Paheli Indian Cuisine 1210 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, NJ 07470

"Fantastic food! Both of our dishes were some of the best versions we've ever had. Will definitely be returning."

"First time trying this restaurant, ordered online for takeout. Was ready when I went in, sooner than the site said. Got the garlic naan and chicken mulligatawny soup. The soup was hot, great depth of spices and flavor, 16oz. The naan was fresh, hot, soft and garlicky! Thankfully it wasn't drenched in butter or oil. Could've used napkins and utensils though."

"We recently had an incredible dining experience at Peheli, an Indian restaurant that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The menu offered a plethora of delicious vegetarian options, and as a vegetarian myself, I was thrilled with the variety. The Chilli Paneer, Hakka Noodles, and Beetroot Feta Cheese Kababs were absolute highlights, bursting with authentic flavors that satisfied my foodie soul. The Mushroom Tikka was a delightful surprise, and the Samosa Chat took the taste experience to a whole new level. What truly elevated our dining experience was the exceptional service. The server was attentive and friendly, making us feel genuinely welcomed. The chef, a culinary maestro, crafted dishes that were not only delicious but also presented with an artistic flair. To cap off the feast, we indulged in the Faluda Kulfi and Gulab Jamun, a sweet symphony that left a lasting impression. Peheli is a must-visit for any food enthusiast – go with an empty stomach, and you're guaranteed a culinary journey that will linger in your memory."

"Amazing. My dinner here was just amazing. Easily among the best Fine Indian Cuisine I've had in the US. The service, the owners and the dishes were all top tier. If you don't want to read this lengthy review, then know from the stars and my review opening it's an absolute must try reccomendation from me. Came here with my family on a weekday for dinner and thankfully got a seat, there are people reserving here and it was pretty crowded even on a weekday. To start we got the Masala Chai for drinks and got the Chicken 65 as an appetizer and they were both good. The chai was bold and didn't hold back in the Masala aspect as most restaurants do to make it more palatable to Americans. Chicken 65 is a South Indian dish and it was perfectly made and presented with the spice that South Indian cuisine is known for and left us satisfied and awaiting the next course of our entrees. For entrees I got the Chef's Special Masala Roast, Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala. The Chef's Special Roast is a unique Goan inspired roast that was truly unique. Incredibly well seasoned and the commingling of flavors perfectly accentuated each other to really elevate the flavor. I've never had anything like this before. The owner, who is a very affable and charismatic individual with a bassy voice explained to us the origins and the inspiration behind this dish. The Butter Chicken was a hit with my family, it wasn't the best I've ever had but was definitely among the top. Velvety smooth as a good Makhni should be and full bodied with sweet aromatic flavor. The Chicken Tikka Masala was great as well, a little overt in its sweetness but the flavor was still good. The portions are a good amount as well. We are the curries with 3 orders of Garlic naan. Garlic naans were fresh and paired well with the curries. For dessert we got the Falooda and Gulab Jamun. Gulab Jamun hits the spot, it's a well known Indian dessert and my personal favorite. Paheli did it justice and I wolfed it down. The Falooda was unique, had vermicelli noodles in it and kulfi ice cream that really made it a fresh experience along with their other additions. Can't go wrong ordering either of these. My family and I had a great experience at Paheli and I can see us returning here multiple times. Great food, great conversations and great ambiance. Highly recommend this restaurant."

"What a lovely little place! We are not that experienced with Indian food, we’ve had it a few times. This lovely little place makes such delicious homemade dishes that will knock your socks off. We have eaten in the restaurant as well as ordered takeout. The wait staff has always been more than helpful and is quite patient and informative with our questions about different dishes. The couple that owns the place is always around and super friendly, speaking to people at each table. They ask your opinions and sometimes will bring out new dishes for you to try. it’s as if you are at their home for dinner. From soups to desserts everything is a true delight. A real mom and pop small business."
