With so many incredible Indian restaurants in the New York City area, I knew I had to end my trip with a bang and go all-out. Join me as I eat Indian food for 24 hours in Parsippany, New Jersey!
Joining me is my friend Nisha, who told me that Parsippany is home to upwards of 10,000 Indian-Americans. Along with us were her husband Josh and my videographer, Yves.

We started at Dhaba Express, which is owned by my friend Ankush! His chefs would be making us roughly 10 dishes. Everything from the curries to the naan looked so good!
Our dishes included chole bhature, aloo paratha, achari mushrooms, and more. We started with chole bhature, a dish I first tried on the streets of Delhi. I loved the chickpeas and light gravy. The bhature was doughy and tasty!
You eat the aloo paratha with dahi. It was stuffed with potatoes, chilies, cilantro, onions, and a delicious masala. We followed that with a creamy lassi and the murgh khurchan pav, which is a toasted bread bun with a delicious and buttery chicken keema.
The tandoori chicken wings, achari mushrooms, and soya chop malai were next. The soya chop malai was creamy and incredible, while the achari mushrooms were smoky with a nice marinade.
I also loved the smoky tandoori chicken wings and mango chicken! The coconutty kori gassa took me right back to Kerala! It was my favorite so far!
Then, we headed to Jashan by Dhaba, another of Ankush’s restaurants. But first, we stopped at Delight Big Bazaar, the largest Indian grocery store in Parsippany. We saw lots of produce, like chilies. I bit into one and it almost killed me!
We also saw rose syrup, which they use to make falooda, idly rice, basmati rice, snacks, chaat mixes, and lassi! I needed the lassi after that pepper! We also saw Desi ghee, sweet chilly sauce, stainless steel cookware, and tons of spices!
As we continued, we also saw pani puris and them making kachoris. There’s also a mini bazaar where they sell clothing and jewelry! I bought my daughters some bangles.
Next was Jashan by Dhaba for lunch, where there was a party going on! After visiting the kitchen and sampling a bit of chicken, it was time to eat!
The lamb chops were moist and covered in an amazing masala. They were great with mint and tamarind chutneys. The paneer akbari was stuffed with three types of cheese and was very unique! I also loved the tangy and smoky tandoori chicken with the tamarind chutney!
The chatpata chicken came with lots of veggies! The honey crispy vegetables reminded me of honey chicken. Then, we jumped on the curries starting with the tender and moist bone-in butter chicken.
The goat curry was unreal with the sweet and nutty kashmiri naan. I loved the shaam savera kofta (dumplings in cashew gravy) with kashmiri naan and roomali roti. The gravy was good enough to drink!
I loved the paneer curry too, and added some rice to the gravies. Then, we finished with fresh lime soda before heading to House of Biryani’s & Kebabs. On the way, we passed a Hindu temple!
They serve lots of Hyderabadi food here! After visiting the kitchen, we enjoyed some haleem, Chicken 65, roast mutton, and gobi. The Chicken 65 was so flavorful, and the mango lassi cooled down my mouth. I loved the gobi, but the roast mutton was nice and spicy!
The haleem was thick and pasty, and the tandoori cornish hen was so tasty and spicy. Their lamb chops blew my mind and the mutton biryani was fatty and flavorful! Then, we finished with kheer, a type of sweet rice pudding!
