Moghul Restaurant
Indian restaurant
Edison’s long-running Indian fine-dining landmark with tandoors on view, a bar program, and a devoted following. Featured by New Jersey Monthly for its refreshed look and menu, it remains a special-occasion staple on Oak Tree Road.
Ming
Pan-Asian restaurant
Next door to Moghul, this independently owned Pan-Asian spot is a local reference point for Indo-Chinese classics — think chili paneer and drums of heaven — highlighted by New Jersey Monthly and backed by steady neighborhood acclaim.
Mejwaani
Indian restaurant
A rare Maharashtrian kitchen in New Jersey, known for vada pav, misal pav, thalis and coastal fish specials. Recognized by Best of NJ and beloved by locals for homestyle spice work and community-rooted ownership.
LouCas

A New Jersey legend for skyscraper pastrami, matzo ball soup, and the pickle bar. New Jersey Monthly has spotlighted its massive, shareable portions and enduring deli craft — a true Edison pilgrimage.
The Skylark Edison

A design-forward take on the Jersey diner with breakfast classics, big menus, and late-night energy. Featured by Food Network and noted by travel editors as a modern diner worth a detour.
四海江湖菜 All Blue Chinese Cuisine

A locally owned Sichuan specialist near 99 Ranch Plaza, known for ma po tofu, cumin-spiced meats, and dan dan noodles. Recent diners note the move to a larger, brighter room and consistently bold flavors.
Delhi Garden Indian Restaurant
