We ordered **Chicken Biryani, Malai Kabab, Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Chicken Sukka** for a group of three. Overall, the food **did not meet your expectations**, especially compared to other Edison biryani spots. You'd rate it **4.5/10** and wouldn't return. ### 1. **Malai Kabab** -- *Major disappointment* - Texture was **fibrous**, almost like overcooked white meat. - Required **too much chewing**, not tender at all. **would not recommend** it. ### 2. **Chicken Biryani** -- *Not authentic* - Lacked the **Hyderabadi dum biryani flavor profile - No "wow factor," spices not balanced, aroma not right. - Felt like it was made for a **more Americanized palate**. Too much Lemony taste. ### 3. **Chicken Sukka** -- *Moderate* - Not bad, but not memorable. - We had **much better versions** in other Edison restaurants. ### 4. **Chicken Tikka Masala & Naan** - Not highlighted as terrible, but didn't stand out either. - Overall meal didn't justify the visit. --- ## Overall rating **4/10** Not worth revisiting, especially for someone who knows authentic Hyderabadi biryani flavors. This restaurant simply didn't deliver the depth of flavor, aroma, or meat quality you expect. We use to eat Allentown pa branch , this place is no way comparable to it.

The moment I walked in, the aromas hit first, followed swiftly by the sight of dishes making their way across the room. My resolve didn't stand a chance. I was eating. End of story. The menu spans both South and North Indian cuisine, and refreshingly - deliver exceptionally well. Everything we tried was well-crafted, but the palak paneer deserves a special mention. I have a personal rule about not ordering palak paneer outside of home, it rarely lives up. This one broke the rule entirely. It was simply superb. Then came the seasonal dessert. I wish I could tell you the name, but I was clearly too busy enjoying it to commit that detail to memory (lesson learned - notes app next time!). What I can tell you is that it arrived beautifully chilled, with just the right touch of sweetness. Absolutely worth whatever it was called [was a sort of pistachio something rice pudding] Having a South Indian restaurant this good just a two-minute drive away feels like a genuine privilege.

County chicken curry - too oily but tasted good . The truth is , the oil contributes to better taste . Litti chokha- was the best of the lot . Little had good blend of spices that enhanced the flavor while the Choka had bold flavors served room temperature Complimentary Jeera rice was a perfect accompaniment to mix the Curries and the Onion side salad combination enhanced the meal . The restaurant is a small place in as strip mall but has a good ambiance. Except the forgotten Tandoori Roti that we paid for and they acknowledged , but asked us to drive back 30 minutes to pick up , the food was good & satisfying.

My family and I recently held an event here after previously visiting for the buffet. Because of…read morethat, I have a lot to say both good and bad. Starting with the event food: it felt noticeably cheaper and lower quality, which was very disappointing. Prior to the event, we had all genuinely enjoyed the buffet food, so expectations were high. Unfortunately, the naan tasted frozen, like something from a bulk pack at Costco. It was thin, poorly made, and as someone who truly loves naan, I couldn't even finish a single piece. The meat and chicken dishes also did not taste nearly as good as they do during the buffet. The flavors were okay, but as someone familiar with South Asian cuisine, it was very underwhelming. Since this is the only Indian restaurant option in the area, that made the disappointment even greater. The staff overall was very kind and polite. The staff is truly amazing, very aware and ready to help which is wonderful!! They did an amazing job, 5/5 for the staff, no complaints there. However, my experience with the manager was not positive. He provided inconsistent and constantly changing information regarding the minimum number of people required to reserve the private room. For me, he told my partner and I that 45 people were required minimum. But later told my sister that it was 40 then 35 or 30 and it just kept changing. One change is not okay, maybe a mistake. But this? Not a mistake, definitely intentional. And if you don't know the correct answer, the right thing to do is find out before relaying any information. I found the inconsistency among the required number of guests and information extremely unprofessional, and it came across as money-driven, which was a major turn-off--especially when paired with the noticeably lower-quality food being served for a special event - aka a Wedding. Now, outside of the event, the buffet itself was excellent. The naan was fluffy and warm, and the chicken and meat dishes were flavorful and well prepared. Based on the buffet alone, I would have given this restaurant a 5 out of 5. The buffet is one I would recommend. However, due to how the event was handled, the inconsistencies, and the poor quality of food provided for what was supposed to be a wedding event, I have to rate this experience a 3 out of 5. Providing customers with inaccurate and inconsistent information, especially from a manager, is not professional and is simply not okay. ESPECIALLY because it was a private party as well in which they are making more money and taking images to promote the area.

We were shown a table to sit and before we could sit, the lady told us that anything we order would need at least 20-25 minutes, since they cook everything from scratch. We said OK- looked at the menu and asked if appetizer like Bhel (which is basically a mixture and does not need any cooking at all), would also need 20 minutes. She said yes, it would take at least 20 minutes and if we cannot wait for 20 minutes, then this is not the place for us. We left the place and she did not even say a word. Service was non-existent, Ambiance is not something to even opine on, since it is a very small room.

We all just ordered and paid at the counter, so we didn't have to worry about splitting the checks. Since I'm vegan, it was a little more difficult to accommodate because the tacos I would have liked that were less spicy had cheese on them. The chef accommodated me by adding more beans and rice in the taco, and it turned out really good. I also tried the Black Magic tacos. These were a little spicy for me, but I could really taste the deep flavor. They were just too spicy for me to finish, so I gave them to my friends. My friends who love spice tried the Black Magic tacos and they loved them. In fact, they were their favorite thing on the menu. And they're not even vegan. I like how it's a casual environment where you pick the table you want to sit at. You can combine tables if you need to, grab your forks and knives, get your drinks from the refrigerator, and then order at the counter. This is a good spot for groups because the tables can easily be put together and you can pay at the counter. It's a great place for people who love spice. If you don't like spice, there are a couple things on the menu that aren't spicy and are still delicious, so everyone can be accommodated, whether you love spice, don't love spice, are vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, or love to eat meat. The restaurant also provides hot sauce if you want your food even spicier, and my friends told me the hot sauce is really, really good. I also love that it was easy to make things vegan here since everything is already vegetarian. We all enjoyed it so much, and we'd like to go back soon.

We had provided a pre selected menu beforehand so that we wouldn't have to worry about taking orders for the group (~15 of us). The restaurant was a great spot to host my dad's birthday- they didn't rush us at all and created an environment in which everyone was able to talk to each other easily. The food itself- - paneer tikka: delicious! A favorite, although there was fewer paneer pieces and more onion pieces. It was very yummy but I wish it was more balanced. Even a better balance between the onion, pepper, and broccoli would have been better. -samosa chat: great! No notes on this one. Was very yummy. - sag paneer: wasn't my favorite, there wasn't anything wrong with it, I just liked other dishes more - dum aloo: this was great! Very tasty. However, we had to keep asking the staff to bring more out instead of them keeping an eye on what dishes needed refilling. Given that we had provided a headcount beforehand of how many people were coming, it was frustrating that not everyone got to try this dish. There was lots of gravy, but not enough aloo. - Methi malai matar: was very tasty! Overall the food was very good and I'd recommend trying as many dishes of theirs as possible. The service itself was frustrating since we had to keep an eye on what needed refilling and inform the staff, instead of them bringing more food out (we were the only group in the restaurant). But that being said, other restaurants are not nearly as accommodating as masala Art. We had initially asked Chand Palace if they would be able to accommodate us and they had told us that we would only get the table for a set amount of time and we weren't allowed to bring decorations or anything like that. We will be back for sure!

Let's start with the food. Done with perfection and pride. The owner personally attends and recommends items, if you do need help. They are into good food and service, with passion. Pakoras we're done to perfection - fresh, crispy, and super savory. Their Naan and Tandori breads were, once again, spot-on (with the right amount of char and crispness). Highly recommend the Kadai Paneer. That smoky flavor- O M G! In fact, even the yellow lentils had the smoky flavor and reminded me of authentic lentils made way back home, in India. Our choices were all vegetarians and I feel we couldn't have gone wrong with other vegetarian choices either. Service with smile. The owner took personal interest in ensuring we had a good time. They accommodated so many of our customization requests that it's unfair to even mention them here because other guests may feel let down if they dine when the place is super busy. Glad we found them and hope this will be our goto place to get that authentic way-back-home yummy flavor! We hope to visit them again, soon!

This is a tight, intimate location with seating for maybe 20 people tops, and that seems generous, but they do pretty fast takeout so I'll usually get it to go. Usually I've got my food within 20 minutes of ordering, but if it's busy you're better calling it in. The food is delicious, and whoa is it spicy, so do not be shy about asking them for the American spicy not Indian spicy or you're going to suffer, but it isn't spicy without flavor to back it up. By that I mean while you'll be crying actual tears from the spice, you'll also taste an incredible palette of flavors and non-atomic spices that are masterfully blended into all the usual classic dishes, and some unique ideas as well. Good mango lassi on the menu, and it is CLEARLY there to mitigate some of this spice, so be sure you get yourself one. The Saag Paneer is a perfect 10 in my book. The tandoori is to die for, the naan is great, it's all great, give this place a chance!

The Mango Tree is a recently opened Indian restaurant that's popped up in Belle Mead in a new strip…read moremall in the Route 206 corridor between Hillsborough and Princeton/Montgomery. The largely positive reviews and wanting to try out a new restaurant led to this being the choice of dinner spot for meeting up with a friend. While nothing fancy, the interiors are bright and modern with plenty of seating. It can get pretty loud between the high ceilings resonating customer voices and music playing from a speaker with an uncomfortably high bass level. Their website menu online seems to offer additional items that didn't make it into their print in-restaurant menu, so be sure to ask about availability if you notice any discrepancy in items you want to order. We got mango lassis (3/5) to drink, which we saw were poured out of a huge jug (probably made earlier in the day). It was pretty average in taste and we felt it didn't use any fresh mangos in the preparation. To start off, we got the chicken 65 and onion pakoras as appetizers. The chicken 65 (2.5/5) was on the bland side and some pieces of chicken were kind of game-y, so we felt it wasn't good. The onion pakoras (4.5/5) were a unique and more stringy preparation of onions with flavorful chickpea batter, but the best part was that they drained the oil well after frying, so didn't have an oily texture to them. For the main course, we went with the butter chicken masala and a naan. The butter chicken masala (3/5) was pretty average with a thicker and more ginger-based gravy preparation (their online menu pictures a lighter colored and more tomato-based gravy which is what we would have preferred). The naan (3.5/5) was an ample portion and was tasty. While nothing was particularly bad, we felt all the food was pretty average and forgettable for Indian food in central New Jersey, and the ratings you find online for the business seem vastly inflated and not reflective of the quality of the food. The service (2.5/5) was not good as they use a de-centralized service model without a dedicated waiter checking in on you. While the employees were generally friendly and a team member did check in with us once during the meal, nobody paid attention come time to pay the check, and it took several minutes to get the attention of a staff member to get the bill and boxes for leftovers. Given the average food, inattentive service, and tacky/loud bass music playing, we probably won't be back to Mango Tree or be recommending them to others given other better options for Indian food in the area.
