Mejwaani

"Having moved from Mumbai 13 years ago, I can now safely say that my search for authentic Mumbai Misal and Vada Pav is now finally over. Mejwaani definitely serves the most authentic and tasty maharashtrian food. To top the food their service is top notch too. Both Sam and Felix were top notch and went above and beyond to make this a memorable experience. We will be back here soon and soon be regulars."

"Went here for a lunch with friends and were left satisfied with some great food but the desserts need some work ! The restaurant is a specialty Maharashtrian one but the menu has a mix of North Indian dishes too. But I’ll recommend to try their Maharashtrian menu which made me remember my Pune day ! We ordered the Kothimbir Wadi , Aloo papdi chat and Bombil Fry for appetizers and all were very good, surprised by how good the chaat was and how fresh the Bombil fry tasted ! For drinks it was obviously, Kokum and Sol Kadhi , which were very good ! For entrees , we ordered the Chicken Thali , Pomfret Thali & Prawn Thali . All the thali’s come with dessert(gulabjamun) & sol kadhi . Prawn thali - The fried prawns were really good Pomfret thali - The pomfret was done really nice Both these thalis have a similar goan style curry (coconut based) which was finger licking good ! The chicken thali had a side of biryani , dry chicken masala & chicken curry which were good but the seafood ones were the real winner ! For dessert we ordered kharvas & kulfi had both were not up to the mark ! That’s the only blemish in an otherwise perfect lunch ! We were 6 & had to spend around 15-20 mins waiting which was not bad at all ! Service was fast even though it was a full house . Definitely Recommend for some authentic Maharashtrian food !"

"I've visited Mejwaani multiple times and believe it to be the best Maharashtrian restaurant in the US. My friends and I have tried several dishes, ranking them from best to okay. I have also attached pictures of a few dishes for better information. Main course: 1. Misal Pav (9.5/10) 2. Vadapav (9.5/10) 3. Chicken lolipop (9.5/10) 4. Zunka Bhakri (9/10) 5. Puranpoli (8.5/10) 6. Kothimbir wadi (7.5/10) 7. Sabudana vada (7.5/10) 8. Panner Butter Masala (7.5/10) Drinks: Piyush (9.5/20) Solkadi (8/10) Dessert: Kharvas (9.5/10) Extras: Bhakhri-jawari/bajri: (7/10)"

"Unique Maharashtrian menu… We tried pani puri which looks quite fancy but taste wise, is very so so! 100 points for the presentation but menu is just fine, same goes for the Vada pav as well!!!"

"The BEST! If I could give this place more stars I would. Best restaurant in New Jersey ! We visited this place for lunch on a Friday! Mejwaani serves authentic Maharashtrian cuisine with many vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The restaurant was amply packed with Indian and non-Indian customers. We were seated promptly. Tables were clean. Staff was very attentive. And the food.....ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. The menu is extensive. Everyone will find items that are great and filling to eat, even if you have dietary restrictions. We had a small group and tried a variety of items vada pav (straight from mumbai), misal pav, thalipeeth, puranpoli (yum!), veg hakka noodles, tandoori chicken, paneer tikka, chicken malai tikka - So juicy and cooked to perfection. All dishes very spiced so flavorfully, and so mouthwatering. Many other restaurants overpower the dishes with spice and salt and you cannot taste the flavors. Not this restaurant. The Mejwaani dishes we tasted had perfect combination of spices. Good portions too. I took some of the pictures after we had split up the food, but actual portions are larger. We even had the chance to try some unique items such as fresh kokum sharbat. For desserts we tried the kulfi, falooda and guava ice cream. I wish I had more room in my stomach to try more items. I will definitely eat and cater from this restaurant regularly. My number 1 choice for Indian food."
