Famous for its biryani, but the biryani was very average. Decent place for dine in, and good ambience. But the food is pretty average.

We love regional Indian food... one of the world's great cuisines. An Indian-American friend recommended Paradise Biryani Pointe and we just picked up take out. There is a dining area on site as well. The menu is large with lots of choices. My go to is chicken Chettinad, a complex south Indian curry that is hard to find. It was delicious. The Chicken Tikka Masala was excellent too. We love the masala paneer tikka cooked in the Tandor oven as well. I saw a gorgeous dosai being served... next time. A generous portion of rice is included with the entrees. Lots of other good choices on the menu. We are going back... and we live 35 minutes away. Staff was very pleasant as well. read more

ordered online and got there when the food was said to be ready. then was told it would be done in 5 minutes, i've been waiting for the past 25 minutes and still haven't gotten the food yet. I've eaten here before the food is good quality and the staff are kind but the service time is horrible. read more

Food is good but too much ghee which feels strange after and too long a wait for dine-in. Not sure if they do dine-in anymore.

Ww did a take out. Mutton biryani was perfect. Chicken 65 and Chicken tandoori were delicious too. However, Chicken biryani was a bit dry and had to use raita to be able to eat it. Overall happy to have this place near by. read more

Inconsistent quality. We had chicken biryani and a couple of different chicken dishes couple of times. Ordered special chicken biryani , kabab and a chicken dish Chicken dish was great Biryani was dry . The regular chicken biryani we had earlier was MUCH better Kabab was the worst one ... dry, hard. read more

Came back here after a long hiatus. ;) Not much has changed. Food is still amazing. Server and service were baaaaaad...... The waiter may have some attention deficit disorder or something... While taking our order, he would walk away in the middle of a sentence, and come back, and repeat this circus a few times. And he would start laughing on his own, maybe the voices in his head said something funny, who knows, he didn't share with us. Or perhaps the permanent Christmas decorations made him really happy? Who knows. 1-star for service and timing! Customers who came after us were served before us. We had to wait over 40 minutes to get served any food. Don't go there if you're in a hurry. It ain't 'fast' food for sure. ... oh, one more thing. They serve lassis in disposable plastic Solo cups, and serve Chai in paper coffee cups. WTH?? Now, what about the food? We ordered Chana Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani, rice and naan. Everything was soooooooo good! Especially the Chana Masala (chick peas)! OMG! So deliciously spicy! Would definitely go back for that!! (but I'll order takeout next time...) Salted lassi was amazing. Sooooo thick! Great food, in great company, but bad server and service. (OMG! (Some of) This food was sooooooooooooo hard to digest! We went there for lunch. I couldn't eat dinner, and at 10:30pm I was STILL burping this food.) read more

Best Indian food northwest of Boston. Chicken Korma and Paneer Tikka Masala is excellent. Always promptly ready when ordered online. Very happy to have found this little place. read more

Chicken 65 and Chicken Tikka Masala were delicious. Tandoori chicken with chillies and malai chicken were both good. Chicken biryani Goat sukha both had no taste and were dry. Overall, Hot food with good portions, will order again from here. read more

We like their foods much especially chicken wings which is the best. ..............................................

Horrible spl. Chicken biryani... biryani rice mixed with orange colored , too spicy boneless chicken pieces. read more

Chloe bhature was quite good ! Meat centric dishes were average and will do in a pinch but I still need to look for my go-to biryani spot.

Back to me and my friends favorite Indian food restaurant! This time I introduced a friend to the delicious food this place has to offer. She has never eaten Indian cuisine before so we got a few things for her to try. This round we ordered roti and naan. She had never had naan but had had roti so we thought to get both. We also ordered a plate of Somosa. For entrees we ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka Marsala, chicken Biryani and Chana marsala. We also got dessert which was a bread pudding. It was crunchy yet soft and I was totally loving it. She loved everything but the Chana Marsala but that was mine anyways. We all enjoyed the food and she is extremely excited to go back when the time is right. We will be come back! read more

Paradise Biryani Pointe - Indian Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

We went here for the first time and we were disappointed. We ordered paneer 65, tandoori chicken, mango lassi, salted lassi, malai kofta with garlic Naan and chicken biryani ; out of which only one main course dish my husband liked (what they're famous for) -- which was the chicken biryani. Honestly everything was so crappy about the place that I didn't have high expectations a soon as I walked in. The ambience and service are terrible. There was only one server trying to serve at least 8 tables, so everything was slow, things were forgotten and he was just out of the place. I want to specifically say the malai kofta looked so bad and unappetizing that I lost my appetite. And once I tasted it I was assured it's the worst dish I've ever had. It looked like barf. Never going back. Go at your own risk read more

Paradise Biryani Pointe - Chicken tandoori which was old and dunked in oil. Cold and old garlic Naans. Barf looking malai kofta. - Indian Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Can use just one word "Awesome" !!! One of the best biriyani I have ever tasted. Took us a while to reach there :). Tried the paradise special chicken and fish biriyani and it was mouth watering. The long rice, fried chicken, excellent combination of spices and what not, everything made it more flavourful and tasty. Couldn't find a single flaw in comparison with so many "so-called" authentic Indian/Asian cuisine hangouts. They had ample parking. Located right next to Indian Grocery shop, it's a bonus ;). Found the place small and a bit congested. Good for takeout. Kudos to Paradise Biriyani Pointe & team for maintaining the flavours and serving us with some of the finest dishes in the exact way it deserves to be served. read more

Can't ever get enough of the butter chicken curry. I get it with the garlic naan and an extra side of rice. Definitely my favorite dish at the moment. read more

I ordered Goat Biryani for takeout. The biryani was great. I ordered through Yelp but for some reason when i arrived there they said they had not received the order at all but they were very kind and proactive to immediately take my order and prepare it and give it in a few minutes. read more

Paradise Biryani Pointe - Goat Biryani - Indian Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

As a brown guy I was pretty disappointed. I got the goat Biryani to go and the portion was SO small that I almost cried. Don't get me wrong it tasted great but for $17 it was kind of a ripoff. I most definitely won't be back. read more

Paradise Biryani Pointe - $17 for a small amount of biryani... - Indian Near Me - Lowell, Massachusetts

Chicken Tikka masala was mainly just salty. Not a lot of spice or tomato flavor. Pieces of chicken were tender though and not overcooked. Portion size is okay for the price. read more

Best chicken biryani in new england area of all the places i tried so far in last 20 years.

If you've ever missed the biriyani at Meghana's in Bangalore, this is the place to get your fix. Order the Special Chicken Biriyani - boneless and mmmm! Get the Hariyali Kabab as well if you're here - chicken marinated in a paste of spinach, fenugreek leaves, green chilies, coriander leaves, more green ingredients and barbecued. read more

This place has become like my monthly dose of biryani.. their special boneless chicken biryani is amazing.....

Oh my goodness 4 stars for the chicken Biryani from here and the lollipop chicken, both are so delicious! My total came out to about $29 for both items which is a bit pricey but completely worth it. The chicken lollipops are this bright red, warm crispy wings bursting with flavor and moist inside. It's the perfect balance of spices so it's not too hot or too bland and they don't overdip them in too much batter where the meat to batter ratio is off. The Biryani is AMAZING as well, loose grains of fluffy basmati, two generous pieces of chicken packed with flavor and moisture. The chicken is not dry at all the way some places tend to make it. I feel like it's been very well marinated and you can also get those chunks of masala inside the Biryani which is so tasty. It includes a piece of egg, onion, and also a lime packed in a tight container filled to the brim. The raita is watery but that is okay. MUST TRY BOTH! read more

I went here for lunch with a group of 8 from work and, since we were all driving a good distance during a lunch break, we ordered ahead. This was a great idea since all the food came out a couple minutes after we sat down, and it was piping hot and delicious!! It may not be the fanciest looking biryani I've ever had, but taste-wise it's for sure the best. I had the paneer + veg, some coworkers had chicken, other's had mutton - every single person loved theirs. The paneer in mine was a little extra fried and delicious, veggies were on point too (no pun intended). 100% perfect spice level: not overly hot, but good heat + flavor to it (some of my coworkers toned it down w/ raita but everyone was happy). Because of the large mains, we didn't get any appetizers, so can't comment on those. Desert wise, I thought I was way too full for even a bit, but one of my coworkers insisted we all split a couple orders of Double Ka Meetha, and I'm glad he did - absolutely delicious!! Lowell is pretty far away for me but I can't wait to go back here and will for sure save a bit of a room for a desert this time. I just wish I could find some Biriyani this good in Boston, Cambridge or Somerville. read more

Great tasting food, plentiful portions. Docking a point for not being ready during pickup window . Recommend in general, order early.

One word, skip. Overpriced food , doesn't even worth half the price they charge. Tried Chana Masala, egg Bhurji. read more

Amazing authentic south Indian food. Spicy! Worth the trip to Lowell, Mass, right beside a great Cambodian place. read more

Best Indian cuisine I've had in all of MA. No place comes even close. Paradise Biryani is definitely more a takeout place rather than sit-down restaurant, but the food is delicious, great serving sizes, great prices, and the employees have always been polite. Could eat from here every day. read more

As a hardcore biryani fan, this is by far the Best biryani in New England area! Every bite was so flavorful and the way biryani is supposed to be prepared! I can keep coming to this place again and again. All other places are overrated read more

I'm not from the area (from RI) and was actually looking for a different Indian restaurant - but after a couple of wrong turns found this place and I'm very glad! I had the samosa which were delicious - then ordered the paneer tikka masala which was also excellent! In other places, paneer tikka has also had some veggies which I like - but wouldn't change anything else! read more

Would definitely recommend this place! Just based on the service. The server was just so nice, it was our first time there and he offered us a discount - it was just refreshing going to a place where they actually care about the customer and are genuine not just because they want a good tip. The best thing we ordered was Tandoori Chicken Chillies. It was absolutely delicious! As a added bonus the place is halal! read more

The food is decent, not too great. It's not like Chicago Paradise Biryani Pointe that I used to frequent few years ago. I ordered a lamb biryani, which was very greasy, the lemon flavor was too strong. I wouldn't go out of my way to get the food read more

I liked a couple of dishes at this place. The food is decent but the service is very pathetic. This is a self-service restaurant and they only provide styrofoam plates and cups :( They take a long time to get the food out whether you are dining in or taking out. I have tried both and they take atleast 30-40 mins to get the food out. Better to avoid if you are really hungry. I liked the Vegetable manchurian started which was nice n spicy and the Gobi 65 as well. For main dishes i tried the Paneer tikka masala which was good but the Mirchi ka Salan was just ok. Their Garlic Naan is good. Their vegetable biryani is horrible and would avoid it. read more

Good food, good service, clean environment this is what we look for before entering a restaurant. With my experience at "Biryani Point" they have always nailed it. After moving from NYC to MA, you can imagine how picky we must be. But I tell you folks we are here every week for Chicken Biryani, Kadhai Paneer, Gobhi Manchurian and Haryali Kabab. Hope you all enjoy trying this place!! read more

I heard tons of great reviews of the biryani they serve at this place but I went over with a bunch of friends for a lunch buffet. I wouldn't say I was disappointed with the range of dishes they put on offer (the count was more than most others). I am a non-vegetarian but I have a bunch of friends who are vegetarian and the best part was they found the options really good here which is very rare. I particularly liked the lamb curry and the dessert (can't remember the exact name, but it was some kheer) However, it is the best place for Biryani, probably the best chicken and mutton biryani I have had for a really long time. If you are there and you have an option, go for a la carte and order the biryani. I highly recommend this place. read more

In the past 2 yrs, I have visited this place about 20 times. The biryani you get here is really amazing. We always get take-out from here and I never had to wait once I order on the phone. I have tried few other appetizers, but they were not really so great compared to their biryani. Ambiance could be better. read more

worst place to have biryani... Food is not fresh, I ordered Manchurian and I got it ice cold inside. When asked, they told this will be cooked in morning and they heat it in oven.. read more
