Moghul Restaurant Reviews List

Moghul Restaurant

NJ's best Indian restaurant since it opened in 1991 as rated by Zagat, Moghul serves authentic North-Indian & Punjabi food. With a recent renovation, a new bar/wine menu (although you can still bring your own), and the same great food and service, Moghul is the best Oak Tree Road had to offer. The bi-level space can easily be partitioned off for larger groups. The weekday lunch buffet is priced at $11.50 and the weekend lunch buffet is priced at $13.50, including some favorites from the adjoining Ming Restaurant.

"Food was good and interesting. Rice is a la carte. Win is limited. Waiter are nice and helpful. We did see a family with two well behaved girls enjoying a meal. Popular late. Many people going in when we left after our 6:30 dinner."

"I was looking for something close to some friends in Edison, and this was a good find. Certainly there are great Indian restaurants in the area, but this is a great place for those who may not be very familiar with Indian food. All the dishes were tasty, and service very friendly."

"Food at Moghul is exceptional.....aromatic and layers of flavor. Chicken Tikka Masala is the absolute best, and the Lamb Vindaloo was tied for 2nd with the Paneer Moghul.....Paneer Moghul tasted exactly like grilled cheese and tomato soup....only 10 times better!
Addition of beer and wine a plus.

"Although, as a solo diner, I only had one appetizer and one entree and didn;t sample a wide range of food, what I had was delicious. I did find it strange, however, that rice doesn't come with an entree - it is an extra cost."

"Hands down, best indian food around, in fact we've been all over including other states. By far the best was when we were in florida and ventured to an indian place. As we were leaving we parked next to 2 Indians who asked us how the food was, we immediately stated that well we're from Jersey and we go to this place in Edison... before we could finish they were like MOGHUL??? So in fact, people recognize this restaurant from all over. Plus the staff are like the icing on the cake!!"
