The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week - Eater NY

"Pariwaar Delights specializes in southern Indian food with an emphasis on the city of Hyderabad. One of several great dishes some friends and I tried on a first visit was the classic Hyderabadi dum biryani made with goat ($14.95). The hump of basmati concealed lots of spicy dark meat; garnishes included purple onions, lemon, and fresh cilantro; and the usual pair of spoon-on sauces were provided: tart yogurt raita and a light peanut sauce called sala." - Eater Staff

The food was fresh, and served warm, great atmosphere and the staff was friendly and respectful. Great place for family dining. Will visit again. I went during Ramadan, and they provided complimentary dates and fruits for breaking fast.

Food was really flavourful. We had the best service from Raju Garu. He made sure we got everything on time. We ordered mutton paya, tandoori chicken, and chicken mandi. We loved the mutton paya ❤️. It was super flavourful and all the spices are on point 🤤. Definitely a must visit place.

The shrimp fry from appetizers, patthar ka gosht, and pariwaar special boneless chicken biryani was delicious. This was our first time here. The moment we entered the restaurant there is an unpleasant smell and the ambience is kind worn off compared to what you see in the other reviews. The waiter did a one man show and did a great job.

Hands down the worst meal me and my friends have had on this entire trip. From the moment we walked in, it was a disaster. We stood waiting for 10–15 minutes with zero acknowledgment from the staff and eventually had to seat ourselves. The table was bare—no water, no cutlery, not even a menu in sight. Just one waiter was struggling to manage the entire place during peak hours, and it showed. After a ridiculous 30-minute wait, our food (Dal Tadka, Jeera Rice, Palak Paneer) finally arrived—and it was an absolute joke. Completely flavorless, not a hint of salt or seasoning. It was bland to the point of being inedible. This place clearly doesn’t care about service or quality. Never coming back, and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely delicious! The butter chicken was a standout. It was perfectly creamy and bursting with flavor. Be cautious with the spice level. Even the mild spice level had a good kick! The garlic cheese naan was also fantastic and paired beautifully with the butter chicken. While the paneer biryani was good and had a nice texture, we will try a different biryani with a different kind of protein next time!

Not worth the ratings you see, not a tidy place. Colorful but flavorless biryani and wings, wings have too much coating, biryani quantity was good but pricey

So much great Indian food in the area. Pariwaar Delights is another great choice. Slightly pricier than others in the area but still great in taste and the service for take out was great.

The food is ok. Not bad. Tasty but not like wooow. We had Mandi. One was enough for three. The CHAIIIIIIIIIII MAAAAAAN felt like I’m back in Hyderabad. The chai brought back memories. The server referred to drink , was a little doubtful till I took the first sip. But yup don’t exit before drinking the tea if ur a tea lover.

Tasty biryani and massive portion sizes! Located in India Square, this restaurant was recommended as a must try biryani spot in Jersey City and it did not disappoint. The indoor dining area is quite pleasant. The service was slightly slow during lunch time on a weekday as they seemed to have a lot of to-go orders.

Ordered Haleem, Hyderabad Dum Biryani, and Irani Chai. Loved the Haleem, Biryani was just average, and the Chai was definitely below average. I would still suggest this place though since I have a strong feeling their curries and Appetizers will be good too. Service was pretty decent considering the late time and the crowd they had. Atmosphere is regular mid-range Desi restaurant, so nothing fancy.

A restaurant in the busy part of Jersey City's Journal Square. This restaurant is amazing and by far probably my favorite spot Indian spot. The food is flavorful and well cooked. The staff is incredibly friendly and willing to provide recommendations. My family ordered the goat Mandi, some Paneer, Chicken 65, and a chicken biryani. I got some masala soda (not my cup of tea) but everything else was amazing. One thing, parking is a little difficult, so either take the path or fight for parking. Whatever you pick it will be worth the effort. This place is a must go. I will be returning for sure.

This is a huge restaurant, that stays open really late. We were hanging out there till 1am. They have a gigantic menu, with all kinds of Indian dishes listed. Surprisingly the food is not as impressive. We tried the mutton haleem. It was super spicy, probably haleem was blended, cause we couldn't find any chunks. We got the chicken dum biryani too. The chicken was great, soft well cooked. Butt the rice had no real flavor. Also, came with half an egg. The mango lassi was good, thick and sweet. Service is good. Food is served within a decent time. It would be my backup option for dining in this area of Indian restaurants.

Worst food and worst chef behavior I have tried mutton mandi and mutton biryani. The pieces are not at all properly cooked.

Dropped by this place on a Friday night, and I'd say we had a satisfying experience. Food was good and not to mention the service was friendly /quick. Ordered goat fry biryani which was good with excess masala, chicken kothu paratha and Schezwan chicken fried rice were ok ok. Tandoori chicken full came out to be a sizzler tandoori, this one's my fav out of all. The menu here is never ending that they have way too many varieties of veg/non-veg to try. Only street parking was available. Added some of my captures from this place .....

Food (4/5): We ordered the butter chicken, garlic naan, Chicken Malai Tikka Sizzler, and chicken biryani. All of the dishes were quite good! All were flavorful and I especially enjoyed the butter chicken and spicy biryani. The only issue was that the sizzler was spicy. Venue (5/5): It's a spacious venue with plenty of seating and looks nice in terms of the dinnerware setup. Service (3/5): Food took a while, approx 20min, to come out. The server usually only came over when asked or during initial order.

Super solid Indian spot with a focus on biryani although they do offer many other curries. Curries are all quite solid, maybe a smidge more spicy than they are spiced but I was quite happy with the flavor. Meat was also cooking quite well compared to most other Indian restaurants, wasn't blasted to death on a steam tray. Goat especially was tender and, while maybe not juicy, but fairly moist and all of the gravies were satisfying to eat with rice or bread. Biryani portion sizes are absolutely massive and are all served with a raita to help keep things bright. Restaurant is fairly large although and although the decor and seating feels a bit old-fashioned, I would definitely come by again for the food. Service was polite. Most negative reviews I'm seeing are for their delivery which is I suppose something that you can complain about but it doesn't apply at all to the restaurant itself and for the inattentive service but we didn't have any issues at all with just flagging the waitstaff when we needed something, idk seems to be a very American viewpoint. Overall quite happy with my meal here and would gladly stop by again if I'm in the area.

"I want Hyderabadi food. Let's go to Journal Square!"...said yours truly, the textbook definition of a privileged, Manhattan-based foodie. So off we PATHed on a Friday night, and here we wound up. Whoops, Hyderabad House moved. Oh well, we're here already. Let's stay. There was no bad dish. Masala Papad - A crisp, veggie-loaded starter with a great spicy kick Apollo Fish - Manna in seafood form? So perfectly seasoned and cooked, it'll make you cry out Aquaman's name Goat Angara - Tender, gamey, all the things you want your baaah-legged horse to taste like Kodi Vepdu Fry Biryani - Enormous portions of well-spiced basmati, with caramelized onions to boot! Badam Ka Halwa - This was supposed to be Shahi Double Ka Meetha, but I'm not totally complaining, as the Badam was gloriously brimming with the flavors I love most in a dessert (mainly cardamom) To quench our thirst, we got the Irani Chai (decent) and the Sweet Lassi (surprisingly room temperature, but very fresh). Service-wise, this was the typical busy, flag-when-you-need service that only true mom 'n' pop restaurants have. But the food comes out fast and fresh, and aside from the dessert mix-up, there were no other issues. So no complaints. You want to eat here. Come on, New Yorkers. Load up those Metro cards and get on the PATH to the best Indian food in the area (eh, eh, see what I did there?).

Service was horrible. We ordered special chicken biryani, naan, tandoori roti, paneer tikka masala. The tandoor rotis were hard, cold nor fresh. Biryani was not fresh, paneer tikka masala tasted old. They didn't serve side of rice, raitha, salan etc. I mentioned this to the manager and he didn't seem to care. He said ok and then took off. I asked discount with the server and they gave us 10% discount. Avoid this place if possible. They were giving reasons like chef is not weak etc.

Great food. Biriyani is a hit or miss. Tandoori is also on point. But the BEST dishes are the less common items- chicken chettinad and egg goan.

It's places like Pariwaar Delights that make me wish I lived in New Jersey. Or maybe not. For the sake of my health, that is. Not like the food here is particularly unhealthy, it's just that, living close to here would make me very very big in a very very short amount of time. This would be a trek for me normally, but we happened to be in the neighborhood and we had biryani on our minds. When in Rome, amiright? A quick Yelp search brought us to Pariwaar Delights, which came out as a winner with 4 star reviews amongst a slew of other Indian restaurants, literally on both sides of the same block. And this one did not disappoint. We got an order of the chicken biryani, goat fry biryani and a chicken 65 for an appetizer. To begin with, they have many variations of the biryani with the protein cooked in many ways and they all sounded like they would be incredible. But we erred on the side of caution and put in a fairy low risk order. And we loved every bite of it. The biryani, was just perfect, the meat was tender and flavorful, as was the rice. The rice was saffron yellow, flaky and delectable. The chicken 65 was nearly the same as what I grew up eating in India. It is deep fried chicken bites with a red tinge and cooked with curry leaves. Although the curry leaves did not make it into our order here. Not a deal breaker by any means. Just an observation. The portion sizes are generous, the staff is kind and the biryani is legit. They even come with a side of biryani shorba which is a gravy accompaniment and a complete underdog in my opinion. You would almost never see that be served anywhere else. I can't recommend them enough.

Butter Chickeeeeennn!!! It was amazing for my first time trying it. Service was lacking a bit. Cleanliness was not great. Ambiance decent...average Indian restaurant. Came on a Sunday after church with a large group. While we were immediately seated and given still water, they forgot parts of our order, which we decided to cancel after never receiving them. But the guy brought us dirty glasses gripping them by the mouth with his likely unclean hands. One of our crew didn't even receive his main dish so shared among us after being told 3 times his meal was coming. Insane. Otherwise, I was convinced to try the butter chicken and it was delicious as well as served in a pretty bowl. Maybe 2/10 spice level. Serving size leaves enough for next day leftovers.The rice and garlic naan were served to perfection. Go, enjoy

We were so hungry and exhausted after a long day when we got here and the food was comforting and really hit the spot! We had biryani, chilli chicken, and their lemonade. Sooooo soooo mouthwatering and good. The chilli chicken especially was delicious. Giving it 4 stars just because despite it seeming like they had a lot of staff the food took a long time and there seemed to be others waiting as well.

We ordered for delivery and it arrived in roughly 10 minutes from pick up time to drop off. This is to note that it wasn't that long of a time where the food was sitting in someone's car. By the time we opened the food containers, my paneer masala was completely separated. The sauce was legit just two separate colors. This was weird. I whisked it back up and it was fine, but unappetizing to look at. The paneer masala was spicy. And yes, I know, I ordered Indian food, it's spicy. But I wasn't expecting my paneer masala to be spicy? It's supposed to be tomato and cream? Overall, I thought the food was just OK and not worth the price tag. I'd go to my local place instead.

We dropped by this place on Saturday Afternoon to have lunch. It's only a short walk from the Journal Square Station. The restaurant is located in the Little India area and has large in-door space, which can accommodate group of family gathering. We ordered Goat Angara, Punjabi Butter Chicken, and Chilli Garlic Naan. The food was amazing. The chicken was crisp outside and tender inside. The Punjabi Butter sauce was very creamy and spicy (they asked when we ordered which spice level we wanted and we chose Spicy). The goat was also very tender and the Angara Sauce was delicious, not too spicy. The naans were a bit expensive, 10$ for 2 naans. But the taste and fragrant were amazing. The waiting time was around 20'. The staff was ok.

This is a great choice for biryani and has a lot of really uncommon options, even for vegetarians. I had the gobi manchurian biryani. The rice was bursting with flavor and the spices tasted very fresh. Gobi manchurian works great inside a biryani. It's not as crispy as it would be in a dish by itself, but it adds a nice tangy contrast with the rest of the rice. The raita and salan served on the side were perfect. I also had double ka meetha and chaas, which were both delicious and tasted just like the ones I'd have at home. Portions are enormous, so come hungry!

This place is so authentic because they have mysterious bottled water. Can't trust the tap water! The garlic naan is the bomb, so fragrant. Biryani is the spicy rice with chicken that almost looks like shredded cheddar cheese. Maybe some fusion place will put cheese on it in the future. If it's too spicy for you, make sure to pour the yogurt sauce on it or order a mango lassi. Their menu is pretty big, and some of the items aren't always available. I tried to order a chicken kebab sizzler but they ran out. There's free wifi!

While I don't like the practice of pseudonymous restaurants on delivery apps, my initial hesitation about the Pariwaar brand extension called Indian Karahi Taste of North India eased once I got the food. The weekend-only keema biryani has masterful spicing that sneaks up on you. The hot and sour soup can also make you sweat. The creativity extends to beverages; I probably won't have a masala soda every day but it's certainly worth trying. The preparation was reasonably fast and the packaging was extremely careful - hot side hot, cold side cold.

Really happy having authentic and quality Indian food from Indian square in a long time. I tried the goat angara and the chicken dongura biriyani and both were delicious. Can't wait to try more items from the menu!

Indian food is my favorite and I heard Jersey city has always been known for its Indian food. I live in LA, and I actually heard Indian food in LA Is not what it is in Jersey City. And I 100% agree!!! This place is hands down-- the BEST Indian food I'VE EVER HAD. I'm crying I don't live in Jersey City. All of our dishes were mild spicy, but everything still had so much great flavor and a little heat. I sweated, but my mouth wasn't on fire. However, the mild was a little hot for our friend who "says" she can handle spice, but still found everything a little spicy. Tailor to your taste, but don't let that hold you back! We got the goat Angara, chicken korma, saag paneer, mattar paneer, and garlic naan. Amazing, amazing. Ps. I also saw dishes that I had never seen before in other Indian menus in LA, so I appreciated that. This place is authentic!

I have ordered from this place a couple of times and was never dissatisfied. Good flavorful Indian food. The chili paneer and Malai kofta was really good. However this order I received had extremely dry rice in both the biryani dishes. The rice was hard and cold. The goat was overcooked and dry too. Pretty disappointed.

Goat chetinad fun bura I was really good ... we asked for hot still we will say go for hot but extra rice in it. Chill garlic naan was ok as they just sprinkled the chili

I came to this place with 2 of my friends during the evening. The place was pretty empty and there were only 2 tables seated. We ordered butter chicken, garlic naan and boneless chicken Biryani. The portions were big and was very filling, but it did take a while for the food to come out. It took a while because it was fresh. The garlic naan was really good and it comes with 4 pieces for $4. The butter chicken was $18 and it comes with a lot of rice. The chicken biryani came with the yogurt sauce. When I scooped into the middle of the biryani, the rice was mixed with more brownish sauce. The brown sauce was more salty and spicy. The yogurt sauce helped a lot for the spiciness. I really wanted more water because it was spicy for me but the waiter didn't offer more water. They offer water in a bottle and my friends and I had to share the bottle of water. The server was nice but did not check up my table enough. Overall, the food was good and I recommend the biryani if you can handle spiciness.

Basic customer service is non-existent here. When my family and I arrived, no one thought to bring us menus for a few minutes until we had to ask ourselves. We all ordered different biryani dishes and waited about 30-40 minutes for our food. Arrived at the restaurant around 8:50 pm and finally started eating around 9:30. People that came to the restaurant later than we did got their food a good 15 minutes before us. During this whole time waiters were constantly passing by our table and yet not a single one thought to stop by and apologize for the wait or at least let us know how much longer. Again, we had to ask them ourselves about something that should be such a basic rule of restaurant service. I had also ordered chai and that should have only taken a few minutes to prepare, yet it was brought out to me 40 minutes later along with my food. The waiter even asked me if he "could bring it out now"... after I'd waited for it for 40 minutes. The biryani was pretty decent, but the portions were very large. Each dish can feed 2 or 3 people, so if you are not a huge eater or don't plan to take leftovers home definitely do NOT have each person in your party order their own. Again, this is something the waiter could/should have warned us about especially since they could obviously tell we were new customers, but it seems like they just do the bare minimum here. You can easily find cheaper and better biryani in other parts of Jersey, Manhattan and Queens though. And considering the service here, it's not worth it (if you've been to any other restaurant in your life you will notice a significant difference).

From a fabulous food place this has become an ok food place. Have re tried this place a few times in 2021 Quality of the food has gone down considerably We ordered lot of vegetarian and non vegetarian items multiple times this year. The chicken biryani and meat items are not fully cooked sometimes and so quality is somehow compromised . The vegetarian curries are bland too. OK for eating here once in a while if you need Indian food but it's not a go to place anymore ..

Anand Reddy S.

Yelp
Ordered: Starters: kodi vepudu, chicken majestic , chilli panner - all of them are okay Main course : Chicken Mandi, gobi manchurian biryani Chicken Mandi: the pieces were horrible and asked if we can get a replacement. They've taken the half eaten pieces and got the same ones with the chill sauce. Yet, the pieces were horrible. Definitely not going to recommend for someone who wants to try the ones we've tried. The crazy part is, I never knew that a hand wash dispenser can also be filled with hand sanitizer.

First of all the food taste is a big joke ...this restaurant doesn't even know what they are serving. Most important there was hair in the food, and when asked about it the management was like "How can you confirm that is our hair" I took a peak at the people working in the kitchen, and no one was wearing a hair net. This place is unhygienic and horrible.

Tried this place one more time after a message from them and the experience this time was much much better than the previous one. We ordered goat haleem,chicken biryani,chilli paneer and veg fried rice. Goat haleem was delicious.Perfect in every sense.It was sold out by the time we ordered but they could give us a smaller portion and we got to taste it. Definitely going back for that during ramadan. Chicken biryani was good.Wish it was a bit spicier. Chilli paneer and veg fried rice were okay. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

I loved the food and the service here. First, the place is very clean and neatly set up. The waiter/waitress was so attentive and took the time to explain the menu (if needed). The portions were massive. We ordered the corn manchurian as an appetizer and it was outstanding. They mixed it with onions and peppers with just enough sauce. Then I had the aloo gobi (vegetarian)- cauliflower and potatoes in a delicious stew-like sauce. The jasmine rice was phenomenal the garlic naan was even better. My friend had the chicken tikka masala and she loved it as well. We also had dessert- double ka meeta, a sweet bread pudding. Needless to say we barely finished because it was so much food. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area! They give each table a bottle of water to start but they gladly provide more if needed. Side note: the street parking is a bit difficult if you go later in the night or at a busy hour. We went on a Monday when most of the shops nearby were closed, so parking was easy.

We were looking to give a new Indian restaurant a shot for delivery and noticed that the service was being offered from Pariwaar Delights, a place I had previously bookmarked on Yelp. After we placed the order, we were told that it would take 60-75 minutes for our meal to arrive, but the restaurant reached out about 15 minutes into the wait time to say that it would actually be 90 minutes. It definitely took the full 90 minutes for our massive order to arrive, so we did not hesitate to dive right into the generously-portioned dishes. The Tandoori Hariyali Kabab was boneless chicken pieces that had been coated in a green paste of mint, coriander, spinach, and methi leaves. While the marinade was herbaceous and tasty, the chicken was inconsistently cooked, ranging from tender to insanely chewy. Chicken Angara was a house specialty, but still had some sinewy chicken chunks. The flavorful sauce was an interesting concoction made from almond paste sprinkled with turmeric powder, red chili, coriander, and garam masala powder. In terms of vegetarian dishes, the Bhendi Masala consisted of okra, pearl onions, and tomatoes in a creamy stew infused with ginger and garlic. The dish was delicious, but very heavy and swimming in grease. The Chana Masala possessed a similarly thick sauce, but had a pleasant, spicy kick. The accompanying basmati rice was well-cooked and not too buttery. Lastly, we simply had to try various types of flatbread, which also differed in satisfaction. The Plain Naan was doughy and almost raw, but I enjoyed the chewiness. The Garlic Naan was fluffy and well-seasoned. The Tandoori Roti was a bit greasy; the Chicken Paratha contained dried out poultry; and the Chili Garlic Paratha was rather spicy. Overall, Pariwaar Delights cooked with a lot of interesting ingredients and flavors, but did so in a gut-busting and heavy manner. I would order from them again, but they would not be my go-to solution.

Some of the worst food I have ever had. I've had the dishes I ordered many times from multiple restaurants in the area so I'm VERY familiar with how they taste! To add insult to injury I spent $52 when ordering through UberEats. The fried samosas were burnt, the Chana Saag didn't taste fresh and was salty as if the restaurant was attempting to hide the fact the food wasn't fresh. The chicken at the bottom of the rice didn't taste fresh either. It's as if the restaurant said 'Here you go, you don't know what these dishes are supposed to taste like, so you'll accept any garbage we give you'! Never again!

I was visiting from the west coast and was looking for some good Indian food in New Jersey. Pariwar Delights had good reviews so decided to try it out. Chicken chettinad was pretty good. Biryanis (pariwar special boneless chicken and goat Biryanis) were pretty average compared to places like paradise biryani in the bay area. Their service was also pretty slow. One of us didn't get their food until another had finished their dinner. Also, make sure you don't sit on the tables in the middle row, the AC's point directly at the middle row.

Was a big fan of the restaurant, gave it so many tries but the quality has degraded over the past 1 year. I have been ordering the goat dum biryani and the goat pieces are always chewy. The prices have also increased drastically but quality has gone down. Not ordering food from here again as it is a disappointment.

I give this restaurant ZERO stars! My husband and I got take out for dinner. I found a piece of plastic in my food!!! I am absolutely HORRIFIED! I called the restaurant to bring it to their attention and they were very rude, putting me on hold and then hanging up. Aside from the plastic found in my okra dish, the dal was very salty. It is unfortunate that they could care less about their customers health and satisfaction. I most certainly would never eat here again!

Liked the place. Good hyderabadi food. Good proportion. Good staff. And last but not the least, in one of the prime Indian locations in Jersey city. Chicken 65 was tasty, could have been a bit less oily with the chutney freshly made instead of ready made green colored generic stuff. Chicken chettinad was tasty, the spice levels can be increased higher if catering to the likes of Indian crowd. Parivaar special kodi vepudu biriyani was the show stopper. Absolutely loved it.

I would highly recommend this restaurant. The food is good. I got chilli chicken and Kerala paratha with chicken curry. I am rally impressed by their service. We had special needs and a small baby with (tough to eat at the restaurant) but Mohammad at the restaurant was very accomodating and took care of us. I would go again for the food, and also because of great service.

Good service, clean interiors, and good food. It was the first time I've eaten here. While the food was good, I think there are better tasting options on the street. I'm being picky only because of the quality of restaurants on that street. Anywhere else, I would be raving about this restaurant. Pepper chicken was good, Ginger's chicken was good, biriyani was ok.

We went to Pariwaar Delights for dinner last night . Staff was friendly and took our order patiently. We had a new appetizer called 24 carat chicken with Gold foils wrapped. We also ordered Kerala Paratha with Chicken Curry and Idiappam with Fish Curry and both are awesome and you feel the home cooked flavor and also we took Chicken Dum Briyani Takeout and had it today and it's good

This spot has some amazing food! My boyfriend and I were in love with everything we ordered. Especially the desert that's called "Double ka Mithaa"- it's this lovely Hydrabaadi dish with bread pudding. We were happy with the price, variety, flavor, and presentation. The staff was also extremely friendly! Highly recommend this place!

This place is absolutely wonderful. We took our order to go and brought it home, and it was still very hot. Service was above and beyond most places I've been to. Was so impressed with the hospitality and generosity of the people working there. The food was amazing. Cooked to perfection, very fresh, loved the spices, and good quantity. Will definitely be back here, can't wait.

I have had terrible experience at this place!! We went ahead and ordered chill shrimp , natukodi and chicken noodles . I personally asked the owner if indo Chinese was a good option to order and if natukodi was authentic or I could order something else . Here it goes , Natukodi was no were close to authentic and it was basically boneless chicken with no salt . I mentioned this to owner that there's no salt at all and he replied okay let me get u salt instead of redoing the dish and I was very upset by his attitude but we adjusted and tasted chicken schezwan noodles which had lots of black pepper and had no salt again and also it wasn't schezwan noodles( more like regular chicken noodles) so I asked him to check with chef and he went back with noodles and got me vegetable noddles the second time with no salt instead of schezwan chicken noodles . he did not even here my response if I want to have the noddles any more and just took the dish away and got me back the same trash chicken noodles 3rd time( which again wasn't schezwan ) Owner did not have any sense of responsibility towards the food , he did not even apologize for bringing back noodles for 3 times and he goes let me give u 10 percent discount because your not happy and according to him "we should have ordered biryani which is their best dish " . I did ask clearly in the beginning if it's a good option to order indo chinese and he said it's authentic .. Okay so Why wouldn't I or any customer be happy if ur food was nice and you don't even know how to communicate to your customers . if you cannot cook Indo Chinese food then take that off from your menu but don't have pride in showcasing 200 recipes in ur menu and disappoint the customers when everything else is trash!! Also owner gives a shit about wearing mask even when customers are uncomfortable and this is not a place to visit during the pandemic! I am awestruck by his attitude how ever please rethink before visiting

As we just moved from cincinnati, this was the first Indian restaurant we tried as there are so many options unlike cincinnati. We were definitely overwhelmed looking at the menu. It's a 5 page two sided menu with mostly everything you can think of. For this visit, my husband and I decided to try things other than indo Chinese (that requires a visit of its own). We ordered the following: - Mysore masala dosa - was disappointing hence one star less. It was cold in some parts and not your usual Mysore chutney taste on the dosa. I was looking for the spice but it wasn't there. - Tava Fish - This was great! I wish I had asked for more spicy - Goat Angara - Definitely for the win!! Had smoky taste which was on point. It was good spicy and we would come back for this. We took some leftovers and had it the next day and it got even better!!
