New Indian Restaurant To Open On Route 202 In Bridgewater

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — A new Indian restaurant is opening on the Bridgewater and Branchburg border.

Driving down Route 202, you can't help but notice the fresh new paint job, a newly paved parking lot, new signage, and lights announcing the opening of Mauka Indian Cuisine at 793 Route 202 in Bridgewater.

"Experience the rich flavors of Indian cuisine with us - Fine dining quality, generous portions, and a warm, homely ambiance. It's like being embraced by family," according to maukaindiancuisine.com.

The family-owned BYOB restaurant is planning to open later this month, according to facebook.com/Maukaindiancuisine.

The menu features a variety of soups, salads, Tandoori sizzlers, entrees featuring chicken, lamb, goat and seafood, and also vegetarian and vegan entrees.

The location is between the Milltown Road intersection and the North Branch River. It formerly was home to a slew of businesses including Mia Sorella(which closed last summer), a COVID-19 testing site during the pandemic, Nik's 202, and IHOP.

Mauka Indian Cuisine already has another location in Eatontown and is also planning to expand to open a third location this spring or summer, according to instagram.com/maukaindiancuisine.
