We'd been eyeing this place for a while, but never visited until the recent holidays. We got there early on a weeknight, maybe around 6, and there was already a decent amount of tables filled - and by the time we left, it was lively. I was pleasantly surprised - this is decent Indian food for a random restaurant in a half empty strip mall in Secaucus. The portions are huge! We had a lot of leftovers. I would say that some of the dishes could use more masala and heat. For example, I probably wouldn't order a dosa from here again (the sambhar was bland), but the curry dishes and apps were good. Service wasn't anything over the top, but average for an Indian restaurant. We'll definitely be back.

Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Drink: 4.5/5 Tasty food and fast service! I really enjoyed the samosas. Trust me, the mango Lassi is so comforting when eating some spicy food. But if you're lactose intolerant, think twice and still get it because it tastes good.

We had been to their Allentown, PA branch and got to know they have one in Jersey too. It was 40 mins drive from Parsippany. It is located in a really nice complex. A couple of hotels (Holiday Inn, Hyatt & Marriott) and many good restaurants (Red Lobsters-Tokyo Hibachi-Chillis, etc..) are in this area near this restaurant. Okay, I am losing track here, coming to this one- it is at the back of the complex (took some time to find out this) As I mentioned I found their Allentown branch top-notch, so expectations were the same. We got the table and settled ourselves. There were a couple of servers taking care of all the tables, so service was on the slower side. We ordered like tons of items as we wanted to try most of them. Fish Apollo - We had already tried Fish Marina at Allentown (if you did not try it, go ahead, try it. Fish pieces marinated with their 'specialty' masala, deep fried in oil). Apollo is the opposite of that - Fish pieces in semi-gravy - 4/5 Paneer Apollo - not sure why my friend tried that, I wanted him to have paneer chili so that we can have one extra preparation on the table (all non-veg folks are like me only? :P ) - crunchy coated small panner cube-shaped pieces with apollo gravy- 4/5 Chicken Lollypop- they deep fried that, it should be not that fried, instead of golden brown, it was black. Still, it was good. Comes with schezwan sauce and onions - 3.5/5 Papdi chaat - (Imposter Alert!!) - you might ask why Papdi chat among all those great dishes. Seems my veg friend did not find the menu options good enough for him and 'cursed' us to bring him here. As per him "This is a non-veg restaurant" .. lol ... Dosa and all - nope not his things. hahaha (Bw Papdi chat was good, but it had no potatoes) - 3.5/5 Mutton Biryani - well, being a big-time biryani lover, I could easily rate it as 8.5-9 out of 10. If you know better biryani than these, pls pls message me on Yelp. I would like to try. Biryani lovers- let's help each other : ) Chicken Hakka Noodles - surprisingly, it was good. I had some prenotion that south Indian restaurant - will it be good? But it was more than good. Go for it...! Chicken Chilli Garlic Noodles - equally good. And hey did I mention their Madras coffee? one of the best coffee I had in recent times. -5/5. Few Pointers: Their spicy is "real spicy" not like white folk's spicy, so be careful. Portion - it's big. Like the '2 girls can eat one biryani' type. Price - $17 for biryani, amidst inflation- it's reasonable. Ambiance- Spacious, nice décor, cute painting on the wall... The only thing I did not like was -their cutlery. Melamine plates and plastic glass - I Understand, normal plates tend to break if not managed properly but we are in a dine-in restaurant, not a fast-food place. I have given the feedback on the spot. Hope they change that. The food was like 8.5/10 for me for sure, and for that, I can definitely recommend it. It could have one of the best Indian foods you can have in the area.

Very good Indian food. I like all of the dishes that we ordered. Basically you pick a protein and pick a sauce/flavor to go with it. Very easy concept. Chicken biryani is a little spicy to me. Shrimp korma is great! Mango lasssi is very good. It's in a bottle so easy to take out of u don't finish it. They only have 1 or 2 waiters so gets a little crazy but overall food comes fast. Floor is very slippery (like wax?). Be careful.

A nice restaurant to enjoy some delicious Indian food. The restaurant has nice vibes but the chairs and tables are very low quality. I liked how their menu has been setup. Each type of appetizer or entree is listed with all the ways they can make it. The style of cooking is explained on the menu as well. I really liked the chicken biryani, even though its not cooked the real biryani's way, it's more like Pulao style. The goat curry was delicious too, but I felt it was more like lamb than goat actually. Chicken tikka was nice too. Didn't like shrimp korma that much, the korma wasn't cooked the way I was expecting it. The Paneer Dosa was the best item for me. Huge dosa, served with three different types of sauces and of course paneer. Dosa was soft, crispy, easy to break into pieces. We had four people and we still couldn't finish the whole dosa, it's that big. I'll surely comeback just for the dosa. Their mango lassi is also really good. It's pre-made and stored in bottle. Not very thick and has enough sweetness. The service is good. Food is prepared pretty quickly, don't have to wait for a very long time. They are really popular for take outs as well.
