Chicken Keema Samosa Chaat
Winn H.

Stopped by Samosa Paradise at the recommendation of a friend for their Chicken Keema Samosa Chaat, which had a wait time of ~ 15 minutes. This is a standard grab-and-go restaurant with the option to eat inside and in the middle of the busy India Square. How good must this be? Good enough that there are many locals that come by, and they have a steady stream of customers. Service was okay, but the food was thankfully better. Chicken? Tender. My favorite was getting a nice blend of warm and cool with the Chicken Keema Samosa Chaat, and within the dish also included a flavorful chutney, subsequently mellowed out by the yogurt. The meal itself was very enjoyable, and it made the interior more tolerable. The tables weren't too clean, and there was grime at places. Regardless, the food was excellent, and that's enough reason to return!

Chicken Keema Samosa- great flavors, nice and hot and sauces are rite nice

Chicken samosa

We went for night snacking around 9:30pm Saturday night, was so glad to see this store, where others were closing. Neat and clean store, menu has different types of samosa, kebabs, desserts, and few types of biryanis. We loved the samosa chat here. The dish was big, topped with all sorts of sauces. It blended so well. Absolute must try. Liked the kheer a lot too. The chicken samosa was also huge. Didn't like it as much, as the skin was too thick and over fried. It's a self service store. Lots of people do take out. Food comes out pretty fast. Looking forward trying other items here.

If you're anywhere near India Square in Jersey City, run - don't walk - to Samosa Paradise. At the owner's recommendation, we tried the original samosa chaat, chana samosa chaat, and papdri chaat, and each one was perfectly balanced - crispy, tangy, and spicy in all the right ways. And not to mention their chutney game was insane! The chicken samosa had a nice kick, and the classic aloo samosa was golden and flaky with a soft, flavorful filling. SERIOUSLY THE CHICKEN SAMOSA TAKES YOU BACK TO PAKISTAN, IT'S SO GOOD!! The surprise favorite? Their chicken biryani. It was steamy, aromatic, and so satisfying, and caught me totally off-guard as we came in for chai-time snacks. Service was quick, friendly, and no-fuss. It's a small, casual spot, but the energy is warm and fast-paced. Exactly what you want from a proper street food joint. Can't wait to go back.

Get the Samosa Chat! Dropped in for a quick snack and this was a great idea. Pretty to start and yum from the very first bite, I almost ruined my evening meal with this appetizer. This hit on all the requirements of a samosa chat; spicy, sweet and tangy. This was definitely more than enough to share as an appetizer or enough for a stand alone meal on its own. The Keema Samosa was just a tad high on the sodium but it was huge! My picture doesn't do justice to the size but this could be double the size of any other samosa I've ever had. I had read of issues with long waits for takeout so I ordered well in advance and didn't have any issues with pickup.

The Famous Samosa (pic does not do it justice)

Famous samosa and chicken tikka roll were very good. The chicken tikka roll was kind of messy to eat.

I love this place because their food is amazing. Here is what they excel at: - best samosas that I have had outside of Pakistan. These warm up well in the toaster oven if you take them home - by extension they have amazing samosa chaat - best Jalebi that I have had outside of Pakistan- warm, crispy, crunchy and holds up well for a few days at home too I recently tried their chicken biryani and I was a huge fan of that too.

Aloo Samosa

Just around the corner from Newark St. in this little gem, I discovered Best Samosas in Jersey City! Diced potatoes and a generous size. Chai was extra hot and made without sugar which can be difficult to find around here. Channa was authentic tasting spicy and flavorful. The plain Naan is made with care and not overly doughy or dry. It's balanced and crisp which paired nicely with the chickpeas/Channa. Chapli Kabab here is made from chicken. It is not something I had tried before. It was adorned with fresh onion and parsley which elevated what would be a greasy chicken dish. The meat was grilled to perfection and crisp. The last taste was the Tikka Roll. The wrap was thin and packed full of chicken, lettuce, and tomatoes. This was prepared slightly sweet which helped to balance the spice from the Channa. Long story short, I will be back!

Chapli Kabab $3 each
George B.

Stopped by the other day to get my usual 3 for $5 samosas and was told it's only available after 7 pm. I walked out . I used to come here once a week and always before 7pm . If you pay cash it's less, make sure they give the cash discount when paying with cash .

Special Thin Jalebi
Sne G.

Best Jalebi's in the area !!! They make them so crispy thin and fresh, melt in the mouth. Gosh, you can never have enough of them. Quick service and has a lot of other appetizers to choose from. I will definitely go back for the Samosas after seeing all the glorious reviews.

Located in Jersey City's bustling India Square, I came here with a friend to try their $21 weekend…read morebuffet. Upon entering the colorful and spacious interior, we were given booth seating. There were a large variety of choices for the buffet, and I tried a little bit of everything. It was all cooked well and wonderfully flavorful with tons of warm seasonings. Stand outs included butter chicken, noodles, curry, and tandoori. I would have liked more seafood options and meat other than chicken though. The Naan was served warm and slightly crisp, while still being soft. I decided to also order a drink called Shahi Falooda. Since I never tried it, I didn't know how it was supposed to look, even though I thought the presentation was a bit weird, as there were pieces of toast dredged in the liquid. When I tried it, there seemed to be all the flavors described, including rose almond milk, tutti frutti, and vanilla ice cream. It tasted creamy, sweet, and unique, with the ingredients mingling well together. Service was definitely lacking. When the bill came, it was listed as a dessert, so I inquired about it. The waiter responded that they did not have the beverage available, so served me something else instead. This really irked me that the waiter would knowingly do this without mentioning up front that they were out of the beverage, allowing me the free choice to either order another drink or not get one at all. The waiter then told us it would be taken off the bill, but a different waiter came out to inform us that the manager would not allow that. While the food was actually pretty good, this was a very upsetting experience and I will not be returning. At least this taught me to always speak up when I have a doubt or question about anything I order.

I had this delivered twice it was so good. Navratan Korma and Tandori chicken were incredible…read more This is some of the best food be it Indian, Thai or Chinese. This restaurant is incredible.

I don't know why people would say Dahi Puri Chaat is good here---I saw that in reviews on Google…read moremaps and so ordered via DoorDash since I had ordered food from a nearby kebab place. Anyway they didn't even actually make the dahi puri! They just put the puri with some potatoes dry in a container and then on the side gave tiny chutney containers for the yogurt, tamarind sauce & green chutney. Ok if you're putting it separately to avoid sogginess then at least give enough for the dish. It was laughable how stingy they were. Dahi puri is supposed to have LOTS of yogurt and instead this minuscule container of completely watery "yogurt" was not even enough to fill 2 of the puri. $10 plus tax & tip for this?? Also since they didn't make anything why did they keep the driver waiting for SO long? What a complete waste of money & time.

I wish that they offered some sort of lunch special, but unfortunately they only have one set menu. They had a lot of seating, and a lounge area as well. I ordered the Deccan special biryani. It comes with boneless chicken, which is actually a favorite of mine that not a lot of places offer. The biriyani was really good, one of the best I've had in a while. It's perfectly spiced and flavorful with a generous portion. It can easily be shared between 2 or 3 people. Overall, I plan on coming back when I'm in the area. The biryanis in Manhattan do not compare to this. I personally do not prefer the Dum style biriyani, so I was very happy the special was a regularly prepared dish. However, they do offer dum biryani as well.
