I am always feel apprehensive when ordering from Multi Cuisine restaurants since there is a good chance that will mess up at least one order. Indian and Thai was a new combo for me, and the price was higher than what I am used to, especially Indian options, but still decided to give it a try.

A fun fusion of Indian and Thai classics. The staff is friendly and the outside seating on sunny days real amps the vibe up. They have a pretty hefty lunch special and it’s right in the center of Upper Montclair. Glad I found them!

Excellent food and amazing service. I wish I could give them 10 stars. The atmosphere was so welcoming, the staff was super nice and helpful, the Biryani we ordered was spot on, so delicious and flavorful, their food is always fresh and tasty, must try their chicken 65 full of flavors and their Thai food is also amazing. This is a must try restaurant. You will leave very satisfied and happy.

We ordered a lot for Father’s Day and everyone loved everything!!! The chili chicken was a huge hit but it’s hard to choose one favorite because everything we ordered was amazing. We ordered over the phone and picked it up ourselves. The staff was incredibly sweet and even offered us a drink while we waited for our order. Can’t wait to order again

One of the best Indian restaurants we’ve been to. We had the vegetable samosas, honey chili cauliflower, Naan and the kerala salmon moilee.

Better than expected! This little Indian Thai fusion restuarant blew me away. It seems like the big hit here is the Honey Chili Cauliflower appetizer and it didn’t dissapoint. Reminds me of a version of General Tsos with Cauliflower and Indian spices. Yum! Also, being that I’m a big fan of saag (spinach) dishes, I had to get the chicken saagwala. Dare I say, it was better than the saag at our go-to Indian restaurant and the chicken was super tender. Mouth watering;very flavorful with the right amount of spices and kick! Well done.

We have had take out several times and found the food to be very good. Last night was our first time eating in, and this time we were disappointed. Besides a server snafu (the waiter held back my husband’s order and we had to bring it home as take out) and over air-conditioning (we ended up moving outside) the food last night had too much sugar, and I left feeling queasy. When I asked why the papaya salad was drowning in (thick sugary orange) dressing, the answer I got was “that’s how we make it” – when they might have offered to redo it with dressing on the side or replace it. We’ll try another time, but I hope last night was just a bad night in the kitchen (and for the server).

I cant say enough good things about this place. The ambience is perfect. The food is exactly as described and amazing presentation. Service is excellent, they accommodated every little request we made without any fuss. They listen to our dietary restrictions and made suggestions accordingly. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back.
