"Its a very pricy and overrated Indian restaurant with average taste (especially for vegetarian options . Salt was less in all the 4 dishes we ordered Hara bara kabab, Cauliflower 65, Methi chaman veg gravy (24$ and biryani. Even the chutney/onion thatwe ask for the starters has to be purchased. I heard from the people that the ambience was fabulous but I felt it was OK! Thereare many other indian restaurants with better ambience in NJ. The only attraction of this restuarant was the Robos, that bringsthe food to our table. Btw, I am the big fan of Deccan spice at Jersey city, ignoring the ambience."

"I recently had an extremely frustrating experience at this Restaurant, which I feel compelled to share. The incident highlighted a severe lack of management skills and poor communication within the establishment, resulting in a significant waste of my time and an overall disappointing take-out experience.I placed an order for pickup from uber eats, and the restaurant notified me that my order was ready for collection. Excitedly, I made my way to the restaurant, only to be met with a bewildering statement from the manager. After arrival, they informed me that my order would actually take an additional 20-25 minutes to prepare. This sudden change in the estimated waiting time left me feeling frustrated and annoyed.The primary issue here lies in the poor management and miscommunication within Paratha Junction. It is essential for a well-run establishment to have an efficient system in place that accurately communicates the status of orders to customers. In this case, not only did the restaurant fail to provide an accurate estimate initially, but they also failed to update me promptly when they realized the delay.I would give a negative rating cause of this poor management."

"Very disappointed with the customer service I was given by one of the ladies who works there . She was very rude and disrespectful to me . There was a miscommunication on there end regarding something I had ordered . I never said anything to them except told them I they gave me something else than what I ordered. The lady came to me and confronted me and accusing me of something I didn’t say . It’s on their end they had a miscommunication. I am really disappointed at the way I was treated so disrespectfully. I really liked their food but very sad and disappointed on how I was treated . She should be trained on how to talk to a customer and how to treat a paying customer."

"My experience with Indian food is limited, but I was excited when invited to dine at Beenz Indian Grill And. The friendly staff informed me that the restaurant specializes in traditional Indian cuisine, with some Indo-Chinese dishes as well. We began with chicken lollipops and Manchurian cauliflower fritters—both were outstanding and full of flavor. For the main course, we enjoyed a mixed grill, Tikki chicken masala, and Saag Paneer. To complement the meal, I tried their house special cocktail made with Malibu rum, which paired perfectly with the bold flavors and gave me a tropical, Caribbean island vibe. Whether you’re an Indian food expert or a beginner like me, this is the place to go for Indian cuisine in Suffolk County!"

"While the ambiance might not be the most impressive, the food more than makes up for it. The biryanis are exceptional, particularly the Gongura chicken and Hyderabadi lamb dum biryani. Additionally, the portion sizes for the price are quite generous. They offer a family size, but ordering two regular biryanis will definitely be enough for a family of four. The only downside was the Mirchi Salan, which was too watery instead of the rich and nutty flavor it should have. However, the robust flavors of the biryanis truly stood out."

"The food is so expensive! Just for 1 paneer dish, idli vada combo and Chana bhatura I paid 40 bucks. Not only that they forgot to include the button on for which I had paid already! And then, when I open my meduvada, guess what I see, each medu vada each 1 inch diameter. I would recommend to down in as in carry out they skimp on quantity! Paneer and chole was bland no spice at all."

"Absolutely the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. The plates were dirty. We reached way early than the closing time still were rushed into ordering food. After ordering we received the main course before appetizers. We could order anything else as they straight away told that the kitchen was closed even though they let a few people in after we ordered. There was hair in our food. The canned sodas were expired. We also had to go upto the reception to ask for everything. No server came to attend our table. The guy was bringing trash can to other tables while we were still eating. Terrible experience. Even Taco Bell is better and hygienic restaurant as compared to this. I would suggest you go to any other place if you want to have decent food and enjoy your meal."

"I just found another hidden gem in the worlds most Iconic city, living here in San Francisco, you can find anything and everything. But there are some that are a diamond in the rough. This restaurant was amazing in all aspects, fast service, fast arrival of food, and quality is beyond 5 star. This just hits the spot! I can’t emphasize how many times I’ve driven past by this hidden restaurant, the name is sketchy cause it looks like a grocery store, then looks like a restaurant, but it’s both. All in all, I recommend anyone visiting or living here to this place, I’ll definitely be returning."

"I think when you are serving your country's food in another country you are representing the food of your country and it is ok if the food is not authentic or not having the exact same taste but it should be at least tasty and healthy. I had the dinner last week and ordered paratha , samosa and some curry , Everything was refried multiple times and it was having very pungent smell and totally tasteless food. I was very disappointed and food kind of made me fall sick next day."

"My husband Kenny and I love Cilantro, it is by far our favorite place to eat in the triangle area. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting, the staff are all incredibly kind (shoutout to Raghib! , and the food consistently amazing. We are both vegan, so sometimes finding places that have both vegan options AND tasty food can be a challenge but Cilantro knocks it out of the park, which is why we come back on a near weekly to biweekly basis. Our favorite dishes to get are the Coconut Curry and Vegan Kabob, with honorable mentions to the delicious Karahi Aloo Gobi Vegetable Jalfrezi (sub coconut milk . Eating here feels like eating at a family members home you can really taste the love and intention put into each dish."

"Hello readers. As Indian I always search for Indian cuisine where I go and recently I moved to Kalamazoo and found this restaurant. If you're looking for Halal Chicken, that's the right place. Let's go to our dishes, believe me, I have tried and half the dishes made available/included in their menu, but have no pictures of all. The rate per court after my visits. P.s they ask for ur spice level so my is also medium spice level or if rate of 10 that it 8 1) veg samosa (3.5/5) it is good and okish if you have a samosa fan 2) Veg hakka noodles (3.8/5) It's one of those dishes I like from here. U will get the feeling of eating the same as when you eat in India. 3) Bombay Chicken biryani (4.2/5) Sharkling from Mumbai I loved this because it is exactly the same thing I have in my hometown except to put the egg. It is delicious and the chicken pieces are also fresh and delicate, they have added large masalas for this special dish. 4) Fire masala dosa (4.5/5) If you love too much spicy, this is suitable for you. Very sharp and brilliant. This dish is only for spicy food lovers. 5) Chole bhature (5/5) (highly recommended) if you love this dish, it is the best here. Not an **** feature fan, but it feels like you're eating in old Gully from Chandni-Chowk from delhi 6) Dal makhani (3.5/5) Again one of the best dishes from the main course for which you can choose. It is really delicious and with garlic naan it is simply scrumbling. 7) Hariyali Chicken (4/5) if you have a white meat chicken person, that is then best. One of the most important courses I would recommend to others. 8) Chicken chettinadu (5/5) before I came here, I had not tasted this dish and a very recommended one from my side. Simply brilliant and delicious in taste. One day I also came to the buffet and all the items were tasteful and buffet is available only on weekends The service was fast and the staff is friendly. Overall, it is good and has to visit here. Bones"

"This restaurant is about eating to live. The food is nowhere near gourmet. Rather, it is standard staples of Indian cooking prefabricated and served for lunch, anyway on a buffet line. I adore Indian cuisine, but this food was not worth the calories in terms of taste, freshness, or anything else"

"I had chicken biryani and masala dosa for lunch. The dosa was incredibly tasty, especially with the various chutneys. The biryani was good as well, but I found the rice to be a bit on the drier side. However, the chicken was moist and delicious. I will definitely come back again."

"This was my first experience with authentic Indian cuisine, and it was fantastic! I'm now a big fan and will definitely seek it out again in the future. We were a group of 16, and the staff managed our party effortlessly, serving our food promptly and checking in on us regularly. Those in our group who were more familiar with Indian food were very impressed and are eager to return to this restaurant. I highly recommend it!"

"Really nice restaurant that serves authentic Indian foods. When you first walk in you get the feeling, that you entered a buffet style restaurant. But you soon realize it’s a full serve restaurant. There’s plenty of pictures showing the food, as well as a really good description of the entrees. Tandoori Chicken -marinated chicken cooked in a clay oven Chicken Tikka Masala -chicken cooked in delicious creamy sauce Chicken Tikka- good pieces of chicken and served with mint sauce. Goat Biryani- Traditional Indian dish made with seasoned long-grained rice layered with tender goat cooked in a thick gravy. I love, love, love this rice dish."

"However, the dining experience inside is quite disappointing. It feels like I'm eating in a break room at a workplace, which gives off a rather neglected vibe. If you choose to order for pickup, be prepared to wait—my food has taken as long as 45 minutes, usually around an hour. Even when I ordered on a Wednesday afternoon at around 4 PM, when they weren't busy, it still took that long. The service is... okay. It's not terrible, but the wait times and quality consistency are concerning. I still order from here occasionally, but it's more of a rare treat. The food is good, but they really need more staff, improved service, a complete interior renovation, and faster food preparation times. Ideally, they should aim for an average of 15-25 minutes, but I've seen it take 40-45 minutes during peak times on Fridays and Saturdays. Waiting 45 minutes for one dish as a single diner feels excessive. I've personally experienced waits of over an hour when I've been their only dine-in customer. While I haven't faced the 90-minute to 2-hour wait times mentioned in other reviews, I can see how that might happen for larger takeout orders. I do recommend trying them— the food is definitely tasty—but there are other options nearby. If you have a car, restaurants like Utsav, Godavari, Dhaba Whala, and Kumar's are all within a 15-minute drive, and their takeaway orders generally take no longer than 30-35 minutes, even on busy nights."

"I ordered Curry for my son while he was quarantined w/COVUD; however, I needed to speak w/someone in the kitchen to ensure NO dairy would be added. If you go to their website there is an option to chat w/someone regarding your order which is quite unique during this day time. The person reminded me that they are closed in the afternoon opening at 4:30 PM, but they'd have the chef or someone from the kitchen call me. That is EXACTLY what happened. I spoke to the manager who made suggestions of entrees my son might like based on his preferences AND medical needs. We also discussed the differences in the levels of spiciness. This was a unique experience. Although there wasn't enough broth juice in the food for him, he absolutely LOVED the flavor profile, the suggestions and support. Knowing he wouldn't be risking eating something he's highly allergic to made me much more comfortable ordering on line. This restaurant really goes out of their way to ensure you have a great dining experience. I'd suggest giving them a call. I look forward to visiting the actual restaurant."

"I went to this restaurant after a concert at the Shoreline Amphitheater and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of vegan options on their menu. The restaurant was bustling with customers, and I was impressed to find out that they are open until 1am. I tried the veggie fried rice, which I would rate an 8/10, as well as the mixed veggie pakora, which I would rate a 9/10. The sauces that came with the pakora were also delicious, earning an 8/10 rating. The tomato soup and naan bread both exceeded my expectations, with perfect 10/10 ratings. Overall, it was a fantastic meal that left me feeling satisfied and nourished. I will definitely be returning next time I attend a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater."
