Hyderabad House JC

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!

The food here is exceptional; it is very delicious and tasted like authentic Hyderabadi food. We ordered the mutton mandi, dum ka chicken, and papdi chaat. Each item was good quality, and the portions they provided were generous. The wait time can be a bit long, unfortunately, but the good quality of the food almost makes up for it. However, one thing which I was disapppointed with and did not appreciate, was how once my order was finally ready it was left on a table in the back without me being informed; I'm not sure why they went through the effort of asking my name for the order if they didn't even seem to bother calling my name out when it was ready. I also wish they wouldn't nickel and dime customers with credit card transactions fees.

The biryani was extremely disappointing! It contained random pieces of meat, and I suspect there might have even been beef in the chicken biryani. Based on previous reviews, it seems like they may use leftover meat in delivery orders. One review even mentioned finding plastic in their food, which raises serious concerns about hygiene. FYI: My food was served by Nasir Abbas as per the reciept

Eat whatever you like but never order Haleem. Looks like they are using readymade Haleem and mix chicken or goat based on customers order. I ordered goat Haleem, the goat literally test like goat curry or goat qurma from Haleem.

I had lunch here and the meal was a delight! The staff were very pleasant, and the atmosphere is fast casual. The food was great! I cannot compare to a meal from Hyderabad, but in comparison to other Indian Restaurants I have eaten at I was very impressed. Every bite tasted fresh and flavorful with spices! The heat was perfect for me, but I like some kick to my food. The yogurt sauce was light and refreshing and added the soft flavor to each bite of rice and goat. The Samosa Chaat had tons of flavor, and I loved that it wasn’t overly sweet or heavy. The Chai Tea was again packed with flavor, and they make it so you add your own sugar. I prefer that so it doesn’t taste like you’re drinking sugar. Overall I’m very impressed since this place is not in the heart of JC or even Little India. It’s a very nice gem to the neighborhood.

This offers a mix of hits and misses. Chicken 65 impresses with its flavor, though the sauces could be toned down to let the dish shine. Haleem earns points for taste authenticity. The star, however, is the Dum Biryani, especially when ordered with double masala for a spicy kick. Service is decent, though the ambiance could use some enhancement. Overall, it's a solid choice for good Indian cuisine, with some dishes standing out more than others. Note - Mandi’s are only available on FRIDAYS. I didn’t get a chance to try it out.

I recently purchased a buy one get one free Chicken Dum Biryani deal, but unfortunately, the taste was extremely disappointing and it was the worst biryani I've ever had in my entire life; a complete waste of $20 that would be better spent elsewhere.

Authentic Hyderabadi biryani, good taste and quantity was good. Best Biryani in Jersey City

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!!!
