Our Guestbook
“ Delicious from beginning to end! The milkshakes are insane! Falooda, Kesar-Pista... Alphonso Mango Ice Cream Milkshake ... TRY THEM ALL! The Gobi Manchurian was pure magic and the Dosas were great... The red chutney with the dosa was a little peculiar... Everything was great except our server that did not know the menu and was arguing with us since he did not believe some of these were “real” menu items... ”
“ Fast Friendly and Delicious! We had a great time today! Bombay talk is Edison’s Iconic spot for indian street food. Thank you ”
“ We have been coming here for years and as well worth the 45 minute drive! The owner and her staff are so friendly and give great service. They even accommodate my desire for spicy food and my friend who doesn’t like spice at all! So there is something for everyone! A great family run business that’s been in the family for many years! ”

“ Dimple's Bombay Talk is located in the heart of little India in Iselin Oak Tree road. This place in an institution as Indian version of New Jersey Diner, which has all vegetarian menu where you can get Indian classics of appetizers, sandwiches, dosa crepes, soups, Indo Chinese food, Indo Thai food, desserts and Indian true classics such as Pav Bhaji, Chole Bhature (a must try for first timers) to name a few. On this visit, I ordered: 1. Sweet corn soup: 3/5 - Soup was not freshly made as the broth was very thick, spicy, and overfilled with sweet corn kernels. I have had this previously, and it made it differently and tasted fresh, which this version was not. 2. Dhai Puri: 6/5 - classic indian appetizers of small crisp puri filled with choles, diced potatoes, tomatoes, and onions and filled with sweet and green chutney, yougurt, spices and topped with fresh, savory and crunchy Sev bites. The version I had today was excellent, fresh, and it was made with care. I finished the entire plate by myself, which was a first. 3. Vegetable Hakka Noddle: 5/5 - classic Indian street food dish made with wheat noodles, fresh vegetables of Julian bell peppers, carrots, onions, cabbage and springs onions. This all sauted in large wok with blend of indian and chineses spices and sauces. The version I had today with extra vegetables was made to prefection with crisp cruch of vegetables, great chew of noodles all was nicely seasoned. I added some extra vinegar and hot sauce to enchance the flavor and increase the spicy level to my taste. This is an Indian classic, that Bombay Talk makes very well. (This dish should not be greasy it has to have a balance of oil that needs to cook the vegetables and noodles and sauces) Overall, it was a great experience today as the restaurant was not busy with Diwali New Year celebrations and shopping outside. Try to come early before the peak of lunch and dinner start as food is made with more care as the cooks are not rushed. One item I would like ownership to focus on is the greasyness of place. Chairs, tables, walls, and menus have this layer of greasyness makes surface sticky. The restaurant is constantly cleaning after every guest on tables and are constantly cleaning the floor and bathroom. However, with heavy use of oils to cook, open kitchen and closeness to patrons, greasness gets everywhere. Just need to improve on this. Please visit this great family restaurant that has established itself as institution of Indian Food classics in New Jersey! ”

“ Best Bhel I have had in tristate area. It was perfect . This is vegetarian restaurant in the heart of shopping district in oak tree rd. Excellent and fast service. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I am coming back for more. The highlight dish was Rose Falooda if you haven’t tried go now. Such fresh ingredients and the rose ice cream was incredible. It wasn’t too sweet. The tiki chaat was hearty and nicely spiced. Rose Falooda (rose flavored milkshake with dry fruits , basil seeds and rice noodles) ”
