Pariwaar Delights have consistently proven that they can make real biriyani. I have tried biriyani several places around the world, and I consider the Nawabi style as the original style, and these folks provide this exact style. Their food is always fresh and the portion sizes are fair to the price. The biriyani has enough to serve two portions

This is probably the worst biryani I've had in the area. It definitely wasn't fresh and it had water at the bottom.
I also found small pieces of chicken in my paneer biryani.
Their branch in journal square seems nice but the one in Hoboken is probably the worst Indian restaurant in the area.

We ordered the Yakhani Soup with goat and it was horrible. We were genuinely shocked. The dish was mostly oil with egg and there was not a single piece of meat in it. This was extremely disappointing and not what we expected at all

I ordered Veg Dum Biryani but it was colored rice with some veggies from a different batch of Veg Dum yaniani. It didn't taste good at all. The veggies in the biryani were of a totally different flavor than the rice(rice had no flavor because it was cooked separately). I won't be ordering anything from here again.

No salt. No seasoning. Undercooked. Poor tasting food. Very strange. I love Indian food but I have never tasted such chewy bland food. I am so disappointed with this restaurant especially since I love nearly every restaurant in journal square / Indian square in Jersey city.
