Arusuvai Chettinad Indian Restaurant

We usually go to the banana leaf thali on Saturdays but today tried the Sunday morning buffet. It was delicious. The menu list is too long to even begin with. Bisibele bath was very tasty. They also had live indo Chinese counter. The chutneys( peanut, coconut, tomato and many more) for idli and uthappam were great. Goat biryani was ok. Tindora fry was the highlight. Desserts were also yummy. Every item we tried was wonderful. We even missed a few dishes because we didn’t have enough space in the tummy 😜.

The food is amazing! Perfect amount of spice, flavorful, and authentic. Great ambiance, and friendly staff. The Kothu Parotta was incredible, so was the Rasmalai and the Vegetable Kurma. The podi idli was tempered in ghee, and the rose milk was amazing! Will visit again.

Delicious Chettinad food !
We had Tawa grilled Bronzini / konkan crab / sardines rawa fry and Kola urandai for appetizers !
It’s awesome !
Try their Alleppey kingfish curry ( kerela ) !
The best !

This place gets 5 star because of everything.. the food, service and hospitality and the interiors will transport you to south India.. good chettinad flavors. Tons of vegetarian options. the sizzling brownie with vanilla ice-cream was 10/10. Rasmalai was fresh and tasty. Jamoon was nice but syrup was a bit sweet.. the ice-cream election is good chocolate ice-cream tasted well.

The food was great. Many varieties. As we went in for a buffet, I could not comment on the service. When I go in for regular lunch or dinner, I will update. But for now, I will give 4 *s. As the space is small, I felt it was a bit cramped. So, that is the reason I have the atmosphere as 3*s. For some, it may matter as long as the food is good, which it was and has 5*s. Varieties can be seen from my pics. As I am a vegetarian, I have only veg pics. Did not take an entire array of non-veg food. Parking is also a bit tight if all businesses are running.

Amazing place with a lot of food options. We have tried Chinese, Chettinad and Punjabi dishes and all have been really well made. Dish portions are generous too. I am a regular (with friends and with family) and each visit is a taste bud celebration. Thanks to the staff and chef! Highly recommend. This is also our favorite place for a happy hour as they allow BYOB! The ambience might be lacking, but who needs a fancy setting when you've got the best company and even better food to feast on!

One of the best South Indian restaurant with amazing flavors. Been there on last Sunday tried the buffet each dishes were one better than others. A must tryyy! U can feel the freshness and delicacy. Never disappoint caring staff. Can’t wait to go back worth for the money u pay

The food is tasty and the ambience of the restaurant is good. I tried their buffet at their North Brunswick location. They have good selection of vegetarian and non vegetarian South Indian dishes. They also serve wide arrays of Indian sweet desserts and mixed fruits as part of the buffet. They took extra care to garnish the sweet dishes attractively.

The buffet is priced at $17 per person for weekends. This was my first time trying this restaurant and I’m impressed. I found this place to be neat and clean. The staffs are courteous and there are ample space for parking. I will definitely visit this restaurant whenever I visit New Jersey.

This place makes me happy every time I visit. Every staff from server to check are passionate and excellent in customer service. Lovely food and ambience.

I usually go this place on weekdays for dinner, to avoid lot of people. Less crowd and great service. The server is very professional and a great guy.

Coming to dishes, I love their soup, full pomplet fish fry, biryani and Jamoons are mind blowing. Sweet pongal Carrie’s too much ghee. Other than that, one should ask for house or day special, they make creative dishes every day.

Overall, the top best Indian restaurant I have been in NJ and all their food is organic with no grease, dalda or soda.

We had a buffet on a Sunday during the Christmas holidays. It was crowded and we waited for 30mins to get our table. I would say the food is worth the wait, they have a lot of options in their buffet starting from Idli, idiyappam, rice rasam to biriyani, tandoori, Momo's, shrimps and crab. A lot of varieties for both veg and non-veg and most of the items tasted good. Call them and check for their menu on that day before visiting. Price per head is $30 and I would say it is worth visiting with family/friends occasionally to taste some good Chettinad cuisine food.

So i ordered the non veg to go meals and it is the best indian food I have eaten in a while, totally worth the price, it tastes amazing, it takes you on a trip to india by the time you complete it, it comes in a banana leaf just like authentic meals and everything including the pickles taste great! This is my go to Saturday sunday lunch! Do try it out, if you can’t go out there just order it is worth it!

Great Ambience, we went food tasting for an event and they catered . It was a great success. Food quality and taste was same as tasted . Excellent service . Uniqueness in flavor. Coffee is awesome .must go place .

Went for the Sunday Buffet. Taste is authentic. Service is quick. There is enough for vegetarians on the buffet to justify the price. For the omnivores, it is a feast.
Tilted towards South Indian menu item, but you will find some of the Naan/Paneer dishes along with Indo Chinese.
Atmoshphere is a bit cramped but that is understandable given it was Sunday.
Service was efficient, they kept things moving.
Pricing is on the higher side, but that is everywhere

Saturday special Thali's were awesome. There are lots of varieties of food items and pretty good in quality as well. Staff is very friendly, polite, and accommodating.

Really amazing food and service! We had the chicken sukka curry and chettinad mutton curry with paratha. All were delicious. Honestly one of the best Indian restaurants in the area and super underrated. Highly recommend a visit!

We had banana leaf thali, which is one of the best south indian thali I had in a long time. The taste is so authentic and traditional. Loved it !

Banana leaf Thali (both veg and non-veg) are amazing. So many different dishes with authentic South Indian flair.
Two thumbs up!

Sunday lunch buffet - Many varieties and authentic south Indian taste. Excellent service

Liked the food. Sunday Buffet is very good with lot of non veg varieties.

Love the buffet. Excellent food. The BEST SELECTION of South Indian food. They have at least 5 non veg options which includes tandoor items and yummy curries. Mostly this would include an egg dish, 2 chicken dishes, 1 fish and 1 mutton dish. They have 2 soup variety ( 1 veg and 1 non veg). They have uthappam, idli, medhu vada, bajji, etc; as part of the buffet. A chat station also is present with 1 preparation (channa masala, poori bhaji, etc). The veg section is also very rich and varieties are available. At the end, the sweet tooth cravings are wonderful. Specially prepared by the chef, Karthik, they are the 'icing on the cake".

They also give coffee, ice cream and special drink (like rose milk, mint lemon juice, etc.

This is my every week Saturday stop for lunch.
