Empyrean Indian Kitchen & Bar 20 Hudson Place Newport and Exchange Place, Hoboken, NJ 07030

"I had tried some leftover biryani a friend bought home & since then I wanted to go & try the food here. It's by far the best examples of Indian cuisine that you can recommend to anyone here without a second thought! The quantity of is large. The tamarind cocktail is amazing! We got the fried veg momos, biryani, paneer kaju makhani. Will go again!"

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at this amazing place, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was delightful, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The menu offered a diverse selection, and both the food and cocktails were nothing short of exceptional. I highly recommend trying the Central Park and Whiskey Punch – absolute delights for the taste buds. The staff contributed significantly to the overall positive experience; their attentiveness and friendliness added a special touch to the evening. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, every aspect of our visit was simply amazing. I can't wait to return and indulge in more culinary delights!"

"Almost any dish is very well prepared and served here. My personal favorite are butter chicken (ask for spicy) and fried chicken dumplings. Oh the dumpling sauce is incredible! I would just go and eat dumplings here. Great place nice vibe."

"Been to this place quite a few times and we are big fans now! The two items I would say are absolute must have are the steamed veggie momos and the paneer tikka tacos! Those tacos are genuinely so so so tasty! And the momos here are our absolute favorites in JC / NYC. I don’t think anyone makes better momos than them - and if you disagree, we are happy to do a taste test haha. We have tried the fried momos and steamed momos and while both are great, we are partial to the steamed ones! The owner, Mr Rana, is super friendly. He accommodated us on a busy night on Karwa Chauth, he is always super friendly when we walk in with our baby in her car seat or stroller and helps us make space and get her situated very comfortably. Definitely check this spot out!"

"We had a great dining experience at Empyrean! The service and presentation of the dishes made a positive impression. The spice level, texture, and taste of the food were enjoyable. Liked the vegetarian platter with well-marinated vegetables, cottage cheese and found the Dal Makhani, served with a slice of ginger, to be delicious. Additionally, the restaurant's convenient location right across from the Hoboken station adds to its appeal!!!!"
