I’ve been to a lot of Indian restaurants all over the place, but the food at this place was unreal! Everything was supppperrr good!! We ordered Mutton soup, fish 65, Kudal varuval, Natu kozhi varuval, Chetinad shrimp curry, Garlic naan, Egg Dosa, and Chicken Fried rice. My favorite was the fish, chicken fried rich, and the mutton soup!! The staff was also very nice and accommodating!! We had a very long drive but it was definitely worth the drive!! Highly recommended this place!

Amazing Dine-In experience, I felt like being back to my home bound! I would strongly recommend to try their Biryani! The Taste, Quantity and Quality everything is spot on! If you’re a sea food fan, you will fall in love with their - Pomfret Fish Fry, Milagu Eral Varuval and Crab masala!

Ambur Biryani is a flavorful delight, and pairing it with Chicken 65 creates the perfect combination. The addition of Badam Milk enhances the meal with its rich, authentic flavors. If you’re feeling nostalgic for home, this spot is a must-visit for a comforting and satisfying experience.

Masala cafe has the authentic dindigul biryani and many other authentic Tamil dishes from fish curry to Kothu Parotta. A variety of desserts including rose milk which is yummy.

Masala Cafe in Jersey City offers an authentic South Indian dining experience that transports you straight to the vibrant streets of Chennai. From the moment you step inside, the decor, infused with a touch of traditional and modern Chennai aesthetics, sets a warm and nostalgic atmosphere. The menu features a delightful array of classic South Indian dishes, with a focus on rich, aromatic flavors. The dosas are crisp and perfectly complemented by a trio of chutneys that burst with freshness. Their biryanis are aromatic and packed with just the right amount of spices, reminiscent of Chennai’s beloved street food stalls. Don’t miss the traditional filter coffee, which is served steaming hot and embodies the true essence of South India. Chicken Kothu Parota be my personal favourite The staff are friendly and attentive, adding to the overall pleasant experience. Masala Cafe is more than just a meal; it’s a flavorful journey back to Chennai. For anyone missing home or wanting a genuine taste of South India, this restaurant is a must-visit in Jersey City!
