I got two meals out of mine. I got the gyro platter and it probably was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. I thought the chicken was seasoned and flavorful. But by far, the best part was the white sauce. I would pair it with the mango lassi and it was such a great explosion of flavors - both savory and sweet. I will say they ask whether you're okay with onions and raisins in your platter. I liked them but I know raisins might not be what most people prefer to add to their rice. Service was fast. You can either order at the front table or at your seat. They got the food in a reasonable amount of time. The place looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there's a back room worth of 30 people worth of seating. It's extremely cozy inside. There's also a parking lot right next to the restaurant and also across the street. The lot right next door is kinda small though, so you might need to loop around. Parking shouldn't be a problem and you can get a really good stop if you're lucky.

The place is spacious despite it being only for takeout, and it has a nice counter. We called our order and it took them 15 minutes to have it ready, which was much appreciated as we were starving! We got the dumplings, basil fried rice, and drunken noodles - it all came out to $32 which is an incredible price for the amount of food we received! The dumplings were okay, not the greatest I've had but not bad. The basil fried rice and drunken noodles were both good, they have a decent amount of chicken and vegetables, and the spice levels were true to what they said! We ordered the rice as spicy (level 1) and the noodles as very spicy (level 2) and they did not disappoint! It is great to know we have a solid Thai place nearby if we want to switch it up from our regular spot.

The Jasmine rice is aromatic and paired well with the dish. Overall, I was super satisfied! One of the best Thai spots in the area.

I ordered the bird in the bun (sandwich), dusty fries and a side of coleslaw. It is not a saucy chicken, but they put sauce on it The sandwich was really good, but the tender was longer than the bun and there was left over bun as per the chicken to bun ratio. Still a heavy tender tho. Served with coleslaw and pickles inside. The dusty fries reminded me of some desi seasoning, like chaat seasoning or pani puri mix. And the coleslaw was basic, a little too mayo-y for my liking but did the job.

Pros. The food was good for what they offered. Had some dishes I never had before along with one or two that I have had. The service was mostly good. The ambiance was nice where it was bright and had a warm feel to the place. Cons. Paying 87 bucks for two people for a lunch buffet is outrageous and for that line fact, I will not be back because I cannot afford that price point. If you want good quality Indian buffet and money isn't an issue, this is your place. If you want good quality Indian food and the price is budget friendly on Sundays ...... go to Cinnamon in Morris Plains, NJ

The ambiance is truly incredible as it's filled with Moroccan furniture, artwork, rugs, pillows and light fixtures. Highly recommend going on a Friday or Saturday around 7-7:30pm.

The only option you can choose it the main which are choices of lamb, chicken or fish for your party. Pictured I posted are the dishes that were included with the prefix. They have hookah for extra charge. I would suggest making reservations as this place does get booked up. Highly recommend! Definitely go with friends or family.

I arrived just before their three o'clock lunch break and was accommodated by their daughter (who was really friendly and kind). I ordered a chicken shawerma Haifa sandwich, and I watched my pita being toasted over a charcoal fire (she used a fan to literally fan the coal fire). I needed to use two hands, and from my first bite I was in nirvana. I asked and was given a fork and extra sauce. Remarkably good falafel, delicious chicken, and oh, that secret sauce. It's right on Speedwell (a busy street) near a funky intersection that gets tied up quickly. Do yourself a favor and park on a side street a block away: you'll whet your appetite on the walk there, and float in bliss on your way back. Superb. Great value. Just a gem. I will most definitely return and highly recommend it.
