Historical Review Excerpts
Review snippets came from the source workbook and may reflect public reviews available around 2018.
Google Beautiful temple, it's big yet personable. Love to see traditions being followed to the T. The charges are reasonable. Clean with ample parking. Love the cafeteria here, compact menu but the price and taste make it very alluring.5 Stars
Google Large hindu temple in Bridgewater new New Jersey with a large hall with dedicated temples for almost every hindu deity. Offers spacious parking lot and fabulous views of well maintained grounds. You may also enjoy snacks and lunch at a public canteen which offers south indian as well as north indian food. Variety of food is limited.4 Stars
Google Clean temple. Well organized. Lots of services available including car pooja. Canteen is open until 8.45 and food is excellent. Huge parking around the building. Proper attire is needed to enter.5 Stars
Google It's god creation. Super it is one of the best temple for lord venkateshwara in new Jersey.5 Stars
Google Nice temple. Saturday Venkateswara Swami darshan not available between 11.45 Am to 12.30 PM. Canteen food is good. Try to leave foot wear close to canteen before darshan as footwear is allowed inside canteen. Dosa, pesarattu are available hot as they are made freshly. Mango lassi was tasting great. Idly and Voda was not hot did not like it much. Sambar tasted good . Samoa was crispy and nice. Pakoda was hot and tasty.5 Stars
Yelp Very peaceful place..Nice atmosphere around temple areas..Clean and hygiene cafeteria..Food is awesome and food prices are very low ..5 Stars
Yelp My husband is Hindu and I am Christian and he brought me here to be with him while he prays. They have beautiful encouraging words that we all can use in our lives regardless of your faith.5 Stars
Yelp This review is based on food.. First of all their Prasadam Ladoo is good but I did had in Chicago and Atlanta which was amazing.. food has Dosa, vada, unlimited sambhar and coconut chutney and has filter coffee. Prices are amazing and food is good also.. overall for South Indian food craving can be satisfied fully here.. will be back!!!5 Stars
Yelp Excellent place of worship. Magnificent architecture. Clean, very well maintained. Cafeteria has good freshly made Indian food.5 Stars
Yelp This is probably the best temple in the close proximity of NYC metro area. It's been built on a huge area, have ample parking space. The Lord balaji is centrally positioned in the main building and all other gods have their own individual small temple surrounded by the balaji. You can feel the freshness in the air and the pristine atmosphere which soothes the mind and provides complete relaxation. They perform various services like car pooja, new born child pooja, wedding ceremony etc in the temple itself. The best part is the cafeteria where you can find incredibly cheap food. I am North Indian and a big fan of their bada and sambhar. You can try samosas, veg biryani, idli, veg pakoda etc. Try to visit, you will not regret.5 Stars
