About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Neighborhood gem
Located in Historic Downtown Freehold, Aarzu Modern Indian Bistro presents an exceptional upscale dining experience.
Modern Indian cuisine is making rapid strides. Today, it has moved beyond the realms of fusion gourmet. At Aarzu, we are taking the Indian cuisine out of the butter chicken and curry circle. The focus is on taste, texture and presentation. While the cooking method remains the same, our recipes involve diverse elements and unique food pairings with presentation being the focal point. After all, we do eat with our eyes first! Our innovative menu also brings to light the regional culinary diversity of India.
The décor, lighting, colors, art and even the serving platters in Aarzu are designed to complement the food to create the complete experience for the guest.

    Went for dinner on a Wednesday night. It was nice and quiet so I can’t speak to how it would be on the weekend, but the food was outstanding as was the service. I am definitely going back!

    If you don’t know Indian food well, your waiter will walk you through course by course. Share everything. After one dish, discuss the next with the waiter. Do not skip dessert.
