House of Biryanis and Kebabs Piscataway, NJ

Late-night gem for amazing Indian food! My friend and I stopped by after a late Rutgers class because we were starving, and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the Lamb Shahi Korma with white basmati rice, a mango lassi, and garlic naan. My friend got onion naan and chicken biryani, and everything was absolutely delicious. Now, let me just say, the spice level here is no joke! We’re both Latina and love a little heat, but even the mild had a good kick. My mild was closer to a medium, and my friend’s medium was definitely on the spicier side. Still, the flavor made it worth every bite. The restaurant was clean, service was quick, and the prices were very reasonable. And that mango lassi? Perfectly sweet and refreshing, exactly what we needed to balance the spice. If you’re out late

The food was excellent, but the service left much to be desired. We had to remind the staff to check on our order, and only after some delay did the food arrive. Even water was served only when specifically requested. We ordered the Vegetable Manchurian, Paneer Dum Biryani, Chicken Fry Biryani, and Chettinad Chicken Curry (boneless). All the dishes were flavorful, well-prepared, and served in generous portions. I had also requested a boiled egg with the biryani, which was not provided. When I inquired later, I was told it was unavailable. It would have been appreciated if this had been communicated upfront rather than after the fact. On a positive note, the restaurant offers a baby high chair and ample parking, which is convenient for families. Food - 5/5 Service and Atmosphere - 3/5

This far most the Best Biryani I have had in DECADE. Freshly made, savoring ingredients and mouth watering taste. I could not stop eating. Hats off!! Great Biryani 👍 HBK Special Chicken Biryani $17.99

Finally found a gem in Jersey City! After 7 months of staying here, I finally discovered a proper South Indian cuisine restaurant that truly tickled my taste buds after such a long, long time! I’m genuinely happy to have found this place instead of wasting money without satisfaction at the usual Indian street restaurants around Jersey City. We tried Boti Fry, Chicken Dum Biryani, Mutton Mandi, Paneer Tikka Kebabs, and Schezwan Egg Fried Rice and I must say, every single dish was flavorful and authentic. I’d rate them 4.5/5 overall for both taste and presentation. To top it off, the total bill was just $140, which is way cheaper compared to most restaurants here and considering both taste and value for money, it was totally worth it!

We arrived at 10:30 PM, and the cashier informed us that dine-in was closed and asked us to place a takeout order. We ordered two mutton biryanis and one chicken dum biryani, and we clearly mentioned that we did not want a family pack but two separate mutton biryanis. However, the server did not listen and still gave us a family pack along with the chicken biryani. As we were leaving, the server chased us down to ask for a review even before we had tasted the food. When we got home and tried the food, it was awful. There was no dum, no proper masala, and the taste was extremely bland. The mutton tasted like it had been cooked a week ago, and we all ended up with food poisoning. I strongly do not condone this behavior or the way the food was served. I highly recommend that people visit th
