This is an amazing little place. When I went I, I was skeptical of the quality and seating. Once I started to talk to the people, then I came to know how good and accomodative they are. We went ahead and placed our order. The prices are a mix. The price of some items is more than other restaurants, but some or less. So it balances out. But where this restaurant edges, a lot of others are in quality of food, service they provide. Tried a lot of veg items, and the taste is amazing. Kids initially did not want to try, but once they did, they really liked it, and we had to place an order for additional dishes. If you are a total vegetarian like me, who does not even eat eggs or items made with eggs, then you need to let them know, as they use the same oil to fry fish, chicken and veg pakodas. Once we told them we were veg, which is the first thing i do, the restaurant guys were very honest in letting me know, which I appreciated. So technically, which is deep fried. But the rest of the dishes are all ok and tasted amazingly. But the most important part is the people who work there. They are extremely good. I have given 4 stars for the environment because the seating space/table is a little tight for 4. But this is a little hidden cameo that everyone must visit.
Always a pleasure stopping in. They have a lunch buffet so there is no waiting and you can eat vegetarian without fear for most of the dishes.. Hint.. ask for the hot Naan bread
Was super excited to try this Indian place, but definitely thought it missed the mark in terms of portion size relative to price as well as service. Food was slow to come out and my waiter kept forgetting parts of my order. The food itself was tasty, but compared to other Indian restaurants I felt like it was very expensive for a little amount of food. For example the tandoori chicken had 5 pieces all bone no meat and no veggies.
Neelam restaurant is really good! The owner Kunal is friendly. I had a catering order and all the items were tasty and was delivered with perfect packaging. All my guests were asking for the restaurant details. Certainly will recommend this restaurant to all !
I’m seeing some bad reviews on here and I’m feeling very bad. The owner is so sweet and friendly and personally made sure we had a good time. The service was amazing in my opinion. I am Indian myself and I really enjoyed the food. Each dish was great and we ordered a lot. I will come back here again. Please try this restaurant out because I really thought it was great
The lunch was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and ambience was great. Service was excellent. We tried shrimp korma for the first time, the shrimp was fresh and it tasted great. Shaam savera was very good too. We live in Edison surrounded by a lot of Indian restaurants. Neelam surpassed all the restaurants in Edison!!
Lovely ambience, delicious food 👌😋and great service and great options to choose from Highly recommend, must try😃 There is a banquet hall to plan special events 😍
After watching a review on Youtube I went to Neelam Indian restaurant in Berkley Heights, NJ. with high expectations. I ordered vegetable samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala ( Just like in the video), rice and Naan bread. Vegetable samosas had all the flavor one could expect from food frozen at a factory many miles away. The Chicken Tikka Masala that a Reviewer on YouTube raved about was NOT what I had -- it was substandard at best. I will give the reviewer the benefit of the doubt and assume he was honest and served something edible. The sauce on the chicken was a sweet (sugary sweet) slightly Indian spiced ketchup of sorts that would cause a riot in Bombay. The chicken itself somewhat overcooked. The rice and bread were fine but far from enjoyable. The service was very good as was the water I was given. The food was a step above trash -- but not a leap. Many reviews are posted by owners, their families, friends, etc. I have NO relationship with this eatery in any way, shape or form - positive or negative - and really wanted to like it. Granted not every dish served, every time will be a masterpiece. However, given the prices that restaurants are charging, I expect the food to be edible. To be fair, my standard for quality is that if it were free -- would I eat it or perhaps take it home to someone? Sorry, but the answer for Neelam is a firm NO.
