Went here with a group of 4 friends and had a phenomenal meal. Definitely some of the best fast-casual desi food I've had in Jersey City, and DEFINITELY one of the best values in the area. I now make the commute over on the PATH train from Manhattan on a weekly basis just for the food. Must-haves dishes based on our experience: 1) Kheer (the rice pudding dessert, I have no idea how they do this as well as they do - everyone at my table asked for seconds) 2) Nihari (if it's available, the bone marrow stew is so thick, rich, and flavorful, it was an immediate favorite) 3) Tandoori chicken (fresh, flavorful, and pairs really well with garlic naan) 4) Chana (just enough spice to pair well with keema naan)
Punjab, the land of five rivers in South Asia, has history dating back to the 3000 BC (Indus Valley Civilization). From this land comes a hearty breakfast consisting of Fried Bread (Puri), Sweets (Halwa), Muddy Chickpeas (Chikar Cholay) and Aloo Burji (Tangy Potato Stew). They call it Naashta (Breakfast). This breakfast is so popular all-over South Asia, that every region has taken the liberty to tinker with the recipe. But, if you really want to appreciate what the fuss is all about, then at the very least, you need to have this breakfast with the Chickpeas made as they are done in Punjab. Three things make Muddy Chickpeas distinct. 1) It is made from extra small white chickpeas (3 mm chickpeas). 2) It is not a stew; It is braised chickpeas. 3) Chickpeas AND a paste made from mashed chickpeas & mashed potatoes blended together are braised with onions, tomatoes, black pepper, salt, and spices. One of my favorite places to score this breakfast is Shadman (293 Grove Street, Jersey City, NJ). It is available only on weekends (till 2:00 PM). I also like the Samosa Chaat and Sesame Naan at Shadman.

Chicken Kebab is good. Cons 1. No Buffet anymore after pandemic..
A wonderful gem downtown. South Asian food at it's best - the flavors are rich, complex and really exotic. Everything is good, from the Garlic Naan to the Chicken Tikka Masala and Goat Curry, or weekly go-to for takeaway. Add a couple of Pakoras and Mango Lassi and it's an incredibly satisfying, complete home-cooked meal. I consider this the best kind of fastfood.
Picked up mixed platter here for lunch, which is one veg item, one non-veg and rice or biryani. I had chickpeas, chicken karahi and rice. Perfect portion for lunch. Chickpeas and rice were good but chicken karahi had no flavor.
