Karma Kafe

Best Indian restaurant I’ve ever tried. The naan comes in piping hot, super soft and fluffy and has a lot of flavors. Chicken in the masala is the softest and tastiest chicken I’ve ever tried. Absolutely blown away. Lamb is also so soft and flavorful. They have a sauce with 3 different flavors. You can taste the freshness of everything. The price in my opinion is very affordable compared to other Indian restaurants I’ve been to and their portions are huge. I was only able to finish half the entree. It takes a while for the food to come out but if it’s this quality, the waits no problem

Such great flavor and awesome portions. Had enough leftover for dinner. The cherry on top is the complimentary rice pudding for dessert. Absolutely delicious!

I order out from Karma at least once a week
The food is delicious
Had the pleasure to actually sit down for a meal and it did not disappoint

The food is so so good and portion size is very generous
The service is quick and the staff is super nice

My personal favorites are Paneer Makhani, Naan(plane/garlic)and Mango Lasi :)

Best Indian food in Hoboken hands down! Indian is one of my favorites and this place blew me away! Their flavors are incredible, the staff were very friendly, and it felt like I was having dinner at a friend’s place for a home cooked meal!

After getting ripped off at little India in jersey city, I was a little hesitant to try another India restaurant with almost perfect reviews. lol BUT this place really is as great as what the reviews say! I love the atmosphere, the food is tasty and super generous portions, and the staff was friendly. Plus, they gave a free appetizer with 3 delicious sauces and gulag jamun for dessert!! We would definitely want to visit again.

An awesome for south asian foods. Food test is really good. Their service and atmosphere also nice.

The food taste as always good, garlic nun is a MUST with chicken tikka masala..
Only con is that after finishing the last plate I wanted to order dessert and they brought me the reciepe before ordering it... athmosphere was great at 6pm, got a little loud but it was cool.

First time here maybe 3rd time having Indian cuisine I was very delighted we had two entrees and share 3 main courses all the dishes where great I personally not a huge fan of spicy food but they have just the right amount of spicy where you can enjoy it. Had some national Indian beer on a iced glass very refreshing will definitely come back again. The prices / portion are very reasonable we average about 40 pp with drinks and tip.

I will not lie, the perfect weather contributed to the stunning review, but it was still great. I got the chicken curry and it had the perfect amount of spice and flavor. Came here for a quick lunch and it turned out to be a great place to spend some extra time. The outdoor seating is great and was comfortable. Would recommend if you live or are stopping through Hoboken.

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Hoboken and a stone’s throw from Stevens Institute, Karma Kafe is nothing short of a gastronomic delight. Perfect for the college crowd and food enthusiasts alike, this establishment seamlessly blends tradition with modernity, serving up authentic Indian dishes that are tantalizingly delicious.

Each plate is a visual and sensory journey, offering generous portions that hint at the generosity of Indian culture itself. The spices dance on your palate, reminiscent of the grandeur of Indian festivals. The richness of flavors, from the buttery softness of their naan to the exquisite tang of their curries, showcases a mastery in culinary arts.

However, a humble suggestion for the already outstanding eatery would be to allow black lentils as a side option rather than a full plate. This minor tweak would be the cherry on top of an already delectable experience. But even in its current form, the offerings of Karma Kafe are undeniably satisfying.

The ambiance is welcoming, perfectly complementing the warmth of the dishes. It’s an experience that doesn’t just fill your stomach but also warms your soul. For anyone in Hoboken, whether you’re a student at Stevens or just passing through, Karma Kafe is a must-visit. In every bite, there’s a story, a history, and a passion for unparalleled flavor.

Karma Kafe is fabulous! We’ve been a few times and always enjoy ourselves. We went on New Year’s Eve and they were giving everyone fun accessories to wear and champagne to cap off our meal. The chicken saag, palak lamb, and samosas are delicious. It’s pretty fairly priced too.

One of the best Indian food place, the food was delicious and service was very good. The portion size are good and price are great!!!!! I had Bombay shrimp, Desi fish fry and Mutton Buna with Garlic naan.

The tandoor sampler and goat curry dishes were decently sized and delicious - a balanced blend of heat and spice. Mango lassi was smooth, showcasing mango and yogurt flavors in a harmonious way.

Had a great experience at karma kafe, food was very fresh and good tasting and the service was good.
Things on the photo:
1. Kingfisher beer (4/5)
2.complimentary papad (5/5)
3. Chicken Biriyani (5/5) huge quantity!
4. Chicken Samosa (4/5) was fresh and crispy but lacked the spicy punch
5. Desi crispy fish (5/5) best item I had here, must try!
6.Panner Tikka (4/5) could be spicier
7. Chicken ginger soup (5/5)
8. Masala chai (3/5) was too light

Overall a great experience, not that expensive.

Nicely located on the main road. Variety of options on the menu. Quantity of food is good for 2-3 people easily. Garlic naan is fluffy and delicious. Don’t miss the watermelon juice, it’s fresh with no added sugar. Chicken samosa was little dry but tasted good. Chicken Malabar had a unique taste and comes with rice and daal. They also serve papad on the table.

I ordered the daal makhani with one onion kulcha and one bhel puri. It was definitely a two person meal, so I had to carry half home. Food was delicious, even the second day. Especially daal makhani and onion kulcha! I like the atmosphere there too.

I think this is my second roundabout in 2 years to this place. Just a quick buy and reminded me of the taste from the first time around. Any place that do not make it feel like you weigh a thousand pounds and you do not regret eating at that place, is, in my mind a very good place. And this is a very good place. We had a chicken, vegetarian korma dish. Highly recommend this place!

Nothing better than sitting by the window and enjoy some amazing food on a cold night! Our waiter was the nicest, atmosphere was relaxing and food was just soo good! Variety, good level of spicy without being too much, recommended!
