Classic Nirala Restaurant

The food was nice and delicious. The service was fast but the waiter who took care of us was not interested and friendly. The restaurant was nice but a little more attention could be paid to cleaning. Thank you

Food was okay. Prices were fine but adding 18% service charges to the bill for 2 people wasn’t a pleasant experience. I visited many restaurants in NJ and they charge minimal service charges for people of 5 or more only.

The best Briyani in all of NJ. The chicken to rice proportion is unbelievably generous. They use boneless chicken unlike most places that use boned chicken and half your Briyani is just bones. You can choose your spice level. They also offer salmon, shrimp, vegetable, beef and goat briyanis. Everything is boneless and they use high quality meats. I've never experienced a goat smell. Their beef bihari kabob is unique as if you are eating a skirt steak in desi spices. They also have legit American-style steaks on the menu.

The beef biryani is very good, tender and flavorful. Food is always fresh and never frozen or highly processed.

Scamming owner that charges 18% incremental tips/service charge & demanding it as part of the bill without regard of the at best average to quite bad service and none attention to customers. Stay far and away from this place.

Took my niece here for Birthday a week ago. The young lady who seated us, then served us was a quiet but pleasant woman. First time trying Pakistani influenced Indian food.

We ordered Beef Nahari, chicken Kawa teema, & Butter Paneer. Two dishes w/Naan & 1/rice. The beef dish, while I thought the Beef portion was a little small, it was swimming in an amazingly delish sauce & price is very reasonable, so I dug in, the meat was tender & delish. Naan was, I think, the best I've ever had. Used it to get every drop of the sauce. Chicken was uniquely seasoned & also delish. Butter sauce w/paneer equally outstanding, & the rice with it was light, fluffy & grains properly separate.

Meal was hauntingly amazing. Keep thinking about it. Want to go back to try other dishes with great expectations. This was my experience.

Very expensive place. We were very excited and went to Google reviews after seeing the Pakistani restaurant fake Nirala but the food was very expensive. Biryani was not fresh. Beef Steak too much oily, poured lot of oil on it, then the butter was thrown from the top, and very expensive, chicken and goat Karahi was nasti, Samosas was reheated microwave
And But they 18% service charge is applied.
