Delicious Veg Masala sandwich! Three layers of white bread, panini style pressed, with delicious goodness in the middle! 4 stars for that!
We also had the mango lassi! Yum!
I wasn't too impressed by the other 2 dishes we got: Omelet Pulav and the tomato fry. While they were both tasty, they were pretty oily.
The service was friendly and we'd definitely go back! Definitely for more sandwiches and we do want to try other things on the menu like the infamous volcano biryani! 🙂
Overall, fun, laid-back, and different kind of place to have in the neighborhood! Oh, they also had a movie playing in the background. At certain points, I felt like I was in a movie theater! Haha, I'm talking about experiencing surround sound, folks!
A small place amidst a series of Indian restaurants in Journal Square, Egg-O-Mania packs lot of punch. A great place for egg fanatics, they serve a variety of egg dishes. We tried their paneer Bhurji and volcano Biryani. Yes, they were delicious, but not to forget, quite high on calories too!
I take it back! I'm obsessed. It turns out you can ask them for more butter or less! So I just order food with less butter and mild spice, and it's perfection. The volcano biriyani is still EVERYTHING and the rajwadi coco is still CRACK.
We ordered the goti fry and the volcano biriyani. The flavors were bold. I really appreciate that they don't shy away from using a lot of spice, and that they don't cheapen it by using a ton of salt.
The goti fry comes with three slices of white bread. You have to order roti separately. The slices of egg make it deceptively hearty.
The volcano biriyani is tasty, but really heavy. Combined with the goti fry, it was all a bit much. Between the two of us, we could only eat half of it.
The lassi was too sweet but it was a necessary order to temper down the spice. The flavors of the food was good, but leaning too hard on the spicy side.
I would recommend getting something light if you also want something heavy. We definitely could have curated the meal better.
This is such a great establishment in an area where everyone is basically copying each other to do the same thing (North Indian Food or a Vegetarian Dosa Spot). I applaud these owners for thinking out of the box and really executing it to perfections. I've dined here a couple times and have always enjoyed my meal. It's quite amazing to see the varieties of egg dishes that they have based on the various cultures/regions in India. My Usual order is the gravy omelette that comes with yummy cheese instead and coated with a light yet flavorful gravy. It makes for a great "Get your hands dirty" kinda meal with the side of toasted bread. I've also tried their play on devilled eggs and also the chicken club sw.
Eggomania is the most unique Indian food joint I've been to outside of India. The owner has travelled all over India to cultivate the best Indian egg based dishes & curries. He brings them back to jersey and makes his patrons happy! Most of the items have eggs, some sort of spice, a gravy of some kind, and lots of deliciousness. Almost all dishes are served with toasted soft white bread. If you want rice to soak up more of the curry broth from your dishes, get the jeera rice. I have had (I'm probably gonna spell all of this wrong):
Shruti gotala – shredded egg whites with a broth / sauce of tomatoes, onions, chilis, etc. DELICIOUS.
Tikka Boil – tasted like amazing chicken curry without the chicken, and with pieces of egg whites that have been soaked in the tikka sauce. Medium spicy – and smells / tastes like the stuff dreams are made of.
Lasson fry – sunny side up egg with a garlic curry sauce. Super garlicky and super yummy. The eggs are sort of poached and become runny when you cut into the yolk. The result – amazing tastes.
Raju fry – poached egg triangles with onion, tomato, and garlic, coriander, and chili. Simple & oily & delicious. Bit of a chaat masala flavor. The raw onions are a good deal crunchy which is a good off set vs the creamier dishes.
I can't wait to go back and try more. If you get there and feel a little lost, just ask the servers. The staff is fantastic and has never led us down a wrong path.
Basically, go here hungry. And eat well! Everything I've tried absolutely blew me away.
Just an FYI – not a fancy spot. Think trays, plastic plates, etc. Sort of part of the charm. Smells great inside – the kitchen is open and sounds / smells great. It's also BYO!
So so so delicious! I tried the egg masala sandwich and the veggie masala sandwich. The egg sandwich was amazing! I like the fact that they make their sandwiches with 3 slices of bread. The egg masala mixture had the perfect amount of spices and the veggies in the top layer were perfectly cooked. The veggie masala sandwich was great too!
I can't wait to try their other dishes, definitely coming back soon.
I want to start by saying that the food here is hella greasy and dripping oil/butter. I thought I was going to have a heart attack after eating a few bites if oil laden paneer bhurji. Also, what i found very cheap is that they give 3 peices of bread with entree, what the heck!!! Can they afford to give paav?? That just threw me off. Not a fan of these overly unhealthy cheap food joint.
