Taste is good but not like authentic Indian (i heard it is, but not). we tried momos, chicken chilli, egg role, schewzan rice, Hakka noodles, schewzan chicken. Schewzan rice and noodles were good… service was not that good. for to go-definitely recommended.

After reading all the reviews, I had high hopes for an authentic Indo-Chinese experience, but I ended up feeling disappointed. The hot and sour soup was quite bland and lacking in flavor. I noticed there was no ginger in any of the dishes, which made me question its authenticity as Indian-Chinese cuisine. The garlic noodles were the highlight of our meal, while the Schezwan rice was just mediocre. The paneer chili was primarily green chilies tossed in soy sauce with a bit of paneer. Overall, I wasn't satisfied with the quality of the food; it was edible but didn't meet my expectations.

The Hot and Sour soup is simply out of this world! It’s the best I’ve ever had in New Jersey. I actually ordered it three days in a row!

The lady at the counter is incredibly kind; when I mentioned how much I loved the soup and that I had tried their noodles but would prefer them a bit more cooked, she took my feedback to heart. While the noodles are likely fantastic for others, I have a unique palate! To make me happy, she even gave me complimentary soup one day. I found that gesture truly heartwarming and a testament to their dedication to ensuring 1000% customer satisfaction. I will definitely be a loyal customer for life!

However, I recommend skipping the Thai curry, as it isn't authentically Thai. Just keep in mind that this is takeout only. It's definitely a hidden gem!

The portions were small, and the flavors were mostly unexciting. Additionally, I don’t understand why a Chinese takeout place would offer chicken, beef, and shrimp but no pork. Catering to only 2% of potential customers while the other 98% is left dissatisfied is quite puzzling.
