"Multiple are the muttons at this Garden State biryani chain in Jersey City’s India Square, located at the bottom of the hill in a well-furnished corner storefront. Two styles of southern Indian biryani are covered, but you’ll also find many curries from the same region, some relatively rare in the New York City area. One is gongura mutton curry, in which the thick, dark sauce is fortified with a leafy vegetable pickle with a sour and astringent taste. Indispensable to the cooking of the Andhra Pradesh state, gongura is also known as red sorrel or amaranth. Tart flavors explode, matching the powerful barnyard taste of mutton." - Robert Sietsema
