Welcome to Sigri Indian Bbq

“ This was my first time at this place near Rutgers Newark. Lots of room in the retail area. You pick your protein and the rice and sauces etc. The food was good and the gentleman behind the counter gave me recommendations. With veggie as my protein Sigri rice and roasted pepper sauce it was good. Would have liked to pump the spice level. Maybe I will bring a bottle of saracha next time :). Not bad. Would come again ”

“ Sigri is a really good place for Indian food and tandoor naan was nice, could have been added more garlic but was nice as it was too. I tried the platter and they give you more than enough food, especially the panner curry and rice, and they have variety of options to choose from. I feel like there could be more drink choices and Kathi rolls are a bit too expensive for what they are. ”

“ It's nice to have the option of eating your preferred veggies and beans with Indian cousins at this restaurant. The concept of costuming food and making your bowl with Indian tastes reminded me of Chipotle ”

“ I googled Indian food near me and this place came up. It was very easy to order when I arrived .The staff was polite. I had Sigri special rice with chicken tikka and chicken tandoori with garlic naan. It was a delight. The butter sauce and mango chutney was good. (Though I’ve had better butter sauce) Radish & cucumber slaw was ok.The mango lassi was out of this world. My bill was less than 20 bucks.4 stars because 1 piece of naan doesn’t cut it..at least 2. I’ll definitely revisit. Ps. Had to make extra naan when I got home (in plate) ”

“ Love the modularity of the ordering process. Great lunch spot. Lots of seating. Good food. The sigri rice, with chicken Tikka, butter sauce, mango chutney, and cucumber relish with garlic naan... Really nice people too, with quick service. ”

“ Sigri has the softest paneer I have ever had in the entire US! Their mango lassi is very refreshing and paneer bowl is a must try! ”

“ 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. ”

“ I tried the Chicken Tikka Kathi Roll, and it was absolutely delicious! The worker prepared it fresh right in front of me, and it was perfectly filling. I loved the combination of spicy chicken with a refreshing hint of mint—it was such a great balance of flavors. The store's decor was another highlight—it felt so cozy and welcoming, almost like being at home. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to, especially because it's a short walk from campus! ”
