Great Drinks, great food, and love their bread and oil! We sat in the bar dining area for the first time and really enjoyed the live music!

First time trying this restaurant & had a wonderful evening. I had salmon and he had the venison bolognese - both were delicious! My salmon came with a sun dried tomato risotto which was so good and complimented the salmon perfectly! For appetizers we chose the evening special which was stuffed shells (3) and Cesar salad. Our waitress split the salad for us in the kitchen which we appreciated. The shells were very good. We didn’t enjoy the Cesar was as we prefer a creamy dressing and this was served with a vinegary oil based dressing. Honestly, it tasted like something out of a bottle. Next time we will get the ricotta meatballs or the wedge salad. Ambience was very nice - small and cozy - not rushed. Our waitress Misty was exceptional. Welcomed us as first timers and spent time chatting, making us feel welcome. I would have rated higher (4.5) but the system doesn’t allow for half stars. Overall highly recommend and we will be back with friends.

This is our first visit to Sandalwood Indian Kitchen Restaurant, and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Om, our server was excellent. He was attentive. polite, and personable. We ordered the garlic naan, and it tasted very good. Next, we had the samosas as an appetizer, and they were excellent. The samosa filling was perfect. For our appetizers, we ordered Butter Chicken and Shrimp Biryani. The Butter chicken had a deep, flavorful, rich, tasty, smooth, creamy sauce. The shrimp Biryani had a few large shrimp. The rice was cooked to perfection. There was basmati rice and saffron rice with the shrimp. Both portions were plentiful. The decor was pleasant. Sandalwood India Kitchen is located one block west of the Garden State Parkway on Route 47. We will be returning to Sandalwood Restaurant.
