Ashirwad Palace

We utilized Aashirwad Palace for catering for my dad’s surprise birthday party. We dealt with Sam from beginning to start. Everyone was professional. The food was absolutely delicious! We had a vegetarian cuisine and desserts as well as live stations. I am very picky with food but this food is as good as it gets! They were great with working with our venue of choice! I would recommend them in a heartbeat and will certainly be using them again.

I’m not sure I can do this place justice without being allowed to give it ten stars. I called to try a new curry. The young man who answered the phone was totally cool… helpful as could be.
He explained the different levels of spice, helped me pick it out and it was outstanding. The food was perfectly cooked, seasoned and packaged for my to-​go order and the service was great, even though they were very busy preparing for what looked like a major event. BTW, the place is beautiful inside.
Can’t say enough good things about the place. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

We ordered take out for 37 ppl n not only was the food amazing (n I have critical/​picky eaters in my family) but they gave us plenty of food n a great package deal which included 3 entrees rice nan an appetizer dessert onions n tomato salad n raita. It was more delicious n cheaper than the surrounding restaurants in the area. We ordered manchurian Methi mutter malai n dal n paneer mukani.

I have been here about three times, every time to pick up my take out order. I hate the interior layout of this place. It’s basically a big open hall with a few tables and chairs illuminated by dingy red lighting. The bar on one side combined with the dim lighting gives you the impression that this place is trying to be a bar and a dine-​in place at the same time. Nothing wrong with that except the poor execution.
The food however makes up for the lack of ambiance. I wouldn’t say it tastes great but good enough to not disappoint you. Take out orders can take a while, even when this place isn’t crowded. So give yourself about 20 – 25 minutes after placing the order.

I had my wedding at Aashirwad Palace recently. When I first met Sam and his family, I fell in love with the way they did business and the palace for that fact. Since then we kept in touch via e-​mail and worked out details until the day of. The day of the wedding and days after, everyone kept coming up to me and my family and said how great the food was and how nice the palace was. At the food tasting prior to the wedding, we were very impressed with the taste and texture of all the items. That being said, we did notice some slight changes in taste and texture at the event but it was still absolutely delicious. For example, the vegetable manchurian tastes better fresh because the longer it sits in the sauce, the softer they become but this is the case with most food that is served buffet style but the flavor was spot on! The presentation was also amazing. All the food came out on time. So keep this in mind when creating your menu. Everything came together so perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you so much to Sam and his family. We will definitely be back :)
If you’re going to have a wedding here, consider using Kalash Decorators. We found them to be extremely affordable and they did an amazing job with the decorations. We shopped around extensively and found Kalash to be the best one to meet our needs. The dishes that received the most compliments were the chicken curry, fish curry, goat curry, palak kofta, the presentation of the fruit platter, rasmalai, gulab jamun, mung halwa (this is their specialty and hard to find anywhere else), kati roll, mexican pizza (great for kids and western guests), chicken tawa was also delicious and presented very nicely. Sam was an excellent bartender and the value, taste, and quality of bar services were exceptional. They also make signature cocktails for the bride and groom and everyone is still telling us how good the mango coconut mojitos were!
During the entire day, Sam managed the event, and it felt like we paid for the venue and food but got a free wedding planner as well. He also checked on the bride and groom throughout the day. While everyone else was taking pictures and enjoying their food, he was coming up to make sure we were okay and bring us drinks without even asking. He even packed up the leftovers so we could have an afterparty and the food wouldn’t go to waste. These services are unparalleled and unheard of in more traditional venues such as commercial hotels and banquet halls.
We also had dinner catered the night before the wedding by their sister restaurant, Rajni, and people couldn’t stop praising the food as well.
There are actually a large number of beautiful photo ops on the premises, we got some great pictures inside and outside and were constantly impressed with the landscaping and upkeep of the palace.

Attended a baby shower on the first floor. Owners are really nice, they let us use the bathrooms to change clothes ahead of time. The outlets in the bathroom did not work, so they found an extension cord for us. We needed melted chocolate for one of our baby shower games, they melted the chocolate for us– 8 pieces all on separate plates. Food is great, sound system is great. All waiters and staff were polite and very helpful.

Very nice atmosphere, most authentic fresh Indian cuisine I’ve had in years. Lamb Rogan Josh is best I’ve ever had…

The food is good. My favorite is the veg manchurian-it’s the best I’ve tasted! The hall upstairs is very nice And elegant for parties. I do have to say the drinks are mediocre and watered down

I had my engagement party celebrated at Ashirwad and the place the food and the ambience of the place indeed made it a memorable one. To start with Sam, the owner of the place himself gives the overall impression of the place since he is very friendly, approachable, professional and above all runs the whole place like a passion rather than a business transaction and that definitely made the difference in our decision to select Ashirwad as our venue.
The overall service during the event was impeccable. And like any other event since it’s the food that makes it memorable, needless to say this wasn’t any different :) And to prove that apart from what a blast our night was we got very rave reviews for the menu.
Honestly I can go on and on but I would like others to know it for themselves to have their events take place at Ashirward, I know I will for my future events :)

Ambiance was good, food was average, serving was damn slow. May be good for group parties. overall I would say not a great place in place like NJ…

I reserve 5 Stars for extraordinary service, food and ambiance. Ashirwad Palace has it all. From the outside of the place it doesn’t have the look of a restaurant. Brick exterior. 2 floors…
The top floor can be rented out for parties. The main level as well but it’s more of a restaurant/​martini bar… seriously…a martini bar. With hookah (which I didn’t try).
It wasn’t overly busy on a Sunday night. There was a small party near the bar having a grand olé time. On a couple of TV’s they had Indian movies playing and in the faint background low playing Indian music. So it was very relaxing. We were seated by the owner. Very nice guy. Since I am no expert on Indian food my gf needed to order for me (she’s not Indian but raved about this place).
What we ordered:
DRINKS: Flirtini for her… sweet, feminine but kick a$$. JD appletini (name escapes me) for me… strong with a good kick.
MEAL: Naan for both of us– Garlic style… ree-​dick-​you-​luss!!! It was like pizza dough but with Indian flare.
Lamb Rogan Josh for her. I don’t like lamb, tried it, not my thang but she loved it…
Veggie Korma which we split because we are gluttonous. Very, very good. A good compliment to a meat dish.
Bengali Chicken for me. Wow-​zer! This was spectacular. The chicken was fall off the bone quality and the sauce it was cooked in made it so flavorful with a spicy kick. Oh my not only the best Indian dish I have had but up there on best chicken dishes ever.
What added to the laid back atmosphere was the owner would stop by, chat it up, share a laugh and make sure all was going well.
There was not one item I would improve on about Ashirwad Palace. It’s hip, romantic and fun all in one! ENJOY!

I remember this place when it was the «Dew Drop INN», during the days of Disco. However it seems to have evolved as years went by, since entertainment was limited in the Victory Gardens area. Dover was always the big town, with many Hispanic eatery’s. This however is a very pleasant evolution. The Chefs really have a great handle on Indian Asian food. The host make you feel very comfortable, even as a first timer you will find it hard to leave the atmosphere or food. Go there if you have a desire for the far east.

Excellent Indian Food! Do yourself a favor and go here. They are running a promotion until the end of December for 10% of take out orders. We ordered a chicken tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, nan and roti. The person I spoke to on the phone and picked up the order with were great. I’ve been looking for a Indian spot for awhile and am happy I found this spot. Will go back soon!

Our first time at this place, though I have driven past for a while and never known what it was. It appears to have a bit of an identity crisis, whereby it can’t decide if it’s a restaurant, club or catering hall.
BUT…
By far the best indian food within 30 miles. We have had a few places which have come and gone, hopefully this one is here to stay. The food was excellent (Loved the Tikka Masala), they had a full bar (rare for indian food) and were attentive.
We’ll be back soon.

I recently went here and all I can say that it was an amazing experience. The restaurant/​lounge looks phenomenal and the service is amazing. I went there on a Friday night for dinner and the food was great. The variety of dishes and fusion of Indian and Chinese was something that no other restaurant can offer. As the night moved on, the crowd filled up and the restaurant converted into a lounge. The music was great and my group had a great time. One suggestion for drinks I can make is that the Martini’s are made exceptionally well, and can not be compared to any local lounge. We plan on returning, and have recommended it to all of our friends!
