    Vegetable Jalfrezi
    Ritesh M.

    We were first timers recently but certainly not last timers. Heads up, there is parking in the back and even an entrance in the back. The door in the back is just a solid white door with no glass or any way to see in but trust me it takes you into the restaurant For apps we had the pakora basket. It came with a samosa and beetroot tikki as well. The samosa was great and the beetroot tikki had promise but was a little free with the fennel seeds. The spinach pakora - please just offer me this by the basketful! The rest of the pakora (caulflower, onion and potato) were good but after a few we had our share of besan. Also to start was the lasooni gobhi 65. Our son is selectively spice-averse so we asked for the sauce on the side. The cauliflower was fried in what seemed like a thinner besan (chickpea) batter and was red. While it was piping hot, I did not find it too crispy and the sauce in the bowl on the side lacked that garlic oomph. No worries at least the kid loved it. The Paneer Tikka was next. This is where the flavor resides! One of the best paneer tikkas we have had. Edges slightly crisp and flavor still intact with a soft paneer. No cheating with the torch like some restaurants do. Star of the night. Vegetable Jalfrezi - Packed with fresh veggies, savory flavor and not cut with potatoes. This is was blanketed with the tandoori roti we ordered. We will be back, and next time I am heading straight to the same mains we ordered. The food comes out hot and fast, so be ready!

    We ordered to go since we were hosting love island but this was our first time ordering here since we just moved near by and let me tell you! The portions look small but they're more than filling for 4 and it was just fantastic all around I can't wait to order again also thank you for being friendly to order from.

    Got takeout, but the place looked nice inside. Order was ready on time. Food was decent, well executed north Indian fare, but nothing was mind blowing.

    BH restaurant week Chicken Tikka Masala (Neelam Special)

    Let me start of with the end: they brought the credit card processor to the table - for us to take care of the bill. Our credit card never left the table. So amazing, so worldly, so safe. This is how checks should be paid. Thank you for having this system. Since under new ownership, the place is now charming, clean, the food is delicious, and the owner is so nice and accommodating. We visited during Berkeley Heights Restaurant Week, and our specials were phenomenal. It was a trial platter of two veg and one meat sauce, naan, rice, chicken masala, and dessert. If you're two smaller eaters, you could even split one tray. We'll be back soon.

    Delicious food, cooked and spiced just right! We had chicken tikka masala, goat biryani, naan, rice, and a mango lassi.

    I love this place and have been thinking about it ever since I went. Delicious food and good service. My only complaint is that it's Sunday and it doesn't open until 4 pm.

    Aloo Gobi Masala
    Mike H.

    The butter chicken ($17) was rich and delicious with tender boneless chicken. The naan was good and a bit thin rather than puffy. The chicken tikka ($18) was very marinated and more of a dry rub but good. There were 7 pieces on a bed of grilled vegetables, so it was good value. The aloo gobi ($14) was yummy and on the sweeter side. It had more potato than cauliflower. The service was really slow because there was only 1 person waiting on the entire restaurant. They really need to hire a second waiter. The food is very good, although not quite as good as originally. Excellent food and poor service, so I'd return for the lunch buffet when we can serve ourselves.

    Food was pretty good. Garlic naan was tasty so was the roti. Got the butter chicken and paneer masala. The portions were very skimpy and for the price we won't be back sadly.

    Meat (lamb) Samosa with Tamarind Sauce
    Eric E.

    A simple twist of fate led us to the front door of Neelam Indian Cuisine in Berkeley Hts. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Kunal Sharma, who is the nephew of the Original owners of Neelam. His uncle sold the place to the previous owners untill Kunal left corporate America to buy back Neelam to continue the legacy that his uncle started in 1984. Upon entering you are greeted with the intoxicating aroma of exotic spices as well as a heartfelt Hello from Kunal and his staff, some of whom, I assume, are family. We dove into the menu and ordered our goto dishes which were: Meat (lamb) Samosas - delightfully flaky and filled with ground lamb, peas and warm spices served with a tamarind dipping sauce. Chicken Tikka Masala - despite it's Scottish origin by an Indian Chef, Chicken Tikka Masala has become the General Tso's Chicken of Indian Cuisine. It's on every Indian menu in the US because its delicious and embodies everything you expect from Indian cuisine. Neelam's rendition is excellent and notably savory without the inappropriate sweetness I've experienced from other Indian restaurants. Lamb Vindaloo - my personal favorite! Tender pieces of lamb in a fiery tomato based gravy with Potatoes. This was as good a Vindaloo as I've ever had, again, due in part to the lack of sweetness that I find unappealing from other places. We also had 2 different Naan, served piping hot from the tandoor oven - one plain and one Garlic Chili. A wonderful vessel to scoop up the delicious gravies of the chicken and lamb. Neelam Indian Cuisine is located at: 295 Springfield Ave Berkeley Hts, Nj 07922 908-665-2215

    The restaurant is very well decorated and clean. As soon as I came in, Tony was very friendly and took my order immediately . I ordered chicken Tikka masala, the food was DELICIOUS!!!! The portions were more than enough and price was very reasonable. I am very surprised why this restaurant only have 3.8 stars. This was a great experience. If you are in the area you should give it a try.

    I've loved this restaurant for years however the food has gone downhill. The dishes are not as flavorful as they once were.
