Biryani Pot - Parsippany, NJ

I’m a North Indian, but my very first taste of Kerala cuisine happened at Parasshippani Biryani Pot—and what an experience it was! My friends ordered the Kerala Fish Curry ,and from the very first spoonful, I was instantly hooked. One bite was enough to turn me into a fan for life. While waiting for our food, we never felt even a hint of boredom. From the kitchen came a stream of soulful Malayalam songs—most of the lyrics I couldn’t understand, but the vibe was absolutely perfect. It felt like the music itself was part of the recipe. After we finished eating, someone walked over and asked how the food was. The flavours were so spot-on that we didn’t need a second to think—only honest appreciation. And then came the best surprise: the person talking to us, and the voice behind those songs

I've ordered take out from this place over the years and the food is overall disappointing. I often wondered how it stays in business. It's a large space but looks dark and abandoned. Recently when I went, I had to go into the kitchen and call them out! The menu appears to be Telangana/Andhra/SI style but I think there's been some kind of a change in recent months. The Goat and Chicken Biryanis are stated to be Hyderabadi Dum style, however it's miles away from authentic Hyderabad biryani taste. It's a strange Biryani that has soggy rice in a heavily spiced coating. I've eaten Biryani like this in Andhra or Tamil Nadu so if you like that kind of heavily spiced pungent biryani you can try this. But this is definitely not Hyderabadi Biryani - they are just appropriating the word and serving

We ordered some food for a party from this place and year ago, it was good. So we did another order for a new year party in 2026. It was awesome better than our previous order. I came to know that the chef is new, a malayali person (Mathew). It was some taste way back from home. We all loved it. We had some egg biriyani, goat curry, butter nan, paneer tikka malala. Also got some chicken pakoda which was also awesome, finished like a hot cake.

I don't often eat biryani however I really enjoyed my dinner. The vegetarian food is very good and has so much flavor. Samosa are well prepared and delicious. Really good!

Be careful ordering through Uber Eats. They don’t honor their promotions unless you complain. Buy 1 get 1 free ? Yeah, that won’t be fulfilled unless you fight for it Butter chicken and naan were Excellent!
