Hyderabad House JC

There’s a Hyderabad House in almost every city, even back home in Chicago. so when I was in Jersey City, I went straight to the one here. The food was extremely delicious and truly authentic Hyderabadi in taste. The mutton biryani and chicken 65 were spot on, and the service was really good. The ambience and dining area could use a little improvement, but honestly, when the food is this good, it’s easy to overlook. Overall, a very satisfying experience, highly recommend to anyone who loves real Hyderabadi food!

I usually don’t like leaving negative reviews, but I feel this needs to be shared. We recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. While the staff was polite and the ambiance was decent, we were shocked to find hair in our food. When we brought it to the staff’s attention, the response was not as apologetic or professional as we expected. A situation like this not only ruins the dining experience but also raises serious concerns about hygiene and food safety. I request folks be careful when you get food from here. Hopefully, management takes this seriously and improves their standards.

I had very bad dining experience yesterday. The staffs are very good. But the food quality is too bad. This is not exactly Indian Hyderabad style food. The biriyani too bad teste. I don’t recommend my friends. NB … the management staf. Pls work on your food and if the quality and teste can be improved. You have very good front office staff. Need you to focus on food.🥘

Chapati are prepared from a mix of refined flour and wheat flour. Dal makhani, by far this is one of the worst tasting and smelling dal makhni me and my family had. If there ever be a list of worst dishes mankind prepared? Your dal Makhni would be first on the list, it just dosent taste bad, it feels like SIN!!!

If I could give this place less than one star, Idefinitely would! I wasted $50 for nothing. The biryani was awful, just bones with no meat. The garlic naan was undercooked, and they even overcharged me— the menu said $2.99, but they billed me $3.99! On top of that, the restaurant was dirty and completely unsuitable for dining. To make things worse, they added a service tax and other extra charges that were not mentioned anywhere on the menu. This felt like a total scam. Absolutely do not recommend!

Absolutely the best goat dum biryani…tasty, big portion and reasonable price. Andhra fish curry was also good and complementary sheer khurma was amazing, homemade taste.

We ordered Dum Lamb biyani, the rice quantity was very good, and the meat was tender, and again, the quantity was overwhelmed. The food taste was OK but not similar to Dum Biryani in UAE.

Horrible and absolutely ridiculous. We just got back from the hospital; and me and my wife were trying to order from here. We successfully placed the order on DoorDash (with a BOGO promotion). After keeping us waiting for over 10 mins, they cancelled our order. When I inquired why they cancelled my order, they said “we sold out of biryani and we are closing early”. The thing is that would’ve been believable but they are literally still open on Uber Eats and we just placed an order for a single dish without the BOGO promo and it successfully delivered. Absolutely horrible practice and it is shameful

The Friday Mandi gets justified raves, and the Hyderabadi Biryani is super authentic for those in the know. I would also recommend the Chicken 65 as an appetizer. Finish off with the Irani Chai for an aftertaste that will last! Prices are reasonable and the service is most pleasant.

Ordered the supposed "protein packed" dal panchratan, and my meal was nothing but liquid with a few lentils. And the roti I had was very unsatisfying. Garbage. Wouldn't waste another dime here.

Friday special mandi. Stopped in and got the chicken Mandi. It's 19.99. They have 10% off with cash and after taxes ended up being around $19.20 . Honestly for the price you get a large amount of rice, and I think it was 8 pieces of chicken . The sauces and the mandi go together and you'll be left a with a satisfying meal. However, since I'm used to eating Kerala mandi, this isn't for me. I'm also not a fan of the olive taste the rice has . Maybe it's from the dried lemon?? Not sure, but I do recommend this place for the price you pay and the quantity you'll get .

The egg biryani is so delicious! You can taste the fresh spices, plenty of heat, well-roasted eggs, and the perfect texture on the rice. I also really enjoyed the salt lassi - it's a bit thicker than I've had at other places, and it's also packed with flavor. This is one of my favorite places to have biryani in the area.

Best Hyderabadi Biryani in New Jersey as a Hyderabadi myself i was searching and tasting Biryani everywhere in city but so far this is the best i could relate to the similar taste of Authentic Hyderabadi Biryani ,worth trying im sure u won't disappoint..so give it a try

I just had Hyderabad House JC food. Everything was excellent! I highly recommand this restaurant.

Pretty good. The guys there are friendly and my biryani wad enough for 2 days lol. Quite tasty. I really like the way they seemed to be making the biryanis per order. The restaurant itself is probably not the newest inside but for a fast casual meal it seemed okay. I took my food to go but I would not mind eating inside. Hopefully they have some success

I live close by and always smell the great aromas passing by. It was 10pm on a Sunday and I coming home from work and was hoping they were still open. They were opened but cleaning up. They only had the goat biryani left, which I ordered, they also threw in some Kaddu Ki Kheer for dessert! The biryani was enough for 2 days and delicious! I really like unassuming places that serve their own people.. I'm going back soon...

Amazing! Authentic tastes! Took me back to India in the first spoonful itself. Can't recommend enough. Very small and unassuming from outside. Don't let that fool you. The food is out of this world!

This is my favorite Indian spot in JSQ. Staff is super friendly, food is top notch, and its all competitively priced for the area!

Bad food. That is enough to describe this place. It is a delivery based business and there is nothing Hyderabadi about their acidic food.

One is ensnared by the authoritative regional Hyderabadi menu, into a gloomy cave of dashed expectations thereafter. The gongura chicken arrives bewildered, already shredded in a pre-prepped vat, now peremptorily dunked in an over-reheated sour mash. Saddening further, is a melancholy dumb biryani rice, bone dry, innocent of flavor, whose only job is to cloak the exceedingly charmless meat pieces from the aghast eaters eyes. The yoghurt and salan condiments are frozen possibly with fear, of any mingling with the mains, and the loathing is mutual. The paneer kulcha arrives, protesting of being rushed uncooked, scantily dressed with a fairy dusting of paneer within. One pays up fast to leave the cave untainted, but a wisp of despair whispers after, "duped again!"

Amazing and authentic Hyderabadi food. Quality, quantity, presentation and packing was really great and thoughtfully done. I had ordered chef special goat biryani haleem marag Paya and Qubani ka meetha My favorite was haleem, Paya, marag and biryani in that order. If you are from Hyderabad, you will really appreciate the haleem. It is the best haleem I have tried in the US, period. The Paya was so tender and nicely cooked. I loved how the spices don't dominate the dish but add their subtle flavors. Thank you Sajjad bhai and Abbas bhai for doing a great job. They are really nice and down to earth people.

The biriyani is amazing. Best I had yet. Ordered more food from here just because it was so good.

Came here for the Hyderabadi Biryani. The spices smell strong, but the biryani itself doesn't have a very strong or unpleasant taste. The butter chicken is okay, but I did not order it again the next visit. I would not recommend the paya/nihari which is neither paya nor nihari and doesnt taste great. Their Chili Chicken Dry is super good and something that will have you coming back. The Samosa Chaat is also good, but not the greatest compared to other restaurants in the area. Everything except the Chili Chicken Dry, Goat Dum Biryani and the Samosa Chaat that I've tried is overpriced and not worth it for the amount you get. Food aside, the atmosphere is not enjoyable. There's a TV playing bollywood songs on full volume and the songs arent family friendly either. It was pretty awkward for the full three minutes Besharam Rang was playing with a bunch of old uncles and aunties present in the same space.

They're not kidding when they say they can bump up the spice level. Got their extra spicy vegetable biryani and their irani chai. Heavenly! Highly recommend this place!!!
