Ujala Kabab 2 - Jersey City

I had a terrible experience with service today. I placed a delivery order through DoorDash, but when it arrived, it was completely wrong because the restaurant gave the driver the incorrect order. I ordered vegetarian food but received non-vegetarian dishes instead. I reached out to DoorDash support, and they arranged for a redelivery. Initially, it showed an estimated delivery time of 40-45 minutes, but after 30 minutes, I received a message stating that the restaurant had canceled my order. My kids were eagerly waiting for dinner, and after waiting for two attempts at delivery, it was ultimately canceled. This was very disappointing, especially since it was the restaurant's mistake in the first place, and they should have taken steps to fix it. Additionally, their phone wasn't working; every time I tried to call, it went straight to voicemail. We shouldn't have been left waiting if this was going to end in a cancellation.

I visited this restaurant for the first time, hoping to try something new. I ordered a platter that included pakora, palak paneer, and roti. Unfortunately, aside from the roti, the rest of the meal was disappointing. The pakora was hard, dry, and lacked flavor, while the palak paneer was a strange dark brown color and tasted bland. The service was slow, and when I inquired about the quality of the food, the hostess said the kitchen was backed up, despite there being only one other table occupied with two diners. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money here. Additionally, if the owners are reading this, focusing on better hygiene could greatly improve the experience.

The food here is exceptionally delicious. I tried the chicken tikka, egg biryani, and egg butter masala, and the flavors were perfect. The seating is spacious, and Chef Queresh Bhai is very friendly as well.

Took waaaaaay long for the food to come. The quality of food was decent but not worth the wait.

This is my go to spot for Indian cuisine. Awesome food and excellent service; this place never disappoints. The buffet is perfect if you are sceptical and prefer to try different menu items in one sitting. Highly recommend.
