My friend and I stopped by after a late Rutgers class because we were starving, and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the Lamb Shahi Korma with white basmati rice, a mango lassi, and garlic naan. My friend got onion naan and chicken biryani, and everything was absolutely delicious.
Now, let me just say, the spice level here is no joke! We’re both Latina and love a little heat, but even the mild had a good kick. My mild was closer to a medium, and my friend’s medium was definitely on the spicier side. Still, the flavor made it worth every bite.
The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and the prices were very reasonable. And that mango lassi?
Perfectly sweet and refreshing, exactly what we needed to balance the spice. If you’re out late and craving something flavorful, I totally recommend this spot.
We ordered the Vegetable Manchurian, Paneer Dum Biryani, Chicken Fry Biryani, and Chettinad Chicken Curry (boneless). All the dishes were flavorful, well-prepared, and served in generous portions.
I had also requested a boiled egg with the biryani, which was not provided. When I inquired later, I was told it was unavailable. It would have been appreciated if this had been communicated upfront rather than after the fact.
On a positive note, the restaurant offers a baby high chair and ample parking, which is convenient for families.
Food – 5/5
Service and Atmosphere – 3/5
Hats off!! Great Biryani
HBK Special Chicken Biryani $17.99
After 7 months of staying here, I finally discovered a proper South Indian cuisine restaurant that truly tickled my taste buds after such a long, long time! I’m genuinely happy to have found this place instead of wasting money without satisfaction at the usual Indian street restaurants around Jersey City.
We tried Boti Fry, Chicken Dum Biryani, Mutton Mandi, Paneer Tikka Kebabs, and Schezwan Egg Fried Rice and I must say, every single dish was flavorful and authentic. I’d rate them 4.5/5 overall for both taste and presentation.
To top it off, the total bill was just $140, which is way cheaper compared to most restaurants here and considering both taste and value for money, it was totally worth it!
As we were leaving, the server chased us down to ask for a review even before we had tasted the food. When we got home and tried the food, it was awful. There was no dum, no proper masala, and the taste was extremely bland. The mutton tasted like it had been cooked a week ago, and we all ended up with food poisoning.
I strongly do not condone this behavior or the way the food was served. I highly recommend that people visit this restaurant with caution, as many of the reviews appear to be paid for or written after staff pressure customers to leave positive reviews. I will never visit or eat from this restaurant again.
Since it was late and no other food options were open, we decided to order anyway two goat biryanis and one chicken biryani. Then the guy suggested we take a “goat family biryani” instead, and we clearly told him we wanted SINGLE portions. He said okay, billed us, and everything seemed fine until he brought the order and admitted he gave us the FAMILY goat biryani instead.
What kind of nonsense is that? We didn’t even have the energy to argue, so we just took it. Then he had the nerve to ask us to leave a Google review because he “gave” us the family pack! Like, dude, maybe focus on customer service first. As we were leaving, he actually stopped us again and showed us a QR code to scan and review them right there. At 11 p.m., after all that? Unbelievable, We told the staff member directly that we only write reviews after tasting the food, then left the restaurant.
To top it off, the biryani was awful, nothing close to real biryani. The goat pieces tasted reheated, probably something pulled from the fridge and mixed with rice. Totally disappointing. We’re never going back, and we’re definitely telling our friends and family in NJ to avoid this place.
Tonite we ordered special kababs, chicken dum biryani, panneer appetizer and veg fried rice. The veg fried rice was too spicy.. never ever had such hot stuff at Indian or Asian restaurants. The biryani was awful, the panner dish was soggy but bright red colored. But the worst was the “kababs”. There was nothing kabab about it! It was perhaps afternoon’s tandoori chicken rehashing into kababs with bones and all drenched and cooked in a red sauce and onions. You call that kababs?
