Reviews
Spice levels range from mild (no heat) all the way to extra extra extra hot with green chilies, so everyone can eat comfortably or go bold if that’s your thing.
They’re extremely dairy- and lactose-free friendly. Even creamy dishes like chicken tikka masala can be made with coconut cream, without sacrificing flavor.
Drinks are thoughtfully done too—the Laake 3 Pegg (Indian Summer), top-shelf Long Island with a pineapple-mango twist, and masala soda were all solid picks.
Jyoti truly welcomes everyone: halal meats, vegan options, lactose-free, gluten-free (with breads available), Jain-friendly, keto-friendly, and a nut-aware kitchen (just be sure to inform them—cashew dishes are prepared separately).
There’s also a fun fusion element to the menu. Pizzas can be customized with any sauce, protein, and toppings. Loaded fries can be made vegetarian with paneer, and they even offer dairy-free roti dough bread.
Their weekday lunch buffet (Tuesday–Friday) is impressive: live dosas, chole bhature, fried rice, a chaat station with pani puri, soups, rotating vegetarian and chicken dishes, desserts, tea—and sodas included.
A longtime favorite in Wayne for a reason—consistent, accommodating, and full of flavor.
The food was outstanding. We started with a selection of appetizers, including Hakka noodles, chili chicken, pakoras, chicken tikka, and kabobs—every dish was delicious and well-prepared. For the main course, we enjoyed the Chicken Makati, vegetables, and lamb Karahi, which were simply exquisite.
What impressed me the most was the management’s cooperative attitude. They were attentive and accommodating, ensuring everything went smoothly throughout the event.
I highly recommend Joyti Restaurant for any event. You won’t be disappointed!
Next food. The order was delivered pretty quickly. Unfortunately, the quality is not something I could boast about. The mixed veg pakoda was not even warm, and on top, it was charred. See the pic (half eaten). Rest can be seen in the other pic. Technically, it should be golden brown, but this was very dark brown to black. Ordered chili paneer and Gobi manchurian. Manchurian was kind of half baked. I could feel it to be still kind of eating batter and not Gobi. Chili paneer was OK, but a lot of big onion pieces. Chat papdi was the only one that was good.
Entree, paneer masala was very good. Butter nan was soft and nice. Dal and jeera rice were also good. Veg biryani was ok. It was not great tasting, but it was not bad either. Manageable. I think we had too many appetizers, so probably biryani felt ok. But the texture was good, unlike I see in a lot of restaurants where it will be soggy and you don’t like eating.
Drinks were sherli Temple, which was good, and mango mint non alcoholic mohito was ok. Both had a very strong flavor of something artificial, which produced some medicine taste.
But otherwise, we enjoyed the entrees. We have been to many parties in this restaurant and food was always good. If your requirement is more of an entree and not much appetizers, this would be a good place. It is a family owned business, and I have high regard to the family for serving the Indian community from such a long time.
