    Best Maharashtrian restaurant in US so fsr. Definitely recommend Saoji Goat thali and surmayi fry. Also has very good vegetarian options. Was definitely worth the 8 hour drive just for this

    We catered from Nagpuri Saoji for a 20-person gathering at our home, and the experience was fantastic. The quantity of food was more than sufficient, and the quality was exceptional — everything being freshly prepared including the condiments. Ivan from the staff was extremely helpful and guided us in selecting the right dishes to suit our guest's dietary preferences. He also made sure that everything was neatly packed and even helped us get a good price for our catering.

    We recently ordered food for our housewarming event in Monroe Township, and the experience was outstanding! The authentic Marathi flavors truly reminded everyone of home. Thanks to Swapna's thoughtfulness, the spice level was customized to suit everyone’s taste, without losing the traditional touch. Special mention to Uday Kurella who went above and beyond to deliver on time, serve guests warmly and wrap up efficiently. Highly recommended for anyone looking for genuine Maharashtrian cuisine!

    Ever since we saw the name of the place - we wanted to try it & finally we are really happy to have made it hear . The saoji goat curry & thay sol kadhi is something we will keep coming back to. We would also love to try the thaali someday. The food , the taste, the ambience , the overall experience & even the parking experience - everything made us pat on our back for finding this place. It has an elevator too - so its easy from people with strollers or wheel chairs will find it easy too. By the way all the people are extremely helpful & warm ; special mention of Joe - for the great conversation .

    Highly Disappointed 😡 | Unprofessional Experience at Nagpuri Saoji I had met the owner of Nagpuri Saoji in Manhattan, who personally invited me to try his restaurant, saying “Come visit my place sometime.” After a long time, I finally decided to go — with high expectations — along with three friends. We arrived 10 minutes before closing, not after. It was a long weekend, and we were four young, hungry customers who simply wanted a quick dinner. We even told the staff we’d happily settle for just rice and chicken/goat curry, and that we wouldn’t take more than 20 minutes. However, the moment we walked in, one of the employees rudely told us we can’t dine in, with zero courtesy or hospitality. He pretended to “check with the chef,” walked inside for barely two minutes, and came back with the same answer — as if the decision had already been made before even trying. 🙄 This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in the service industry. When customers take time out of their busy schedules, travel to your restaurant with expectations — especially after being personally invited by the owner — they at least deserve a respectful interaction and some flexibility. 👎 Nagpuri Saoji, this is a BIG NO from me. As a Level 6 Google Reviewer, I’ve dined at countless places across the city, and rarely have I seen such an unprofessional and dismissive attitude toward customers. If you do not allow dine-in after a certain time, then clearly mention your “Last Dine-In” cutoff on Google or at the restaurant entrance. Don’t mislead people with your listed closing time and then turn them away at the door. This was my first and last visit here. Totally disappointed and would not recommend this place to anyone. ❌
