Dharma Indian Bistro BYOB – Authentic Indian Cuisine and Warm Hospitality in Edgewater, NJ

Had a great experience at Dharma Indian Bistro. The Delhi ki Kachori was crisp and flavorful, and the Lahori Seekh Kabab was juicy with a nice smoky char. The Corn Cheese Jalapeño Rolls were perfectly cheesy with just the right kick. Everything tasted fresh and well made. Definitely ordering again.

We ordered 3 curries: chicken tikka masala, which was awesome, and coconut shrimp curry, and one other chicken curry. They were all good, and we also got house-made mint sauce, which goes well with chicken! We all love that sauce. We ordered with medium spice, but it wasn't spicy, so next time I will definitely try a bit more spicy version. 5 people got super full with 2 apps, 3 curries, and naans. Highly recommend going here! It has good food with good interiors and a spacious restaurant.

We had an amazing experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What truly stood out was the staff — attentive, courteous, and genuinely caring. They made our evening special. 10/10 recommend the place if you are looking for authentic Indian food.

My friend and I stopped in today. It was her first time trying Indian food - safe to say, she’s officially converted! We left happy, full, and already planning our next visit! We ordered: Thelewali Chaat - perfect balance of sweet, tangy and crunch Chicken Makhni - rich and comforting Shrimp Vindaloo - full of flavor and heat, my friend will try extra spicy next time. Cheese & Garlic Naan - warm and so good. Dipped it in everything! Raita - soooo good and helped calm the spice The portions were generous and every dish was absolutely delicious! The vibe and service made our experience even better. The space was bright yet cozy, and the Indian music playing in the background added an inviting and lively energy. Service was outstanding from start to finish. Attentive, welcoming, and genuinely kind. We cannot wait to go back.

Just dined here tonight and the food was sooo delicious! The atmosphere was casual and comfy, bringing a homey feel. We ordered some curries (the lamb curry’s meat was sooo delicious and tender that it fell off the bone!), naan, and chicken wings. Everything was seasoned well at a low spice level. The ice cream is veryyy perfumed tasting as a heads up~ The staff was super attentive and we thank them for a great first time visit! Would definitely visit again

Dharma is a fantastic spot for authentic Indian food with a thoughtful, modern twist. It’s a newer place, but you can immediately tell how much care and intention went into every detail—from the stunning, welcoming mural at the entrance to the tasteful decor, relaxed ambience, and genuinely attentive service. The menu strikes a great balance between tradition and fusion, and it works. My standout favorite is the Thelewali Chaat—light, fresh, vibrant, and packed with flavor. It’s the kind of appetizer that makes you slow down and actually enjoy every bite. As someone who pays close attention to restaurants that do things right, Dharma really stands out. Consistent quality, great energy, and food that feels both comforting and exciting. Easily the best option in the area and a place I’ll keep coming back to. Highly, highly recommended.

We came in on a rainy Friday night and were greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. They recommended their favorites, like the Goan Shrimp curry, which was flavorful and robust! I was impressed by the presentation, the vibrant colors and flavors, and the attentiveness. It was my birthday and the staff surprised us with dessert on the house! I hope that you try this restaurant soon!! A delicious, hearty, hidden gem!
