Located in Historic Downtown Freehold, Aarzu Modern Indian Bistro presents an exceptional upscale dining experience.
Modern Indian cuisine is making rapid strides. Today, it has moved beyond the realms of fusion gourmet. At Aarzu, we are taking the Indian cuisine out of the butter chicken and curry circle. The focus is on taste, texture and presentation. While the cooking method remains the same, our recipes involve diverse elements and unique food pairings with presentation being the focal point. After all, we do eat with our eyes first! Our innovative menu also brings to light the regional culinary diversity of India.
The décor, lighting, colors, art and even the serving platters in Aarzu are designed to complement the food to create the complete experience for the guest.

Great experience! We had the butter chicken as the main dish, with naan and a dip to start, plus chana masala as a side. Everything was delicious, though the chana masala had a bit of spice to it (just a heads-up!). The staff was super accommodating, especially when my partner mentioned their nut allergy—they went out of their way to prepare a custom dish not on the menu. Highly recommend this spot!

This place was amazing! It really exceeded my expectation. I was hoping the food was just as good as it showed on social media, but it was even better than that. The service was also very good! It felt like a very romantic dinner because the ambience was great as well. I cannot wait to be back. The hour and a half drive was worth it!

Excellent service as always. Sam the owner/manager(?) stays and visits every table to make sure everything is perfect. Our table had the lamb chops, malai shrimp, a goat dish and the trout fish curry. I’m vegan and I had the avocado mango bhel, achari bhindi. From all at the table, every dish was absolutely delicious. Presentation is nice. We have been there many times and last night was another good experience. Best Indian restaurant in NJ.

Very exquisite, food was unique and delicious, other than the wine and dessert platter dinner was fairly cheap for 4 small plates, food portions were reasonable and the food was not over seasoned, good food speaks for itself.
