MANJAL INDIAN CUISINE

Manjal is our favorite Indian restaurant. It's a quaint, cozy spot in Ridgewood, NJ. Food is delicious! You have to order the boom boom chicken appetizer, and for an amazing vegetarian option, the honey chili cauliflower is ridiculously good! They have Saratoga still water, which is the best. Excellent food and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit.

I was blown away by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed with the cozy ambiance and friendly staff especially Sridhar who is super friendly. The menu featured a variety of authentic Indian dishes, each more delicious than the last.

For starters, I ordered the masala papad and they were crispy, flavorful, and served with a mouth-watering toppings of cucumber onions and chat masala. We also ordered Chicken Tikka along with Achari Paneer Tikka for the Veg. person in the group. For our main course, we tried the Chicken Curry and Egg Curry which was recommended by Sridhar himself and Paneer Bhurji all of the dishes were simply amazing. The meat was cooked to perfection, the egg curry was delightful and traditionally cooked and the spices in all dishes were perfectly balanced, creating a burst of flavor in every bite.

To wash the curry down we ordered Chili Garlic Naan and Garlic Naan, super fresh and flavorful. We also wanted to try something north Indian style so we ordered Fried Rice then which was mind blowing. The entire meal was fantastic, and the service was impeccable, with the staff always checking in to ensure that everything was perfect.

Overall, I highly recommend Manjal Indian Cuisine to anyone looking for an authentic taste of Indian cuisine. The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was delightful.

As you can see on my profile. I have been reviewing on google from decades but haven’t reviewed in while. The truth is I have decided to myself I will give review to place after I visit there three times.. three times means three times.. because previous what I had notice that I give review to place at my first or second visit and when I go for 3rd time or 4th time the food has changed or something happen and also disappointed with it. BTW my 3rd or 4th time is in months not in few days.

You may saying or thinking BC YEAH KYA BOL RAHA HAI YEAH.. BHAI YEAH PLACE KA REVIEW BATA NA..

The FOOD WAS amazing, you know why food was incredibly amazing because the staff members like Sridhar where amazing, you kow why Sridhar was amazing because we were amazing 🤩.. 😛

BRO.. bas bhi karle…

Iight bro we started our order with masala papad and you can see in my picture how the Masala papad looks like. I wish i had functionality to compare other restaurants Masala papad and this restaurant Masala papad. Google Hire me for your UX.

Bhai tu Restaurants se Google pe poch gaya. Aage batana…

Bhai dhiraj rakh aaram rakh.. kyu ki dhiraj and aaram ful (fruit)……

Next we ordered Tandoori Chicken and Achari Paneer.. oh man don’t even start on this IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING…. DONT ORDER TAKEOUT.. EAT THERE AND TRY THE FRESH HOT FOOD THERE. You don’t smell the same. Achi wali smell 👃 Nonsense.. beside Tandoor Chicken and paneer every single vegetable was well cooked.. BHAI DEKH Achari Paneer aesa ghar pe tu bana nahi sakta hai kyu ki you don’t have the same magic power they have in their food..

BHAI SERIOUSLY ME THAK GAYA AAGE BATA..

Ok dekh bhai baat aesi hai ki FRIED RICE with Chicken is not same as FRIED RICE with Panner because Chicken and Paneer is not the same lol 😆 BC iska kya yeah Chu****a hai. Nahi bhai but FRIED RICE were the same in both.. well cooked well fried and jo maza aaya hai 🤤 .

Also we had tried Pakodas, Malai Kofta, Dosa, Pav Bhaji Dosa, Cheese Naan, Roti and bahut saara bhai every thing was amazing.. YOU SHOULD MUST VISIT AND TRY

For Garlic Naan, Egg Curry, Paneer Bhurji and more item you gotta please read the next latest review on it.

Iight long story short. This is the best and the BEST Indian restaurant in this neighborhood BTW we live very far from this place.. but Sridhar, Sudher, Hari and other team members kindness bring us back to place. They make a choice of yours… they do care about their customers.. they serve food with LOVE.. really really kind. I wish the best for this restaurant I hope they go long way..

Food was tasty and good quantity, more of North Indian style. Great service

Hands down to the Best Indian food in Ridgewood. Loved their Boom Boom chicken appetizer , got a unique taste to it. Shrimp Biryani is one of the best I had in long time. Will be back soon to try more from their menu! Service was exceptional as well!

This is by far the best Indian food I have ever had. The flavours were not overpowering, everything tasted fresh and wonderful, the service was great, it was a perfect experience.

A great restaurant for delightful Indian cuisine. Love their Dosa and masala. Comfy decor

A Cute Authentic Indian Cuisine, Food is delicious, tried their Tandoori Chicken and Keema Masala Dosa both fulfilled my Indian Food Cravings!
Will be back again to try more

The food was great and comes with good quantity
We had honey crisp cauliflower and Veg khorma
The problem is rotis are sometimes not fully cooked.
Overall a good place to eat

Simply amazing.

My wife took me for my birthday a couple days ago, food was excellent as always but more than that is the Indian crepes that I didn't know exist!!!

A kind of super thin crust wrap stuffed with raspberry, cashews, chocolate and dates ..... I had the chance to talk with chef Shridher who said is not a common preparation but as special occasion was made for me....!!! Thank you!!!!!

We we're looking at Indian restaurants in the area and ending up running into Manjal by chance. The food was good with many South Indian options and the service was even better! Highly recommend if you happen to be in the area!

We mostly order take out from Manjal. The food is consistently good and one of the best Indian restaurants in and around Ridgewood. Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for Indian food

Second time for my family eating in this restaurant, we love Indian food in this place is very authentic in the food is excellent five stars !!

This is by far the best authentic Indian food in Ridgewood. The quality of the service, food, and care during our meals is exceptional. This family run establishment exemplifies true hospitality in each meal we share here.

Best Indian food around. My family is vegan so it is sometimes difficult for us to eat out, but our waiter was extremely accommodating. He recommended some dishes and even adjusted some to be exactly the way we wanted. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was homey, and the food was out of this world. Definitely try this place if you are in the area!

We go here to eat often since we discovered this gem. I recommend this restaurant highly. The food is authentic and so delicious. I would recommend everything on the menu.

Very nice Indian family restaurant. I and all of my family greatly enjoyed the food and the place.

One of the best Indian restaurants in Bergen county area. They have the tastiest lamb biryani and curry, not very hot & spicy yet flavorful and tastes amazing. My kids loved it! Only thing is, their place is very busy so there maybe a possible waiting time to get a table. Highly recommend this place!

A great place to have warm Indian food. You can bring your own bottle. The service is excellent. The right amount of attention given. Dishes are tasty

It is definitely the best Indian restaurant in the area. I frankly think that this is one of the best restaurants in Ridgewood. Food is always fresh, very authentic, very yummy. The service is great, there is nice and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!
