Salad House opening new Central Jersey restaurant in Metuchen

METUCHEN – A new Salad House restaurant is scheduled to open this week at 660 Middlesex Ave. A social media post indicates the restaurant will open Nov. 13. The Salad House menu includes salads, wraps, soups, grain bowls and smoothies, along with sides such as zucchini sticks, quesadillas, cauliflower bites, french fries, hummus platters and sweet potato fries. The restaurant also offers vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options. Salad House was founded by Joey Cioffi, whose family owns a deli in Springfield, where he learned everything from washing dishes to preparing large catering orders, according to the restaurant's website. Cioffi created Salad House to offer fresh, fast-casual food that was healthy and family-friendly. He opened the first Salad House in Millburn in 2011, followed by a Morristown location two years later. In 2016, entrepreneur and restaurant operator Jerry Eicke became involved in the business. The two reached a franchising agreement and opened a third location in Westfield in 2017, according to the website. More: 68 apartments, retail proposed for downtown Metuchen The chain also has a Central Jersey location in New Brunswick. Other locations include Cherry Hill, Englewood, Englishtown, Hackensack, Livingston, Manahawkin, Montclair, Newark, Parsippany, Red Bank, Ridgewood, Rutherford, Secaucus, Sparta,

Cafe Exchange brings an anti-tech coffee shop to Berkeley Heights

With minimalist decor, clean lines and neutral colors, most modern coffee shops brag about their tech-savviness. But Cafe Exchange in Berkeley Heights, which will celebrate its grand opening Nov. 15 in what was formerly known as Connell Corporate Park , is touting the opposite for those who are tapped out from AI, smartphones and screens. Instead, the new two-story social hub, now open at 500 District Drive Suite F, features a library with vintage books and a book exchange; a craft room with a typewriter and a "Mr. Deeds"-inspired greeting card-making workshop; a game nook; and an all-day cafe with century-old European lounge seating. Hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday through Nov. 14. Beginning Nov. 15, hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. More: New South Amboy pool hall wants to make pool cool again Cafe Exchange’s anti-technology focus extends to other concepts launching at its home in the District at The Park, a walkable main street being built with 160,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space. The cafe, one of the first concepts to open in the new destination, is an anchor,

Surprising dish at Eggholic in Jersey City

A couple of weeks ago, we made our way to Eggholic in Jersey City to discover a concept that's a little different from your typical Indian restaurant: founded in 2018 by cousins Bhagyesh and Lay Patel, Eggholic was inspired by the egg-centric street food of Gujarat, India, bringing dishes that are common at late-night food stalls back home to diners across the United States. What makes Eggholic unique is its celebration of eggs in all forms, from rich curries and sandwiches to street food specialties packed with bold spices and authentic flavors. The concept recreates the experience of India's bustling street-side food carts, where dishes are cooked fresh to order and meant to be shared with friends and family. This is a casual place where you will order at the counter and they will give you a number that you will put visibly on the table so they can bring your food when ready. We started off with some appetizers. The first one was dahi puri ($8.99), a popular Indian street food (chaat) made with small, crispy hollow puris that are filled with a mixture of potatoes, chickpeas, onions, and chutneys, then topped with dahi (yogurt) and various spices. I love these because they are crispy on the outside, creamy, sweet and savory, definitely a challenge to eat as, to get all the flavors, getting them in your mouth in one bite is the best. We also got their samosa ($3.99), that had a slight kick, but I admit that although I liked the filling, I did not like the shell at all that lacked the usual crispiness. For the main, we first got their paneer butter masala ($15.99) that is Indian cottage cheese (paneer) simmered in a buttery onion-tomato gravy. This was good, but quite spicy and I was happy to have a mango lassi ($5.99) to tame the spiciness. But the dish that blew me away was their boil tikka ($14.99). I mean, we are in a place that celebrates eggs, so we had to try an egg dish and I was not disappointed: it is made with sliced eggs sautéed in a rich, garlicky tomato gravy packed with spices. This one was not spicy and very comforting, eaten with roti ($2.98) and some rice. I simply loved it and will probably try to make it at home!
