I don’t write reviews unless I am compelled by the experience. Minerva has given me an experience worth writing about.
The setting was peaceful and decorated with some beautiful artwork. The aroma inside was intoxicating, making me hungrier than I already was. We were sat quickly and immediately provided with water that was filled continuously.
Our server gave us ample time to view the menu and quickly took our order. The food arrived hot, and in really nice serving dishes I’d love for my home. The food was amazing. Dynamic flavors and perfect spice levels meant we left clean plates. The prices weren’t too bad either. Definitely would have paid more.
Minerva is definitely a treat worth indulging in from time to time. I will be back. Sooner than later because there were other dishes I am eager to try.

I went with mom to have dinner, we ordered fry fish as appetizer which took over 30min to arrive, we were the only table in the restaurant. We received our dinner chole bature where chole were room temperature and batura was cold and flat, other item goat curry.. again room temperature and batura with it cold and flat.
Carry out maybe better guys, being the only table and such a poor service and cold food was a disaster… will go there again.. be careful of this unorganized restaurant.

Wonderful South Indian cuisine! From Gol Gappa to Mutton Biryani, everything was delicious and full of authentic flavor. We tried more than 10 different items from the lunch buffet, and each one was excellent. Our entire party truly enjoyed the variety and quality of the food. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience great Indian cuisine!

Hair baked into the naan is diabolical…
The meat dish portions are pint sized for $27?????? You cut the portion in half, do a bogo sale for the food but double the price so it looks like I got 1 for free- this is theft! Then the seek kabob I ordered was priced $24.99- why was it kabobs that fit in my palm- barely appetizer size. The order total $131 for food for 3 people. DONT ORDER HERE – there’s so many good restaurants in the area. Kabob and Karahi is such a huge step up from this garbage. Spend money on quality, not fake advertising.

I went for the lunch buffet today with my husband, child, and a friend. I thought the food was really good. I was impressed with how fresh the food tasted. There was a good selection of dishes that I really love like Chicken Biryani, Goat Biryani, Goat Curry, Egg Curry, Butter Chicken, and a lot of other choices that I enjoyed. I believe there was also a Paneer Dish and some other vegetarian options. I was impressed with the variety and the friendliness of the staff. I tend to get very thirsty when I eat foods with spice and no lie the waitress came by like four times and refilled my water. I hope I can come back soon. I only knew about Indian Palace in Germantown. I’m glad there’s a closer Indian buffet that I can go to.

Their Chicken Tikka Masala is is perfect! I love that they make things mild or spicy, depending on how you like it. Most restaurants won’t do that for you.
I have loved their grilled items as well. The lamb is small but delectable!

I have order so many times from Minerva the quality of the food doesn’t match the taste or price . I order a chicken corn soup cost me $9.53 . The advertising pic and the soup they gave me was totally different. I called and checked they said this is how they make it . I am so disappointed and not going to offer anymore from this place .

Surprised at the relatively low review.
Came for the lunch buffet, thought it was fantastic. Service was great and attentive, place was bright with natural lighting.
Food was delicious with nice variety. The dessert custard was basically mango lassi with cocktail fruit in it.
Better than any of the American Indian lunch buffets in Jersey.

OVERALL:
The aroma of the spices and the tandoori smokiness of the meat dishes were a beautiful compliment to their vegetarian meals.
MENU:
There is a wide variety for even the pickiest of eaters without losing the authentic taste of Southern Indian Cuisine.
NOTE:
The service is a bit introverted yet pleasant, have patience with them as they are quite gracious people.
Definitely a must visit when you are in the area!

I went there recently after I was searching Indian restaurant where serves buffet near my town for a long time. Many of them don’t have it anymore after Covid-19 situation. Lucky me, I found them, The buffet was very nice and enough choices to eat. The service and inside restaurant were good. I paid for buffet around $20 with tip per one person. One thing I may concern is the female restroom was not working very well. Anyway, I will go to try them again, of course.
