Best Indian in Central(ish) New Jersey?

So I'm going to be out in the New Brunswick, NJ area next week to visit the gf's family, and I believe there is a very significant--perhaps the most significant in the country?--South Asian population and commercial hub in the vicinity. Can anyone recommend some standout restaurants and must-try dishes we should seek out?

Danke.

I used to go to a place called "hyderabad inn" in Edison. I liked it

Go figure, I google "best indian in new jersey", and an LTH thread comes up! I grew up in Central Jersey, and am about to meet my parents in Little India (Edison/Iselin boarder) for some South Indian. I, a half-indian, attended high school in Edison, and have had countless meals on Oak Tree road; the hub for all things Indian.

Let me know where you ended up.

Our absolute favorite is:

Swagath
1700 Oak Tree Road
Edison, NJ 08820
(732) 549-2626


Others we frequent, but not in Little India:

Dosa Grill
1980 New Jersey 27
North Brunswick, NJ 08902-1337
(732) 422-6800

Hoysala
Highwood Plaza
2 John F Kennedy Blvd,
Somerset, NJ 08873
Ph: 732-247-4300

We ended up at Hoysala in Somerset at the behest of Brian Yarvin (he, the NJ restaurant reviewer for Serious Eats), though were disheartened to discover that it's buffet-only at lunch; menus were taken away as briskly as they were delivered to us. We did, however, stay for the spread, though that makes it difficult

Okay, I lie: the food was generally pretty good, and the meal was a relative bargain at $8.95/pp--but it certainly wasn't memorable. The raitas, chutneys, and lime pickles were quite good; the breads were generally fine, though the naan suffered a bit from a steam table staycation (nice of them to bring dosa directly to the table, though). They only offered a single curry (chicken malnad) and had way too many rice dishes (at least five), but the andhra biryani and yellow rice were admittedly excellent; so too were a red chicken fry and a potato/pea fry with tumeric and coriander. We didn't go home hungry, though I had really hoped to try to the pineapple gojju...
