Nestled in the heart of Freehold, New Jersey, Aarzu Modern Indian Bistro offers an exquisite journey through the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine. With a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere, this restaurant is a true gem for anyone looking to indulge in vibrant flavors and beautifully plated dishes.
The menu at Aarzu is a curated masterpiece, featuring an array of small plates and appetizers that highlight the essence of modern Indian cooking. Start your culinary adventure with their Dahi Vada—tantalizing lentil fritters drizzled with sweet yoghurt and cumin, a delightful symphony of flavors for just $9. For those seeking something a little more daring, the Smoked Quail Eggs with Tellicherry pepper, coconut, and baby naan will intrigue your palate and elevate your dining experience.
This restaurant truly shines with its ambient decor—a perfect blend of modern aesthetics and comfort. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a warm, welcoming staff that makes you feel right at home. Customers like Megh Patel laud the atmosphere, noting that it feels special and modern while maintaining a friendly vibe, a rarity in the main streets of Freehold.
The Appetizer segment of the menu is particularly noteworthy, with standout items like the Truffle Butter Pav Bhaji ($16) that pairs spiced mashed vegetables with fluffy buns, and Calcutta Gobhi Manchurian ($16)—a crispy cauliflower dish that dances delicately on your taste buds. One patron, Purbasha Dalabehera, remarked on the excellent presentation and flavor of the starters, encapsulating the artistry that each dish embodies.
However, not every experience has been seamless. Some customers, such as Saaketh Krosuri, found the main courses somewhat less impressive compared to the vibrant appetizers, suggesting a focus primarily on the small plates for a more satisfying dining experience. Despite some mixed reviews, the majority agree that the atmosphere and service remain top-notch, significantly contributing to a memorable outing.
