Best Cosy Restaurants in Nutley

My husband and I enjoyed his birthday dinner Saturday night at Dhamaal. The restaurant was buzzing with lively chatter and guests looked relaxed and happy. We were warmly greeted by the lovely hostess, Prapti, and promptly seated although we were 15 minutes late. The manager immediately set us up with sparkling water and opened the bottle of red wine we brought with us. We were waiting for our waiter to take our order, but one of the very alert owners came over to check in and took our order. He was friendly and we enjoyed our interaction with him. We told him we enjoy spicy/hot foods and he brought us the Murg (chicken) Tikka on the house, which was oh soooo succulent and spicy, just the way we like it...so very thoughtful of him. We ordered and enjoyed the succulent, perfectly cooked Boom Boom shrimp, juicy Afgani lamb chops, delicious spicy Dhaba Gosht (goat with bone) curry and naan, all of which arrived together. Next time, we'll be sure to ask request the dishes be coursed so that we can savor each individually. I understand why all were brought together, as they're all entrees. We concluded our meal with the Gulab Jamoon churros; delicious ice cream; churros could have been crispier. We were there for over 2 hours and didn't feel rushed. We are definitely looking forward to returning very soon ... and since we had an enjoyable experience, will bring friends; perhaps, for my upcoming birthday. Loved the whole experience! Thank you Dhamaal team.

First visit. Nondescript facade hides a really pretty space inside. Nice looking bar area. The dining room is decorated with large photos by a local artist. Server was friendly and gave good recommendations. Food from beet salads, fish and scallops was excellent. Plan to visit again, especially for live Jazz.

Unquestionably the best pizza I've ever had in my 40 years of heavily Italian-cultural NYC Italian-American life, including many visits to Italy.

My husband and I decided to go for lunch instead of having dinner at Elia. Marcello was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. We had a delicious lunch around noon and truly enjoyed the pre fixe menu. Will definitely be coming for lunch again, as we truly enjoyed the quieter and relaxing atmosphere.

I went to this place on a date for my anniversary. This Italian restaurant was amazing from the awesome to the food and ambience. Definitely recommend as I have this place 5 stars and only the second place ever to give this score too, our waiter was a nice guy named Mario was an amazing waiter and even came out with a cake for our anniversary. Definitely recommend and worth it and the food amazing.
