I went for the breakfast buffet today, and my experience was really disappointing. I waited nearly 45 minutes for dosa, and in the end, I had to leave without even getting it. On top of that, I waited around 20 minutes for bhature to be … More

I traveled 1 hour on recommendation of my friends. It was worth it. We ordered North Indian and South Indian both along with starters. Everything was perfect, yummy food, reasonable prices and good quality and quantity. They take good care of guests and serve food with love. I would come for my special occasions to save the day.

Got the South Indian thali that costed me $20, and it was very subpar. The rasam was bad, and the papad is probably a few days old as there was no crunch at all. … More

Delicious Gobi 65, good Lollipop Chicken, and pretty good Pav Baji Dosa. The Mysore Masala Dosa was very big. Excellent ginger chutney. Service is also good. Bottled water is charged onto the bill. Shares a space with Vaibhav. More

Allergy-friendly location. They took good care of my son’s peanut allergies. Food was good but a little too spicy for us despite saying mild. It may just be our taste. Service was excellent. Everyone is very attentive. Atmosphere was good but very cold; seems like the heat was not working. I would go back because we enjoyed overall. More

Four stars for the food!!.. probably among top 5 in Jersey city. However, I would give three in the service. It took a long time for the food to come and other staff services were okay. Maybe a bad day for staff, I would definitely suggest this place for Indian food.

The Sapthagiri Special is a great deal! We enjoyed the idli, vada, and both the onion chilli rava masala and regular masala dosas—everything was delicious. The sambar deserves special praise for being so good. However, if I could make one change, it would be to add a South Indian-style peanut chutney to the offerings. More

"I had a terrible experience here. We went for the buffet, but the taste was awful across the board. To make matters worse, the chutney was spoiled, which is completely unacceptable. The service was also incredibly slow and unresponsive. Between the bad service and the risk of food poisoning, I will never come back." More
