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.

    Food, was well presented and service was excellent. Room was a little loud because of the background music. Too throbbing. Made me want to leave. I will return to try other menu items

    Great food and ambience. Staff was courteous and helpful. Service was good with orders not taking more than 5-10 mins depending on what was ordered. Thank you for a lovely time!

    The starter portion sizes should be increased. There were 6 -7 small boneless pieces in a tandoori chicken starter, which was too less for the prices. The taste was very good though and everything else was perfect.

    Really enjoyed the modern take on the cuisine at Aaruz. The flavors were so rich and the service was top notch. It's a nicely appointed space with a modern and intimate feel. I am sure we will be back.
