Paradise Biryani Pointe

Because of how many things bothered me about my first and ONLY visit to this place I am just going to list the things that caused me to give a one star Review.
1. Filthy, wobbly, uneven table.
2. Meat dishes with out meat, only sauce.
3.over cooked fried dishes. I was unable to even bite into it.
4. Under cooked rice, also hard as a rock
5. Any dish with «chicken» in it was riddled with so many bones it was almost unsafe to eat.
6.the specialty dish was dry as hell and not flavorful at all. I expect flavor city when I go out for Indian food.
The only good part of this visit was leaving. I will not try this place again and will encourage people to avoid this place.

The taste went very bad. they mixed the chicken in the goat curry and when complained they removed the goat from buffer and no goat in the Buffett .they biryani taste was so bad like rice mixed with some masala… didn’t enjoy the food…

I frequently go to Paradise with friend or family or order food for home delivery. I find the food good, pricing reasonable and service excellent.

I can’t speak to the previous negative experiences of several customers, but I have been here several times and the quality has seemingly gotten better each time I’ve eaten here.
The spice level is the best I’ve experienced in the Kansas City metro. Fresh, whole spices in every dish. Not over-​salted like many other Indian restaurants in town. Aromatic and delicious.
Additionally, the wait staff is unbelievably friendly each time my girlfriend and I have been in. Extremely polite, checking on us routinely without being overbearing. I can now say that we’ve become regulars.

4.5 star for food, and 3 for service and customer satisfaction. the food was good. we ordered paneer butter masala, malai kofta, and veg biriyani. The food tasted good, but their Naan was ok. Food seemed to have a lot of color in it. Quantity is ok for the price, taste is good, but the service was on the bad side. Seemed like everyone was new and were tired and exhaused and just wanted the day to get over. Not blaming them, its a tiring job.

Celebrated my 1year little one birthday party at their event place … kudos to Gusthavo and team. these guys made our party very special and memorable. no food complaints. everyone loved the food… They made everything the way we wanted…

Had lunch buffet at 2pm when refilling is closed at 2:30pm. The food was exceptionally fresh. Very rare among Indian restaurants at Overland Park where they do refill the food very fresh after 2pm. I want to commend Alekhya, server Nandini and chef Joseph for making multiple table visits to me and other people in the restaurant. They make food very satisfactory. Highly recommended if you are looking for Indian food.

I really wanted some Indian food and this is the closest. Service was excellent and food terrific. A bit expensive for the portion size. We’ll definitely return as soon as I can get to overland park again!

The food is amazing and flavorful. The ambience is clean and pleasant. It’s obvious everything is made fresh and in this world of short cuts, I appreciate that. The customer service is great. Come and enjoy, you won’t be sorry! Try the chicken 65 and the mango lassi.

There have been several Indian restaurants (or maybe different incarnations of this one?) in this location over the past few years — I hope this one stays!
We went for dinner on a Saturday night and were very impressed. The mixed vegetable pakora was different than other Indian restaurants’ version of the same dish (this was loose, almost like onion rings, instead of formed into little balls), but very good. The vegetable korma was the best I have had, we’ll definitely be back for that! He was not thrilled that his chicken curry dish was on-​the-​bone, which slowed him down shoveling it into his face — but he also loved my vegetable korma. The portions are huge. I ate part of my vegetable korma, then took the rest home. The next day I made rice and a salad and the leftovers served both of us for lunch — and he eats a lot.
We’re looking forward to trying the lunch buffet!

Literally sitting right in this b. So good. So so good. I’ll be here this weekend for the buffet. Dosa… oh man.

Horrible food. Worst I ever had in overland park. Uncooked food and spices and I asked to see the chef and they didn’t even responded to that even after asking thrice. It’s like they didn’t even had any full time chef available in the kitchen.

Used to like it!
Already started loosing frequent customers like me. Poor Management. Heard, authentic chefs got terminated and the biryani (which I used to love) is now being prepared by management, how mean!
I have home-​delivered full tray biryani recently paying $ 80 and I was told that the quantity would be more than enough for 10 people, we were 6 and just not enough! So sick of the management.
We would like to have our old biryani flavor back please!
Coming to buffet, it’s not at all worth with the number of items we have! Compared to many competitive restaurants nearby.

This is my second review and I gave 5 stars for my first review. Honestly over time the quality is going down! I got a togo of Paneer butter masala (medium spicy) and a vegetable briyani (spicy). The paneer butter masala tasted like it had 50% water (I could see water separated on the top). I have had this before and enjoyed this, but this time it was terrible. Half the briyani box had chunks of just white rice and there was very little masala. I hope they don’t spoil the franchise name.

spicier than most, it was a fairly quiet afternoon buffet, I can’t say that it was anything special, though the Naan was brought out fresh, as well as a bowl of Biriyani, which was a nice touch. slightly more expensive than other buffets. the waiters & waitresses were constantly filling water and clearing plates which was nice as well. that may have been because it was so empty. personally liked Masalas which occupied this space before a little better.
i got the goat Biriyani and it was chock full of bones. it made eating it nearly impossible. boo on that.

I loved the Biryani here. Being from Hyderabad, I can tell you the flavor is authentic, though spicy for the American palette. The servers are very polite and attentive. I would have gladly given the place five stars had it not been for two things: 1. It takes a while for the Biryani to arrive. But that might just be the nature of cooking the dish right. 2. Something I wanted on the menu wasn’t available at that time.
I loved how they value and care for the customer. Good food and decent ambience make me want to go back and take some friends along.

Update: Taking off 1 star because the quality of biryani is not consistent. Last couple of times, I felt the lamb was chewy and the biryani was very spicy.
This place has undoubtedly the best goat biryani in KC! My another favorite is the Goat pepper fry. I hope they keep up with the consistency and I will come here again and again.

Yummy biryani!!! We got along with gravy and raitha… tastes like hyderabadi biryanl! We loved it

Updating my review based on my recent experiences
The quality and taste of food is very disappointing. I wonder why they don’t serve Mirchi ka Saalan with Biryanis any more. I am sorry to say that the chances of finding good Indian food are bleak in Kansas City now.

(The review below was my experience at PBP some 12 months back)
This place definitely serves authentic biryani. And no other indian restaurant can beat it in taste test. That said, it is a franchise and the taste is guaranteed at all times (but somehow they managed to screw it up twice), not sure how many preservatives go in your food. I will shortly write another review after I check with them.
Also, the food served here at the restaurant is ¹⁄₃^rd the quantity served at other restaurants.
I can say with out hesitating that the place is a rip-​off. The quantity served to the price charged is unforgivable and the insanely long wait times for your food to arrive, makes your experience bitter.
We ordered the following and here is my individual rating for these items
Chicken Biryani (Taste 3.5÷5, Quantity ²⁄₅)
Mutton Biryani (Taste 4/​5, Quantity ²⁄₅)
Chicken 65 (Taste 2/​5, Quantity ¹⁄₅). The irony with Chicken 65 was that the chicken was diced and very oily. It is a huge turn-​off
Fish Fry (Taste 2/​5, Quantity ¹⁄₅). We ordered 2 of these items and both came burnt
Chicken Chettinad (Taste 2.5÷5. Quantity ²⁄₅). It was spicy and tasted much better than the other dishes
Naan (Taste 2/​5, *). I tasted better Naan here in Kansas City in more than one indian restaurants.
Is this restaurant Kid friendly? No.
The bottom line is that, if you want repeat customers then you have to justify your food proportions and consistency in your taste.
FYI, We ordered Biryani’s twice for take out and the quantities are still half the other places.

I’ve been to this restaurant twice now — once for the famous Paradise Biriyani and then for the lunch buffet. I have to say, so far I’m really impressed with the quality of the food.
Biriyani — Its has much more masala and flavor than biriyanis offered by other Indian restaurants, has very good chicken: rice ratio, is offered in 3 different spice levels and has enough quantity to make you feel full. ⁴⁄₅. But its not of that «mouth-​watering» quality like Oklahoma Joe’s barbeque that you should travel 20 or 30 miles just to get the biriyani.
Lunch Buffet — They have your standard choice of menu items, is a little spicier than other Indian restaurants and they refill faster than some of the other places I’ve been to. So far, the food feels fresh and juicy :) A+++. Although @12 $ (weekday) and 15 $(weekend) rates, this might feel like the costliest buffet in all of Overland Park, it worth going to once in a while.
But I’m keeping my fingers crossed. All the Indian restaurants seem to open great and then fall away in quality gradually. Take K. Kurry restaurant for example. So I’ll update this review after some months to see where it stands.
For now 4.5÷5 (unfortunately Unilocal accepts only integers)
EDIT:
I can’t believe this, but they managed to TOP their already high standards so much that I’m upgrading my rating to full ⁵⁄₅. They’ve reached a point where the system (buffet, carry out) has been perfected and is seamless. The biriyani is now always at the same extraordinary taste level and is consistent everytime. My friends go every week to their place (traveling 15 – 20 miles) for their Chicken biriyani and/​or Goat pepper fry.
They have changed their buffet system to cater more to the needs of the customers. Now you can order any biriyani you want from your table (during the buffet), and they’ll bring it to you. You can keep ordering any number of times, but trust me, you can’t go more than one serving of Chicken Biriyani & one serving of Goat Biriyani.
Speaking of biriyani, I just absolutely love their flavor. Chilli and Spice has been losing a steady stream of customers even though their standard is still the same. Can’t say I blame them. To stay on top, you gotta beat the best :)
Tip: If you want Indian spicy level, order the medium or the maximum level because to me the lowest level always feel bland.
