Sigri Indian Bbq

Visited Sigri for lunch with a group of friends from work. It is one of the newest restaurants around in Newark at Rutgers campus and has become pretty popular in short time. The restaurant can be dubbed as an Indian Chipotle serving awesome food with great ambience, quick service and reasonable pricing. The staff was very friendly and suggested me the choice of sauce for the meal. It may get a bit crowded during lunch hours, but the lines move pretty fast and there is ample seating as well. They also have an open bread kitchen where one can see live Naan making in the Indian ovens called tandoor. The menu was very simple and had great choices for each course of the meal. I found the place pretty vegetarian friendly. For each order you can choose between bowl, roti or platter type. For platter pick a choice of rice, protein, sauce, naan bread, kachumbar (salad) and chutney. It also comes with a Samosa on the side. This may seem a lot of things to pick but it was simple and definitely worth it. Vegetarians can choose between Grilled Vegetables (vegan option) or Paneer for their choice of protein. I wish the amount of sauce served could have been a bit more, found it a tad less for the entire meal. Overall, I have found the food very flavorful and tasty. Recommendations: Rice bowl Rice: Sigri Rice Protein: Paneer Sauce: Butter (Rich tomato and onion based sauce) or Vindaloo (Spicy sauce option) Naan: Garlic Naan Kachumbar/Salad: Cucumber and Radish (Light, refreshing and pairs well with spicy curries) Chutney: Mango Cilantro ( Sweet and tangy sauce to cut the richness of the meal) Lassi: Mango Lassi FYI, one can also order the food online on their app and skip the line to save some time. Summary: A must try place in Newark area close to the Rutgers campus for some great Indian food and quick lunch.
