Reviews for Lal Hut in Iselin, NJ
Best place to have fresh Mughlai food in Oak Tree Road. Ordered numerous times and never disappointed. Try Jersey Charsi... Ckicken, Chapli, Shami and Behari Kabab. Read more
The food is of exceptionally high quality. The mixed platter is a medley of meats, cooked to perfection. Moist, spiced well, and... de-lish! The nehari was an 7.4/10. Very tasty and would have preferred the sides like ginger, green pepper, lemon, chaat masala.Taste was really good. My kids also loved it. The Kashmiri naan is also a great addition. Its presented in a way that makes iteasy to break off pieces from the long naan. Freshly made The stand-out star dish is their saag dish. It ranks among the bestsaag dishes I've ever had. Just amazing quality. Thanks for an excellent experience :) Best wishes for continued success Read more
Ordered Chicken Karachi, Mutton Karahi, two kinds of chapli kebabs along with their naans for a house dinner event. Guests... enjoyed food so I?m pleased to say the long drive was well worth the visit! Read more
EDIT: NOTE: The First few Pictures (Green Chairs) are from "Bombay Paratha" which nearby in Monat Plaza (Desi Galaxy complex).... The last five are from "Lal Hut". This is a Google Photos Mistake. Ordered a $ 9.99 small 'Goat Biryani' and asked gentleman atcounter I will pay for some extra Goat. He said why not get the $ 14.99 medium, which I declined because of it would be too muchquantity for my need for that day. When I got home, it turned out to be a pulao with exactly 1 good 'Goat piece' and the rest ofit were bones - which went to garbage. If in this area, I would recommend 'Shalimar' or 'Desi Galaxy' - they are generous withtheir offerings and you will surely get VALUE for what you pay. Very disappointed. EDIT (from 08/03 visit): I wanted to giveLal Hut a second try, because I had a guilt that I had written a harsh (and possibly unfair) review. I spoke to Hassan, theyoung manager and expressed my grief over the incident mentioned above. Not only did he listen to me, but also offered a freereplacement (which I did not take). He explained cooks/chefs too are humans and subject to mistakes. I agreed (I too have my baddays) and ordered the same Goat Pulao. I am changing my review from one star to five star, because this time, they took care ofme and the offering was excellent in taste and value. I also got a chance to speak to Musharraf, owners brother and requestedthey have a brighter light outside/someone to ensure no one is hurt while crossing the road, especially during their busy nights- Fri - Sun (I live on the same street and have seen people park and cross without regard - not the store's fault. Once again,thank you Lal Hut and management for doing the right thing. My best wishes to much success to your restaurant. Read more
Wow. This place is incredible. I've tried so many restaurants in Iselin and have to say hands down this is the best tasting... authentic Pakistani food around. I ordered several dishes and not one was anything but exceptional. They even gave me a freedessert for placing such a large order. This place is off the beaten path but worth looking for. Has a small seating area aswell and looks very clean. The staff was also friendly and the owner even thanked me for stopping by. This is now my newfavorite spot and will be coming here regularly. My favorite dish was the Chicken Karahi but they're all so good. Read more
A free salad was provided which was delicious. The peshawari garlic naan was also delicious. The regular naans were good too .... They were light and crispy. The goat karahi was good too. The goat karahi could have been a bit more cooked to give a deeperflavor but nonetheless it was tasty. The kashmiri chai was very bitter and I did not enjoy it. The restaurant offered anothercup to replace that one but the second one was bitter too. The service was very good. The place itself is a small room but whatI loved most about this place is that unlike most desi restaurants, they were considerate enough to not have disposable cutleryand plates. Read more
Had heard a lot of good things about the place, but was disappointed. The food was just ok, but the service was unbelievably... bad. We had ordered the food over the phone and then got to the place after 30 mins, but it still took another 45 minutes forthe food to get to us. The excuse was that there were a lot of take away orders, but still how could you have people whoordered-in wait in the restaurant. Anyways, don't think I am going back there again. Read more
I recently purchased $200/- worth of food ( Kababs, naan, butter chicken seekh kababs & chapli kababs). Extremely disappointed... with the quality of food. Naan was excellent. But the rest were full of hot peppers and million coriander seeds. Chilies are extremely unhealthy. Most people don't understand that it damages the stomach lining. We should enjoy eating food rather thankeeping sweets or cold water next to you after eating each morsel. This is my humble request to the management to please reducethe spices, especially chilies Read more
