    I recently dined at Bhog and I must say, it's no joke. The expertise in crafting each dish with authentic ingredients and meticulous care is truly impressive. The flavors were absolutely delicious, showcasing their culinary mastery. Our server, Ajay, ensured a pleasant dining experience, and the timing of the food was impeccable. The desserts were a highlight—each one a must-try, showcasing their signature style. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for an exceptional Indian culinary journey.

    Tasty, decent, complete non-veg and veg Thali with 10+ varieties is Value for money Indian meal. Even other starters we tried like Chicken 65, chilli chicken and cut mirchi were made fresh and delicious...would definitely visit again and recommend too

    Restaurant is nice, food was fine but service was especially slow, maybe because they had big gathering that day in their restaurant. We ordered veg manchow soup and pudina paneer tikka for starters, both were good. For main course we ordered kadhai paneer, which was ok as gravy had too much tomato in it. Tandoori roti wasn’t good. In dessert we had their gulab jamun brulee, which was really nice. I would definitely recommend this place as worth trying as this is a nice place with fine food.

    Recently went with my family for lunch at Bhog Somerset. When I entered I noticed the ambience was really good. They recently renovated the place and it looks even better. Went to try the lunch thali's. As a starter they gave soup which tasted nice. For main course, we tried both veg and non-veg thali's. The thali has many varieties and completely filled us. Non veg thali came with cashew chicken fry, chicken curry, chicken pulaov, white rice, poori, dal, sambar, rasam, chutney, and moong dal halwa and also forgotten to mention pappard. Whole family enjoyed veg and non veg thali's. Lots of food for price. Service was also good. Gave us complimentary dessert with brulee and gulab jammu. Overall, had a really good time and would definetly come again.

    A very unique and clean decor .. food was very good .. the rasam is a must. The lamb chop was great. Chicken curry, paneer paratha and the naan was awesome. One of the better Indian restaurants in NJ. Service was very very good. Basanth was a darling and made very nice mocktails.

    GREAT HOSPITALITY AND FOOD!! - MUST TRY RESTAURANT ! Bhog wowed us with their service and hospitality. This will stand out your entire dining duration. Warm welcome; regular attention to what you want, checking if you liked spice level etc. Arvind and his team provided great service!! Loved their food - we had Manchow Soup, Veg rolls, Veg Manchurian (this was a deep fried more than rqd), Chicken platter, special chicken biryani (this boneless biryani isn’t dum-biryani though). Drinks - loved Mango Lassi, mocktail - Colada. Salty lime soda was just about right. Desserts - we ordered Paan Filios (paan fillings in a bowl cracker topped with whipped cream)….too sweet for us but a different combination to try. Arvind gave us a complimentary Gulab Jamun brûlée which we loved more than Paan dessert! All in all great new ambience under the new management, perfect spice levels in the food, interesting desserts combinations.

    This place opened recently and is excellent! Definitely a hidden gem 💎 We came on a Friday during lunch and ordered: Veg Samosas - 10/10 the potatoes were seasoned perfectly and the pastry was cooked really well. They were a little on the small side though. Mutter Paneer - 10/10 well balanced and not too heavy. Sometimes the paneer is too tough but this restaurant made it perfectly. Sauce wasn’t too thick either. Veg Manchurian with gravy - 9/10 very good. Definitely the best veg manchurian I have had in NJ Butter Naan - 10/10 excellent, light and fluffy with the perfect amount of butter Rice Kheer - 10/10 not too sweet. Rice was cooked perfectly and it wasn’t overly sweet like it is in other places. They also serve theirs same with fresh pistachios on top. Goat Biryani - 5/10 the meat was excellent but the rice was meh. Wouldn’t order it again After our meal they brought us Gulab Jamun Creme Brûlée complements of the chef, which was a great surprise. Not a combination I would have ever thought of but it works! It was delicious and light 😋 I had came here previously with my mom and was pleasantly surprised to find that they also had several creative vegan option as well. This time we were all meat eaters tho so we didn’t have any of the vegan dishes. Price are normal for Indian food in this area. Service is also normal.

    My daughter and myself devoured Guntur Mirchi Bajji, Gulab Jamon Creme Brulee and malai flower pot. Goat pulov, Paneer Tikka Masala with garlic Naan were good as well. Bhog also catered our daughters sweet and choosing them was best decision we made. Perfect execution of full service dine in along with amazing food. All thanks to Nimma, Srinivas and their team of chefs and waiters...our backyard party was a huge hit.

    Went for a quick lunch with wife. I think this place is a gem of an Indian Thali. The quantity and the quality are both adequately matched. Loved the Chicken Thali and the Dhoti Mirchi Drink. My wife opted for the virgin Mojito which was great too. The Biriyani was scrumptious, the chicken curry was rightly spiced and tasty. Will definitely recommend the Thali and the Dhoti Mirchi drink. The drink had a subtle green chilly taste but not overly hot either, rightly balanced. Service was quick and courteous too. Overall a great experience, we will be back for some more for sure.

    We recently dined at Bhog with family and I must say, it was an incredible culinary experience that I won't forget anytime soon. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and excellent service that made us feel right at home. The restaurant's decor is modern and chic, with a touch of traditional Indian elegance that creates a soothing ambiance. But the real star of the show were the managing staff, bar tender and chef curated food and mocktails! The personel at Bhog truly display an amazing talent for culinary arts, creating dishes that are both visually stunning and incredibly delicious. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavors and spices that perfectly blended together to create a unique and unforgettable taste. Moreover it felt healthy similar to what you may experience in India which is hard to find within the west! Further, all I can say is that this place needs to be experienced and you’ll know it!l the moment you enter this humble abode!

    Amazing Indian food - beyond just the thikka masala and paneer dishes. I came here with my family for lunch and was blown away at their thali that had an amazing assortment of south and North Indian dishes. One of the finest Hyderabad chicken dum biriyani I’ve eaten outside Hyderabad. Needless to say they took care of very well, promptly serving us hot piping food in short notice. Will come back again soon!

    The food and ambience is elevated than other Indian restaurants. The food was way too spicy for us- we had appetizers (which were spicy) and desserts. Skipped the main course.. as kid could not eat. The flavors are ok - although have a lot of potential and scope of improvement. Wish them best!

    I went there with my coworkers during lunch break. I must say service was great and server was polite and friendly. Bhog has thali which is a good option for people like me who likes to try multiple things. They have nice mocktails. I ordered veggie thali, it was okay option, I didn’t like few stuff but overall it was good from soup, appetizer, main course, bread and something sweet. Server was very accommodating and helpful. Should surely try this place.

  • 5/5 James C. 1 year ago on Google
    I see some people say that this is the best Indian food they have eaten. I agree. But I will also say that this is some of the best food in general that we have ever eaten. Everything was balanced, flavorful, spicy, sweet, creamy, etc etc etc. The Manchurian Cauliflower is by far the best we have ever had. The Samosa was delicious. Chicken Tikka Masala and Shrimp Vindaloo were incredible. The Naan bread.... oh my god, so light, crispy and soft. So good! The service was wonderful, filled with smiles, attentiveness, and accommodating. I want to curse, it was so good. But I can't here. So I will say this place is so freaking good. Please, come try it. We will be back many many times. They thanked us for our positive words about the food, but it is us who should thank them. I want to live here. We can't wait to come back.

    We drove all the way from Jersey City to this place and I would just say that - The Food was amazing !! All the servers specially 'Hari' and 'Basanth' were very friendly as well as aware of the dining service making sure customer satisfaction was reached. Was really an eye opener to me. The food quality as well as the serving sizes were great. Went with my family and recommended it to many friends who gave me nothing but just amazing positive feedback. Food was brought to the table accordingly manner. Drinks (Mango Mojito, Spiced Guava) were on time and splendid. Just the right recipes to make satisfy your great appetite. Had their Jeedipappu Kodu Pakodi(Cashew) as a starter, was recommended by the server (Great Choice) also wanted to try the most talked about Non Vegetarian Thali which is mind blowing. Did not know what the hype was until I tried one and wow. Definitely did look up to expectations. Also had Masala Roast Chicken and Veyinchina Mamsam(Goat/Lamb) which is with perfect amount of meats. Must I say a explosion of different wonderful spices and flavors. Desserts are the Scrumptious which you cannot afford to miss it. Most definitely will return with my friends and would highly recommend for families looking to have a great outing. They are also opening a Banquet hall soon which would be a definitely a good surplus for any event/gatherings to have in combination with this Amazing food with great Ambience. Last but not the least, the owner er of the restaurant is very down to earth and friendly. He makes sure that each and every customer is served properly with utmost care and concern. Hats off and Thank you to the whole Team!

    Had dinner for first time. We ordered Chicken 65, garlic naan, roasted chicken masala and flower pot dessert. The roasted chicken masala was very delicious. The garlic naan and chicken masala was the best combination. Mild spicy, Had flavor and taste. It was so good, can't wait to come back 😋.

    The food and service were great! Rich creamy flavorful sauce. They even gave me a free desert, which was a cut above the average deserts in the Indian Restaurants I’ve been to I. The past.

    This is the new location of Bay Leaf Grill, which had been in Highland Park. The food when it was in HP was excellent, and it still is. You will experience subtleties of flavor not always found in run-of-the-mill Indian restaurants. The pakodi appetizer was terrific: lightly fried vegetables where you could taste the different vegetables. We also ordered the chicken chettinadu and a lovely buttery saag paneer, both excellent. Patronize this place. The food is wonderful.

    Highly recommend the Goan Shrimp Vindaloo. Chili chicken was very good but it was not shown on the menu (can tell them in person or on the phone). The chicken was also nice but I apologize for that I forget its name.

  • 5/5 Praveena D. 1 year ago on Google
    we liked the experince, food was realy good and fresh, we ordered guntur mirchi bajji, chicken65, pudona paneer tilka and egg fried rice. Every dish tasted to its authentic self, finally they offered desert gulab jamun cremebrulee, beautifully plated and tasted best. I would higly recommend going to this place, the ambience so classy you can plan a gettogether or birthday.

    My friend and I are not familiar with this area and we accidentally came to this restaurant for lunch because of its positive reviews on google maps. This is definitely the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had! I love the naan and dessert the most, and my friend love the lamb chop. Nadhi provides excellent service for us. We had a wonderful experience.
