It is no secret that I love Indian food and we sometimes venture to Newark Avenue in Jersey City for lunch or dinner, in some of the amazing Indian restaurants that are there. One of them is Masala Cafe. This place has an extensive menu with a wide range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. We went there one Saturday evening for dinner and tried the following:

For appetizer, we had samosa that were crispy and not spicy:

We then shared some dhal and some paneer tikka masala, two vegetarian dishes that were really good, especially the latter one that was very creamy and that I had with a bit of rice, but mainly with their butter naan that was deliciously charred.

For drinks, I always go for a mango lassi and Jodi had a lemonade.

Last was dessert, and we went for our favorite one, gulab jamun, that we accompanied with a chai that was unfortunately too milky, maybe because we asked for mild food and they did not want to serve us a tea that would be too spicy for us.

Overall, the meal was delicious and we decided to go back another time to Masala Cafe to try some other dishes…

Enjoy (I did)!
