| - This was my first time at Paradise Pointe, and quite frankly, I was not impressed with anything here, including the food, the ambience, the prices, or the service. Since the restaurant is titled "Biriyani Pointe", I thought I would try out their their signature biriyanis, and some appetizers. We were a group of four, and we ordered the goat gongura biriyani, the hariyali chicken kabab, the fried shrimp, chicken biriyani, bhindi masala and tandoori rotis. Since everyone at the group liked to share their food, I got to chance to sample most of these items. The goat gongura biriyani was too strongly spiced, so much that it almost masked the taste of the meat itself and was at the brink of tasting bitter. The hariyali kabab was not well marinated, and spices barely reached a few layers beyond the coating, the fried shrimp was OK, and the bhindi was probably the best of the four items. The items are also a bit overpriced in my opinion. The service was average, and could use a LOT of improvement, including the basic courtesy to treat customers. For example, when the customers are asking for five to-go boxes, it's probably not polite to ask them why they need five, and not three. Seriously guys? We were merely asking for to-go boxes, not free dessert! And guess what, they still didn't give us the number of to-go containers we asked for. I would not discourage anyone from going here and trying them out, but try not to keep your expectations too high. :-(
