Mango Mango Dessert - Edison
my go-to spot for indian food nearby, my favorite is, of course, the butter chicken. seriously super yummy, i would say takeout would give you a bigger portion than dine in, a little on the pricier side if getting more items, basically on rutgers cam...
Nirvanis Indian Kitchen: Home
i had this place once but it's honestly a good ice cream spot nearby. also basically on campus so no additional transporations. generous scoops, even for a small size, and can get in an ice cream sandwich form!
The Baked Bear
decently priced sushi, not too overpriced. generally fresh fish and one of my go-to spots to treat myself! my favorite roll is the salmon roll.
Sakana Sushi & Japanese Cuisine: Home
personally i went to the one at american dream mall which was about 50 minutes from Rutgers. I had the beef ramen medium spice and it was DELICIOUS. it was decently priced too if I remember ~17.99. it's placed within the hmart eatery, which there is ...

cheap sushi but i usually get the same old salmon roll so i'm not really sure about other prices. fish is typically very fish and sushi is filling. i doordash so there are usually promotions for certain items like buy 1 get 1 free.
Ottoyee Japanese Cuisine(Sushi&Ramen)
ON CAMPUS!! i get the yogurt bowls but they're small portion and kind of expensive. VERY YUMMY though if you want to splurge on a sweet treat thats nearby. there are other food food like stirfry and noodles!
