The restaurant is very welcoming in both appearance and style. The staff is very friendly and welcoming also. The menu is very diverse and the food is very good. The portions are very generous. 6 adults shared 5 entrees with leftovers to spare. We all highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This is the second time dining here. Being Indian and a diehard foodie, I am generally skeptical of Indian restaurants I go to, so I check reviews and then try. We noticed this one on our way back from our R-day trip to West Point. We arrived 30 minutes before closing, ordered 2 dishes and naan. Everything turned out great. This was the best choice; the food was served sizzling hot, and the naan was just out of the oven. This picture is from our second visit. We tried the same 2 dishes and lamb chops. All tasted great. This will be a frequent stop on our future trips up and down this road to West Point Military Academy. The ambiance is great; the background music sounded a tad bit loud. read more

My family and I recently held an event here after previously visiting for the buffet. Because of that, 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. read more

Tried food here on multiple occasions and it has not disappointed me. I have come here for a buffet twice (once on a weekend and once on a regular day), and enjoyed it so much that we picked this place to host my sister's intimate wedding party. Service is the best I have seen around this area. All of the staff we have met were friendly, and the same with the store manager. Ambiance is lovely. You can go here for dates, family brunch, lunch with friends, and even book their private room for parties and decorate it the way you want. Buffet price is great for what you get! I believe you normally get to make your own chaats as appetizers and there are 6 additional dishes. Once, there was even a live pani puri station (delicious)! Also the Naan is fresh and comes hot. We had Dhannu(?) as one of our servers, and he was awesome - very kind and friendly. All the servers were nice but we talked to him the most. If you reserve the room for a private party, you get to make it buffet style with 2 veg app, 2 non veg app, 2 veg entrees, 2 non Veg, rice/naan, choice of 2 desserts, and soda. You can add more for additional price. I added pictures of the items we had selected. The guests also enjoyed the food. Only change we would have done would be replacing the Falooda for a diff dessert. The Falooda was lacking the vermicelli noodles. Also, the butter chicken was lacking chicken. Other than that, all else was great. read more

On a random trip to Bridgewater, my daughter and I were looking for a place to eat. After several call outs by her during the car ride from CT, we both were intrigued by an all you can Eat Indian Buffet, and as we had not had Indian in a while, decided to go there. Though it was a last minute decision, we were able to find a seat very close to the buffet section. The place is actually pretty large, with a private room to the left and general seatings n the right. The place was fully packed and there was a wait even to grab a plate. The food choices very really good starting with salads, Samosa Chat, Chili Chicken, Tandori Chicken, and then for the main entrees there were three kinds of rice, including Biryani and then an assortment of meat and vegetarian choices. If I were to call out the highlights, I would pick the Vegetarian Manchurian, Chili Chicken, The Lamb and the Naans. The rest were good too, but these really hit the spot. I would definitely repeat! read more

i tried the buffet today at this new restaurant and it was exceptional. what stood out to me was the variety and how every dish was made well. a few standouts were the tandoori chicken, which had a nice char and smoky taste with strong flavors. i also absolutely loved the samosa chaat, which had a strong spice and a mix in texture between the cream from the yogurt sauce and the crunch of the samosa. there were so many different dishes in the main course; i enjoyed the butter chicken, the chicken biryani, and the dal makhan. i think this is a great deal for $25. the restaurant is also beautiful inside; the decoration is very cute, and everyone was kind and accommodating. i would definitely recommend mauka read more

Wanted to give a shout out Nadirji and Joy and their team at Mauka (Bridgewater) We went for dinner to celebrate two birthdays and a 25th wedding anniversary. The Mauka team took very good care of us by catering to our schedule, allocating ample space to our party of 20+ people, serving up a smorgasbord of Indian delicacies and making our get together smash hit. Mauka is a welcome addition to Bridgewater - great ambience, great location, and just a great feel good atmosphere. Kudos to the team and wish you best. read more

Food is great here! Tonight I tried some basics - chicken tika - top notch, dal - very creamy and flavorful, mango lasi - great and not too, too sweet. The basmati rice is really good too. I wanted to try the basics first to see how it compared to the other local places and I am very impressed. I only stopped in to see what day they would be officially opening (saw the write up in the paper, but asked me what I wanted and made it for me even though they were not officially open. Quite a nice space too - really beautifully decorated, very clean, plus they have lunch buffet - my absolute favorite way to eat lunch in the world ever (reasonably priced as well). And for dinner they have some really great sounding options too. Thai basil vegetable curry sounds interesting, some Indo Chinese and lots of tandoori oven specialities - breads, veg, chicken, lamb etc, along with a lot of the Indian dishes you would expect from northern Indian cuisine of course. They have a sister restaurant in Eatontown with great reviews (automatically worth a try). I think these people know what they are doing. I have high hopes for their success. Honored to be one of the first to try it!!! BYOB. read more

Love the box lunches. Have only gotten takeout but the internal ambiance looks very nice.

Service was good. Ambiance is warm and friendly. As an expert Indian food lover, the food was good. I ordered a red snapper fillet with a delicious sauce. Fish was overcooked but the sauce was wonderful so I didn't mind. My son ordered the crabmeat dish which also had a wonderful unique spice blend. My husband had the lamb saag which was hot & spicy and the lamb was luscious. We generally like the dash with more spinach and the texture finer but it was very tasty. read more

Ambience is nice but food was very bland. Service was okay. They took a long time to get to us but they were very apologetic and nice about it. read more

I went for the buffet and had a great experience! The lunch buffet was $25 per person and there were at least 15 different things to try. I'm vegetarian, and even then I had a lot of options. I really enjoyed the dal makhani with naan. I also really liked the pani puri, it was the right amount of spicy. Service was also good, our plates were cleared out almost immediately after we were done with our food. I would definitely come back! read more

This place is the best indian food i ever had. Service is amazing and a varieties of appetizers.

A welcome new addition to the area. Busy first Sunday lunch service, as they just opened this week. We opted for the buffet and enjoyed everything we tried. Some of our favorites were the Goa shrimp, Panner makhani and Butter chicken. Nothing on the buffet was too spicy, so it's safe for those who prefer a mild spice level. A couple vegetarian options offered in the buffet. Staff was overwhelmed (as expected, since they are newly opened and the restaurant was packed) but very pleasant. If you come here soon, please be patient and understanding - it takes time for a restaurant staff to get into their groove. Decor and ambiance is very nice, a bit more "upscale" than your average mom 'n pop Indian place. Ample parking. Buffet offered every day. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

this india restaurant is very consistent with its food qualify and flavor. I have gone there on many occasions and found the Indian gravy to very authentic and full bang of flavors. the korma and grills paneer and chicken are my favorite. It's somew reasonable in price but overall worth it. read more

Food was amazing, huge portions, great environment. The service was excellent. Highly recommend.

This review is based on communication with the owner Nadir Gillani, not the food or restaurant staff. I was trying to plan a group event at this venue. The owner was rude, condescending, and insulting to me, after he made an error and did not want to honor agreed upon terms. He has very poor communication skills and does not take accountability for his mistakes. If you plan an event with him, make sure to get everything in writing in very clear and plain language. read more

The atmosphere in the restaurant is beautiful! I loved the decor style and the layout was perfectly spaced where you didn't feel too close to other people, but still had a cozy vibe to it. The music was the perfect volume and it was strictly instrumentals, so it did not overpower the conversation at the table. Service was amazing! Our server, Sally, was phenomenal he was very attentive (but not overbearing) and super nice! He gave my mom and I wonderful recommendations and helped us order things he thought we would enjoy. The entire staff was very nice, and the manager/owner was super friendly! The food was absolutely fantastic! We ordered pretty basic dishes this go around as it was our first time trying this place out, but definitely will be venturing out next time because our entrees were delicious! Spice level was customizable, which was nice. Dessert was just as delicious, we were satisfied with every course. Overall, we were super excited to see that this place opened and it did not disappoint! Will definitely become a regular spot for us, especially since they have a lunch buffet! read more

We were a group of 8 foodies with high expectations..and after a chat with us..Nadir Ji just took over...The tandoori dishes just kept coming.. fresh and hot.. till we had worked through the entire tandoori menu and wrapped up with some mix of nan /parathas and dal makhani. We loved it. Each dish was on point and the service was excellent. A month later I went back with my better half to celebrate our 35th anniversary and we were not disappointed. read more

New, pleasant atmosphere in a clean setting with a very good meal on a Monday night. Excellent service.

The food was very different from the typical Indian restaurant. The biryani was presented with a naan on top of the dish. When we asked why we were told it keeps the meat moist while it's in the tandoori oven. There were lots of things that I had never seen before. For example the tandoori pomfret which was beautiful and moist. read more

Good food and quick service. Ordered through uber eats app. Recommend more options for exec meal delivery

I've had better Indian food, service was great, but the food was marginal. I doubt I will try it again.

We decided to try out the newest place to pop up in that spot that never seems to keep a restaurant for long--but honestly, after our visit, I'm really hoping this one makes it. The Butter Chicken was seriously one of the best I've ever had, and the veggie samosas were spot on--crispy on the outside and just the right amount of spicy inside. I'm a sucker for garlic naan, and theirs did not disappoint. Plus, the staff was super friendly, which made the whole experience even better. To top it all off, the prices were really reasonable--maybe even better than some of the smaller and mostly takeout-only Indian spots around here. read more

We had such a lovely dinner at Mauka Indian Cuisine in Bridgewater! The staff was genuinely warm and welcoming -- friendly and attentive without hovering. Our server timed everything just right and cleared plates promptly, which we really appreciated. The space itself is bright and inviting. There's plenty of room between tables (you're not packed in!), and the natural lighting made the whole experience feel even more enjoyable -- especially since we got to eat while watching the sunset. The booth seating was also surprisingly comfy -- supportive and perfectly spaced from the table. Now to the food -- everything was excellent! We started with the Fish Amritsari (crispy and not overcooked) and the Palak Aam Patta Chaat -- the spinach was perfectly crunchy and flavorful. For mains, we had the Lamb Saagwala and Fish Moiley. The lamb was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the fish was beautifully cooked. Pair that with fresh, hot naan, and we were in heaven. This place is a gem -- thoughtful service, relaxing atmosphere, and absolutely delicious food. Can't wait to come back! read more

We came for the buffet at lunch time on Sunday. There was not much to choose from, but what we had was okay. The rice was a bit dry. My major issue was that when the bill came, they had already included a tip. FOR A BUFFET!!!! It was calculated at 20 percent if the check. There was only four of us. I thought that a tip was determined by the guest, not the restaurant. The tip situation is getting out of control. I would have tipped something for the delivery of water and the clearing of our plates. BUT, NOT 20 Percent. Will not go back here. read more

Food was tasty and authentic, but the service was extremely poor. The server was rude and insisted we order everything at once. We were given an incorrect bill twice--charged over $400 for a party of two with items we never ordered. On top of that, a hefty gratuity was automatically added. While the food is good, the experience was frustrating. Double-check your bill and gratuity before paying. read more

We loved it. The food was great. Everything was so flavorful. We were so full by the end. Service was great too. Our waiter was very attentive and genuinely cared about us and our experience. read more

Ambiance is so-so. Food is not to Indian standard. They need to work on it. Just adding masala doesn't make it an indian flavor dish. Waiters are still in training. I asked for water towards the end of my dinner. The waiter picked up the jug of water from other table from where the customer had completed their dinner and left and then gave that jub to me. Horrible. I had to ask him for a jug with freqshly filled chilled water. read more

Food was good but customer experience sadly was terrible. I don't usually write reviews and understand busy restaurants are high pressure environments but just wanted to let folks know. We reserved a table and were there on time but had to wait 30 mins to get seated. We had to order many things twice as they were just forgotten like drinks and some of the dishes. The wait for anyone to take our order once seated was about 20 minutes. I can't see how this level of service is sustainable for this business. It's a real shame. Probably won't be going back despite the good food. read more

I eat out often, and this spot has become my favorite. The staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming.
