With another amazing day ahead of me, I decided to head back to New Jersey to experience more of the Indian food and communities there. Join me as I eat Indian food for 24 hours in central New Jersey!
Joining me on this adventure is my friend, foodie, and fellow TH-camr Jason Song. We’d be starting in Journal Square in Jersey City. Our first stop was Sri Ganesh’s Dosa House, which sells South Indian breakfasts and has been open for 17 years!
👕 DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: teespring.com/...
In the kitchen, we watched them make some paper dosas and chai. They also made us some idli, a paper dosa, uttapam, and vada, along with sambar, tomato chutney, and coconut chutney. The paper dosa was two feet long!
Inside the paper dosa was aloo, or potatoes. It was doughy with a bit of crisp and was really nice with the tangy and slightly spicy coconut chutney!
The rava dosa had no filling but was very crispy and airy. It was very different from the paper dosa and went well with the coconut chutney! The tomato chutney was creamy and super flavorful, and the sambar was also really nice!
Next was the idli, or steamed rice cakes, which were spongy and perfect with the chutneys. Then, we jumped on the vada, which was nice and savory and had a crispy crust.
Then, we drove an hour south to Edison, New Jersey and stopped at Chowpatty Sweets & Snacks on the way. I could see lots of Indian snack shops, sari shops, and more. At Chowpatty, we saw tons of Gujarati and Punjabi snacks, as well as puris for pani puri.
Next door is Chowpatty Restaurant, whose walls are painted with scenes from India. In the kitchen, we watched them make two of my favorite street food snacks, raj kachori and bhel puri. They’ve been there for 30 years!
The raj kachori was fresh and sweet because of the yogurt and tamarind chutney. The nuts and sev made it crunchy! The bhel puri was crunchy and savory, and a little spicier. The puffed rice and fried dough were really nice!
Then, they brought us a chocolate chip naan and Parle G ice cream sandwiches. The ice cream sandwiches are biscuits with vanilla ice cream between them. The naan had melted chocolate chips in it and was topped with powdered sugar! They both have western influences.
Next, we went back next door for some jalebi, which is a super sweet fried dough that’s doused in sugar syrup. We also had kesar jalebi, which contained saffron. The saffron gave it more flavor!
Ten minutes later, we arrived in Edison and headed to Pan House. The man in the window makes it. It fills your mouth and is minty, juicy, nutty, and so tasty. It gives you energy! Right down the strip is a sugarcane juice vendor! They add lemon, ginger, lime, and masala to it! It’s super sugary and refreshing but has a nice tang as well.
Then, we headed to Bombay Spice II for a kathi roll, pani puri, and the Bombay Bhel. We started with the pani puri by adding the filling and pani. The burst of flavor is unreal! The kathi roll was meaty and spicy and the chutney added a sweetness and a spicy kick!
The Bombay Bhel was crispy, airy, and tropical in flavor. Then, they brought us an Indian-inspired mojito, goat curry, chicken biryani, raita, and naan. The goat curry and naan was unreal.
The gravy was incredible and the biryani was so fragrant and tasty! Adding the raita made it creamier and helped glue it all together.
Finally, we drove two minutes to Sukhadia’s Mithai & Restaurant for some gulab jamun, a doughy milk ball doused in sugar syrup! It’s the ultimate sweet! What a way to end my Indian food for 24 hours tour in central New Jersey!

About Me:
My name is David Hoffmann. For the last 13 years, I have traveled the world in search of unique culture, food, and history! Since starting David’s Been Here in 2008, I have explored over 1,200 destinations in 84 countries, which I welcome you to check out on my TH-cam channel, travel blog, and social media.
I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local culture.
P.S. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing!
David, it's been an honor to have spent the entire day with you trying Indian food! Love how you're so knowledgeable about every item - I learned so much! I had tried Indian food for the first time earlier this year but I had no clue what I was eating but it was great for you to show me around and try all the different tastes of India. I now have a much bigger appreciation for the cuisine because now I can describe the foods in more detail along with their ingredients and even when people eat them and how they eat it - like with their hands. First time eating with hands! Glad I was able to eat with my hands for the first time with THE INDIAN FOOD KING!
Thank You Jason.
Love and Respect from India.
so happy for you Jason ☺️
Fr I saw the whole video
People say i made the wrong decision by quitting my job to smoke weed on my TH-cam channel full time but I believe in myself🔥
Jason thanks for trying so many dishes with Dave. Although, you'll need some practice about using your hands / fingers while eating. So keep trying Indian dishes and you'll learn just like Dave.
David should be an official ambassador of Indian food outside of India. His knowledge about Indian cuisine is exemplary.
You're are the greatest promoters of Indian food that I have ever saw in my life keep promoting like this bro, lots & lots of love from all indians🇮🇳❤️
The kada (bangle) on david’s wrist shows the love he has for india and indian food!! Good luck brother!! Love from 🇮🇳 india
Eh it's Vada
I’ve learned so much about Indian food and culture bc of you. Thank you 🙏🏻 🥰. I also especially loved your Eastern European/Western Russian tour. Great job David 🤩
Hey David.
Love the way you explain Indian food to your friends and family..
N most is the way you teach other people to eat indian food without utensils..
Luv u brother
Hi David , I just wanted to say thank you for showing what real Indian food is , as I feel most of the western world think of curry when it comes to Indian food , and you very rightly mentioned in one of your videos that curry is a word invented by the British ( which isn’t Indian at all) . So thank you … 🙏🏻
Hi David (Just FYI): Idli is a soft, pillowy steamed savory cake made from rice and lentil batter. The lentils used in making idli are urad dal (black gram). Idli is a traditional breakfast made in every South Indian household. Idli is popular not only in the whole of India but outside India too.
Have a great day! Nice content, Keep up good work.
Cheers 🍻
Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it's a good place that we're all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it. Love from Korea 🇰🇷💕
when we see David with other TH-camrs/ subscribers one can see so much enthusiasm and energy David puts in compared to other youtubers.
Hey David, its really great you remember where all you have tasted our delicacies here in India. You are taking our Indian cuisine globally. Grrrreeeeaaaatt
Your love for Indian food can heard when you are talking! Had to smile when you started listing the sides that go with dosas 😄
My favorite part of Indian food is how diverse, novel and complex Indian food can be. Theres nothing like samosa with green chutney. Dosa is not exactly my favorite but I love parathas with chutney and tamarind or with the curries I ordered with.
It’s so good to see when people love Indian food ❤️
David is so possessive with his food. Always putting them in his side, holds the food for longer, snatches the dishes at times etc. Irks me. Level up man.
David's way of learning about other people's cultures, and his attempt to spread beautiful information about food culture is fantastic. David is a respectable man with a special personality. lover from Saudi Arabia 👍
True, David is king of Indian food. He has experienced it all, from north to south, east to west. Just amazing!
David, also popular is Uppma/Uppit for breakfast. Also Besi bele bath, Kara bath, Vangi bath are popular rice based dishes which can be eaten at BF, lunch, or dinner. Try them out if you get a chance!
David it will be amazing for ur guest to have a separate set of chutney as it remains constant with most South Indian food, and then you can share the dosa, vada, etc
HI David, u must be an Indian born in your pervious birth . Your passion for Indian food is just incredible. RESPECT BRO....
David you eat more Indian food than me ( myself being an Indian ) 🤣🤣
I envy you man!!
But I love how much you have learned about the Indian culture which closely relates to the Indian food and the way you explain it to everyone!!
Love the moments when you defend stuff like an Indian would 😂 ( like when someone says Chai Tea - and you are like naaah man its Chai not chai tea ) 😂
Keep it up man! Love watching your videos ❤️
indian food best in the world😊
Yes bro
💯💯💯💯💯
Bro u know Grammar?
Really bro
Indian food is over cooked or deep fry 😂😂😂
Crazy bro 😂... Ur love for Indian food is unmatched.. makes us hungry though
I’ve lived next door to Iselin/Edison all my life and love the variety of south Asian foods available. Happy that you chose to feature Chowpatty restaurant and sweets. We have been going there since it opened 30 years ago.
Wow that dosa looks amazing! Its my dinner time in Switzerland my mouth is watery seeing dosa. Yummy😋 enjoying your video👍
Greetings from Switzerland.
David is an Indian without the citizenship, yet. Awesome ambassador of 8ndian cuisine
David, your knowledge of Indian food is impressive!! The most impressive part was you knew papdi is a Gujarati snack!! 😀
Always love to see you eating INDIAN food.. lots of love from INDIA
David, you are a bloody pro! You seem to have mastered the art of drinking hot chai, like us. In the future, you would be a hit if you were to start your cooking show, making all these dishes.
Hi Dave, the rivers that you crossed while going to Edison were the Hackensack River & Passaic River. Not the Hudson River.
Kudos to the both of you. Really well made video guys.
Thanks David for loving Indian food , Indian culture and trust me ur more Indian in more ways than many, ✊
bruh who said to him india is about tiny pieces.. he has taken it to the heart 😂😂
take as big or as little of a bite you want dude 😂
26:15 gives you wings 😂 loved that! ♥ From Karnataka 🇮🇳
Yet another fun video. Jason was a quick learner and enjoyed eating Indian. But then David is a fantastic teacher and so knowledgeable of the Indian cuisine. It’s amazing how he fondly remembers all the places he’s visited in India.
I had my first dosa yesterday. I got a masala dosa. It was so good! Can't wait to get some more this weekend!
Awesome
This time try RAVA MASALA DOSA.
Try different kinds of Dosas, including the simple Plain one. But whatever you do, avoid getting those cheese dosas and other gimmicky fast food-like variations that are popping up everywhere these days. The traditional dosas are: Plain Dosa (the OG dosa), Masala, Paper Masala, Ghee Roast, Mysore, Madras, Neer Dosa, Rava Dosa, Udipi dosa, Bangalore dosa.
Wow! You are enjoying the food in the right way - with a good friend.
Hey David! Yu doin' a great job. Love what yu do. I'm from tamil nadu and I absolutely love everything yu ate for breakfast. But indian breakfast is way more than idly, dosa, vada and uthappam. Other parts of India also have a great variety of breakfast food. I recommend yu to try and eat poha, khaman, paratha, puri with chole/ aalo and kachori because I love them personally.
my my David ur such a pro with Indian food.how u and your friend enjoyed and ate like a native indian. namaste from delhi india.
Love from india 🇮🇳 indian food very delicious
David ur way of saying Chai Chaaai LOL
That's what I call The Ultimate Indian Food Tour in America's greatest Indian Community !!
The Background Music was also Dope !
I've bern here so many times!!! My family lives nearby. Amazing food, perfect quick snacks and paan too 😋😋😊😀👍 . You name it.. al of the best street foods, pani puri is amazing and papri chaat
Lovely
"you can eat however you want" 36:45
that's the most inspiring statement
every viewer must admit to this
32:40 David, just a tip, whenever eating pani puri, put in mouth immediately after filling the water. The reason for this is if you wait after filling water then the ball will get soggy or break down.
Indian food so tasty chikan briyani my favorite 😋
David, I truly enjoyed your Indian food video and never seen anyone enjoy indian food so much!
8:40 lady comes and pays her respect to Ganesha
True ❤️❤️
I can watch ur indian food videos for the whole day ❤️😍
Love that you eat the food the way it’s meant to be eaten
Trust me I have tried every cuisine in this planet but nothing beats Indian food man you gotta respect that fact 👍👍👍
It was treat to eyes ... David in your upcoming restaurant, you might as well start classes for first timers as how to eat Indian food ... double income rest assured :)
Very nice of you to testing our indian food.simply can say very mouth watering dishes
Wow! My world just s t o p s when I see you r e l i s h i n g Indian dishes ❤️❤️🍻🍻
There is no vinegar in any of the ingredients. The sour taste comes from fermentation of the dosa batter. And in sambar there is tomato and tamarind.
The way to eat idlis is ...dip it completely in the sambar and eat with spoon .And after putting in mouth eat some chutney
U amaze me with ur indian knowledge on indian foods hats ogg to u im sharing ur videos to ppl all around the world!
Wowww!! So happy to see you back in Jersey city.
I use to live two blocks away from Dosa house back in 2017-18, happy to see Jersey City restaurants (Dosa house) in specific, hope you guys enjoyed the breakfast.
Few of my colleagues use to live on that Sambar - LOL
Go and try Biriyani Pot too!!
Enjoy mate!!
Love this video..indian food is pretty amazing..keep enjoying..if you're ever in Orlando..we can do Indian and Puerto Rican cuisine..Enjoy..😊💯
David I myself being an Indian loved your videos. God Bless n well done 👍🙏
So happy to see that you are spreading our ways to the people of northern hemisphere 😀. Good luck 👍
I feel confident enough to say: All American's who want to try out Indian food for the first time, need to go through David's channel for a crash course in Indian food.😊
Love you David because you love our Indian food. I m so happy to see you eating and enjoying our Indian food. Great 👍 🥰🥰✌️
I feel so good to see this, that you are enjoying our Indian food and also you are teaching to someone how to enjoy Indian food and also telling about our culture and everything.. it's so nice. So much Love from Hooghly, West Bengal...❤️
Mouth watering dishes, Masala dosa and vada is my favourite... ❤❤love from Kerala
your pronunciation of indian words always makes me laugh David. love your videos. Love from New Delhi
David you are awesome man , I like your videos and content , I think you should be a ambassador of Indian food
@David, you have extensive knowledge about India food. When you identified "Papdi" being a Gujrati snack you killed it there, man.
as an Indian and South Indian, Indians especially me don’t enjoy Indian food as much as you guys do. It’s crazy!
This was a fun video to watch! Enjoyed watching you two relish every bite! God Bless you both!
Loved watching your video ✌👍. The pani of panipuri is generally tamarind water mixed with masala. For papdi chaat, you put the chaat (puffed rice bhujia mixture) on top of the papdi (fried crisp) , and eat it like a taco. Which is why on the streets of india, you will see the papdi placed at the bottom layer and topped with the bhujia, tamarind sauce, nuts and few more stuff. So you hold the papdi with the bhujia on top and eat it in one bite. We generally eat bhelpuri with a wooden spoon from a roadside vendor.
My favourite indian food king is here... 😇😍.. Love you so much...
we love to watch your indian food series
I am SO waiting for your restaurant in South Florida!!
So good to see u bro in exploring Indian food
Your 24hrs series are great...keep doing
I am pretty sure that the batter they use for making dosa is fermented which is the reason why it tends to taste a little sour.
Yes the better is fermented, but some people make it different way.
Trivia: Indian street on Newark avenue in jersey city where David starts his tour in this video is where the movie “Aa ab laut chale “ was mostly shot
You are true Indian man🙏
Those are some of the best looking idlis.
Hey David! I am from India, We have our pani puri with both the waters minty and sweet and tangy together to give mix of all flavors. Although it's up to you what you prefer and being served the way you request...here in this video the side sauce is sweet which we fill in pani puri with the minty water.
Hey David I love the way you though him how to actually eat with own hands.. Super Nice Buddy.. he was loving it Awesome..
Hey David
!!your knowledge of Indian food is impressive!!
Here I want give one anwear to your

Simply Incredible David! Its absolute pleasure to be one of your subscriber! lots of love and respect :)
I just ordered idli , masala dosa and medu wada for breakfast after watching this 😆👍👍
hey devid.. being an indian.. i never had this much variety of food..wow love u..
Indian food is simply great. Eating an Indian food gives you physical and spiritual satisfaction. It appeases all your senses at one time. Vibrant colours will appease your eyes, sizzling sounds will appease your ears, five tastes (sweet, bitter, sour, salty and spicy) will appease your taste buds, different smells will appease your nose and food with different tempratures and texture will appease your sense of touch (provided you are eating with your hands).
Whats pan tastes like..
It gives you wings.. 😂
DAVID'S BEEN HERE...AND VOLPE HAVE REALLY GOT OUR INDIAN FOOD TO A TEE.
How do you tolerate so much restaurant Indian food in a day? I as an Indian, cannot handle more than a couple of times just in one place.
Jason was actually was enjoying and taking interest in Indian Food
David, that pani puri water is made of fresh mint & Cilantro with spices! Not only "masala paani" lol😅
U should taste gur(jaggery) rasgulla ..that will be awesomenin winter
He deserves 1 million
This guy has eaten more Indian food than indians 😆
Hey David you know much more about Indian Food Men! Awesome.. I am happy that you love Indian Food.. keep going Buddy 😊👍
