    What a fantastic surprise, a delicious Indian restaurant in Englewood. We were there on a Monday, and they were not busy, but we were the only non-Indians in the restaurant, which is always a good sign. The food is a little nontraditional, and mixes some western ingredients into well-known dishes. There was even goat cheese sprinkled on top of a traditional cauliflower dish, but somehow it all worked and tasted fantastic. Definitely will go back, and highly recommend people in Bergen County to try this new gem

    A very authentic Indian experience, including noisy customers and diaper changing of a baby in plain site of other diners! As a new establishment i understand not wanting to upset customers but surely some semblance of control should be excercised!

    Hi Sam, We sincerely apologize for not meeting expectations. At Essence of Kesar we strive to provide best service and food. Unfortunately we ran into staff issues which compromised our standards that day. I would like to make things correct and host you again please email us.
