Mishta

“Had the pleasure of dining here for lunch today, and honestly — what a treat! 🙌 We started with the chicken starter, and it set the bar high right from the first bite. The meat was incredibly fresh, the seasoning was spot-on, and the flavors were bold without being overwhelming. Exactly the kind of opener that gets you excited for the main course. The star of the meal, though, was the Delhi-style Butter Chicken — and I mean Delhi-style in the truest sense. Rich, velvety gravy with that perfect balance of spices, creaminess, and depth that you just can’t fake. It tasted like it came straight out of a home kitchen in Old Delhi. Absolutely flawless. 🧡 To round it all out, the Naan and Roti were freshly made — soft, warm, and perfectly puffed. The kind of bread that makes you want to order one more just to soak up every last drop of that butter chicken gravy. The food here is a genuine celebration of Indian flavors done right — fresh ingredients, authentic recipes, and clearly a kitchen that takes pride in its craft. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, lunch here is time (and money) very well spent. Will absolutely be coming back! Highly recommend. 🌟🍽️”

“Mishta really stands out as hidden gem. You can actually taste the quality. Fresh paneer made in-house built from scratch and their grass-fed lamb chops are amazing!!! It comes through in the depth of flavor. The gravies are bold and stand out, the spices are balanced, and nothing tastes like it came from a premade base. The Kerala Crab Sukka was a highlight, perfectly spiced with a coastal punch you rarely find in Jersey. The Litti Chokha brought real Bihari flavors, rustic and smoky. And the Kasundi Salmon Tikka had a mustard kick that cut through beautifully. Even the chaat felt different — lighter, more layered than the usual heavy-handed versions. Had a chance to meet Chef Buch, got to learn about his focus on regional dishes and royal kitchen recipes that you won't find at most Indian restaurants. There's a refinement to the cooking without losing the soul of the food. If you care about what goes into your plate and want Indian food that actually tastes like someone cooked it with intention, Mishta delivers!!!!”

“We tried Misha for the first time and it exceeded our expectations! Food tasted fresh and flavorful, and the menu was unique with its multi-regional cuisine. Highly recommend the chicken biryani! The chef personally spoke with us about their farm-to-table philosophy and his story behind opening the restaurant, which added a genuine, personal touch to our experience. The only suggestion for improvement I would mention is that a few of the menu items were not available, including all of the listed desserts. They gave us 2 dessert options, and the black carrot halwa we got (recommended by the chef) was very good. I wish the team at Mishta all the best in their success, and we will come back again soon!”

“Great evening dinning at Mishta Indian Restaurant at Hillsborough. Fresh from farm, everything made fresh. All vegetarian dishes were amazing, esp paneer tikka, tikka chaat, gajar halwa was unique. Chef Paarthic was very nice and hunkering, spend time with us about his journey to become Chef and why it inspire him to made everything fresh . #foodielife #vegetarian #indiancuisine #foodblogger”

“The food was really tasty, but the wait times were really, really long. The crab sukka and Aslam Bhai's chicken were really good, as well as the butter chicken, and the combination of a rich flavor and spice was excellent. Additionally, our server was very kind and understanding, and the atmosphere of the small restaurant was very cozy and welcoming but also fancy at the same time. However, some of the naan was crunchy like crackers, and the tamatar ki chaat was very underwhelming, and it was more like aloo ki subzi than a chaat. Additionally, the food wasn't decorated or garnished too much, and it took about 45 minutes to an hour for the entrees to be ready. Moreover, the menu already had limited options that were all pretty expensive, but some of their options were still unavailable despite that. While the food tasted exceptional for the most part, there were a couple components that I was not happy with, but if you're willing to wait some time and pay a good amount, Mishta is worth trying.”
