Biryani Twist — Restaurant in Harrison

My go-to place for Indian food was unfortunately closed tonight so I decided to try Biryani Twist and boy was it a twist. Considering I had never eaten here, I thought it would be smart to order the most basic of items, I mean how can you make Tikka Masala taste bad? Am I right? Well, turns out you can!

To start off, I ordered Samosas which were at least edible, then when I saw the mint chutney I actually thought they had mistakenly put ahi verde in my bag but then I realized this wasn't Peruvian food so that couldn't be the case. However, it definitely did not taste like ahi verde, or mint chutney, and was pretty liquidy, no mango chutney either so that was that. Next, was the Chicken 65, to make it simple I would say its equivalent could be described as eating spicy popcorn chicken that is oily but not crispy. In addition, I ordered plain naan as they did not have garlic naan, and I have no complaints about the naan, it was fluffy and fresh'ish.

Finally, for the main course, I must talk about the Tikka Masala. It is hard to describe in words my feelings while tasting this Tikka Masala, but what I can say is I was both emotionally and physically disturbed by it. As you can see by the pictures it had a good deal of oil, but even after much mixing and reheating, it still managed to be as liquid as the water I needed to drink afterwards. I had ordered medium spice, and it had some spice to it, but what it did not contain was flavor, heart, soul, or life. In the movie Ratatouille there is a scene where the food critique Ego takes a bite of his dish and is so moved by the flavor and taste of the dish that he has a sentimental flashback to his childhood and tasting his moms wonderful cooking. When I took a bite of this Tikka Masala I had a flashback to the time I fell off my bike as a child and broke my wrist and arm in 2...

Biryani Twist offers a delightful culinary experience that is sure to satisfy your Indian cuisine cravings. The restaurant's pricing is commendable, striking a balance between affordability and quality that is often hard to find.

The Chicken Lollipop is a standout dish, marinated well and is a joy to the palate with the schezwan chutney. The Biryanis don't disappoint either. Chicken Hyderabadi biryani is flavourful and well infused with tender pieces of meat.

The Chilli garlic noodles, while delicious, could use a bit of tweaking. They are indeed tasty, but tend to be a tad oily, which slightly detracts from the overall enjoyment of the dish. A little less oil could elevate this dish to new heights.

The Naans are delicious and well-cooked, but are somewhat small in size. While this doesn't detract from their taste, a larger portion size would be appreciated.

In conclusion, Biryani Twist offers a delightful dining experience. While there are minor areas for improvement, the overall quality of the food, coupled with the reasonable pricing, makes it a destination worth visiting for any lover of...

I recently ordered a few dishes from Biryani Twist, including the Triple Schezwan Rice and Paneer Makhni Biryani. Both were delicious, and the Triple Schezwan Rice especially stood out—it was one of the best I’ve had, very close to the authentic Mumbai Indo-Chinese flavor. The salt could have been a touch more, but otherwise, everything was spot-on. I’d recommend picking up from the restaurant, as there’s no Wi-Fi and parking can be tricky to find. They have a few tables for seating, but this is definitely a go-to spot for tasty Indian takeout. The prices are a bit high, likely due to post-COVID adjustments across Indian restaurants, but the portion sizes...
