    I wanted my usual Indian but didn't feel like driving out of the way. So there's apparently this…read morenew place right on my drive home. Good reviews, let's go in. I went in, and the entire place is marked Self Service. You order at the kiosk and you pick up at the counter, whether dining in or taking out. Okay, fine. This was my first time. Staff is very friendly but difficult to understand, so I took my time translating foods. Settled on Manchurian paneer for the appetizer and a dry chicken (pachi mirchi kodi) biryani for my main course. Nice and spicy. I considered eating in vs. taking out; it's a modern bare place and there are several tables although nothing fancy (hard plastic and wood benches), but the main factor is that the drinks are overpriced. Maybe bring your own? Problem with the kiosk is that I can't just ask for water, nowhere to type in requests - though I do not recommend Parsippany water. Maybe the lassi is worth it but the cups weren't that large for $4 plus. One man's opinion. With that said, now that I've mentioned the kiosk, if you want or need to customize your order (allergies, add-ons, etc.), I do believe you can walk up and order in person as well. Spicy food home after multiple warnings. Verdict? Paneer: Less spicy and less crispy than I expected. Dipping sauces included, but at least one seemed like it was meant for the biryani. The white yogurt sauce I held onto. At least a solid portion size 3.75/5. Biryani: Meat buried under the rice. Good quantity, unique flavor for a "dry meat" dish that I had to look up. Spice maybe a touch hotter on this one. 5/5. Sauces: The brown sauce is thick and not spicy. Made it my dessert. White helped with the heat. Neither sauce was on the menu but they were thrown in with my order, which was nice. Verdict: Fun, convenient, and I'll keep it in mind to try some different things here as I pass every afternoon - but it's not dethroning my favorite.

    Goat Pepper Fry - if you're a spicy-food lover, this is the dish you must order here…read more Due to family commitments, I couldn't visit this place when it first opened in my city--but better late than never, right? We went on a cold Sunday night, and to my surprise, the place looked completely deserted. It immediately felt more like a takeaway spot than a proper dine-in restaurant. The paper plates, plastic cutlery, and overall setup confirmed it. And yes--my guess was right. Their business model is clearly focused on takeaway / online orders / to-go, with very little emphasis on dine-in even though they have 6-7 tables that could seat around 28 people. It's just not their priority, it seems. Anyway, I ordered at the counter: Goat Pepper Fry I honestly can't recall having a better version anywhere. Rajni's version comes close, but this one wins in consistency and flavor. Absolutely worth it. Pachi Mirchi Kodi Biryani- Let's not call it biryani--because it's not. But as a dish? Fantastic. It's more like chicken gravy mixed with rice, and it tastes really good. but its miles away from being called BIRYANI. I'm a big mutton/lamb/goat and biryani lover. Most people hesitate to try goat at restaurants due to the smell, but I always give it a shot--knowing I'll be disappointed 70% of the time. This time, it paid off. Overall, I'd give them a 4/5, but: * I'm deducting 1/2 star for hygiene. Even if dine-in isn't their focus, the restaurant still needs basic cleaning. Tables, stands, and doors were visibly dirty. * Another 1/2 star for the paper plates and plastic cutlery. I can't enjoy biryani with tiny plastic spoons--they practically cut your lips. So technically it's 3/5, but that Goat Pepper Fry is such a highlight that I'm pushing it back to 4/5. I'll definitely be trying more items from them.

    I honestly can't say a single bad thing about Naxos. After my first visit, I went back the very…read moresame week, and it has officially earned a spot in my top three restaurants in New Jersey. From the moment you arrive, everything is exceptional. Parking is plentiful, which is always a plus. The restaurant itself is stunning, with beautiful colors and an atmosphere that truly makes you feel like you've been transported to Greece. The service is equally impressive! From the warm welcome at the hostess stand to the attentive and knowledgeable servers. For appetizers, we've tried the octopus, roasted beets, and the lobster gyros. Every dish was outstanding. As someone who loves octopus, I was surprised that the lobster gyros completely stole the show. The flavors were incredibly unique, and every bite was absolute perfection. The seafood here is cooked beautifully. We've had the Lavraki, Tsipoura, and Dover sole, and each one was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. If you're a fan of branzino, I highly recommend trying the Lavraki. The lamb is also fantastic and definitely worth ordering. For dessert, we've only ever ordered the Loukoumades because I just can't bring myself to choose anything else. These golden, crispy dough balls are soaked in a luscious homemade honey syrup and are simply irresistible. When you find perfection, why change it? (I love textures and this dessert give you that) Naxos delivers on every level, food, atmosphere, and service. It's one of those rare restaurants that exceeds expectations every single time, and I can't wait to keep coming back because its so hard to find this level of perfection.

    The restaurant itself is beautiful, they really did think of every detail. Location is convenient…read morewith plenty of parking. Service was excellent, super friendly and attentive. While my wife enjoyed her bronzino, my chicken left a lot to be desired. Lacked flavor. The humus was excellent. Doubt we'll be back, but was worth a try.
