Sapthagiri Taste Of India

The first time I went to Sapthagiri was in 2015 when I moved to Jersey City. My friends helped me move in, and I offered to treat everyone for lunch. We went, and the food was fantastic, and the service was attentive and friendly. Also, the portions are MASSIVE. If you go, make sure you're good and hungry, because the staff will make sure that you get plenty of great tasting food!

Their rava masala dosa is excellent. Super crispy on the outside, and lacy and delicate. Strong enough to pick up the potato filling or coconut chatni. Another great choice is the veg uttapam. Thick and hearty, but still super crispy on the outside, and not just the edges! Also, when you order a dosa, they bring out not only the sambhar and coconut chatni, they also bring out a trio of other chatnis: peanut, tomato, and ginger. All three are varying levels of spicy, and are very tasty to complement your meal.

Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, and if you ask the server to make sure that everything is vegan, they will let the kitchen know. Also, the wait staff all know the menu very well. If you ask questions about a particular item, they'll know what's in the dish, so if you dislike a certain thing (like bell pepper or cilantro), they'll tell you that "_____ has that ingredient. If you want to avoid it, I'd suggest getting _____."

I always go there with friends who haven't tried South Indian food yet, because I feel like it's a good solid introduction to the cuisine!

Food itself was okay, and that's why 2 stars. But the service was horrible. They take 45 mins for a simple order of idli and dosas. Again that would have been fine, if they had told us that. But they said 10 mins when we first placed the order. They didn't even give us what we ordered for, but after 45 mins there wasn't much energy left to wait more for them to correct it.  There is lot of Indian restaurants in this area and I would not be visiting them again!

Good choice of South Indian tiffin items. The chutney and sambar portions were very generous. The sambar had big chunks of vegetables in it which included drumstick. Will order from here again.

Attitude is something we as customers take it for granted. When it is served right, we don't realize and only when a business shows the other side to us, we realize it actually exists.

It was almost before close of business hours, we placed an order through Grubhub and called Sapthagiri to confirm if they will be able to fulfill the the order and they confirmed they would. We started waiting from 9.45 till 10.25 without a complaint. Then we started doing the waiting game and calling them multiple times, that the driver hadn't arrived. It was not until 11.10 that the driver finally showed up.

We ordered the North Indian Thali and to our complete disappointment most of the rice had spilled inside the paper bag, due to a broken styrofoam box. We called the restaurant to complain and instead of apologizing, the first thing he said was 'Let me talk to the driver and get back'. He called back and said that the driver told him there was no rice spilled in the car. He clearly didn't care that there was an unsatisfied customer on the other side, but have his hands clean.

We indicated him that there's difference between rice spilled inside the bag and outside of it and there was no necessity for him to validate with the Grubhub driver about a starving customer, at wee hours. We had to send him the picture on how supremely the food was packed and sent and how it ruined a dinner at 11 in the night. It's more than 2 weeks and we are still waiting for Sapthagiri to get back to us, after their 'We'll check and get back to you on this'. Good luck with your astounding customer service!

Amazing price for this chaat buffet on wednesday night, 12.99$
It has bhelpuri, paani-puri, pav bhaji, pakora, biryani, idli sambhar and halwa. Special mention to the guy who makes dosas and uttapam and delivers them to your table- RaMANDEEP. He is very courteous and makes yummy dishes.
I wish they include chai in their buffet. Try to get their early. It gets really busy around 8 pm

Even though Journal Square has a plethora of Indian restaurants to choose from, Sapthagiri is always a solid choice. I've ordered delivery from here multiple times and also eaten at the restaurant. Both experiences have been pleasant. Their dosas are really tasty and crispy and come with delicious sambar. If you're dining in the restaurant, I would highly recommend ending your meal with south Indian filter coffee. It's so good! The restaurant itself is quite basic but the service is decent. If you're looking for a satisfying south Indian meal, this is a great pick.

I like that they have both South and North Indian options. Since I don't usually see South Indian cuisine, it's great to be able to try it out. I've only ordered delivery from here so far, from their direct website, but unfortunately delivery always takes 1hr+.

Eeehhh Sapthagiri is okay, but for me, there are much better places to eat in the area.
The food is all vegetarian (not vegan) and there's no BYOB or bar here. The room is basic and the service is okay. I've eaten here a couple of times and apart from the Dosa nothing really sticks in my mind.
The lunchtime buffet is good value and the price includes a Dosa per person. However, when we went there this wasn't explained to us and I had to ask about the Dosas which the waiter said we would get after we had eaten from the buffet.
All the plates and drinking vessels are made of metal here which is okay but I don't like the metallic taste the cups lend to the water. They do have a small outdoor eating area in the summer which is nice though.

Based in New Jersey!! This place is one of the most famous food for pure veg food in NJ. So I always wanted to try Dosa and Idly, finally I got in this restaurant. It was super good and tasty like "WOT WOT". This place is known as a South Indian street food which is extra bonus for everyone. And big plus is that, location is in fabulous shape, it's all about Indian food like more than 50 restaurants in a row. Whoever want to try Dosa in NJ I would recommend this place. Trust me you won't be disappoint 0_@

Authentic tasting South Indian food that tasted like home. I ordered the South Indian Thali and it came with 5 curries, all of which were delicious. The rasam and the okra were particularly awesome. The only item that I thought could have been a bit better was the payasam, which was a bit liquidy but still delicious!
