    We've been dining with Sonny's for many many years. Aside from his delicious menu, his winning trademark is his friendliness and treating every customer like he's hosting in his own home. The dining area is cozy and super inviting. Sonny ensures everyone is tended to efficiently and is truly happy. Love his dishes and the passion he brings to this establishment. Best service all around.

    Bindi Masala
    Shari A.

    I have been missing out on this local Indian place. What a gem! Arrived on a Sunday night after a movie. No reservation, no problem. Figured it would be super quiet during the Xmas holiday week but there was a nice crowd, very local and clearly several regular patrons. I suspect that on a Friday or Saturday, a Resy is a must as the space is small and it's obvious how busy the place can get. The staff made us newbies feel like we had been going there for a while. Sonny, the owner, was so warm. The menu is expansive and really nicely geared for people like me who can't have gluten. Sonny took our order and helped space out the dishes to give us ample time to enjoy our meal. To start, we had the baygan Bhurtha (baked eggplant) and the Bindi masala with some rice and garlic and chili naan (for hubby) which were all delish. The bindi was really nice texturally. And both dishes were super flavorful without being drenched in butter or ghee. Did I mention how much I loved the okra? We then shared the spicy shrimp vindaloo and the sweet potato with chickpea curry. And yes, the shrimp vindaloo has a lot of heat! I am sure they would moderate it if asked. But it was really tasty. They kindly wrapped our leftovers and we had ample as the portions are really big. No room for dessert but would definitely get the date and fig kulfi ice cream next time. We love Indian food and just adored this tiny spot on the Main Street in Chatham. Look forward to returning soon. I also imagine that it would be a great takeout option. We intend to do that soon.

    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Shane C.

    We gave Sonnys a try for the first time last night, ordering takeout. We have not had Indian food yet in the area and Sonnys had great reviews and we saw it mentioned in a few local groups. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic naan, chicken tandoori, and vegetable korma. While the food was tasty and we enjoyed the flavors, the portions were on the smaller side for the price. Ordering online, the chicken tikka masala is $21 which seems quite expensive for what seemed to be a large chicken breast in sauce. The reason for the 2 stars however is because the chicken tandoori was raw. Raw chicken is a no-go and can't happen. Unsure if we will come back. Mistakes do happen, so perhaps we will give another try sometime in the future, but we may try other options in the area.

    One of my favorite Indian food eateries in the north NJ area!! Can't go wrong with any of the menu choices but I especially loved the assorted samosa platter for the appetizer and rasmalai for the dessert. If you come on a weekend evening without a reservation, be prepared to wait as it gets pretty busy! The ambience is vibrant, especially when there's a full house. The service here is unmatched as the owner personally checks on every table and is super attentive.

    Sonny is such a wonderful and charismatic owner who truly cares about all who come and dine. The food is divine and tastes so fresh too. I love that it's not super oily and portions are enough to finish it then and there. I highly recommend the butter paneer masala and the roasted chili garlic naan. Sonny always checked in to make sure we are satisfied and is so tentative and kind. One of my favorite Indian restaurants ever- coming from someone who's Indian and eats it a LOT.

    Basmati rice
    Mike H.

    Nice Indian restaurant with familiar delicious dishes and a lunch special. We had: - Chicken tikka masala ($16) - Goat curry ($16) - Butter chicken ($15) which came with: - Samosa - Naan - Basmati rice - Gulab jamun The butter chicken was fantastic! Ultra rich, thick sauce and incredibly tender chicken. The chicken tikka masala had a great rich sauce, but the chicken was a bit dry. The goat curry was thinner and less flavorful and exciting, but I enjoyed the novelty of eating goat. Still a good dish. The samosa was very good. It was crisp and fresh on the outside. The naan was puffy and thick, but I wish it was a little crisper rather than chewy. The gulab jamun was perfectly sweet and dense. The rice was fine but could've used more saffron. The host even threw in extra rice to go for free! The portions were small of each, but it was an ample feast given the number of courses. We were the only ones in the restaurant on a Saturday for lunch at 12:30 PM. The host was very friendly and chatty. The restaurant was decorated very nicely for Diwali. An overall great experience, and I'd return

    Roshomalai
    Aparna B.

    Excellent food and service. The ambience is very cozy and the people are very friendly. We ordered Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Railway Goat Curry, Basil Garlic Naan, Roshomalai, and Kulfi. Each time was amazing but Butter Chicken and Basil Garlic Naan were the stars - mind blowing! I highly recommend! One of the warmest welcomes and best services ever.

Parking is always a challenge when heading to any restaurant in downtown, but since it was a weekday, we found a spot easily. The entrance and ambience are fabulous -- with Buddha statues placed at the entry and throughout the restaurant, and beautiful hanging red/lavender tree leaves adding a lot of charm Coming to food, as we were party of 7, we ordered * Kale Pakora * Bhindi Churi Muri: crispy, veryt thin slices of ladyfinger- good 4/5 * Lasooni gobhi *Tandoori Medley: mixed platter. Honestly, not sure why they'd include large chicken pieces here; felt like something borrowed from a buffet platter. The only items I liked were the mutton seekh kebab and prawns. *Gobhi Manchurian: too much sauce - 3/5 * Jhinga Masala: tomato-based gravy with prawns, nothing extraordinary, 3/5 * Bhuna Gost : nope, could not find the gravy... 2.5/5 * Lamb Biryani: average and disappointing, 2.5/5 * Eggplant Bharta * Gobhi Paratha, Tandoori Roti, Garlic Naan, Laccha Paratha * Jaljeera, Lassi, Lime soda To be honest, food was pretty average. Bharta and Bhuna Gosht definitely could've been better. It felt very hit or miss--none of the dishes really stood out Also, Portion was way less then what other restaurant serves! Service was good but again we were the only party there! they added 20 % gratuity by default Overall, I'd rate it 3 to 3.5/5 at best. I'll probably skip it next time unless they bring in something new. Bring some new flavor team, you are not offering anything new!

Flavor bomb burrata was amazing - on top of a naan, tomatoes and green garlic chimichurri with a fresh burrata and what was like a very sweet spicy honey on top - delicious. Sadly they were out of the truffle chicken masala. We opted for the butter chicken - also delicious and rich. Palak paneer - always nice to see the spinach version. Very good. Both were great with the garlic and butter naans... sopped up with the naan or rice, delicious. The 'Rarha' Lamb Chops were ok, overcooked until the bone crumbled so a bit hard to pick up, cutting it was a bit tough, and the mustard-tumeric potatoes were very good but heavy. BYOB. Menu completely online and somewhat hard to see -- bring a big phone. Street or muni lot parking. Servers were pleasant but often busy cleaning up - a bit of dropping things all night - customers knocked over their lights, dishes fell, glasses broke - I felt like it was a Jewish wedding with all the wares falling on the floor mid-way through dinner. Portions are solid and they also gave to-go bags for the leftover naan and boxes for the leftover dishes.

These guys are heavily invested in the monkey theme. I really enjoy Indian food. The wife hates cumin. Hates it. Cumin gets her fumin' as the kids say. Not sure where they're saying it, but some of them are. So I am on my own for lunch. Which is unfortunate. Because lunch would have benefited greatly from several more people, all ordering different things and sharing them. As it is I what to choose one item and make the best of it. I had the chicken tikka, butter naan, and rice. Everything was very good. Portion was good. The takeout menu looks more exciting. I will need to try that. The day I went the restaurant was very hot. Do they not have air conditioning? Was it broken? Nothing was mentioned. Service was perfunctory. I came in at 2. Restaurant closes at 3 to change over for dinner. Honestly they seemed a little annoyed. An hour is plenty of time to eat lunch. Certainly was in my case. They seemed much more intent on changing the restaurant over for dinner than say, refilling my water glass or checking to see how my lunch was. I think I will try the take out which seemed like some really interesting ideas. Do not know if I will be back to eat there. Maybe on a cooler day with friends to try some other dishes. But the monkey decor is first rate. If you love monkeys this is the place for you.

I was here for a particular dish, 'Tripple chicken schezwan rice'. Mumbai/Surat/Ahmedabad folks know what I am talking about.

Tripple rice (its combo of nooldes+rice+manchurian balls in schezwan gravy) was really good, took me back to Mumbai days, but they should have added chicken pieces in their rice as well, not sure why they are not adding it. The chicken was only present in the form of Manchurian balls. coming to Sizzler- that was definitely not worth $30. It's the same fried chicken, sauteed in chicken 65 or schezwan gravy with a small ball of rice. I did not find anything special with this item, so I would skip it for sure next time Apart from that- they have like tons of options on their menu and it is a very popular chain in India. would definitely try again!
