"This Restaurant owned by Indian Celebrity Chef Sanjeev Kapoor (known for his unique crafting and re-inventing of popular regional dishes) was recommended to us by a few friends. It took us a while to make it here due to COVID, but we finally decided to give it a try. As soon as we entered the building, we could not help but notice the large murals and signs with a picture and signature of Mr. Kapoor. That raised our expectation of the place quite significantly. Two of us arrived here for lunch at 12 PM. They had literally just opened, and were clearly unprepared for customers since they were still mopping the floors, yet all the staff was very welcoming, friendly and courteous. Since we were the only ones there, we had the choice of any table that we wanted. We picked a corner booth near a bunch of windows. As we were browsing through the beautiful and colorful hard board Menu, we just had to smile at seeing more photos of the Chef inside and outside of the menu. We have dined at a bunch of restaurants owned by celebrity chefs, but had never seen this much “in your face” reminders prior to this place. Wow! The Menu had several options with creative twists that were a little unfamiliar to us. Luckily the staff was milling around and very willing to help us out in making good selections. We settled on Chanajor Garam Tikki and Amritsar Macchi for Appetizers, and Meen Moilee Fish Curry with Plain Rice and Peshawari Naan for the Main Course. Every item was flavorful, appetizingly plated and beautifully presented. We would have preferred a little spicier fare, but were full and satisfied at the end of our meal. The Peru Pyala with Chilli on the rim was absolutely delicious, and the perfect drink accompaniment. The portions were large enough for us to carry home some leftovers for another meal. The Bartender, Daniel was fantastic. He was attentive, chatty and helpful, without being intrusive, and gave us some good suggestions. Our server (unfortunately did not get his name) was also very efficient and sweet. The décor is modern, and has the right color palette for a dining establishment. Loved the colorful NYC Murals and the Pendant Lighting. We will have no hesitation in passing the word around for this place, and would certainly love to return to sample some other creative dishes."

The food is incredible. I spoke with Chef Babul, and his recommendations for starters really impressed us. The Peru Pyala drink was exotic, and the Bhatti ka Zinga was absolutely mouthwatering. I've never tasted Indian dishes like these anywhere else in the USA.

Simply 5 star high quality and super delicious food. Loved the menu book, quite impressive. Especially the hot and sour soup was the star. Chai was also good. Angoori rasgulla was the only subpar everything else was so well cooked. Spices were perfectly balanced and well cooked in curries we ordered. Would visit again. Highly recommend.

So i walked in for lunch in an absolutely empty restaurant and i got worried as to how it is going to be. After about 2-3 mins of thinking my wife suggested that we leave but I insisted to stay and boy i made the right call. What amazing food they make everything that we ordered was so delicious. Will definitely repeat as I would love to try their other items on the menu View menu

The food was incredible, beautifully presented, and the service was excellent with friendly and attentive staff. We were the last guests to arrive at 9:30 PM, yet they still served us top-quality dishes. We ordered Desi Manchow chicken soup, Amritsari Machchi, and Lazeez murg tikka masala, accompanied by Rumali roti and garlic naan. As a delightful surprise, my child received a complimentary mango lassi.

Used to be good, now after Covid food is below average. Paneer appetizers were reheated stale and smelled putrid. Sent it back. Service was ok, main course shaam savera was pathetic, also the Vegsabzi. Crossed off my list of restaurants. I should have seen the other reviews on yelp. Made a terrible mistake going to this place Will give it 1 star, Rajeev Kapoors Name is just a farce to get ignorant folks inside.

I guess I didn't have enough to drink here ? the food was a sore disappointment! Spice does not equal to taste please understand that!!! The three stars are for 1) the staff very hospitable, checked in appropriately for more side items, and generally very personable. 2) The bar good selection of Indian origin beer, wine, and liquor. And 3)The facilities easy and ample parking, and a well designed dining area. If you do like spicy food this may be worth the spend! View menu

We've intended to dine at this restaurant several times in the past, but we hesitated due to its less-than-stellar reviews. However, we finally decided to give it a try, and we're really glad we did. There are numerous Indian restaurants in New Jersey, but most tend to have very predictable menus. Even if the names of the dishes vary from one restaurant to another, they often offer the same options. The Yellow Chilli stands out as refreshingly different. Most importantly, the quality of the food here is superior to that of any other Indian restaurant I have tried in NJ.

Ambience GreatAllotted free parking spaceTaste and presentation was greatPrice-A bit expensive as compared to other Indian restaurants. 18% gratuity added for 6 or more guests.Service was very prompt and staff was very polite.Starting with soups Manchow soup is much better than tomato soup! So must try it had a great taste.For vegetarians Ghara dum k aloo as entree and chana zor tikki as starter is a good option.Spinach chat was also tasty and crispy.For non-vegetarians Manchow chicken soup will be a delight. Tandoori chicken was great too!Sanjeev Kapoor’s recepies do have some magic?If you are in New Jersey get an experience of this one too.
