Rasoi - Jersey City

Chicken Biryani was great, chicken was tender and the spice levels were perfect.

Chicken biryani is a must try dish. The chicken was so tender and tasty.

4 stars is just for food ....we did a quick take out on Saturday night. We had ordered paneer tikka masala and baigan bhaarta. Food was tasty and portion size was decent. When i went to pick up the food, the indoor seating seemed decent. May be worth a try next time. The hand held to receive payment did not work inspire of multiple swipes, so I had to do inside to make the payment and the pick-up didn 't remain a 'quick ' anymore. Invest in better equipment or train your staff not to bend the credit card to get it to swipe?

Good option if you are looking North Indian Cuisie, especially Appetizers, Curries, and Bread. I didn't like the Biryani that much, and the meat in the Biryani, as well as their Tandoor options tend to be overcooked at time really depends on the day. I try to order different Curries and in my recent visit, I had ordered Veg Kolhapuri and Khoya Kaju. Both the curries tasted really good, and I am eager to try other curries they have.

I went to Rasoi with my parents for lunch last week. We were originally headed to the Iselin location but Jersey City was a bit closer to us and it was getting late. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. There was 1 other party when we walked in so we were seated right away. To our dismay they only offer the lunch buffet on Friday-Sunday. The menus still say they offer the lunch buffet on other days but the staff was quick to tell us the menus are outdated. For appetizers we got fried paneer and fried okra. Both were very tasty. They came with different dipping sauces which paired well with both dishes. I ordered the chicken malai kofta and my parents shared the goat curry. It took well over 30 minutes for our entrees to come out. I remember because I had paid for an hour of parking and I was starting to worry that my time would run out. Both the entrees were cooked well and tasted great. The goat was very tender and the level of spice was perfect. The chicken malai kofta tasted great too but my only gripe is that it only came with 4 tiny meatballs. It's served in a decent-sized pot so I was a bit disappointed to find how much little meat I got. Nevertheless, the two dishes were seasoned well so even the broth(? /soup(? was good enough to eat with the included basmati rice. I would definitely come back here to try their lunch buffet. This would be a 3.5 but I'm rounding down because of the slow service. We came in around 1:30PM on a Thursday; they didn't seem too busy.
