We’ve been looking for a nice Indian restaurant to serve as our “go-to” since we moved to Bergen county from NYC about a year ago, and have been disappointed with our experiences until this evening. My wife and I just came back from dinner. Thanks for recommending Aroma Palace in Montclair. New Jersey Indian Restaurants Reviews Sponsored Indian Restaurants, Snacks – Sweets: Oak Tree Road, Edison NJ to Iselin NJ Indian Restaurants Rt 27 Franklin Park NJ to Somerset NJ The Best Indian Food In New York Is Actually in New Jersey LinksĪ One-day Snacker’s Guide to Edison, NJ, One of America’s Best Indian Food Destinations Compare Mehndi in Morristown with Abhiruchi in North Brunswick and you will taste the difference. One way to tell Jersey Indian restaurants apart (ditto for Thai restaurants), is whether the spice level of dishes has been reduced for (perceived) American tastes. I’m just learning the regional origin of familiar Indian menu items – Tandoor, Naan, and Lassi (Punjab) Rogan Josh (Kashmir) Pakoras (Uttar Pradesh) Dosas, Sambar, and Idli(South India) and Vindaloo (Goa). Indian cuisine is known for vegetarian ( Aloo Gobi, Palak Paneer) and meat dishes cooked with intense spice mixes ( M asalas), flatbreads ( Roti, Paratha, Naan), marinated meats grilled in the Tandoor oven, and hearty rice Biryanis. I’m a big fan of all of the above. Jersey diners can easily find North Indian, Punjabi, South Indian and even Indo-Chinese food many Indian restaurant menus feature a variety of regional dishes. Like “ Chinese” food, “Indian” is the catch-all American description of many distinct regional cuisines (and often the shared historical cuisines of India’s South Asian neighbors – Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka). Travel the Iselin-Edison-North Brunswick corridor, especially Oak Tree Road just off the Parkway in Edison, and you’ll find plenty of Indian restaurants, markets and sweets shops.

I can’t begin to do justice to New Jersey’s best Indian food. New Jersey is home to the third-largest Indian population in the United States.
