A Disappointing Experience at Arusuvai Chettinad Indian Restaurant in North Brunswick Township, NJ

As I walked into Arusuvai Chettinad Indian Restaurant in North Brunswick Township, NJ, I was expecting a culinary experience that would transport me to the rich flavors and aromas of South India. Unfortunately, my visit left much to be desired.

One of the main issues I faced was the lack of transparency in what items were served on the menu. The digital display or chalkboard did not provide clear information about the dishes available, making it difficult for customers to make informed decisions. Additionally, the service was lacking, with the serving staff seemingly unaware of which dishes needed to be served first.

The food itself was a mixed bag. While some items, such as the non-veg sides like egg puff and goat liver fry, were novel and interesting, others fell short. The chicken curry had an unpleasant sweet taste, while the chicken fry was over-fried and looked unappetizing. The banana leaf meal we ordered included white rice, served with chicken curry, rasam (a spicy lentil-based soup), and buttermilk. While the food tasted good, there were only a limited number of non-veg curry options available.

What was even more disappointing was that there was no non-veg briyani option, despite it being listed on the menu. Instead, we had to settle for a single briyani dish that was served for both veg and non-veg meals. The lack of variety in the dessert options was also noticeable.

In comparison, my previous visit to Arusuvai Somerville/Norristown branch before the Corona lockdown was much more enjoyable. While the prices were reasonable, our recent visit to the North Brunswick NJ location was a letdown. The non-veg lunch buffet we ordered cost around $20 per person, which seemed expensive considering the limited options and poor service.

Overall, my experience at Arusuvai Chettinad Indian Restaurant in North Brunswick Township, NJ was disappointing. With some improvements to their menu transparency, service, and food quality, this restaurant could be a great option for those looking for authentic Chettinad cuisine in the area. Until then, I would caution others against expecting a satisfying meal here.
