Pooja Exotic Indian Cuisine — Restaurant in Warren Township

A friend and I went to Pooja based on a recommendation from her son, who routinely travels worldwide. Pooja is a small restaurant hidden on the side of a small group of stores. It was like finding hidden treasure. The atmosphere was tranquil and had a quiet elegance. The lighting is much softer and the setting is much nicer than indicated in the pictures. Since I'm not very familiar with Indian food, we asked for recommendations, which we got after we were asked general questions about the kind of food we liked. We were also offered a choice of mild, medium, or spicy seasoning. We shared the medium Lamb Taranga and Chicken Tikka Masala with a side of plain naan bread to enjoy with the sauce. The food was excellent and the service, too. I took home leftovers, but they were gone before they got to the fridge. Am looking forward to...

Tried this place for the first time to order online……and the experience was pathetic. Absolutely a waste of money. Ordered “Veg Jalfrezi” and “Yellow Dal Tadka”. Veg Jalfrezi was nowhere close to how it’s actually prepared. Yellow Dal Tadka was supposed to have Mung and Masoor dal. But it had lots of Chana Dal, a typical way of cost saving for any restaurant. They provided plain rice as well, which was also half cooked or was prepared long time back. If they can’t even prepare good plain rice, what else can be expected from them. Also, they provided one Papad, which smelled very bad due to the oil they use for frying it, OR once again was cooked long time back in the day. I am giving 1 star, because otherwise I cannot submit my review. It’s actually not worth of even one star. Total...

I keep ordering food from this place. They are excellent in quality of food & service. The staff and manager is too courteous & knowledgeable. Abd why i say this is that Last time I ordered a Fish tikka, sag & makki ki roti and it was so delicious that It reminded me of Punjab in India from where this delicacy comes. It was very mildly spiced and makki ki roti stayed soft for a long time which is unusual. I compliment the chefs of this restaurant. They packed it so nicely in very presentable boxes so that it doesn't get hard. We have enjoyed the food thoroughly and will order again. And this is not the first time that the quality of food has been extraordinary. Congratulations, pooja team for giving traditional authentic food to residents...
