Neelam Exotic Indian Cuisine

Not much of deco/ambiance, average service but GREAT food!

This restaurant is by far better than any of the restaurants in the Edison/Iselin area, with much better service and no attitude. Great selection, reasonably priced, with many lamb choices. Absolutely worth multiple visits!

I absolutely adore this restaurant and have been reminiscing about it since my last visit. The food is delicious and the service is top-notch. My only gripe is that it is closed on Sundays and only opens at 4 pm.

Let me start of with the end: they brought the credit card processor to the table for us to take care of the bill. Our credit card never left the table. So amazing, so worldly, so safe. This is how checks should be paid. Thank you for having this system. Since under new ownership, the place is now charming, clean, the food is delicious, and the owner is so nice and accommodating. We visited during Berkeley Heights Restaurant Week, and our specials were phenomenal. It was a trial platter of two veg and one meat sauce, naan, rice, chicken masala, and dessert. If you're two smaller eaters, you could even split one tray. We'll be back soon.

Strange reminder that being a semi regular has its limits here. I noticed a distinct change when I stopped by ordering less food meaning less money. But even more disturbing was this evening. At first, I went to sit at a table with the entire place empty except for two people. Then the head guy practically ran over really irritated and aggravated, telling me not there! , then offering the tables next to the Special Table. There was nothing on the table marking it reserved. So I wasn 't scared for life but clearly I was an inconvenient stranger. So ii order four samosas and apologetically explain I would be leaving soon. This didn 't eradicate his scowl. So next thing is the samosas. Usual find, these were half cooked. Peas inside were ice marbles. The dough was near raw in places. So I waved him over and had him box them up so I could leave early as I wasn 't particularly wanted and it was becoming increasingly obvious why. So as I paid for the cold food I heard no apologies, no attempt to make it right. It 's a pity. I 've had some pleasant evenings chatting a bit with the wait staff. But once I ordered less, that changed. And tonight it was painfully evident just why I wasn 't wanted what a pity I 'm not in their chosen demographic. As I left, I mock apologized for not sitting in the right place. The guy with the attitude didn 't break character as the perturbed proprietor. He couldn 't be bothered responding and was relieved to see me leave. I assured him I 'd never make that mistake again. And I won 't.
