask how the food is or if you want anything else, yet they still mandate a 12% service charge after some mystery 3% fee they impose on everything on the menu except their parathas (prior to calculating the tax and service fee). A scrupulous business adds any fees on the subtotal of the menu price, but here you wind up paying extra tax and service charge on the additional 3% which is tacked onto the menu price, which I assume is a credit card fee. Doing the math, they're collecting an extra 3% in both tax and service charge as well, so customer beware. You aren't given a check at the end of your meal, so you have to walk up to the front podium to pay on a tablet (not a fan of this practice), where you're given a few awkward seconds to stare at your bill, and unsuspecting customers won't have time to analyze the charges, and will likely wind up paying both the service charge and additional gratuity for the very minimal service provided. We've ordered various parathas (3.5/5), the chole bhature (4/5), butter chicken (2.5/5), pav bhaji dosa (3.5/5), and naan (3/5) over 2 visits. The parathas and pav bhaji dosa were excellent on one visit, but unreasonably spicy on the next visit, so they need to work on consistency of their spice levels. The chole bhature was good, and served with a massively sized bhature, which was greatly appreciated and more than enough for the chole provided. I would stay away from the usual North Indian food menu items as they're overpriced (above $20) and not that good compared to other Hamilton area Indian restaurants. The gravy for the butter chicken was underwhelming average, and not something I'd order again. Their wheelhouse for tasty food seems to be the parathas, dosas, and snack food/quick eats types of items. While the cook in the kitchen is decent, the lack of service and mystery charges really detracts from the overall experience, so I won't be back and would not recommend Bombay Feast to others. They really need to hire an additional person with customer service skills to attend to guests to ask if they want water/drinks, desserts, additional food items, and check in to ask how everything was. We had to proactively wipe down our dirty table, ask for additional utensils, and get our own water. On my 2nd visit, they took it upon themselves to add an additional gratuity on top of the service charge, which really rubbed us the wrong way as we analyzed their payment screen on their tablet and asked for a printed receipt; we noticed it a few days later when checking the credit card charge. They seemed genuinely apologetic about it and refunded us the extra amount via Venmo when we called them up to question it, but that really left a bad impression on us. I'd add this to my growing list of highly overrated Indian eateries popping up in NJ with a somewhat decent kitchen, but major disregard for proper customer service.

Recently I noticed a photo and review mentioning meat dishes, when I looked at the website they indeed have a small section devoted to carnivores, this brought them to the forefront of my list. After work on a Friday I grabbed a takeout here. Zarani Murgh(chicken!) aloo paratha and veg samosas. The order was nicely packed so I dare not disturb it until I was home. The paratha came in a med sized pizza box, the bread part was perfect and the filling very tasty and more than is usually included when I order this elsewhere. This was the best I've encountered in this area and will reorder next visit. The veg Samosa was good too, similar potato filling as the bread but with a few veggies. The chicken dish seemed to be tandoori but had been liberally covered in yellow curry. There was not much of a sauce and no rice was included. I used the paratha to scoop up pieces of the boneless and juicy white meat that had been bathed in the curry. There were also cooked onions that went nicely. The raita was tangy and thick. This was a very generous portion too. I didn't get a great look at the interior but it seems to have been updated from the last failed restaurant. Customer service was quick and friendly. I think it was wise of them to include a few non veg dishes. I'm planning to eat in next time but will also resort to takeout. There are several items I'd like to try, including a curry that features trout. I'm at 4.25 stars, with potential to go up.....
