Balaji Bhavan pure vegetarian South Indian restaurant

My friend and I (we’re Chinese and Vietnamese) were on a mission to try out this restaurant because we saw that it was always packed, sometimes with the line out the door. We finally went on a very cold Saturday at 2pm in the afternoon and still had to wait 2 minutes for a table to leave - that’s how popular this place is. I’ve had South Indian food twice in my life and my friend has never tried it. We ordered the Onion Chili Rava Masala Dosa, Samosa chaat, Pav Bhaji, and Baby Corn Majestic. We also ordered the BB special Dosa per the waitress’ suggestion, which turned out to be our favorite dish. I greatly enjoyed the filter coffee, masala chai and mango lassi too. All the servers were so attentive, lovely and beautiful people :) As non-Indians, we so appreciated how our server proactive

Visited Balaji Bhavan Pure Vegetarian South Indian Restaurant yesterday and had an amazing experience. I tried the Masala Dosa, Punugulu, and filter coffee, along with peanut chutney, ginger chutney, and sambar—everything tasted absolutely delicious and authentic. The flavors were spot on and reminded me of traditional South Indian home-style food. The front staff was extremely polite, welcoming, and attentive, which made the visit even more pleasant. Every item we tried was exceptional, and the overall quality of food and service was outstanding. This restaurant truly stands out as the best part of Heights, Jersey City. There are very few proper Indian restaurants nearby, and Balaji Bhavan easily fills that gap. I’m definitely planning to visit every week and try new dishes. Highly reco

This review is purely from the English formed in my mind. Though the prices are a tad bit higher, the quantity and the taste are TOTALLY JUSTIFIED. the flavors are amazing, and for the first time, I enjoyed the Sambhar served with the dosa. The starters were great too. We had vada and Mysore bonda and they were very tasty. Everything is fresh and served hot. Coffee is amazing too. You can choose between light medium and strong. I have to give a warning for people who don't prefer spicy food, if they have mentioned in the menu that it's spicy, they actually men it. The Guntur Karam dosa is spicy and true to the Andhra level of spice😂 But will definitely recommend

Definately 7 ⭐️s to them! I stumbled upon this famous pure vegetarian spot of jersey city, it was damn packed as always, the service was impeccable, the staff was quite knowledgeable & attentive, they made excellent recommendations, which added to the overall dining experience. The portion sizes were generous.As for the food, it was exquisite. My favourite dish was JINI DHOSA.❤️ Even rawa dhosa, ghee idli was upto the mark bursting out with authentic flavors & taste. I will definitely be returning soon. Must visit vegetarian restaurant!!!

Tried Balaji Bhavan recently and it was honestly one of the most satisfying South Indian meals I’ve had in a while. The dosa was perfectly crisp on the outside, soft inside, and served hot with fresh chutneys and sambar - simple, authentic, and full of flavor. It genuinely felt like eating a homemade meal. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality and portion size. Nothing felt overpriced, just solid value for what you get. Service was exceptional. Everything was served on time, checked in regularly, and was incredibly kind and attentive throughout. That level of hospitality made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d go back to without hesitation.
