Any thoughts? I had thought of the restaurants in the Menlo Park mall, but I think Sunday mall traffic might be tough going.   Cleve Dark Citizen Username: Clevedark Post Number: 122 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, December 8, 2005 - 9:27 pm:        Aren't there supposed to be good Indian restaurants in Edison? (I think Iselin is near Edison....)   The Oracle of MOL Supporter Username: Oracle_of_mol Post Number: 165 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Friday, December 9, 2005 - 11:11 am:        http://www.roadfood.com/Reviews/Overview.aspx?RefID=1344 http://www.roadfood.com/Reviews/Overview.aspx?RefID=462 Go in peace. --The Oracle of MOL   MHD Citizen Username: Mayhewdrive Post Number: 3074 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Friday, December 9, 2005 - 12:11 pm:        Cheesecake Factory in Menlo Park Mall or Bertucci's on Route 1 (for something less expensive and more casual)?   papayagirl Citizen Username: Papayagirl Post Number: 462 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, December 9, 2005 - 2:03 pm:        How about Jose Tejas? It's kind of Mexican/Cajun, and it's a good place to get a margarita. It gets pretty crowded at dinnertime and after work, but lunch on the weekend isn't nearly as bad. (http://www.epinions.com/content_59547618948) Iselin is pretty much the center of everything Indian. If you like that kind of food, check the recent posts for recommendations, such as Chowpatty and Dimple. If you want a bit nicer than that, there's Moghul and Ming (which is more asian fusion, and i've always wanted to try it). (http://www.moghul.com/edison/index.html and http://www.mingrestaurants.com/ming.htm). LouCa's is an italian place only a couple of minutes away from the Menlo Park Mall, and it's likely to be way less crowded than the Cheesecake Factory. It's supposed to be really good, but i've never been. (http://www.loucasrestaurant.com/) If you want diner-y, there's Zervos. They're supposed to be known for their soups, although i don't see what the fuss is all about. (http://www.edisonfamilyrestaurant.com/)
