Ambience was good and really loved the food and the drinks!

This is probably the best Indian food I have had in Jersey City. The ambience of the restaurant is really nice and they have a small bar as well. The music playing literally made me feel I am back home. The spread is limited but the food is absolutely delicious. The service was nice and prompt. We decided to have all veg and started with Samosa chat for the appetizers and baingan (eggplant) bharta with breads for the entrees and Rasmalai for the desert. Prepandemic they used to have a lunch buffet but that has not started as yet. Loved it!

I’ve been to this place multiple times for their lunch buffet but this was my first time for dinner. Their vegetarian main courses are on point but the veg appetizers aren’t plenty to choose from. We tried the veg sampler platter and found it quite dry and unflavored. Their service is basically non-existent because our server hardly checked in to ask about the food and he charged us 18% gratuity on the check beforehand (strange!). We were a group of 3 and it wasn’t rush hour either so he shouldn’t have charged it upfront. Either way, I’d prefer their lunch spread better.

Flavorful lunch specials with solid options and reasonable portions. Its also nice that naan is included in the order. Fast service!

This pic tells you how the food was. We left almost everything in the container food came in. Food had no salt, no taste. Staff was rude. Breads were cold and appetizers were pathetic. Not anything close we have in India. And they have Indian chefs😂😂. Dont they taste their own food. Please if you want to have good Indian food go somewhere else.

I had their paneer shashlik and paneer biryani. Both tasted great and worth the price. The food is not overly spicy or oily. The service is good. They automatically add 18% gratuity even for 2 folks. We were almost about to tip them twice had we not noticed. Otherwise a decent place to have dinner

A delightful surprise in Jersey City! Tasty food, perfect portions, EXCELLENT service (thanks Shankar) and quite reasonably priced. Especially good were the Lasuni Gobi Manchurian and Paneer Shaslik apps and the Egg Curry entree. Order a bread basket for the table (we had chili garlic naan). Finish off with a little masala tea and pistachio kulfi. Yummy! Then stroll a block to the river and take some pics of the NYC skyline!.

Excellent food and great service!! Naans are so huge! Egg biriyani was spectacular! Gobi Manchurian was in classic oriental style. We really loved being there.

The food taste is good. But it seems like they do not take any effort. For example, the onions in masala papad were not chopped properly.Also, there is an a minimum gratuity of 18% even for a single person. Since they know that they are getting gratuity, the servers are extremely slow, non-responsive and rude.

Excellent food quality and very good service. Shagun is a very friendly guys. He served us. Prices are affordable and can’t wait to come again.

Decent indian food. Can improve on the quality and service.

Super dope. We had a small gathering of friends here. The service and food, literally have no complaint, was amazing.. Our friends recognized a Bollywood star privately having dinner in the corner. Made it a little more special.

This is our go-to Indian restaurant in Exchange Place. The food here tastes consistently good. My favorite is the Chettinad Chicken. Would recommend this place.

Used to be good. Has gotten quite worse in quality as well as service.

What a wonderful evening with great food and surprise dinner with Anupam kher Ji and Jugal Hansarj, its a perfect birthday celebration and memorable. I would like to thanks specially Tushar and Shankar for their hospitality and great service. The food was awesome specially the Hakka Noodles. Thank you so much Amiya for made my birthday day so special. I would like to recommend this place for food and service. Will visit this place again.

Its a good restaurant with a good collection of Indian food that tastes like it. Id love to visit it again when I come to the east coast.

Goat curry is the best!

Food was delicious here. Pictured is the Bombay Aloo with Rice. Service is very nice too and did not have any issues.This place is expensive for what you get when compared to other Indian places in the area, so I deducted a star.Also I’m not a fan of places that include a mandatory tip, instead of leaving that to customer to decide. The service happened to be great here, but it’s a bad practice.

Sad to be writing this review. We are long time fans of Amiya- the food, and the staff. However, tonight is the 3rd time our delivery service has been awful. The restaurant is just down the street and we have been waiting over 2 hours for our food (an hour later than was quoted)… what’s happening, Amiya? We know you are better than this

We have been ordering takeout during the pandemic but the naans never taste the way they should if not consumed right away. We finallly dined in today and loved it. Their Tandoori platter was good and so was the saag and murg makhani. And yes the naans tasted great fresh off the tandoor. Hope the buffet starts soon once things normalize. The old location had fantastic chaat and dosa options in their buffet.

Their service is great and very attentive! The servers here are very nice, Shan was a very nice and friendly server! I would 100% recommend going to Amiya, their food is incredibly good!

Ive ordered from this place several times and I must say that its quite a good restaurant. My comments are specific to the food. Ive ordered Chicken Xacuti, Tikka, Dal Panchratni, etc and Ive always been impressed. Its my go to Indian comfort food place in the area.

Wow, great food and service!Spicy butter chicken was awesome, and provided the most satisfying BM the next morning.

No taste in their food I got the lunch special it was cold and tasteless and if you get a lunch special you can’t eat inside overall not worth it nice place but the food sucks

Amazing dining experience! The food was delicious, and service impeccable. Our waiter, Sagun, was especially thoughtful, attentive, and even entertaining. Truly a 5 star experience!

Great Indian restaurant near exchange place !Diverse menu, good vibes... taste could be better.

Had called and specifically requested take cutlery and plates as we needed it for a picnic in the park. They missed sending it and when I called the lady over the phone suggested I go to dollar store to buy plastic silverware. Picnic ruined and unapologetic response. Have been eating there for 8 years first time such experience. Quality of food has also dipped, so now understand why rating has gone down recently.

TASTY! TASTY! TASTY! We took family visiting from out-of-town and everyone was thrilled! Shagun did a great job of guiding some of our novices through the menu, and we were able to sample a wide range of flavors in both meat and veg categories. Will definitely return and am holding out hope that delivery service may one day extend to JC Heights!

Top notch. This will be a new favourite. We tried the veg sampler, the lamb vindaloo, and the dal makhani. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. I just wish their rice portion was a bit bigger.

Our party went there for dinner. My friend ordered this beer from India (10,000 something). It was strong and full of beer flavor. We ordered appetizers see pictures, mango shrimp and something with yogurt sauce. Fir the main dish, we had butter chicken and five types of lentils Dal. The restaurant had great vibes. It would be a nice spot to either just get in for a quick bite real or go out on a date or even have a huge party.

Water was good 👍🏻 😊

Listen, the food here is delicious. The drinks 🍹 are so tasty and the service was amazing. We had a girls night out and we came for happy hour. Shagun served us 😊 Amazing prices and we enjoyed our stay. Can’t wait to come again.

Great place for nice Indian dinner. I visit there frequently. Also had a team event recently. Food & service was excellent. Thank you.

The malai kulfi with gulab jamun is the best combo ever

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. They don’t allow service dog even this behavior is not allowed by New Jersey law. So we took outdoor place, which they DONT CARE at all. No one comes or asks, and we have to ask them to order anything. Definitely don’t worth it. NOT recommending at all!

Shrimp curry - Really good and tasty.Fish amritsari - Ordinary. Do not order.Paneer Tikka appetizer (dont remember the dish name) - Not bad, but not great either.Chicken naan - I didnt like it, some people may. It was a bit dry for a stuffed naan. Id rather have a traditional naan.So in all, one star less for the food quality. Another star less for the really rude waitress.She was so busy that I was asking for the recommendations for the entre and she said are you done looking at the menu or not?.When I was ready to pay, I said Id like to pay now instead of when I pick up the food. I had my credit card out so she could see her. She says you can have a seat, Im really busy right now. When I said Im waiting so you could accept my payment, thats when she takes my credit card.

Amazing food with great quality for the price and amazing locations. Can’t wait to come here again. The paneer appetizer and soup was amazing.

Did the catering order with Amiya, and it turned out great, Food was amazing everybody loved it, Rana gave the accurate estimate for the food to order and it worked out well.Definitely recommend this place.

OMG is all I have to say! We absolutely LOVE Amiya. The food is consistently great and every new dish we have tried (as we expand beyond our typical order) has been amazing. The Sham Sarera I was blown away by! The prices look expensive when you look at the menu but you get A LOT of food and the quality and flavor is worth every penny! Cant wait to continue to explore the rest of the menu! We havent had a chance to dine in yet but we have loved ordering via takeout.

Great food always. One of best and consistent great Indian food in JC. I have dine in and got deliveries both. Never been a disappointment.Favorite dishesAmiya PaneerPaneer BiryaniVeg kababsChaiFried riceGarlic Naan

Decent Indian restaurant serving North Indian food with great ambienceFull Review:Amiya is one of the few Indian restaurants in the Exchange Place area. They have a fairly large North Indian focused vegetarian/vegan friendly menu with great ambience and decent service. The portion sizes were good and the pricing was reasonable. The restaurant aint too big and can involve waits if you go with a large group especially during the peak times, would recommend reserving a table before you arrive.I had recently visited them with a group of friends. The menu had good choice of vegetarian/vegan friendly dishes for each course. We tried a bunch of starters ... Subzi Ki Seekh was great, had good flavor and taste. Paneer Shashlik and Methi ki Paneer Tikka were OKish. For the mains we tried Kadai Paneer and Malai Kofta. Both dishes were decent and didnt stand out in flavor or taste. The Naans and Rotis we ordered with the mains were pretty fresh and tasted great. Overall found the food pretty decent and ordinary. I wish the dishes could have been made more flavourful.The place also seems to be pretty popular for their lunch buffet during weekdays among the office goers in the area. A few of my friends recommended this place for the buffet if in the area.Recommendations:Starter: Subzi Ki SeekhMains: Malai Kofta

Best Indian food I’ve ever had! The flavors!!

We love Amiya! The new location is very spacious and the seats are very comfy. And the food is so tasty! The menu is large but I often order the Goa chicken. Last night for the first time we ordered the gulab jamun and it was warm and sweet. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Happy hour here is a must! The $6 mojitos were amazing our server/bartender Shagun was amazing! Definitely worth checkin out. Out door seating is a plus!

Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic naan was great! But even better was the veg fried rice and veg Manchurian - excellent!

The food was very good and the poshions were good If you like good Indian food then this will hit the spot

The staff was accommodating, kind and served great food! Highly recommend this place for small gatherings and special occasions! Will be back again!

Food is good. Indo chinese here its a great option. It was very crowded and the wait was long though.

Delicious food and atmosphere. The portions are just right and I order from here all the time!

Sagun was the best waiter I’ve ever had!! Give him a raise

It was my first experience In Amiya Restaurant and this place was amazing. The staff was great Specially (SHAGUN and DANNIS) SHAGUN makes my day With Gauva Mojito and Margarita.drinks was absolutely amazing and very accommodating especially with the level of spice in our meals..I will be returning often.

Amiya never disappointed 😀 me whenever I ordered anything from them but today we ordered Chicken Tandoori and it was just out of this world, so tender, flavourful, juicy and what not. Chicken just melted in my mouth. Thank you so much Chef Girish for such a delight ❤️❤️❤️.

Abso amazing indian restaurant. Everything we got wad A+

Bad food and rude service. Overcharge for everything and 18% gratuity mandatory! Half cooked food and the naans seem frozen, avoid the place! Sagun named waiter doesn’t even any to get your food, avoid him!

Nice Indian restaurant in Jersey City. My wife and I had their vegetarian sampler appetizer which had variety of options including samosa, pakora and tikki. For entree we had their Sham Savera with parathas. Sham Savera was really tasty, rich in flavors. Dessert was their creamy and delicious Rasmalai.

Good buffet.. they didnt have any paneer dish for saturday lunch buffet.. when I mentioned to the manager he just got one alacarte for our table - on the house. A very good gesture. Very limited seating space. Call ahead for reservations.Restrooms were clean

Hi I love the place it the best food en grove but the wither ist so nice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Sagun

One of the best places we have been to for India food in Jersey city.Amazing customer service and staff, lovely delicious food and nice clean bathrooms.

Flavored food, gracious hostess especially Dennis! Enjoyed the lunch with my family!

Do not order from this place. Good food but customer service is pathetic. Delivery takes on average an hour over the stated time with no help from restaurant when you call. Delivery person threatens (had to report the incident). Let’s all make sure this restaurant closes down soon!

They took 30min to take an order and another 1hr for serving the food. We ordered Prawn biriyani, Manchurian, Naan basket and two curries. Even after this much wait time the Prawn was not cooked, Naan was burnt and the biriyani was horrible. Only the mutton curry was worth. Rest all were below par. Won’t recommend this place!

Great restaurant that serves authentic and freshly, quality preparation of Indian dishes. They are well flavored and spices are very nicely prepared to go with good quality meats and other ingredients.Have been going here for years and service is great and always an excellent meal. It is several steps above other typical Indian restaurants and very reasonably priced for what they deliver.My favorites are anything from tandoor grill, bhuna goat, chettinad, xacutti, Goa shrimp, but really all are great so try others that match your preference.

Really nice place . Service is great and very friendly !

We went there once while visiting JC, and the food, vibe and attention from the staff was so good that we had to come back the following week and order tons of food, just for the two of us lol. Dennis and Sagun were super friendly and extremely attentive with us, number one qualities of a waiter, top notch. The food prepared by chef Eric was delicious. My gf loved the drinks made by Dennis.P.S: I recommend the Taj Mahal beer.

Its was a pleasure to visit Amiya restaurant.. we are well severed by Dannies and shagun too.. they are the best severs ever I met.. thank u so much to you guys .. see urll soon.

Nice, cozy Indian food. Courteous staff. Nice location.Great options for lunch boxes (Check the picture ). You can customize based on your preference.If your office is around Harborside Financial Centre, enjoy the fresh and tasty boxes instead of spending at least 10 USD for a pre-cooked meal inside the Financial centre.

Great service, great traditional Indian food. Tasty and well priced. Never disappointed.

Very nice service shagun!!

Our first time in this restaurant food was amazing and service and quality of the food was excellentDennis and Sheldon our server really took care of us.Thank you we will be back for sure

Food was delicious n service too and the drink was made by danis was fabulous 👍

Amazing food, Great service. 👍Wonderful Hospitality.

Fantastic food and amazing cocktails. My husband and I went after they reopened from the pandemic restrictions and I am so glad we did. Delicious meat and veggie options. The service was great too!

Loved this place and loved the service. It was my birthday and the staff at Amiya gave me a complimentary dessert with a custom wish. On top the food is amazing and the ambience is classy as well. Must visit 👌

Good service. Nice ambience. Decent food

Food was good, service not so good. Little small and compact place. You can park in the parking lots on floors above the restaurant and get your ticket certified in the restaurant before leaving so that you dont have to pay, otherwise $11 per hour.

Loved the food!Overall it was a decent experience, they have really good food but as we didnt had reservation we got a crappy table with odd lighting. No complaints about service, they were warm, helpful and fast. We went on Friday night and were able to find free parking around the block with no trouble at all. Definitely recommend this place.

Delicious food, and Friendly staff!!

Amiya used to be good, but not anymore. .This is the first time I ever wrote a review ,you can imagine how frustrated I am. The food was all cold. No attention from waiters horrible customer service.This place needs serious management training.Will never recommend to anyone!!!

Love this place. Amazing service and romantic. Went with my girlfriend and delicious food.

Great food!! Great service.

My husband and I first time visited this Restaurant, and we were amazed. Firstly, our waiter Shan was informative and provide with outstanding service. Secondly, food was delicious with romantic atmosphere. Lastly, it is excellent choice if you want to try tradition Indian food.

Definitely recommend. I celebrate my wifes birthday and they maintain all the social distancing, staff is such a polite and helpful, great location around the corner from exchange place. Most importantly food is delicious we enjoyed our party. Thanks Amiya Team.

Came here for dinner and the food was delicious! Great service as well , will definitely come again.

They have degraded their quality of food so much. Have ordered lately thinking of the great taste it used to have, but highly disappointed every time since last 3-4 times. Will never order now.

We had ordered 2 veg platters 2 chicken biryani and 2 veg biryani. The food was very average and not at all worth the price. Please think twice before ordering.

Decent buffet for a quick lunch. But I must say, compare to mantra, I will pick mantra anytime. Mantra has more variety and their goat biryani and tendorri chicken taste better. This was my first time having dosa and I loved it.

Food was excellent and Tushar was very helpful! Thank you.

Decent buffet options and reasonably priced. It can get quite crowded at times and since it is family friendly, it can get quite loud with kids.

One of the best India restaurants in jersey city... beautiful location, delicious food and extremely friendly staff. Definitely recommend

Nice place for some Indian food..good ambience too. Service was ok too.Food is ok, nothing to boast of tho. We tried the veg sampler...was quite a portion size. Chutneys were authentic and especially nice. The main course we had pudina paratha(could barely taste the pudina) and garlic naan (was really good n soft) along with kashmiri dum aloo (had 3pcs of potato in an orangish gravy..a bit sweetish after taste) and paneer burji (crumbled paneer with lots of onion n tomatoes...would have preferred the tomatoes to be cooked well!)Price - all of the above came to about $67. Apetizer Veg sampler was $10, but most of them were $7-$9.Main course were mostly $14-$20 while breads were $3.50 - $4.50All in all its a good place...could be better tho.

Shan is absolutely phenomenal. The food is astounding but really, it’s the service that brings everything over the top. I feel like a part of their family. Fast service, clean, great food, and they’re all also jokesters. If you’re like my mother and did the, “so what do you like?” Or “what’s the best here?” Instead of the typical server response they actually go into detail on what you might like (though as a server in my youth, can we please stop doing that collectively? I barely ate at the slave jobs because a meal is equivalent to a few tables an hours of your time). You can tell they love this place as much as you will. No shame Momma, I love you. Anyhoo! Place is great. Soft lighting, heavy pours and the music is relaxing. Great place to go on a date, break or networking event with colleagues. Also, the menu is enormous and I have yet to try everything but I’d be surprised if there was one thing on there that wasn’t delicious.

Great place with great food, good music and vibe..!!!

The food was delicious! It was my first time at an Indian restaurant and the server went above and beyond, took time to explain the menu, made sure we were okay with the spices, absolutely amazing service, cannot wait to go back again!

Our go-to Indian food take out. I love their gulab jamun and their bagare baigan (baby eggplant curry)

Very good n decent place for indian food n at a very good location at that too at decent prices.

Excellent food , great quality taste and ambience. Loved the Methi malai matar and gobi manchurian. Will surely visit again. Keep up the great work chef !!

Our favorite Indian restaurant in Jersey City. Some of the highlights: Chicken Tikka Masala, Shaam Savera, garlic naan.

My husband and I love Indian food and this place does not disappoint. its one of our favorite places. Everything on the menu is incredibly delicious and flavorful. We learned to order the food mild. The first time we ordered all our food spicy. OMG, the food was soooooo spicy. I dont even remember how much water we went through. Why we didnt order just one dish medium and the rest mild our first time is beyond me. That would have been a nice balance. Live and learn I guess. haha We learned afterward that even some of our friends who are Indian said her husband cant handle the medium. haha Anyway, if you are in the mood for delicious Indian food, this is the place to go!

Wonderful service & excellent food!

Dennis and Sheldon are just amazing hosts .
