    DON'T MISS ! click the link below to see our wonderful experience in Thanjai Mess https://youtu.be/nUyg-jCl7po Thanjai Mess exceeded our expectations with its authentic taste, unique dishes, and excellent service. If you're a biryani lover or someone who appreciates traditional South Indian cuisine, this place should be on your list. We can't wait to revisit and try more dishes! The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming ambiance, making it perfect for families. The staff is courteous and attentive, ensuring you have a pleasant dining experience. Their Kalyana Special Chicken Biryani was a highlight - aromatic, flavorful, and served with raita and brinjal gravy. It's hands down the best biryani I've tasted in NJ.

    The food was really bad. The Kothu Parotta was probably made from leftovers and tasted as such. The dosa and appam were equally bad.

It seems like they cook to order, so be prepared to wait for your food to be ready. There is a bench and some tables to wait or eat at. Staff was friendly and cleaned the area I sat at without me asking. The truffle mac & cheese with mushrooms was interesting. It's a creamy Mac and cheese that I would order again if in the mood for. The banana pudding was a tasty dessert. I look forward to being back here, and trying some of other food options they have. With the space being on the smaller side, I'll probably order takeout and come pick up my food when it is scheduled to be ready.

Famous chefs collaborating together offering their restaurant menus under one huge kitchen. I think this is a genius idea since everyone in the family usually can't decide on what to eat. On my first visit I decided to order from Walnut Lane by Jonathan Waxman. I got the JW Chicken with Salsa Verde. The chicken was tasty, juicy and I was impressed by the takeout presentation. I also had a craving for some egg rolls. I got it from the Kin House menu. These were so good, perfectly crispy and the filling was generous. I'm Chinese and I give it two thumbs up. Lol. Limited seating for people who want to dine in. There are many locations right now in the Northeast. I am sure their footprint will expand further west if it does well. The worker I interacted with was super sweet and friendly.

The dough made for the most perfectly soft-but-crunchy texture and the vegetable uttapam was delicious with plentiful vegetables. We had an array of chutneys to dip in that all offered yet more spice and flavor to the already excellent filling. They were kind enough to offer us chocolate dosas for dessert, which was the perfect ending to a generous meal. Bring cash for a tip as there is no option to add a tip to the receipt. The atmosphere is very bare bones -- I think they're primarily takeout -- but it was very clean and with a lot of new fixtures, decor, etc. Whenever a loved one visits, we'll be taking them here.

Half and full portions are available so we ordered one half goat and one full chicken which was more than enough for 5 people. If you're a mutton lover I'd suggest you to try their goat mandi, both the mandis are same just that the meat changes. For chicken they have provided a whole chicken tandoori over the rice which was ok. Decent dine inn with Good service. So, one half goat mandi and one full chicken mandi costed us $154. Felt it was bit expensive, not sure if this's the regular price or just here as this was my first time having mandi here in USA.

This time when I came in to pick up, there was someone there to greet incoming patrons and hand off their order. He was friendly and quickly gave us our bag. I was disappointed when I got home and found that two of my favorite ingredients in my salad were missing. To me, these ingredients made the salad desirable (goat cheese and candied pecans) so it was a real bummer and to make matters worse, the balsamic vinegar I received with it was not enough to cover all the greens and grains, so the salad was very dry until I added balsamic vinegar of my own to it. Luckily, my guests food was all there and made the way they requested. I am keeping my rating the same because I contacted customer service to complain about my expensive lackluster salad and the representative was friendly and actually showed empathy to my frustration. She quickly resolved my issue satisfactorily.

    My favorite meal prep spot ever! I've tried a lot of places, but Kenney's is the one I keep coming…read moreback to. The store itself is bright, clean, and really well maintained, you can tell they care about the space just as much as the food. The prices are clearly listed and honestly so reasonable, especially with everything costing more these days. A full meal is only $9.75, which is impossible to beat. The food always tastes fresh and high quality, and the seasoning is on point. The sauces match the dishes perfectly, so every meal feels intentional and well-balanced. My current obsession is the salmon hibachi with fried rice, broccoli, and spicy mayo, it's so good! Their salmon dishes in general are my absolute favorites. They also have an amazing variety of healthy snacks and drinks. This is literally the only store where I can consistently find my favorite Celsius flavor (dragonfruit!), and they stay stocked with Puff Bar flavors I can't find anywhere else. The employees are always nice, knowledgeable, and helpful, which just adds to the whole experience. I'm hoping they add more shrimp options since I love shrimp, and fingers crossed they open more locations, especially one closer to Center City. Couldn't recommend this place more, especially if you're trying to eat healthy without sacrificing flavor or your budget.

It was delicious so we went back and ordered a bunch of different meals. Really great option if you're looking for ready-made, healthy, protein-rich meals in a pinch. You can either visit the store or order ahead on their website for pickup or delivery. Everything I've tried is amazing, but my favorites are any of the buffalo chicken entrees and the chicken hibachi with fried rice and kale. Their overnight oats are also fantastic.
