PLEASE NOTE: Reservations are for indoor dining only. For outdoor dining, please call and make a reservation with the restaurant directly.

NJ's best Indian restaurant since it opened in 1991 as rated by Zagat, Moghul serves authentic North-Indian & Punjabi food.

With a recent renovation, a new bar/wine menu (although you can still bring your own), and the same great food and service, Moghul is the best Oak Tree Road had to offer. The bi-level space can easily be partitioned off for larger groups.

    Great food and the best service. Most restaurants don't have this level of service. Nice Christmas decorations. I don't like the newly updated restaurant though. It used to have much better decor and feel. Same with Ming next door. They both lost something with the new decor.

    We enjoyed ourselves very much and should give the restaurant at least another 1/2 star. All of our tastes and food wishes were completely satisfied. My husband, who cannot enjoy spicy food was completely delighted with the waiter's suggestion. Those of us who can handle some spice and heat found many delicious choices. The beer selection really pleased everyone. There was even a hard cider, which our daughter loves! The restaurant was quiet for early Saturday lunch and the servers were very attentive. So nice!

    We love Indian food, but will never return to Mogul. It was extremely disappointing in all aspects. The food was bland and the Chicken Masala didn't even taste like chicken masala...it was more like cheap tomato soup and had no flavor. The service was also terrible...the waiter was not at all helpful, spoke not a word. The water wasn't even good...it was warm with no ice. And no lemon. I think even worse than what I wrote above was that the tip of 20% was included in our bill. Considering this was a buffet and the waiter was not even courteous, a 20% tip was completely out of line. Never never would I recommend Mogel to anyone and in fact, I'd make sure anyone who asks would be told exactly how I feel.

    Everything was great, food, atmosphere and service. I don’t think a mandatory 20% service charge should be applicable to a party of 2 adults and a child…understandable for a party greater than 5-6.

    I was surprised that the restaurant added a 20% service charge. This is usually done for parties of six or more, and we were just two. The service charge is added to every order. We did not tip because 20% service charge should take care of the tip.

    I have been going here for over 20 years. Used to be excellent. I hope tonight was a fluke. The appetizer was very good, a spicy chicken dish Amaravathi Kpzhi Varuval (similar to Chicken 65). And the Naan was very good. Main entrees were good, but not as good as they used to be. My spouse had Lamb Rongandash, tastes was good, but very little lamb. Same with the Butter Chicken I ordered. Mostly sauce, very little chicken. And a little bland. The large rice was not that large. I 'd rather pay a little more, than have hem cut back on the ingredients. I hope tonight was just an off night for the chef.

    Everything, I mean everything was great. We were seated right away, the ambience was good, recently renovated, service was fantastic, they brought our champagne, and served out birthday cake nicely. We had taken both. Though they do have a bar, they were ok us bringing champagne and charged a nominal corkage fee. And the food was fantastic, that is everything we had for the table.

    We had a lot about Moghul, so we wanted to check it out for ourselves. I was disappointed in the food, but maybe that’s because of the expectations that I had. The Good: The ambience was superb! Great decor and wonderful silverware. The servers were attentive and polite. The chicken appetizer that our server recommended was so succulent and tasty that we felt we should have ordered another plate! The naan in the main course was quite nice too. The Bad: For main course, we ordered the butter chicken with 2 types of naan. While the naan was pretty good, the butter chicken was not anywhere close to what butter chicken should taste like. I generally eat very less salt and I try and avoid very spicy food eat. So for me to think that the butter chicken was completely bland is a huge red flag. Compared to NYC restaurants like Moti Mahal or Awadh or Tamarind (although I think they only have chicken tikka masala), this butter chicken was a total disaster! I firmly believe that if an Indian restaurant cannot serve good butter chicken and naan, the other items on the menu cannot be vouched for. So there you go - while the restaurant ambience and service is great, the food is not up to the mark. Or maybe the chef making that particular dish on that particular day had an odd bad day and that’s why the dish didn’t come out as good as it should have. I have to admit that it didn’t put a dampener on our much awaited trip to Moghul.

    Very poor quality cattle class food n service. We requested for Ala Carte but were bluntly told to go to buffet. The buffet food quality was horrible. Chewy, cold naan, hard paneer- stone quality and the rest of the food well to describe in short as i smentioned in the first line was cattle class. When we complained the waiter tried offering us discount which we refused outright. Never go there and definitely no repeat business from us.
