Laree Adda - Indian & Pakistani Restaurant

The Paya Nihari combo here is unmatched. I have tried many places, but the spice blend here is unique it’s flavorful without being overly oily. The meat was falling off the bone. Fast service and consistently good quality. This is now my go-to spot for desi comfort food. Ms. Shreya served us and her service was absolutely amazing! Thank you

Mixed experience at Laree Adda. The ambiance is vibrant and service was friendly. We ordered Chicken Hot & Sour soup (served only slightly warm, not piping hot as expected, which was disappointing), Shikari Lamb chops, Mix grill, Dum Chicken Biryani, Phajjay Ke Paya (goat trotters), Khamiri Roti, Sweet Lassi, and non-alcoholic Mint Margarita. The drinks stood out…..the Sweet Lassi was creamy and refreshing, and the Mint Margarita was zesty and well-balanced, definitely better than the food. Unfortunately, the mains were below average: flavors lacked depth, biryani was bland, grills were okay but not memorable, and paya didn’t hit the authentic punch. Decent spot for drinks, but food needs improvement for the price. I am not planning to return any time soon.

Coming from the Toronto area, where there's way more Indian/Pakistani options, I had high hopes for this restaurant. Unfortunately, it was an underwhelming experience. The pay upfront model doesn't work well with this type of cuisine. It means going back to the counter if you need to order more of any item. I think if the staff had at least dropped by once to check if we needed anything, that would have been satisfactory. As someone born in Pakistan, if you're looking for authentic flavours, this didn't cut it. We ordered the Chicken Tikka masala which felt bland in flavour. The mango lassi did not taste like mango lassi, barely any real mango in there. On the plus side, the food felt fresh, the garlic naan was decent and prices are reasonable. Can't see myself coming back however.

We went there for a quick snacks after work in the evening. Food tasted so good. Everything was so fresh, and it’s pretty much reasonable. I would love to go again for a proper full meal.

Awesome desi food in Jersey City. Every time we are in the city it is must to visit this place with delicious desi food especially Nihari, chicken tikka masala, kadai. Don’t forget to have doodh-Patti chai, must in winters! Service is top class! Highly recommended!!
