   No staff - one guy doing everything including screaming to someone in the kitchen. VERY dark, horrible music. Food is not bad but ? ? ?

   This is our first visit to Sandalwood Indian Kitchen Restaurant, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Om, our server was excellent. He was attentive. polite, and personable. We ordered the garlic naan, and it tasted very good. Next, we had the samosas as an appetizer, and they were excellent. The samosa filling was perfect. For our appetizers, we ordered Butter Chicken and Shrimp Biryani. The Butter chicken had a deep, flavorful, rich, tasty, smooth, creamy sauce. The shrimp Biryani had a few large shrimp. The rice was cooked to perfection. There was basmati rice and saffron rice with the shrimp. Both portions were plentiful. The decor was pleasant. Sandalwood India Kitchen is located one block west of the Garden State Parkway on Route 47. We will be returning to Sandalwood Restaurant.

   I absolutely love Indian cuisine. I felt the food was very bland. Wasn’t happy at all.

   This was our 1st time at Sandlewood. The restaurant ambiance is very nice , has a modern feel and is very clean. We love Indian food and the food was excellent, the prices are reasonable and service was perfect! And a B.Y.O.B. ! There is a Canal’s liquor store across the street. We will be back!

   Appetizer, Samosas, were good, Dal Tadka and Rice, both tasted like cardboard, Chicken Tikka Marsala had flavor but not a good one. We’ve had very good Indian food at least once or twice a month over the last twenty years, so we know what it should taste like. So disappointing! Service was very good and the restaurant was nice enough, a bit dark and shadowy, as they only light the table lamps if the table is occupied.

   Wonderful! Thrilled to have delicious Indian cuisine close to home. Ambience is quietly elegant and service attentive and friendly. Eager to return.
