    Tofu Tikka Masala and Channa Masala
    George C.

    Food was really good everything just tasted great, it's more of a take out place so not the greatest dine in ambience but ok for a quick bite but it seemed like they were planning renovation so that may change in the future, service was good and our cashier/server was attentive, look forward to coming back

    We came here for the dosas and absolutely loved them!! I will note that the inside is not the fanciest, but more of a hole in the wall vibe. There's one chef in the back, and since we came during a less busy time he did come out to speak with us, which was super nice. The sambar and tomato chutney were absolutely amazing and the dosas were cooked to perfection. Could not have been happier with our selection!

    Tofu Kadai

    This is one of those downtown spots you walk by and don't pay attention to unless you are an out of towner like me trying to get his grub on before a wu-tang/Nas concert. I came here solo on Tuesday evening and it was empty. I got great service and they made the food spicy to my liking. Idly was steamed and made perfectly. The tofu kadai (appreciative for the vegans)- hit the spot- excellent gravy and spices. I tried a taste of the veg biryani (lots of veggies and it just rice) and the mysore masala dosa (my takeout) still fresh today. Will visit you all next time I am in Brick city!!!!

    Unsanitary and rude. They have several operations going on in there and they're obviously stretched too thin. Also beware if you order online without checking if one of their operations are open since they close at will without informing customers or deliverers and not canceling your order.

    Went there with my lovely lady today... We was craving Masala Dosa.. Never been to this place before.. Servers are nice, the meals were prepped very well. Food was delicious! I had Chicken 365 w/ plain Naan, 2 Masala Dosa, idly with the samba sauce.. Awesome! O and Chicken Samosa... Everything I ordered came out fresh and tasty.. Will go back again very soon with more people...

    Paneer butter masala

    Its a decent Indian restaurant with nice North Indian food, slightly pricey and not so bad ambience. Its one of the places I frequent a lot because of the proximity to my work. They serve both North and South Indian food. Their North Indian food is pretty good, however heard pretty negative reviews about the South Indian food. They also have a lunch buffet every day for which you have to pay by weight and is a bit expensive than the a la carte options. I would recommend Malai Kofta, Kadai Paneer and Garlic Naan. The place is pretty vegetarian friendly and has friendly staff.

    I have never eaten such bad sezwan fried rice ever. I think Masala Cafe should just take it out of their menu. I ordered Paneer Chilly as well. Was not great either.

    Good food in an unclean space. There were dead flies on the ground and a cockroach on the counter. If you can get past how unclean the place is, the food is really good.

    I highly recommended this place. Their Goat Biryani and Fish Curry  very Delicious ! Friendly & generous staff .

    The best biryani I can find anywhere near me. It's a little pricey, but definitely worth it.

    She's back she was gone sometime and I was very upset because I cannot find food like this in this…read morearea at all not this delicious.. let me tell y'all I ordered from this lady all last summer. I must've gained about 20 extra pounds. I could not stop ordering from this place. Those lemon honey pepper wings are outstanding. The mac & cheese is real mac & cheese that you're not gonna find anywhere around here, nice and creamy and cheesy deliciousness those yams or not to season to perfection. I absolutely adore this place and I can say honestly she is back like she has never left and I love that about the establishment. The food I have from this place on Sunday was delicious. It felt just like last summer you guys better not walk but run to this place. You will not be disappointed. I promise you.. if you want delicious soul food go to beyond soul. It's definitely beyond your expectations.

    Beyond Soul has returned to Newark. She never disappoints on flavor or portion size…read more Great customer service... she currently on Seventh Ave, Newark by Family Dollar and across the street from the Colonade apartments. Located in the back of another business, it is clean you can order online or in the store. This is a to go only.
