- Jersey City's India Square is one of the largest and densest Indian communities outside of India. Or at least in North America! It is the highest concentration of Indian people per square mile in the US, rivaled by Edison, NJ. While Indian food in Edison, NJ is surely excellent, Edison is quite a ways from NYC! If you are based in NYC though, don't bother much with the Indian food in New York City. Just hop on a quick train ride to Jersey City for more authentic and much more expansive Indian cuisine!
Most Indian food in America is Northern Indian food, and consists of all the staples that you may have heard of: you know Chicken Tikka Masala, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and all the staples that people in the West are familiar with. However, JC's India Square also has a large selection of Southern Indian food, so it really is a diverse and authentic neighborhood!
Today though, we won't venture too much into unfamiliar territory. We will review a tried and true: the Indian buffet. These buffets tend to be very North Indian heavy in style, due to the saucy curries going very well as buffet foods. However, we won't be eating your typical Indian buffet in New York City, with dry chicken and overly sweet curries. We will be eating an Indian buffet in Jersey's largest Indian community so my expectations are high!

Made me sooo hungry, I could eat 7 plates of food at an indian buffet
Bro 7 plates is too much
@@TheNomadHighlights I hadnt eaten in two days so I was starving lol
@@TikiRainbows don't do that bro eat a meal per day at least
@TikiRainbows Brother in case if you want simple basic India food for free visit a Gurudwara or a Temple nearby preferably lunch time .🙏
Atleast on Sundays they serve free meal@@KS-gt9up
Head down to Oak Tree Road in Edison. 145 Indian restaurants with 46% of the population identifying as Asian Indian. The smells of the food through the area is just amazing.
Our friend is from there before moving to PA. I need to go to Edison Now lol
Love it. Right next to White Castle. Glad you went back.
Great video love these smaller not as fancy restaurants videos. Keep them rolling please and thanks
Yes! Back in India Square. I remember your eggmania review.
I would ❤ love another buffet review with Rasoi. Or for something different check out Dosa House!
So much great stuff to explore on Newark love seeing it back in your rotation!
I remember your OG video at that indian egg place! Possibly the most eggs consumed by a food reviewer in youtube history😂
This was a good video & yes, we would love to see what other Indian food options are there. I do remember the older video as well 😊
Little History: Indo Chinese food became famous in india from the 1960s. Its not a new thing at all. It stems from the Chinese community in Calcutta (chinatown), india. Chinese cooks in Calcutta modified their dishes for the indian palette then, and those recipes became very popular among indians. So now, there are like 3 generations of indians who loves Desi (indian) Chinese food 😊
Nice to see some indian food. I get plenty from some really nice colleages and you can really taste the time and effort that is put into these dishes when done right.
Hello, great review. Lots of love from New Delhi, India. I appreciate how you managed to eat Indian food in your own style. I would like to clarify a few things for the viewers.
Indian curries and vegetable dishes are traditionally eaten with either bread called "Naan" or rice. The spinach potato dish that you tried goes really well with Indian breads. Indo-Chinese food is quite popular in India, especially in northern India. Dishes like Hakka noodles, chili chicken, and momos (dumplings) are something that should be introduced to Western people.
I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos. ❤
I love this place! Rasoi and Pariwaar Delights are also good. Would love more India Square content.
I love your food reviews, you're so personable!! Melaney from SoCal
I'm so proud of the development of your channel 🎉 keep it up looking forward to seeing even more growth
A PEOPLE CAN BE JUDGED BASED ON HOW ADVANCED THEIR TRADITIONAL FOOD IS.
Refreshing to see an Indian buffet.
Looking for more videos in Jersey. I like your recent travel to Denver, hopefully you’ll travel to other parts of the US, such as California or even Florida or maybe the south like Georgia.
good review, love these buffets here in the UK also
I am from India, nice to see you eating indian food.
I remember! almost at 50k!!!! keep it up!
Thanks for your loyal support!
Wow I do remember you from a past video here. Oddly, I had a dream last night that I was at an Indian buffet, which I’ve never been, so maybe it’s a sign. Congrats on your channel’s growth.
You made to one yet?
Love your attitude and vibe
I was waiting for the 'Why don't we?' catchphrase. 😂😂 Thanks UA.
Love that you are in Jersey City... my hood. :). You have to explore Newark Avenue JC.
I’ve now decided to do Indian buffet this Saturday to break a 4 day fast.
Everything looks amazing
Everything looks excellent! It so happens I'm going out for Indian tonight on the UES, now I'm looking forward to it even more! With your love of buffets, come out by me in Queens and check out Mizumi. Excellent spot with a great selection! Thanks for another great review!
Great review keep it up 😊
Love Indian food. A buffet? Even better! 😋
Looks really good great value . Most decent Indian Restaurants prices alacarte prices have really shot up
Rasoi on that same block bangs. The chicken lolipops, chicken makhani, and the gobi manchurian specifically go super hard
Yeah you definitely need some merch with “Why don’t we?” on it.
Also in Alexandria, VA there is this place called Indochen that specializes in Indo Chinese food. It’s really good, a bit more high end than this place.
This video brings me back to your earlier TH-cam videos. 😂
Love reading your reviews. It definitely takes me out of my comfort zone! I usually am in a funk with my orders especially when it comes to Indian.... im definitely learning a lot from you! One of my favorite drinks...though... is something called Indian coffee. I forget the actual name but it was sold cold and I first had it at Tandoor Palace in the Poconos (Tannersville, PA) of PA. The reataurant is inside a train car, you have to go UA! ❤
Is it called filter coffee ?
@@nitinarya2816 Maybe! I think they said they served it with ice cream..? I'm not sure. It was sweet! And really good! Almost no acid.
Maybe it was just a cold coffee
Nice to watch your videos..Aloha
i like you tried to be honest !!!
Gajar Ka Halwa is my favorite Indian sweet and that looks like an excellent version. BTW if you're looking for an excellent prix fixe menu, I'd highly suggest the new Muna in Midtown. It's outstanding.
Spinach is saag I think
Saag is usually a pureed veg
Yes Spinach is a saag with a name called Palak, Palak Saag in Hindi to be precise. But there's a tons of different saag too. Saag is a general term.
Saag is a broader term....there are multiple kinds of saag including spinach....
the rust malai looks excellent!
Ras malai man
Dude Its Rasmalai 😭😂
😂 sorry dude I am wheezing
Does Tina not like being on camera? A video with both of you would be nice!
You thought the traffic was bad now? Imagine next week 😂😂
The sign says indian chinese n thai …😂😂😂
Yeah that is a red flag to me like no other. The noodles might be good, but they dont belong in indian kitchen.
@samuraidoggy indian chinese food are best. The Chinese community in india has made an unique combination of Chinese traditional food with Indian spices making a new classification sino-india food.
Amazing. Love goat curry. Not enough great Indian buffet in the Bay Area.
Love your channel UA !!
Leave him alone!!!! @@dntansrqs1341
@@dntansrqs1341 you calm down shrimp
The briyani rice looks yum yum yummyyyyy
Yes do more indian food
The writer of my curry book always recommended meat on the bone for flavor.I have always loved lamb so I imagine I'd like goat if I ever got to try it.
you have learnt how to eat Indian food..good one..
Yeah! Back in JC Little India. Gonna review that White Castle? 😁
Take the salads/ starters first...finish it and then move on to the main course. Take the roti and rice in one plate, take the curries in another plate...simple
Tsk tsk no hats at the table. Goat is my favourite
More buffet videos please 😊
I'm eating Indian right now while i watch. The spices are medicine. ❤
UA, love your videos. But the silent movie piano in the background's not workin' at all. I'm expecting Chaplin to jump out of that chapati. 😆
You should try Spice Symphony located in 2 locations in Midtown Manhattan
Rice with peas is called a rice pulao. And usually we start with the breads when they are still warm & have it with the meat curries. Then when the breads are over we then pour everything on the rice & finish it off. And never the breads with rice together.
hello ua eats, remember you are visiting from the west coast - on the east buffets in jersey are fun to eat - the korean buffets for lunch took from chinese buffet (they are never on the routes in jersey) but found inside those little train stations in new jersey up in bergen county - there are chinese, korean , and japanese buffets or food courts. elle for over rice for dozen
I was stationed in England and discovered Indian food. Over their I think it is more authentic than what you got. My favorite dish is Chicken Vindaloo, and if I remember you from the past that you did not like spicy hot dishes. I loved them and got Indian take away at least once a week. Vegtable Pilau (Probably spelled wrong) went well with Chicken Vindaloo. I tried the hottest dish over in England caledl Chicken Pol which I was able to eat, but only did it once. The fire was over the top. An appetizer I used to get was Onion Bozee(again probably spelled wrong, but got it most every time. Indian food satisfied my desire for Mexican food.
It's not "naan bread", it's just naan.
Shit, I always say naan bread, no joke. I'm stopping thank you. Again, not joking.
I say naan bread, and I’ll continue to say it that way👌
so it isn't bread? sure looks like bread to me.
@@chrismemphis8062 I guess the idea is you wouldn't say smoked meat on rye bread, you'd say smoked meat on rye.
I say Naan bread all the time. But I guess that is what the hoi polloi say…🤣
Welcome to India Square... (as White Castle is highlighted in the intro)..
All these Indian restaurants have a smoothie-type drink, called Mango Lassi. It's absolutely the best. Hope you get to try it sometime.
Mango+milk+yogurt and sugar.
Hy bro. I am your 50,4XX th subscriber from India.
I love Indian food. Tikki Marsala with some yummy rice
Disgusting
@@BeFunnyMakelove You don’t like Indian food?
Love Indian! Not a fan of buffets though. I prefer regular, order from the menu. If you are ever in Alexandria, VA try Spice Kraft. They do more of a modern fusion spin on Indian cuisine
I visit Alexandria sometimes. Thnx for the recommendation!
Yum.
I love Indian food. It would be nice to see you do some Thai Food or Vietnamese. Do you do Pho?
My favorite restaurant to go to
Can you design your own beanie and wear that instead of the Eagles? Fans would buy!
Go Eagles!!
great idea
I always spend a lot at Indian buffets because I end up drinking too many mango lassis. Mango lassis are like $5 buck a glass
I love Indian food! Won't touch goat or lamb though, but chicken? Bring it on! Thanks!
Hi UA, I love all your videos. I could eat the goat curry all day. In my country we eat a lot of curry goats. I don't like butter chicken. I find the sauce too thick.
When you use hand sanitizer, you must wash before eating. Just to inform you. Blessings. Love watching your face when you eat.😂😂😂😂😂
You are the best!!!!!! Such a shame you are allergic to seafood! Your reviews on seafood would be FANTASTIC!
I'm allergic to seafood too. Even the smell makes me wanna barf! 🤮 Gross! I don't blame him at all.
You’re the dude we can all relate to. No BS, no hype, your honest take. The Eagles cap is your trademark as well as “why don’t we?….” Can’t imagine watching your food reviews without your trademark hat and comment. Time to review Filipino food.
The Indo-Chinese cuisine is mostly due to the migrant population from Manchuria. They had to use many Indian spices and techniques to cook it hence it might have a different taste.
Im indian and take my suggestion for a buffet.
Take 2 plates. Put the rotis or naans and rice and noodles in one plate and the curries in another plate. Ask for a bowl for more liquidy gravies. Easier to eat.
Dont put all the different dishes on one plate. Have a few and once finished, take your plate and have the other dishes.
Thats what i do.
A little salad with Rarita sauce as you eat helps too
When I lived in London, the brick lane restauramts were close by. I was not a big fan of tika massala. I prefer the spicy, Vindalou and Madras dishes.
Hi UA, do you have any videos where you did not have any negative things to say? In your videos you're always very critical of every place. Have you been somewhere that you had no critique of?
He is quite literally a food critic.
WTF. Are you wanting reviews that are just positive. Lol
Moghul Express in Edison NJ is great and they do Indo-Chinese fusion. The chili garlic fried never disappoints. It’s on Oak Tree Rd in Edison, which is jam packed with Indian restaurants.
Mikey Chen loves the Balsamic Rice! Also becareful ladies, his “fam meet ups” are a forced date wink😅
Come to India for the authentic version
That food looks subpar
Videoing the food surprised they didn’t tell u to get out.
If youre in the New Jersey area, try Mama Theresa's
They had a section of Newark Ave changed to Mahatma Ghandi drive!
Ewwww that bastard. There are more deserving ppl like bhagat singh, Bose etc.
Please review Pastrami Bistro and Grill in Garfield NJ
A cross section of eateries is good.
Some cheap eats and some better places.
If I`m honest I`d prefer less emphasis on steak houses....but that`s because I love seafood, and I believe you are allergic??
Anyway, keep up the good work.
Was there for 2 yrs in NJ and had food in the Indian street but forgot the name of the restaurant. Seems this is the one but Patel cash n carry and the meat shop was visited once every week and the Bangladeshi fish shop in the narrow lane. I don't know if they still exist. Indian food there differs a lot that we get in India.
A suggestion: Instead of piling every available dish on the plate in one go, it would look and feel better (visually appealing) if one opts for multiple rounds to sample every dish on offer.
A place near me makes an aloo gobi that cant be matched
naan bread 🤡, chai tea 🤡, biriyani rice 🤡
Do more indian resturants.
Have you been to Jackson Heights? There's a Little India here too
Hey bro. Come to my store my treat to try our fried chicken !! In jersey city journal square
👋 from England ❤
Soo Glad you choose indian buffet, That way you can taste variety off different items. Hope you enjoyed it😊
Interesting u rarely see goat at Indian buffets
probably lamb, tastes the same
Dude you stuffed your place with many items exactly the way we Indians do in Marriage buffet, you know trying every item in one go with no latter regret of missing any.😀 Also finger involvement is must as a thumb rule while enjoying Indian cuisine.....
More variety Roti bread & try Indian fish curry, fry, banana leaf Fish
U said India so many times so I decided to follow you.
Lassi yogurt drink will tame the spiciness but it is kind of heavy. Some are just too spicy to eat much.
