Kulchay — Restaurant in Jersey City

I found Kulchay via UberEats and was intrigued by their ‘naanizza’. It seemed like a unique take on pizza and Indian food so we ordered for delivery one Friday night. Our order did take a while to come but it was also prime time. The food wasn’t very hot but even so, it was still very good. Here is what we ordered:

Lamb Seekh Kabab Roll (lamb seekh kabab with chutney, peppers, onions on naan) - this was really good. The lamb was very tender and didn’t have the gamey taste to it. Their homemade chutney was a nice addition. The naan was also nice and fluffy

Chicken Tikka Roll (chicken tikka with chutney, peppers, onions on naan) - good but nothing special. I feel like if you grilled up some homemade chicken thighs and threw it on some good naan, it could be just as good. It did have the same chutney as the lamb roll though, so that made it better

Meat Lover Naanizza (a mix of beef mince, chicken mince, and lamb mince stuffed inside a pizza base, topped with beef pepperoni) - this looks tiny for $16 but it’s actually jam packed with meat. Think of a stuff crust pizza but instead of cheese just in the crust, it’s a ground meat mix stuffed throughout the whole pie. This was definitely my favorite. The leftovers still tasted great the next day after a quick reheat in the oven.

Will be coming back to try their other naanizzas, which is...

Today me and my family decided to try this new Kulchay Joint! Very simple small cozy place they have. Few seating arrangements on both sides. We ordered Qeema Naan and Chicken Tikka Naanizza with extra green chilli. Qeema Naan - I loved it but based on my wife and daughters feedback I will go 8/10. They found it quite heavy. While me and my son were enjoying chicken Tikka Naanizza which for a moment I felt I am sitting in Pakistan Pizza Hut when I took my 1st bite. Simply an outstanding job done on that 10/10. Lastly Fahad aka the owner was kind enough to offer us some tea on the house, I was skeptical as usually tea in most places is not very good (here in US) but without any exaggeration I will rate the tea 10/10 as well. Is it pricey, well that can be debatable? May be some items are slightly on the higher side but in the end you are getting good, tasty food (value for your money).

Overall amazing experience we all loved it.

Future enhancements in menu we suggest: kids menu (fries, chicken items etc), some additional dips (with high spice levels) so people like us can dive into those spices. May be Garlic Mayo, Chipotle Mayo, Green Chilli and Mayo.

I must say that the quality of the food at this establishment is top-notch. However, there seems to be some inconsistency in the recipes being used. On a previous visit, I ordered the chess burger nanniza and the meat was placed on top of the nanniza, but on my most recent visit, the meat was stuffed inside. Unfortunately, this resulted in the meat not being cooked to the desired level of doneness. Additionally, the blend of cheese used in the dish has changed since my last visit, with mozzarella now being included.

In my opinion, the restaurant would benefit from being more consistent with their recipes. If they wish to experiment with new ideas, they could consider offering samples for customers to try before fully incorporating them into their menu. Alternatively, they could offer the option for customers to build their own nanniza, allowing for more customization and control over the...
