Will come back when in town. Great little spot in a nice Plaza. The staff was very friendly and quick to serve me. Food was very good, I had the chicken korma with garlic Nan.
By far the best Indian restaurant I have ever experienced! All of the menu options that I have tried in my 20+ times here were packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The staff have treated me like family since our first meeting. The atmosphere is great and the restaurant is very clean. Highly recommended!
It's a very good South Indian restaurant in Plainsboro plaza, NJ. It's kind of stuck in a corner. You've got to be a bit patient in finding it. Girish, my waiter made great recommendations based on my input. The Tandoori chicken was very good but takes a bit of time to get it off the grill. Aloo Parata, a Naan filled with mashed potatoes, was also very good. I will try a bunch of other items on my next trip back from Long Island, NY. By the way, the place doesn't serve alcohol, BYOB, highly recommended. Give this place a go, and you won't regret it.
When you find a hidden gem that you know you want to write about , one cannot explain the joy that you experience… first of all the name caught our attention- when we dropped in on a Friday evening for dinner / dine in, you notice not many were seated but the front desk was bustling with filling in take out orders. When our orders came in, we were immediately captivated by the difference you notice in presentation, taste, quantity that adds to your overall experience. The front desk and service went above and beyond to answer all our questions and paid attention to our every need. They were very busy. So if you are in and around Princeton, Plainsboro, West Windsor area give this hidden gem a try and dine in. We should encourage what this place is attempting to do to stand out.
Tulasi and his team at Pepper House were amazing! They provided the perfect catering service for our engagement party, which had over 300 guests at a clubhouse venue. When we went for a food tasting at Pepper House and met Tulasi, the food was outstanding. He was open to our suggestions regarding taste and presentation. He was very kind and communicative, and he made sure everything went perfectly on the day of the event. Every guest from both sides enjoyed the food and the presentation. The service was timely, and the food was served with great presentation, taste, variety and temperature. We highly recommend working with Tulasi and his team, and we would definitely use them again for future events!
Pepper House truly stands out for its food quality and excellent service. The biryani is exceptional—aromatic, rich in flavor, and cooked to perfection with long, fluffy rice and well-marinated meat in every bite. The Chicken 65 is equally impressive, with a crispy exterior, juicy interior, and bold yet well-balanced spices. The Gobi Manchurian deserves special mention as well—perfectly fried cauliflower tossed in a tangy, spicy sauce that’s flavorful without being greasy. Adding to the experience, the staff is attentive and courteous, making the overall dining experience warm, smooth, and well worth a repeat visit.
This place is a real find - one of the best Indian food places in NJ. Pepper House has a great ambience, lovely decor and great service. They have a small area cordoned of at the back for private events. The food is very tasty, each dish has its unique flavour and is cooked well, portion sizes are big and meant for sharing. And if you like your food hot and spicy, you can ask them to kick up the spice level a notch. On the Saturday afternoon I was dinning in, most of the orders were for pickup and delivery.
This is my favorite Indian restaurant. Keeps the taste and quality consistent. I'm a regular customer for years. Reasonable pricing with great taste and consistent all the times. Some of my favorite items are Chilli chicken, Pepper chicken, Chicken biryani, Noodles, Gobi Manchurian, Apricot delight, Poornalu, Gongura rice, Bindi Fry, Dal etc. All are amazing. I placed couple of catering orders from here and many of my friends also got the catering orders delivered. Their staff are very friends and helpful to arrange food on the table so that it is ready serve. Received many appreciations. Their food was served in many gathering I attended. Always a positive note from everyone. I strongly recommend them for dine in or to place any bulk orders.
Delicious dishes to savor for a family especially on mother's day. Surprise cake was add on for all diners. Appetizers to desserts along with cheeku shake. Butter milk was the best quality and taste i ever had past 15 -20 years. I would suggest buffet should have more vegetarian options. As meat lover every dish was well cooked and delicious. The service can be rated more than 5.
Being a Hyderabadi, my bar for biryani and Indian food is set pretty high. We came here after driving in from Long Island, NY after watching the ICC T20 World Cup match, tired and hungry, and one of my friends recommended Pepper House for dinner. It's a BYOB spot, and the staff kindly arranged a private seating area for our group. We ordered a spread — several South Indian dishes, biryanis, chilli chicken, naan, and chicken 555 — and everything came out great. Good flavors across the board and a solid hangout vibe for a group dinner. Worth noting: the owners previously ran a restaurant in Mount Laurel, NJ, which was our regular spot for years — in fact, it was our office's go-to Diwali party venue until it closed. I actually had the privilege there of requesting off-menu dishes to give my coworkers a real, authentic taste of Hyderabadi cuisine. Glad to see that same quality and hospitality carried over to Pepper House. Solid food, great service, and a nice option for anyone craving genuine South Indian/Hyderabadi flavors.
