"Having ordered for Rice and Chicken (gravy), I was given Rice and Chicken fry."
"Yummy and spicy Indian best Indian restaurant in north jersey"
5 Awesome food... We ordered egg biryani, house special chicken curry, garlic naan, chicken biryani. The biryanis are damn tasty and the curry was mouth watering. I know some people are not great fan of South Indian food,the house special chicken curry is kinda south indian style and I loved it. I would suggest this place to all the biryani lovers.
4 Food is excellent. Known for biryanis. There is natu kodi chicken Biriyani which is not dum biryani yet tastes good. Double ka metha dessert tastes good too though not authentic style. Ambience is okay. Restrooms need more attention. Management/servers are friendly. This is like a super busy restaurant. Fast going. It is located on a busy Indian street called Newark avenue where the street has all the Indian stores.
5 After reading the old reviews I was scared to go in but turned out to have a great experience ordered couple of starters and biriyanis everyone enjoyed it If you want to eat something Hyderabad style this is a go to place and the waiters were so friendly and polite
4 If you’re looking for an authentic Indian cuisine experience then I’d totally recommend this place especially if you’re into biryani. Their Chicken Dum Biryani is just amazing and the flavours remind me the taste of Hyderabadi biryani so if you’re a biryani lover definitely try their chicken dum biryani without failure. Their Vegetarian dishes is just as delicious .
5 Absolutely loved my experience at Biryani Pot! The food was incredibly flavorful — especially the biryani, which was rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. The service was prompt and the staff was very courteous and friendly. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a relaxed meal with friends or family. Definitely coming back again soon! Highly recommend it if you’re craving authentic Indian flavors.
4 There were many restaurants in jersey city indian street but most of them are falling apart in keeping up with the tastes. Biryani pot was one restaurants which is still standing out and tastes amazing for biryanis. Try it out. I got the vegetable biryani picked up but they missed giving raitha and salan which is very disappointing and hence 1 ⭐ less.
5 Biriyani Pot never disappoints! I especially enjoyed the Vijayawada boneless chicken biriyani and the boneless special biriyani—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly delicious. The staff was extremely kind and friendly, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place for biriyani lovers!
4 They have good biryani or classic fried rice , however their crispy chicken lacks a bit of spicy and is rather Sweety. Maybe it is the time when we had the food here. Also the ac was broken so we had to bear with the heat and eat the food. Overall it was decent for you to try another place to eat. Menu has limited options so not much to give a thought to. It is usually busy
The biryanis, especially the Chicken Dum Biryani and house special chicken curry, are highly recommended and loved by many visitors.
It works well for both quick bites and relaxed meals, with friendly table service and a cozy, casual atmosphere.
The restaurant is often busy, so visiting during off-peak hours or making a reservation can help ensure a smoother experience.
Yes, Biryani Pot is suitable for groups and families, with amenities like wheelchair-accessible seating and high chairs for kids.
They provide wheelchair-accessible entrance, seating, and parking, and accept credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments.
