And the prices are not inflated to account for those 2 for 1s! Samosa chaat was very good. Mango lassi was delicious (comes in a house made can, kind of cool). Biryani was very good, perfect spice. Tikka masala I like a little bit sweeter (sorry I know that's basic of me) but I easily could have drizzled a little honey. All dishes came with dal on the side (only $3 to add!). Probably the best value Indian restaurant I've ordered from on this coast. Will definitely be a frequent customer!

The interior was beautiful with pretty decor of delicate designs and a welcoming atmosphere. We started off with complimentary Papadum, a thin, crispy wafers, which I enjoyed with tamarind sauce, as well as a medley of pickled onion, cucumber, and red peppers. For my meal, I ordered the Tandoori Mix Grill, consisting of Lamb, Chicken, Fish, and Shrimp. This was also served with lentils, rice, and salad. Presentation was very nice and portions were quite generous. I really enjoyed the seafood, but there was only 1 piece of Fish and 1 Shrimp. I would have preferred less Lamb and Chicken to have more seafood. Fish and Shrimp were tender and well seasoned. Lamb was succulent, juicy, and full of wonderful flavor. Tandoori Chicken was cooked expertly, with perfect char. I also got to try the Veggie Samosa and Garlic Naan. Samosa was chock full of potatoes, peas, other veggies and the outer shell was satisfyingly crunchy. Garlic Naan was light, buttery, with plenty of yummy garlic. For dessert, I just had to get the special Rose Falooda beverage, which came with Rose ice cream mixed with what tasted like pistachios and vermicelli noodles. This was a gorgeous pink color, and tasted rich, sweet, fragrant, which was simply delightful. Service was solid. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. Everything came out in a timely manner and we were well taken care of throughout. Prices were reasonable.

That sums up my visit to Pariwaar Delights this week. Pariwaar certainly puts on a good face. Sandwich boards outside promise delicious food. The interior is beautifully decorated with modern lighting, furniture and unusual cutlery. At first things seemed okay. My partner and I were seated quickly because...well, we were only one of two whole parties in the place (but it was Sunday evening so read into that what you will). We had seen a sign outside for a Mutton Biriyani, but on the menu they only listed goat. So here's where the initial confusion began. Depending on where you are, Mutton and Goat are not necessarily the same thing. Mutton can refer to sheep while Goat is well...goat. In some restaurants however, the two can be used interchangeably. So when we started to order, we mentioned the mutton and the waiter (who barely spoke above a whisper and had a deer in the headlights look the entire time) kept saying "goat". We went back and forth three times. He could have easily just said "Here goat *is* mutton" but he never did. After that back and forth, we ordered several dishes including the Indian Masala Wings as an appetizer and the Goat Mandi. This is important to my tale. Within 10-15 minutes some of our food came out including garlic naan, sesame naan and chaan masala. All of this was good, but as we ate we began to wonder where our other dishes were. So we ate and then we waited. We waited a half hour. During that time, the waiter never checked on us. Indeed, at times both the waiter and the host/cashier just disappeared into the kitchen for five to ten minutes at a time. When I finally got their attention, I asked them where our Goat Mandi and Masala wings were. For some bizarre reason, they thought we asked for the Goat Mandi to go (we never said the words "to go" when we ordered) and they claim we never ordered the wings (I asked for the wings three times). I told them we'd take the dish to go along with our leftovers. At that point I just wanted to get out of there. I'm not even going to go into detail on the food. Overall, the food was good but definitely overpriced. These were Manhattan prices in Hoboken. It's not worth having to deal with horrible service and okay food.

In a world where some UES people won't travel to the UWS, my main strategic advantage is willingness to deal with long train rides and walks in search of unique cuisine. I've even impressed my LA friend because why would someone in Los Feliz go all the way to Culver City? That brings me to Chef of India. I lack the expertise to convey the intensity of the Chilli Masala Idli but urge you to try this flavor powerhouse. The restaurant's own description doesn't go into much detail, noting "chilli sauce and South Indian spices," but I can respect that they're saving their energy for the cooking rather typing. There's a strong garlic vibe and some onions, but I'm not skilled enough to discern the many other ingredients at work here. I still haven't been to Chef of India in person but it might get the top spot in my Uber Eats Hall of Fame.

The manchurian probably was a bit better than the chili paneer, but it wasn't anything otherworldly. The Triple Veg Fried Rice wasn't too impressive. Didn't have much of a taste to it. Was a bit disappointing and felt dry. Once they finish the transition, hopefully the food quality increases. We shall see.

I have to come right out and say it-- I've never been so enthusiastic about a "take-out" place…read moreafter just 1 meal. Ever. At work, the Godfather wanted to order (unusual for him to suggest it; usually I'm the 1 pushing for us to order out, and he's invariably resistant, although ultimately, he's acquiescent, although just as invariably he blames me for "pushing him into it" as he gobbles down whatever food it was we've ordered). I was willing but wanted to try something different than our usual fare (burgers, Chinese, Japanese, sandwiches). Someone else mentioned Exotic Eats, as a younger co-worker had ordered from there recently and seemed to enjoy what he had eaten. I asked, "Does this younger co-worker have a discriminating palate?" (Not actually being quite the jerk I oftentimes seem to be, I did of course use less pretentious, overblown verbiage in asking my question.) The reply was, "He's young; he'll order almost anything and like it." So...it might be great; it might be horrible. So we took a chance. They deliver, and I was intrigued by their on-line menu. I can't remember what the Godfather ordered, or another co-worker who wanted us to include him in what had once been known as the Lunchbox Mafia, but I ordered "the Island Bowl." Sliced jerk chicken breast on a bed of Mac & Cheese with jerk BBQ sauce. Being hungry, I ordered a side of blueberry cornbread, and the dessert of banana pudding cheesecake. All of it washed down with my ever-present bottle of Poland Spring water. We didn't have to wait long for it to be delivered. As I mentioned in my introductory remarks, I found the food fabulous. The jerk chicken in its BBQ sauce had a tangy sting, but it wasn't unpleasant or pain-producing. And I have to say-- the Mac & Cheese was the best I've had since my late mother used to make it for me in childhood. It's a baked "dry" Mac & Cheese as opposed to the overly sauced (and bland) version you get in most restaurants these days (all it was missing was the crumbled crackers that my mother used to put on top of it). Pure deliciousness, as they say. The blueberry cornbread was the perfect accompaniment, and the banana pudding cheesecake was wonderfully smooth, creamy, and decadent. I wasn't feeling bloated to the point of discomfort once I had finished it all, but I definitely felt "well fed." My fellow partakers were equally as enthused. Prices were fair, portions were immeasurably more than adequate, and the meal was luxuriously satisfying on every single level. As mentioned, delivery didn't take long at all, and it arrived hot. I'm not entirely sure how to classify the cuisine. The website described it as "Soul Food" with a "Caribbean Spirit." A long-time friend of mine is Jamaican, and she used to throw a big feast for friends and family every summer (I was usually the only white person invited, which was never any sort of a problem, although once a little kid of 4 or 5 looked at me with hostility and said, "What are YOU doing here?"), before health issues sidelined that annual event. She was a great cook, and everything was fresh-- jerk chicken, fish, ackee that always reminded me of scrambled eggs, breadfruit, sorrel liquor, etc. Despite the quality of the food served, I never really acquired a taste for Jamaican cuisine (I ventured out once to a Jamaican restaurant in Perth Amboy with friends; they were enthusiastic about it but it wasn't of the same quality as my friend served, and obviously didn't transform me into a "fan"), but I don't know that Exotic Eats is Jamaican per se. But I know that what I had was delicious and filling, and I can't wait to order from Exotic Eats again. Obviously, very highly recommended.
