sapthagiri taste of india

always order mild.. i loveindianfood... but be forewarned, always, always ask for mild. one time i forgot to mention the magic word and my mouth was on fire and my scalp started sweating. i dint know what it is aboutindianspices but be forewarned, everything mild please.

recommendations: biriyani (indian style fried rice), and anything with fenugreek like the methi. grab both the naan and the nicely fragrant basmati rice to soak up all that delicious curry.

remember- mild!

we visited thisindianrestaurant last month in jersey city. the place is located at a nice location and the ambience is pretty good and inclusive.

we ordered dal, palak paneer and naan. the food was very delicious and the quantity was good enough for the three of us. really liked their presentation of the food.

the service was quick and they even suggested us their best dishes. totally recommended!

if decent pure veg food, southindiandishes in particular and buffets are your thing then sapthagiri is a good option. we have tried a couple of their buffets,  they do different chat-southindiandishes combination on different days and their thalis and have mostly liked almost everything. their food does not stand out really but it is not bad either. located on theindianstreet in jersey city, it is one of the numerous establishments servingindianfood and if you are a regular there and want a change of taste then this is a good option. they have a decent size seating area and polite and helpful staff.

one of the finestindianrestaurant in jersey city near journal square (where most of the indians reside). this place is the most crowded and buzzed place in jersey city, nj and it lives upto customer expectation by providing the quality of food customers seek for! sapthagiri has a huge waiting line almost everyday but mostly within 15 minutes you'll get a table. dosa's are great here with a-one variety. north indians can try shahi paneer, garlic naan's & other dishes which all go well. do try lemon soda (also called as "banta" in delhi area). must visit place whenever you visit nj.

chole bature was not good at all. it was very thick and not traditional taste..
southindiandishes are good. rava dosa ,idli medu vada are all good

sapthagiri is located right on the popular "indian street" of jersey city - so it is hard to miss. they provide southindianfood mainly and it is pretty decent.

there are many more southindianfood joints within a mile area, so there are tonnes of options. sapthagiri is decent in the quality and taste of food it offers.

there is nothing extraordinary that makes it a must go yet it does not disappoint in any way if you happen to visit it. food is fresh and pretty decent portions as well.

my visit was satisfactory but i might just try some other southindianjoint around due to plenty of options!

sapthagiri has some good southindianfood. it is also fairly authentic. i have been here several times and tasted a few different items on their menu. their dosas are very tasty and so is the sambar and other accompaniments. i used to particularly visit sapthagiri on friday afternoons for their lunch buffet. their chole bhature is quite tasty as well.

planned to have brunch but it was very crowded so came back here for dinner and i must say its too crowded all the time!!! the idlys and vadas were okayish.. vada was half cooked. northindiandishes are great here.. especially garlic naan and subjis.

wow! what a find. dad and i visiting from pittsburgh. got the review from urbanspoon. they had a dinner buffet with made to order dosa. at 9pm the place was packed. once we sat down we had ver authentic southindianfood. new dishes were continously added to the buffet. the staff were great and very attentive. dad isindianand loved it all. my fav was rava dosa with the various chutneys. we will be back for sure they also do traditionalindianbreakfast. great find.

simple, delicious, and honest. i am from india and i have lived in the u.s. for a dozen years now. sapthagiri tops the list ofindianrestaurants in terms of how they make you feel at home. i liked it so much that i went there on six consecutive evenings with my family and in-laws during our stay in north bergen, nj. one of the taboo themes no one likes to talk about is howindianrestaurants treat other indians. typically, the word "contempt" comes to mind but at sapthagiri, i had an amazing experience on each of the six evenings. everyone from those taking orders to the chef and the manager (rex waris, a goan) showed genuine interest in their customers. you can spot genuine interest when you see it. there are no two ways at being genuine. i come from a middle class family and the food tastes like home; it feels as if the chef takes pride in the food he prepares. if you crave for simple, delicious food at a non pretentious place that reminds you of home, sapthagiri is the place to visit. parking can be tight, so have someone drop you and pick you up. also, since the restaurant is in high demand, be prepared to wait for 10 - 15 minutes. the place can be noisy and bustling with activity at times in a manner reminiscent ofindianrestaurants back home. i very highly recommend this restaurant.

always excellent sometimes outstanding. ok folks
this is the real deal. a great southindianrestaurant.

by the way, do not order the
northindiandishes on meal which are good but not great . make sure you order the south-indian items. the south-indian is best deal in tri-state. varies every day so keep on ordering it! staple brunch items like masala dosa, idli, upttapam are wonderful.

moderately enjoyable experience. we went here on a sunday night and the place was packed. the food was ok in comparison to otherindianvegetarian restaurants. the samosas came out cold, but the manager was helpful and brought out new ones that were piping hot. the vegetable curry was decent but was not as spicy as advertised. the garlic naan was delicious.
