Biryani Darbar

"Biryani Darbar serves 15 different biryanis, but no matter which protein you go with, you’re going to get a giant mound of perfectly spiced rice that’s fantastic on its own. All 15 types, along with the rest of the menu at this spot in India Square, are available for pickup or delivery every day." - matt tervooren

"This Jersey City spot has 15 types of biryani available for delivery and takeout, so order at least a couple and play your very own version of American Idol in your apartment. You’ll have to decide which roommate is Simon Cowell - that’s something we cannot do for you." - Hannah Albertine

"The chicken biryani here has a rice-to-meat ratio of shoppers-to-checkout lines at Whole Foods, but we’re not complaining. The heavily spiced rice, which you should make even richer and spicier by adding yogurt and chili-peanut sauces, is very enjoyable on its own. The pieces of tender, juicy boneless chicken hidden are fantastic, and that’s only one of the 15 types of biryani at this bright, casual spot in India Square, so come with a bunch of people and get a few to share." - Matt Tervooren

"Biryani Darbar, which offers a stunning lineup of 15 biryanis, is a great all-around Indian restaurant, and a good place to discover some of the non-vegetarian south Indian staples that are harder to find in the NYC area, like the aforementioned chicken majestic and the spectacularly sour gongura mutton curry. But your exploration should begin with one of the restaurant’s superb biryanis from Hyderabad or Vijayawada." - Robert Sietsema
