One of the worst veg biryani’s I’ve ever eaten. Never seen baby corn or peas in a biryani. No spice of any kind.

This is my first time reviewing something and restaurant owner’s behavior encouraged me to write the review here! I ordered 2 curries and biryani. Paneer curry was ok but other mix veg curry was very bad and can’t explain how biryani was!! It was not biryani first of all you can call it khichadi as it was very wet and with no real spices as biryani. Sticky and tasteless and when i called the restaurant owner to show it…. he was rudely saying it is punjabi style biryani (don’t know if that exists). He keep on arguing that it’s not south style biryani and all… all in all we had worst experience there. Summary: looks like restaurants like this one are running for non Indians as they have no/less idea of Indian cuisine.

Ehhh $34 for a helping of chicken biryani and palek paneer that didn’t include rice apparently. The food is good, but the price for small portions is lame.

I love Indian food. So a co-worker brought me to this place. She had already gave me great feedback but after trying it for myself. The food was delicious, fresh, and just finger licking good and at a great price. I did take out, a 2 item combo and was given large portions. I had their Chicken Tikka Masala, vegetable rice and garlic naan. I recommend it.

This place is amazing. My second time here and the chicken tikki masala is ON POINT! I also had the goat curry—->fantastic! They’re vegetable rice was delicious and the rice pudding was the perfect dessert. This was their two-item lunch combo. That with a huge bottle of Indian beer was less than $25. I’ve attached a pic of their yummy lunch buffet. You can also order off the menu. Such a great find I will be back for more while I’m here on business. (I wrote that last part so I seem more important than I am)

Did Sunday takeout. And I wish the flavor had been the only bad thing about this place. Their tandoori mixed meats tasted like salt and lemon. And not in a good way. Overcooked lamb, chicken, and “sausage” ?

They have a buffet table of various rice and meat dishes set up. You tell the owner which ones you want and he puts them in a to go box for you so it is quick and delicious! The $8.99 lunch special includes rice, one meat dish, freshly baked Naan and a side of yogurt or rice pudding. I also had to try a potato samosa which was $1.50 extra. Next time I would get the yogurt instead of rice pudding since I think it would be good with the bread. The food was good and very filling, enough for 2 lunches! Located in the food court at Bristol and Sunflower along with many other small restaurants of varied ethnicities.

I ordered vegetable biriyani and aloo gobi to go. The packaging didn’t allow for a good presentation, but the food here is excellent. The staff, perhaps the owner, appears to take great pride in his establishment and menu. Definitely deserves another visit.
