• The crusty bread served with olive oil.
• Chicken scaloppine is not good.

“The restaurant servers are pretty pushy in selling things that you are not intended to eat in the first place. It was our first visit to this place and it was horrible experience. We asked for Chicken Scaloppine and exactly half of the dish was without salt and remaining half was terribly salty. Since it was our first visit, we were nervous to mention this to the server. Also, while serving house wine, they gave a sample first, and then made a stern face almost threatening like to order one glass full. When we got the check, the server asked us, if we were interested in getting the change back I said "Yes", and the waiter asked me 3-4 times, if I was sure about it. Now, after eating the saltiest food in whole of NJ, why would I give a tip of $17.50. I just couldn't hold myself back, and told the waiter that my dish was half salty. Now the manager comes in with a threatening look with few other hefty looking staff behind her. She asked me, why didn't I mention the food quality earlier. I told her, I didn't feel like, but only after being demanded a hefty tip, I couldn't keep myself quiet. The space was almost empty, yet, we had barely got up from our table and putting on our jackets, when the cleaners started changing the sheets. Also, constantly, they were sweeping the floor next to us, while we were eating. And anybody sweeping a floor next to me, while I am having my food in the restaurant. It just raises a lot of dust around and does go in our plates.”

• None.
• The service and food.

“They skimp you on everything. Their alcohol was horrible, very watered down, and cheap. They do not know how to run a fine banquet facility. Food takes hours. Wait did I say food?, I mean dirt. The owners should be ashamed of themselves for such a D-List banquet hall. The bathrooms were very dirty, and smelt horrible. Their outside is ugly, featuring a view of the back of the hall. It looks like it was run down. They had one bartender for over 200 people and he cant serve for his life. So expensive, yet they are so cheap when it comes to portions. Serving drinks in short size glasses is not normal, and refusing a larger glass is even more unacceptable.”

• Location, look of banquet halls.
• Management, service and not honest.

“I love Indian food, people and the culture, I'm Hispanic, but this place gives Indian banquets a bad name. Service was bad, food wasn't labeled, paid extra for desserts that were never served. One bar tender for 240 people. Paid extra for top liquor and I caught the bar tender serving cheap vodka to my guests and they even went as far as to charge for the grey goose that we paid extra for. Didn't have the hall ready and had my guests waiting 1 1/2 hr outside and didn't even try to accommodate them. Bathrooms where nasty had to bring my own basket of supplies for ladies room. Waiting team would remove drinks, food from tables without asking if guest were done. What a disaster. So beware, she's deceiving an unprofessional all she cares is about making money and not her clients needs. The place has potential but needs some fixing along with new management.”

• Food.
• Horrible service.

“Just horrible. We made a reservation for 9:30. When we reached at 9:30, we were told to wait and finally got our tables at 10:15, not to mention that again the table that we got was cramped, but we just wanted to eat and get out of there. Coming to the food and service, that was horrible too. We ordered house wines. When the wine came in, it had ice in it. When asked why there was ice in the wine, they said that the wine wasn't cold and they put ice in it to make the wine cold. What horrible service. Shouldn't they ask if we were ok with ice in our wines. The food was good but as the way our night was going, the orders were messed up. One of my friends was vegetarian, she got my chicken. We all decided we will not go there again. Just horrible service. The young attendants at the entrance had horrible attitude and was giving us a feeling that she was doing us a big favor by letting us in the restaurant.”

• Leaving with a fully satisfied feeling after a good meal.
• None.

“Nothing beats good Chinese food than eating it for a good price. General TSO's chicken is the house specialty that keeps me coming back. Other good things are the dumplings, scallion pancakes and fresh hot sour soup. Throwing parties downstairs in the private room is convenient. .”

• It was easily accessible from the highway. It was open.
• Seemed "seedy" and somehow unclean. Left quickly.

“It should not be in any travel guide. It is just a "pass by" dump. Sorry. ”
