Review - NarenJ Persian Grill in Warren, NJ

Went there on a Friday night, easy to locate. If you are travelling on 78E it's off the Warren exit.


The place was lightly crowded. They serve fresh bread that is essentially indian style naan with some cubes of cheese and some herbs. It was fresh and delicious. Ordered some mango lassi and another unsweetened buttermilk laden beverage. Both these beverages were good and the price was just right. Indian restaurants tend to overprice these beverages and mercilessly peddle them, charging 5 or 6 $ for a glass.


AFAIK - it shouldn't cost  much to blend mango pulp from a can and yogurt !


Anyway, back to NarenJ - we ordered Lamb kebabs, a rice dish with chicken kebab and a chicken stew based dish.


The Kebab's were fresh and juicy,  not overcooked, burnt or leathery...they tasted just right.
The rice was soft and fluffy with some orange zest, guessing it was basmati rice. 
To enjoy the stew - it is probably an acquired taste....it has a tart, earthy, cooked for a long time taste to it.
I would think most western and asian palates might not take to it quickly, unless you are used to it.


Ohh.. BTW the falafel's were outstanding, freshly made and crunchy on the outside, little grainy on the inside.


Overall very enjoyable experience.... priced very reasonably.
Will definitely visit again. Recommend.

Sincerely.
