Princeton has no shortage of restaurants and a chronic shortage of parking. We are ten minutes of open road away, with a lot at the door and a corkage bill of zero.
The trade you are making
Drive east instead of circling Nassau Street: 1275 South River Road, Cranbury, where Route 130 meets South River Road. Free on-site parking, accessible spaces at the door, and BYOB — bring the bottle you would otherwise pay three times for.
Lunch runs 11:00 am to 3:00 pm daily and dinner every evening, with instant online reservations when you want a specific hour.
What Princeton tables order
Academic and hospital schedules mean late dinners and mixed dietary requirements — both of which we handle without ceremony. Vegetarian dishes carry a full dinner here, the Thai noodles and curries give a lighter path, and the tandoor is the reason to bring visitors: Mixed Platter, lamb chops, whole Tandoori Pomfret.
See the menu or read how we would order for four. Vegetarian guests should start with this guide.
Departmental dinners and event catering
We cater across Mercer and Middlesex: departmental lunches, conference dinners, lab celebrations and home parties. Trays serve roughly 10–12, 20–25 and 30–35 guests, with vegetarian-forward menus if that is what the room needs.
48 hours for large orders — call (732) 466-1345, see pricing, or read the corporate catering guide.
