We just ate at Moghul on Oak Tree Rd in Edison this past weekend to celebrate my uncle's birthday. So much yummy food! Reasonably priced.
We like Bombay Blue Bistro. About a mile further down from most of the restaurants on Oak Tree Rd.
While I like Indian food, I do gravitate to some of the different styles beyond the most common tandoori places. Also as an important caveat, I don't care about being fancy.
Places I like are:
Calcutta Wok - This is in a food court called Flavor Junction on Oak Tree Road on the second floor of a nondescript office building sort of place where there are a lot of small vendors inside. In addition to this Indo-Chinese place there is a dosa place, a chaat place, etc. I like Indo-Chinese food (especially chili paneer). This place, of course, is pretty much zero on the fancy scale.
Sri Dosa Place - This is a small restaurant on Route 27. It's aptly named. This is a place for dosas. I like dosas!
Papa Pancho Pizza - Also on Oak Tree Road. This place has Indian fusion pizza. Never had paneer on your pizza? Time to fix that. (Last time we were there, which was a while ago they were doing some construction and I think they were merging their space with Moghul Express next door, so I'm not sure if that's done or not, so there's a chance things may have changed depending on how merged they are going to end up being.)
Bombay Spice II - Further down route 27. The paneer tikka kati rolls are the bomb. This is a sit-down place that also has Indo-Chinese selections, so while I like the I-C food at Calcutta Wok slightly better, it's perfectly fine here and it's a slightly more normal dining experience. Also the paneer tikka kati rolls!
(There are other Bombay Spice locations in Iselin and on Oak Tree Road, but I haven't been to them so I can't say what differences there might be.)
For the most part, most places you try will be good.

Any recommendations? I will be ordering to take it home...just in the neighborhood and know it has a lot of good ones. -And I have never been. Thanks!
