I recently visited Bollywood Tadka with high hopes of indulging in a delicious buffet experience. Unfortunately, my dining experience left me thoroughly disappointed, particularly with the quality of the food. It felt as though the dishes had been prepared a day or two in advance, resulting in a stale and lackluster taste throughout.

This takes the cake for the best Indian lunch buffets I’ve ever been to. First of all, the selection is so diverse. They have literally everything you can think of, ranging from vegetable pakora, chili chicken, to gulab jamun. Everything I tried was amazing, especially the chili chicken! Moreover, their service was great, despite the fact it was a lunch buffet. They explained what each dish was when we were curious and one of the servers even came up to our table and served us fresh garlic nann. I can’t wait to come back here!

I recently visited this restaurant, and unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The food was average, and it lacked the authentic flavors that one expects from any indian restaurant. I tried the biryani, and while it wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t great either. The rice was wet and over cooked, Chicken is not that tender and the flavors were lacking. Portion size was decent, but the taste didn’t quite hit the mark. It wasn’t the worst biryani I’ve had, but it also didn’t stand out as anything special. Butter and garlic Naans are soft and well done. Sizzlers are just good. Chicken tikka masala was quite ok. Overall the food could’ve been better. The ambiance was also underwhelming, and the decor felt outdated. The waitstaff was attentive and checked on me frequently without being overbearing. They were very kind and generous. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant, as there are much better options available in the area.

This is one of the best Indian cuisine in the entire tri- state area ! The food is fresh and flavorfull. The place is very clean and well kept, It has a very peaceful ambience. While I was there, I was welcomed by the owner Mr. Surinder Pal, the sweetest and most humble person I’ve ever met. Thank you for your kind hospitality. I will be telling all my friends and Co workers to come here !

This is the place to be; excellent food, excellent service, respectful workers, and excellent atmosphere. We have been going to this restaurant on the weekends since we moved to East Brunswick in 2012, and we have never been disappointed. I cannot think of a better Indian Restaurant than Bollywood Tadka.

Lunch buffet at just around $15/ person, you can’t go wrong. Staff are friendly and service is great. We were the first to arrive on a weekday so it was great to have the whole restaurant to ourselves. Almost all the dishes were out and after the first plate, the remainder were brought out. The waiter was nice enough to bring us some garlic Naan since there weren’t any during our first round.

Stopped in for dinner just off the njtpk on rte18 on our way home from a long weekend. We shared vegetarian appetizer platter(samosas, 3 kinds of batter fried veggies), Vegetable thali combo (paneer, sag, rice, nann, tomato soup, etc.), and the Tandoor combo (shrimp, 3 kinds of chicken and ground lamb kabobs, and naan). Everything was amazing. The staff were very inviting and attentive. The decor is an interesting expecting mix but cheerful, bright, clean and comfortable.

As I walk out of bollywood tadka after a meal I can’t help but reflect on how I almost missed coming here. An undervalued gem. The food delicious. The service friendly and the ambience relaxing. We truly had one of our very best meal as a family today. Will return always!

I recently went to Bollywood Tadka with high expectations of enjoying a delightful buffet. Unfortunately, my dining experience left me extremely disappointed, particularly with the food’s quality. It felt like the dishes had been prepared in advance, resulting in a stale and unexciting taste throughout. Special mention to chilli paneer that was hard and rubbery.
