Mostly seems like a takeout joint but we ate in the restaurant and it was nice. The food was pretty good and the garlic naan was amazingly crunchy and actually garlic-y

A little gem in downtown Jersey City. Right in front of the municipal hall. Atmosphere is great, place is clean, service is quick. Went here Sunday afternoon for a late lunch and there was quite a crowd. Can't imagine during lunch and on a busy weekday. Love the interiors and the place doesn't have that distinct smell of spices when you come out. Food is good and warm when it's served. Servers are polite and pleasant. Overall a good Indian-Pakistani go-to place downtown

Once again, my friends and I chose Laree Adda a week ago to have a nice Iftar meal together. Reservation was super easy to get, we just called the morning before and when we arrived, a table was set out for us already with dates in little bowls, which was so thoughtful. We ordered the family grilled platter to share, as well as some samosas, chai, and two types of chicken Karahi, as well as variety of breads. Service was painfully slow this time which is to be expected as literally literally everyone in the restaurant was trying to eat at the same time and it was a packed house not only with Dine In orders but also with people walking in to take pick up orders. The person at the cashier did his absolute best and we are so grateful for his kindness. I always order the samosas here because I absolutely love their tamarind chutney. Chicken was absolutely delicious, just needed a little bit of salt, but the gravy was made perfectly well. The grilled items were amazing. I really enjoyed the lamb chops, they were huge and fatty and perfectly grilled and rendered I was so impressed. Easily one of the best lamb chops I've ever had and they're not even super spicy or insane with the seasoning. It's just that they are cooked to absolute perfection which makes a world of a difference. This place has always been my go to but now that I have tried their dinner entrées, rest assured they have a loyal patron in me. If you are in New Jersey, this is the spot to get your Pakistani food fixed.

I love Pakistani Cuisine, and I am always on the lookout for new places to try. Ordered one of the Combo Platter and Biryani, along with some of their Desserts. I liked all the items I tried. Restaurant itself looked really nice and they have some really interesting Photos on display. Authentic Pakistani

They have the best karahi and the service is great! Today we tired the chicken biryani and it was spot on. A must try ... Also tried karak chai and sweets.. loved everything ! Definitely coming back for all of the above ! Ambiance is really nice, good music, good vibe.

Wow, a Pakistani restaurant that overwhelmed in flavortown! Didn't think much about this place so came in with no expectations, but left feeling amazed. Sooo much flavor and originality comes out of this place. The service makes you feel like you are at home and welcomed with open arms. I wish they had a more authentic decor to give it a notch above the rest. Everything was made fresh and I loveddd their different Naan breads, couldn't get enough of it! Plus their housemade drinks are the bomb! As for the main courses, just finger licking yummy! FYI: Their food can be overly spicy to ones liking so let your server know how spicy you like it.

Chai made to order takes about 10 minutes, but it is well worth the wait. It's difficult to find a non-pre-mixed chai that can be done with no sugar. Here, they insist that you add the sugar afterwards to your liking. This was the first time I've had the pink Kashmiri tea! Initially, I thought this was only a sweet shop, but there are full meals and a large layout with tables. The restaurant looks like there is room to expand or use space for catering if they need to. The Mithai or sweets consisting often of milk solids, flavoring, and sugar are the star of Laree Adda. We ordered a warmed gajar halwa, the Kashmiri chai, and a masala chai. We agreed that the masala chai could use slightly more cardamom and spice, but perhaps if I had let it rest in the pot longer more of the spice would come through. The gajar halwa was tasty but more solid than either of us had tried before. This was a perfect place to pass the time and have a pick me up for the afternoon!
