Delighted to find a kosher meat Indian restaurant. Food was absolutely delish! However, they copped an attitude like many of the other kosher restaurants in Teaneck with the exception of Smokey Joe’s and the now defunct Kosher Experience. At the end of the meal, there was an issue with doggy bagging our leftovers. They were resistant and we insisted. The restaurant was slow that evening and this was our first time. Did they want repeat business? Are we the customer or should we be ever so grateful that they let us into their establishment? Something’s in the water in Jersey since decent service is hard to come by. In any case, I recommend this restaurant, but as always, be on guard about how you are treated as a customer.

I used to come here when it was New Bombay Grill for lunch regularly so I was happy to see it opened again with a new name. At first, I was a little nervous because I wasn’t sure if it’d be as good as it was. The staff is friendly though the food took a little longer to come out(I used to always have the lunch buffet before but they don’t have that unless it’s the weekends I think). Usually this isn’t a problem but I was on an hour lunch break and had to be back. Instead, there is a lunch special between $ 10-$ 15. I chose the $ 102 vegetarian option(the meats are only 1 option). I had the tofu spinach and yellow dal and asked for both of them spicy. It comes with either a soda or soup. My date got the tomato soup, which was alright. I just had a soda because I figured the food would be more than enough. The vegetarian dishes were really good. The yellow dal was the best with a lot of cilantro, which I love. However, neither were that spicy but I overlooked that as I scarfed down the food because it was still really delicious. The tofu spinach was awesome also. We got rice but we plowed right through that so we asked for more, which they provided at no extra cost. Yay! I love unlimited rice! Naan bread is an extra $ 2 for lunch time. This was the highlight of the meal for sure. The bread wasn’t oily and instead, perfectly baked and warm. I’d definitely return for lunch regularly!

I was very disappointed with the bland Indian food here. Only two of the three chutneys had flavor, and the two entrees I tasted were very bland. My dad makes much better channa masala than the stuff they serve here, and he is an amateur using a cookbook.

My friends and I were in the mood for Indian food. We didn’t realize it was, as the restaurant menu quoted«Jews of India». We all opted for the buffet which wasn’t all that great. The tandoori chicken was a little overcooked and rather dry. The curry chicken was decent. They gave us both garlic and plain naan only when we requested it. The staff seemed nice and the restaurant was small, but not overly cramped. $ 20 for what they offered for their buffet wasn’t worth it.

Prompted by going to the New Jersey Children’s Museum in Paramus, we made a day of trekking from Morris to Bergen county. Since museum visits are more successful with a full stomach, we stopped for lunch first. On my list of places to try had been Shalom Bombay, a Kosher meat Indian restaurant in Teaneck. It was high on my list because, while NYC has several Kosher Indian restaurants that I had enjoyed, all were vegetarian. Ever since I stopped eating meat at non-Kosher restaurants, I craved Tandoori chicken — it was one of my favorite foods from a dinner in London with a friend several years earlier. While the décor and service were«typical» of Kosher restaurants, I was thrilled with the food. Okay, it wasn’t as good as Mehndi or Caffe India, our favorites in Morristown, but I was so happy to have Tandoori chicken and lamb sausage instead of settling for non-meat Tandoori entrees I otherwise order. It helped that some of the staff are Indian, lending authenticity to the menu and preparation that white-Anglo Americans or Israelis couldn’t approximate.
