Indian Food Neophyte
My first Indian cuisine experience was at Star of India (SOI). Several experiments with other restaurants, including several in Edison and Iselin, and I still return there when I want excellent Indian food. SOI's chicken sagwala is my favorite dish. Not simply my favorite Indian dish, my favorite DISH! Their tandoori sampler is also excellent.

Northern Indian Done Right!
This little restaurant is a hidden gem! You are first greeted by its unique Indian tapestries and cozy dim lights, and the soft sounds of classical Indian music. Then the wonderful smell of spices hits you like a wave. The service is very friendly and helpful. And the food! The pakoras and samosas are delicious starters. I have only tried the vegetarian dishes (all of them!) But friends have guaranteed that the lamb and chicken entrees are wonderful as well. Portions are large -- always enough to bring some home! And the spices are always tailored to your taste. If you like your food mildly spiced - the chef is always accommodating. My personal favorite is the saag panir -- a dish of pureed spinach with cream and spices and chunks of freshly made Indian cheese. All dishes are served with rice. And crispy papadam with several chutneys is served when you are seated. The only gripe I have ever had with this place is that the tables are too small to accommodate all of the dishes brought out. But great food at reasonable prices served by a pleasant staff more than makes up for this! I have tried many other local Indian restaurants and none have ever compared to this one. I have brought all of my friends here at one point or another. A must try!
