I was blown away by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed with the cozy ambiance and friendly staff especially Sridhar who is super friendly. The menu featured a variety of authentic Indian dishes, each more delicious than the last. For starters, I ordered the masala papad and they were crispy, flavorful, and served with a mouth-watering toppings of cucumber onions and chat masala. We also ordered Chicken Tikka along with Achari Paneer Tikka for the Veg. person in the group. For our main course, we tried the Chicken Curry and Egg Curry which was recommended by Sridhar himself and Paneer Bhurji all of the dishes were simply amazing. The meat was cooked to perfection, the egg curry was delightful and traditionally cooked and the spices in all dishes were perfectly balanced, creating a burst of flavor in every bite. To wash the curry down we ordered Chili Garlic Naan and Garlic Naan, super fresh and flavorful. We also wanted to try something north Indian style so we ordered Fried Rice then which was mind blowing. The entire meal was fantastic, and the service was impeccable, with the staff always checking in to ensure that everything was perfect. Overall, I highly recommend Manjal Indian Cuisine to anyone looking for an authentic taste of Indian cuisine. The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was delightful.

How do I give this place 6 stars? The food here is so flavorful! Although the dining area is not super large, it is totally worth dining in as the food takes on another dimension when eaten in. Best restaurant in Ridgewood. On flavor, it is as good as or better than any Indian restaurant I have been to in Manhattan. Amazing!

Manjal is our favorite Indian restaurant in the area - one of the few places to do dosas as well as doing excellent versions of classic dishes for a great price compared to others in the area, always love coming here every time! Chana masala, masala chai, and masala dosas always are incredible!

Manjal is our favorite Indian restaurant. It's a quaint, cozy spot in Ridgewood, NJ. Food is delicious! You have to order the boom boom chicken appetizer, and for an amazing vegetarian option, the honey chili cauliflower is ridiculously good! They have Saratoga still water, which is the best. Excellent food and friendly service. Definitely worth a visit.
