I've been here three times now and the first time wasn't nearly as good as my second. They have a groupon right now too which I bought for $9.60 and got $20 worth of food.
The food: The chicken tika masala isn't quite as creamy as others, but it was still very good. This time I had it there was spice in it, first time it was too mild and had less flavor. I really liked the sauce and the flavors this time!
The chicken vindaloo was mostly stewed tomatoes and oil with more spice and good flavor. It looked like the same sauce as the tika masala but no cream. It was also very good. But not my entree, just tried it.
The garlic Naan was so fresh and flavorful. We loved it both times!
The service was great, both waiters were very nice! We will be back! I highly recommend the garlic Naan!
First word that comes to mind is "eh". Not even a word.
Vegan friendly, but although we ordered vegan dishes, we were brought out the wrong food and it was lamb or chicken. Either way it was meat which is disgusting. Luckily I know enough about the cuisine that I knew what it was as soon as I looked at it.
When we got the correct food it was okay. Nothing to write home about. The aloo gobi matar had no matar……ok…. It was also very heavy on the tomato base.
Chana masala was pretty good. As were the samosas.
Won't be back. I'll head in to Jersey City for the good stuff.
I think I've found my new favorite spot for curry (lunch)!
The lunch buffet will only set you back $10, and they offer a wide variety of food for that awesome price. There's vegetable curry, chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, just to name a few, along with probably 5 or 6 other kinds. Naan is included. For dessert there is yummy rice pudding! The quality of the food was top notch all across the board, and needless to say I left stuffed.
Service was great, friendly, and our server constantly topped off our water glasses even though there was a high volume of customers at the time.
Plenty of parking is available in the back lot!
Krishna: a Hindu deity, worshipped across many traditions of Hinduism in a variety of different perspectives. I legit took that from Wikipedia. But, according to our waiter, he had loads of wives.
The business name may reflect a Hindu god, but the restaurant is bigger than the Taj Mahal and the menu longer than the Bible. Not sure why they have or need all that space considering we were one of three tables and two of six customers here on a Wednesday night. Oh well. At least the food was good.
We went here with a Living Social deal to spend $30. That pretty much covered two entrees and an order of garlic naan, which was delicious.
We went with the curry chicken ($13.99) and the lamb mugalai (rich onion and nuts gravy, $15.99). Both were very good and very filling. We asked for level 7/10 on the spice scale. That was more than enough, and I can handle spice.
The only reason I'm at 3 stars is because I couldn't overlook the hairs in my menu (yes, hairs, plural), nor could I understand why the service was so slow considering there were two of them and six of us total … in the whole restaurant. It's almost as if the waiters were taking turns making food deliveries while also waiting on the in-house customers. Perhaps they need to hire some of Krishna's wives to speed things up a bit.
BYOB.
Some co-workers and I were in the mood for Indian food and came across Krishna Indian Cuisine on website. Their food pictures looked really good, so we decided to give it a try. As you enter this spacious dining area, very few people were eating. We chose a table and dinned off of the buffet which included:
Rice
Tandoori Chicken
Schezwan Chicken
Paneer Tikki
Chicken Tikka Masala
Gajar Ka Halwa Desert…..etc.
However, I have mixed feelings because I am use to Indian food being spicy. Maybe it's just my taste buds liking spicy foods. I had a sample of everything on the buffet table, maybe an item or two had that spiciness I liked. I understand that everyone does not like their food to be spicy. This is why I have mixed feelings about this place. When ordering from the menu, you may have the choice of how spicy you want your food.
The service was very minimal even with few patrons…including us. So to say, my experience here for the first has left me with a big question mark on returning for a second time.
I came here for their lunch buffet and I have to honestly say I was truly disappointed. I love Indian food so when I go to a place that doesn't do it justice I walk out with the feeling of never wanting to return again. I don't know if it was that particular day that the food wasn't that good or that's just their baseline. I surely hope it is not the latter because it is sad to think that a place with so much potential doesn't deliver what they are more than capable of. Compared with other Indian lunch buffets that I've been to this place really doesn't have that much of a selection. What they had out looked really sad and dry. It didn't help that there were only two customers while I was there so I guess they didn't feel the need to put out their best product. I got a chicken masala that was very heavy on the cream and not enough flavor. A chicken tandoori that was under-cooked and an alu gobi that tasted…well I couldn't really describe it but it wasn't good. In addition their lack of dessert irked me in many ways. I mean a least have a gulab jamun or kheer to end the meal on a good note. Those two desserts are fairly common and I was once again disappointed that they didn't have it.
When this place opened up in Nutley I really had high hopes for it. During their grand opening week I saw a fair amount of people come by and gave them a try. For one reason or another I didn't have the chance to sample their offerings until my lunch buffet visit. The place is big and I could imagine holding a fairly good size party at this place but if their food doesn't impress what's the point of holding it there. Like I said I don't know what happened with the food that particular day but Krishna didn't do it for me. Perhaps another visit is warranted but for now I've certainly experienced better places.
This place has the BEST chicken tikka masala I've ever had in my life (I'm sorry mom!). The chicken chunks are so big and the gravy is perfectly sweet and creamy.
Do yourself a favor and get you some of this goodness as soon as possible!
