About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Neighborhood gem
Located in Historic Downtown Freehold, Aarzu Modern Indian Bistro presents an exceptional upscale dining experience.
Modern Indian cuisine is making rapid strides. Today, it has moved beyond the realms of fusion gourmet. At Aarzu, we are taking the Indian cuisine out of the butter chicken and curry circle. The focus is on taste, texture and presentation. While the cooking method remains the same, our recipes involve diverse elements and unique food pairings with presentation being the focal point. After all, we do eat with our eyes first! Our innovative menu also brings to light the regional culinary diversity of India.
The décor, lighting, colors, art and even the serving platters in Aarzu are designed to complement the food to create the complete experience for the guest.

    The starter portion sizes should be increased. There were 6 -7 small boneless pieces in a tandoori chicken starter, which was too less for the prices. The taste was very good though and everything else was perfect.

    I ordered the samosa , naan , butter chicken, cashew chicken. Everything was tasty and flavorful. The cashew chicken was in a velvety cream sauce infused with cashews. The food excellent overall. Presentation was very nice as well. Service was so so not good but just ok. I waited 10 minutes for waiter to come over so I could order more rice for my delicious food. I would definitely recommend this place!! The food is amazing

    Aarzu is a favorite of ours. The food is always excellent. Today we had salmon curry and tandoori shrimp. Both superb. Great service too. See you soon Aarzu!
