3 reviews for Crown of India
Agreeing with the previous reviewer. I lived in Plainsboro twice, totalling about 6 years, and this was an often visited restaurant. The mixed platter was a favorite, although we'd usually take the meat that was only OK and add it to the sauce of the fantastic chicken makhni. Samosas are really good, and always finish with their gulab jamun.
Staff is really nice, decor is fine, and the buffet - although I haven't been in years - was always pretty busy during the week. Considering the ethnic makeup of Plainsboro, this is a great Indian restaurant to have locally, but people may not think of going to it because of it's strip-mall location. I definitely say give it a try if you're in the area!
I'm very loyal to this restaurant because I've been coming here for almost a decade!!!! For a while it was almost like our second kitchen. So, I love it. Having said that, I must add that recently the food is not always consistent and sometimes it is hit-or-miss. I personally prefer the a-la-carte dinner or to order take-out to their buffet lunch. The service is always good and friendly. The decor is very tacky but I don't mind, because the food is usually very tasty and the prices reasonable (especially the buffet which is worth a try).
I've been eating here(well, mostly taking out) for probably about 10 years, and it's been consistently terrific!...I tend to order the aloo papri chaat(potatoes, chickpeas, and crispies in a tangy raita[yogurt] sauce)...also, the samosas are perfection embodied--a little greasy, but crispy and well done on the outside, and full of potatoes, anise, and curry--delicious when dipped in the red and green chutneys!
Recently, I've discovered the coconut soup(amazing on a Winter's day!)...it's sweet and warm...just incredible!
also--don't miss the buffet--11-3 and $8 for all you can eat...there're samosas, aloo papri chaat, a variety of chicken dishes, fragrant basmati rice, and my favorite dessert--gulab jamun(dough balls soaked in milk and syrup and served warm)...very rich and soft...
the atmosphere is intimate and beautiful, and the service has always been friendly--definitely one of my favorite eateries!
