Sawan Indian Cuisine - Manalapan

This place is total garbage. The dishes are small, expensive and taste stale and old. I ordered the chicken tika masala and I could believe the chicken was leftover from the afternoon buffet. Also the only COLD drink you can get is water.... they do not have a refrigerator and give warm cans of soda.

This small out of the way restaurant is in a small strip mall off of route 9 in Manalapan. It 's probably one of the best kept secrets when it comes to food freshly prepared, and like homemade . The restaurant offers a lunch buffet (great introduction to Indian cuisine if you are not familiar with it that includes both vegetarian and meat dishes, simply presented emphasizing the individual flavors and colors of the Indian cuisine. No fancy displays...just simply presented delicious food! The staff is minimal, and the space is small, although homey and inviting. There is plenty of parking and easy to get to. Menu prices are very reasonable. Quality is excellent! This is one of my favorite places to eat, Worth the 35 minutes it takes me to get to! Vegetarian options: paneer curry, paneer dishes, lentils, vegetable pakoras, aloo Chana are some of the delicious dishes offered Parking: Free, large parking space

Vegetarian options: There is an entire vegan menu to select from

Chicken tikka masala is like tomato soup. Chicken briyani is dry and missing ingredients. They were once a good restaurant, but now they use cheaper ingredients and terrible style.

Very good prices. Helpful friendly staff. Good simple food. Quick service.
