Jyoti — Restaurant in Wayne

First of all, I would like to start with people in there. They were welcoming, accommodative, very patient, and very nice. Inside ambiance is really very good. It's not too dark or too right. Just right enough. Tables and chairs are clean. Went in with the idea of lunch buffet, but there are only 4 veg items. Way too less compared to other places. Probably, they had 2 non-veg items. Next food. The order was delivered pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the quality is not something I could boast about. The mixed veg pakoda was not even warm, and on top, it was charred. See the pic (half eaten). Rest can be seen in the other pic. Technically, it should be golden brown, but this was very dark brown to black. Ordered chili paneer and Gobi manchurian. Manchurian was kind of half baked. I could feel it to be still kind of eating batter and not Gobi. Chili paneer was OK, but a lot of big onion pieces. Chat papdi was the only one that was good. Entree, paneer masala was very good. Butter nan was soft and nice. Dal and jeera rice were also good. Veg biryani was ok. It was not great tasting, but it was not bad either. Manageable. I think we had too many appetizers, so probably biryani felt ok. But the texture was good, unlike I see in a lot of restaurants where it will be soggy and you don't like eating. Drinks were sherli Temple, which was good, and mango mint non alcoholic mohito was ok. Both had a very strong flavor of something artificial, which produced some medicine taste. But otherwise, we enjoyed the entrees. We have been to many parties in this restaurant and food was always good. If your requirement is more of an entree and not much appetizers, this would be a good place. It is a family owned business, and I have high regard to the family for serving the Indian community from such...

We held a party at Jyoti. The hall was the only good thing. Our overall experience was pretty bad. My guests arrived in time, and the servers didn't bring the food till 45 minutes into the party. Buffet trays were always empty. We had to tell the server multiple times to refill the food. They were very short of staff. We got a live station of Aalu Tikki Chaat. It was a joke! The tikkis were laying on the side, with a bowl of chhole (chickpeas) in the middle. All the server did was add the yogurt and raw onion on the top. It was horrible! For Dinner, it was initially discussed that it would be out in 15 minutes after we tell them, but that day, the story was totally different. Dinner did not come out for 45 minutes to an hour. They intentionally delayed our program. We got the hall for 4 hours as per their policy, but we had to increase an hour and end up paying $300 extra! The food was cold, some of the entrees were dry and half cooked! We ordered 2 desserts- one was displayed, the other was being passed by the butler, but looks like hardly anyone got it!

I would NOT recommend this place!!

It was a total rip-off for us! The management...

So I went in around 12 pm on Thursday and wanted to try out their buffet so before I start I ask the guy that was working in the shift about their buffet and asked them if they have nan and then the guy they did and it’s included with my buffet.So I ordered nan because I didn’t like the way their rice looked it look very old and nasty so I was done with more then half of my nan so I order another one and the guy said no ur not done with ur nan I can’t give u another one and I offered to pay and then he was making big deal of out of I was extremely embarrassed I wouldn’t go to this establishment again because I tried to complain on my way out and there was lady that was arguing with me.

Update they are saying the owner wasn’t there but I never spoke about owner or know who is the owner and obviously I am talking about the right establishment if I talking about Indian food and buffet and nan and talking about a lady.Save ur money don’t go here. I wouldn’t...
