Laree Adda - Indian & Pakistani Restaurant

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.

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!!

Absolutely loved the food at Laree Adda! The lamb chops were perfectly cooked — juicy, flavorful, and seasoned to perfection. The chai was the ideal companion, rich and aromatic with that authentic desi touch. Chef deserves a huge shoutout for such an amazing meal. Can’t wait to come back!

Honestly, I really wanted to like this place, it seemed to give the right “vibes” from the pictures on its website. But the food was substandard. We ordered the mixed grill. The chicken drumstick was fresh but the rest of the meats were clearly stale and microwave heated. We could hear the microwave beeping constantly in the back.

The fish was over spiced and the breads weren’t seasoned properly. Even the rice was stale and microwaved.

They didn’t serve us any water.

Our server was friendly but this is a pretty amateur gig.

And I disagree with another reviewer who said that the portion sizes are generous, they are not.

There are way better Indian restaurants in the area.

Oh, and they don’t serve alcohol and they won’t allow BYOB.
