Bikes & Barrels - Biryani N Grill

I stumbled upon this nice Indian restaurant that serves one of my favorite biryanis made with seeraga samba rice—Madras biryani. It’s available only on weekends, but I’d definitely recommend trying it. It’s incredibly authentic and so flavorful. I even went twice in one week just for this biryani. Their romali roti is also very well made—soft, thin, and perfect. I paired it with their paneer curry, which has more of a dhaba-style taste. You can tell the chef really tries to bring a unique flavor to a lot of their dishes.

The best butter chicken I have ever tasted!!!!!! And I have had my fair share of butter chicken, but this….this is so flavorful. Our waiter Lilly was so knowledgeable about the food and how it’s prepared for first time comers. The dishes she recommended were so good!!! She did an extraordinary job. When you come, ask for Lilly.

We tried this restaurant later at night because we wanted Indian and not a lot was open. When we walked in and saw all the Indian patrons we knew it had to be good. The decor was simple and settings was as well however the food was extremely authentic and delicious. We will go back again to try other dishes. The mango lassi was thick and not ice cold but still worth getting.

I ordered from this restaurant and was shocked to find a cockroach in my meal. I immediately called the restaurant to report it. While the staff apologized, the way the situation was handled was completely unacceptable. They tried to downplay the incident, suggesting it could be a misunderstanding or that I was “blackmailing” them. I am a vegetarian and do not eat non-veg, so the idea that I would intentionally keep a cockroach in the food to demand money is absurd. I have photos of the cockroach in the meal. This raises serious hygiene and safety concerns. I strongly advise caution if you are considering ordering from this restaurant. This is not just poor service. it is a serious health hazard.

Delicious Indian food on its own but the fusion dishes were what took this place over the top. I had the chicken 65 Biryani and the chicken biryani burrito. Perfectly mixed the different cuisines to create a fun and delicious dining experience. I will definitely be back to try other fusion dishes. Maybe one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to just because of the uniqueness of the fusion

I had Mutton Mandi, served by Cute-robot, the platter filled with aromatic rice with dry fruits, and on top of it the tender lamb chops with mid-spicy gravy. Also served with rita, gravy, mayonnaise, and a free complimentary soft drink (we can choose the variety). OMG!! The taste is amazing; though it's a bit expensive, it's totally worth it. **NOTE** Washrooms could have been cleaner.

We came at lunch and it was just us but many pickup and online orders. The server was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. Our food came out hot, fresh, and in a timely manner. We had the Apollo Fish Biryani, garlic naan, lamb curry special, and Indian roti. I would definitely recommend.

Night food lovers!! This place is open in mid nights I tried twice recently and I am unhappy with the food at “MID NIGHTS” only. Yesterday I ordered chicken dum biriyani and mutton Mandi. From my experience the biriyani served was very near to get spoiled. So if you are visiting the place, ask them and make sure the available fresh food options. Mandi was good. The review below is solely on my past experiences. I would like to say how this restaurant is different from other restaurants in terms of taste. If you ask for the Spicy level as high/max then in most of the restaurants I visited the dish only contains more chilli powder and less other spices. But in this restaurant, if the spicy is max/high, they make it balanced with all the other spices and give you the original feel of what you need in the food. The food tastes great and fulfilling. The day I visited I felt the food was prepared with lots of love because it tasted damn good. I would recommend and visit this place again to see if they keep up their taste and aroma. Let me know how did you like this place?

might be my new spot! loved everything i had, the traditional music, the service, and the prices for all you get.

Went to visit here on an afternoon based on reviews I've seen online. The service was good. The inside of the restaurant was a bit bleak, not busy at all, maybe four others eating when we arrived. I ordered butter chicken, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. The lassi was good for the first time. The butter chicken was decent. The naan was also your average naan. Overall decent experience.

NEW MENU ITEM UNLOCKED. Never in my gazillion times of being there have I been tempted to try the Indian Burrito (moment of silence for its glory) it did NOT disappoint. I'm still thinking about it right now 2 days later. My waitress Lilly (10/10 no notes) said it was actually her fav item. The roti being the wrap blew my mind. The mint sauce???? LISTEN. I almost want to delete this review and keep it for myself because it's so good.

This is now my last time here . Service takes forever to get your food ! They told me after 20 minutes in that my chicken will take 15 more minutes to cook . My family is already done eating there food . I gave waitress advice for the next time whoever decides to order Tandoori chicken . Tell them it will take 30 minutes to cook . If I knew this I would have ordered something else . Basically took the food home to eat ! They offered a $5 discount wow ok . My entire lunch experience was screwed .

Seriously some of the best Indian food I've ever had! The paneer tikka masala spice level hot was incredible. Very flavorful and they add herbs to their rice to make it more flavorful. I like how they include onions and peppers in the gravy of the paneer tikka masala. My food was fresh and arrived in a reasonable time since ordering. Why not a 5 star? They use this annoying and stupid robot server to bring you your food. It make obnoxious noises like a high pitched "here I am" over and over again. Get rid of it, people (at least I do) like real people, not robots.

A Hidden Gem Ordered Chicken Biryani, Raju Gari Kodi pulao, Apollo Fish. Biryani and Apollo fish were good. But the pulav was something very special. It has a blend of Thalapakatti Biryani, Telangana Bagara rice, and Kashmiri pulav. All together the aroma was just amazing. I kept smelling it more than eating it. The biryani rice also tasted good. Would 100/100 come back again and try more items. The beautiful and friendly waitress was warm and jovial to my kid. Made sure that we are taken care of. The ambience was amazing. Lighting, temperature and sound everything was spot on and cozy. There are a few setbacks. 1. The TV plays some TV series that was not family friendly. There were some french kiss scenes and a few more scenes that are not PG rated. This is not acceptable. I hope this was a mistake and they fix this. 2. Rice was great but chicken was too soft and a bit stale. Having said that, this place is great. I will absolutely come back and will bring more friends and family. One of the nicest places in metro atlanta area. Definitely try Raju Gari Kodi Pulao. The best in the metro area.

I really don't understand the low reviews of this restaurant! We were a little skeptical of going after reading prior reviews, but then I thought to myself sadly it's generally people with a negative experience that write a review, and not so often and people that enjoyed it, so give it a try. I'm so happy that we did because we had an absolutely amazing dinner ! First, it started off from the hostess, whose name I believe was KITTU. The atmosphere was very authentic and very calming . As soon as we receded, she took our drink order , and I have to say yes it took a little time to get the wine to the table... But all things considered that is a very minor issue for me . I'm very knowledgeable of an Indian restaurants menu. Indian cuisine is probably one of my favorite cuisines ever . So anyway, we ordered two appetizers and a few different dishes to share. I was not disappointed in anyway ! This would be considered 100% authentic Indian cuisine . I have to say I was slightly impressed by the little robot that came to our table to deliver the food , but I was more impressed that they actually followed up and have a server there to make sure that your order is correct that came to your table via robot. Other people might think , why do I need the server to come back if I have the robot delivering my food?? But in my opinion, it was a nice personal touch for them to walk to my table as soon as the robot got there to ensure quality control, as well as the fact that you want to make sure things went to the right table and then to ask if we needed anything else. Honestly, that's not common practice anymore . Sad but true , most times restaurants will just serve you your food and then go away and you don't see them until it's time for the bill. You sit there waiting for water refills or to ask for an accompaniment or if you happen to want extra bread at the table . Not the case here ! The food was absolutely 100% spot on ! If you think it's too spicy , all you have to do is ask about the spice levels. What they call medium would probably considered very hot for an American pallet if you're not accustomed to it . Eye on the other hand ordered hot and it was perfect perfectly seasoned . My kudos go out to the chef and the staff for that. I won't lie. It was a little confusing to see the wine, barrels, and bikers stuff there. . But instead of assuming anything, I actually asked the server why it was like that ? She had a very direct answer that was - someone gave us bad reviews so a lot of people don't come here now and we're just trying to do something to drum up business. I'm really sorry that that's the fact of the matter , but I happen to take advantage of the fact that they had extra things there. My husband and I finished our dinner and wine and then went outside and were able to do ax throwing , cornhole and have an actual little activity to do after dinner. If you're confused at all about this place , please take my advice and just give it a try. I almost didn't , but I'm so happy that I did! By the way, try the vindaloo ! Hundred percent given to that dish As I stated previously, I'm very seasoned in Indian cuisine . So if you're looking for something authentic, this is the place for you to go !

I like the food here very much. The Mutton Chukka is my absolute favorite. The meat pieces are so soft and if you like meat fat that melts in your mouth (similar to bone marrow) you will definitely enjoy this. The goat biriyani is absolutely delicious as well. The owner of the store is also very kind. We came here for karaoke one night and that was a lot of fun.

Well.... I loved the food! I love spicy and flavorful food. Wow, did they deliver!!! Also, it was dinner time and plenty of customers. I was the only non-Indian in the joint. Must say something about quality and authenticity.

Finally stopped in here for dinner the other day. The food is good but the experience was weird. Ordered a curry and a veg biryani. Ended up with a meat biryani which was fine but not what we ordered. Food is brought out on one of those robots but the person working the front still placed the food in your table. They also give you bottled water for some reason. When it came time to pay, the person working the front had their back to us and never once checked on us. We sat watching them for a good number of minutes and they never turned around. It was.. uncomfortable, especially since we wanted a box for leftovers and there were only two other tables of people dining. Already we witnessed another table walk out when they weren't tended to. It's a shame, cause the food is good. I won't be coming back unless I have a lot of time to kill and don't care about poor service. Or maybe just get takeout.

First time trying it out and it was AMAZING!! The food was absolutely delicious, such great flavors and everything was delectable. The service was great and friendly, the staff was always checking on us. The owner was kind enough to chat with us and tell us about our meal :). Such a great experience and would definitely recommend to everyone!

Good food , authentic and delicious **** While in Atlants for the week I noticed BNG across from the Burger King I'd veen eating and so I decided to place a to go order. I was not disappointed at all, very delish. I irder the Ghee Roasted Mutton and it was very good. I did jot eat at the restaurant but it appeared to be an inciting interior. Cricket was on the TV and people were chatting. Some of the mutton was extremely tough but its pot cooked food I expect this can happen when cooked in one pot. Overall: Food: 4 Stars Clean !!!

Food was bad. Staff was nice. My order was wrong the first time, I received the wrong type of masala. so I had to drive back. When I did finally receive my butter chicken, it was gelatinous and inedible. It was just not good.

Favorite Indian place in the Atlanta area! The butter chicken is amazing, and tikka masala is a close second. Service is pretty quick. 10/10 would recommend.

Chicken tikka masala was fantastic, great flavor and very tender. Paneer butter masala was great as well

I am here for dinner on vacation with my family. We came in at 9 pm. We ordered three paneers, garlic naan, and rice. The paneers had great taste however we said "Indian" spice (the spiciest level) and the dishes were not spicy at all. We ended up having to order raw chilis instead. There was also a robot that delivered the food to our table which was a cool experience. They were busy with takeout orders but the only real service we had was ordering the food and asking for the check at the end! Still a good spot for Indian food.

We went as family of 4 adults and 2 kids. We had been here before when there was another restaurant. Wanted to come and check out the food and ambience of the place. We went on a Saturday lunch for buffet and pretty soon found that it is a veg buffet on Saturday. On other weekdays lunch they do non veg buffet. The ambience of the place was really wonderful except the floor. When ever you walk you had that sticky feeling. It was the same as before. I wish they could just change that. Coming to food, my family loved every bit of the food. We spend quality time and the service was great. The veg grill items that they provided during the buffet was ok. Not a big fan, having tasted non veg grill you know. We also took a take out of their biriyani to try out the non veg. Man it was amazing, it was close to the taste of bawarchi biryani. I guess the chef skills are really good in non veg Overall we love it. I think i would definitely visit again to try non veg side of things

Food was amazing as well as great customer service! Very clean and neat. I definitely recommend coming here!

I ordered ahead and was told my food would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived on time, but my food wasn't ready. I was told it would be another 10 minutes. By the time I got my food, it was 30 minutes late. They gave me a 10% discount for the delay, but I would rather have had the 30 minutes. The food was greasy and poorly spiced.

Smyrna has a variety of food selections to choose from. I love Indian food but no expert. When I saw this restaurant being prepared for opening, I was excited to give it a try. Biryani and Grill is located right off Spring rd. It is easy to locate from the road. The signage makes it a can't miss. There is plenty of parking at the restaurant. I placed my order to go due to a long day. The food was ready upon arrival per the estimated time. The employee was on the phone so I decided to look around. I saw the robot server a few had mentioned. I think it's a different way of solving employee issues in the current times. I only saw two employees while there. The decor inside was vibrant and different. Each dining area had its own vibe. However it all added to the overall esthetic. Employees were nice. The food was still hot when we got home. Food came in nice reusable Glad containers. Love good to go containers. Lol! We both ordered chicken biryani. The difference is one is chicken on the bone and the other without. There was plenty of rice in the containers. I think the chicken to rice ratio was a little off. Not a fan of the yogurt sauce given. Other restaurants provide a different sauce upon request. I didn't see it on the menu to order. I wouldn't have minded the rice had there been more sauce. The dish was flavorfull with just right amount of heat. The Naan was good. The food portion was generous and pricing was decent. It was not a bad experience. I would try something else on the menu and dine in to see the robot at work.

Great food, really love there butter chicken and there irani chai is soo good best I ever had

Wasn't a fan. It is a relic of a previous sit down resturant that didn't bounce back after the pandemic. Half the resturant was off limits as they tried to contain guest to a specific area. The Food wasn't bad but the atmosphere leaves something to be desired. I'd absolutely doa food delivery or pick up from this place but I'd never come back and sit down.

I found out about this gem from my brother who happened to stop in at random. We absolutely love Indian, specifically biryani, so when he told us that we HAD to go, we did exactly that. I chose to grab some for takeout on my birthday and it was the perfect birthday gift to myself lol. I ordered vegetable biryani and my boyfriend ordered the shrimp biryani and all I can say is WOW. It was outstanding. Perfect consistency and flavor through the ENTIRE portion (and it was a large portion!) Rice was fluffy, veggies were separately seasoned, just amazing. The curry they serve on the side is out of this world. I'd like to bottle it up and add it to every dish lol I have found my new spot for all my Indian dishes. So happy we found this gem. Great customer service, just an overall positive experience!

I found out about this restaurant in passing to another Indian restaurant my friend recommended to me. I REALLY enjoyed this place. So much so to say it will become my new number one restaurant in Atlanta (beating out my other favs Star of India in Peachtree City and Blue India Downtown Atlanta). EVERYTHING I TRIED I ENJOYED. 1) Butter chicken masala- EXCELLENT It was rich and creamy with that red hue I love. Served with basmati rice. Goes fantastic with their garlic naan. 2) Chicken tikka masala- WONDERFUL I judge an Indian restaurant especially if it is my first time patronizing, by these two dishes the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. A really good restaurant in my opinion is when I can't decide which of the two I like better. I loved them both and I like that the spice level can be adjusted. I ordered medium on both and it gives this slow burn down your throat. Not spicy to where you need milk and bread but definitely turns up the dish from no spice at all. The flavor is out of this world on both. 3) Garlic naan- GREAT I am usually not a fan of ordering garlic naan to go but I was craving some and I appreciated how warm and fresh it still was by the time I got home. The aromatic spices and herbs were so fragrant I couldn't wait to dig in. Goes well with both the butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala. 4) Pepper chicken appetizer- VERY GOOD I was pleasantly surprised on this appetizer. I like spice and the description sounded good. The flavor in this dish is BEYOND. They don't douse it in so much flour either. It's lightly dusted in flour and fried then tossed in its sauce I presume. Soooo good. Would definitely order this again. 5) Achari wings- AMAZING Listen. I learned about these wings based on a picture from Yelp. I was like what is Achari? I Googled it and the guy who took my order was patient enough to explain it to me. So good. You won't be disappointed. Spice level can be adjusted on this. I went with medium. 6) Special chicken biryani-REALLY GOOD The special chicken biryani is boneless whereas chicken dum biryani is bone-in for those wondering the difference like I did. This dish was really good. I thought it was dry at first because I'm used to an oilier biryani. Boneless chunks of well seasoned chicken cubes interspersed through some basmati rice. Good stuff! 7) Chili garlic fried rice with shrimp They leave tail on with shrimp orders. It was decent. Not bad, not mind blowing. Wouldn't order again. Doesn't take away from their five star review.

We had a great dinner. This was our first time there, we had Chicken Lollipop, Lamb Biryani, and the Special Chicken Curry. Great flavors, nice portions and just a great dinner.

Meh! Quality food. Biriyani ok. No taste. Robot server cute. Food could be a lot better easily

Lilly made this meal Amazing! She suggested a dish that I had never heard of, rating should be five stars. I ate the vegetable curry Gutti vanpaya and it was so Freak'n good. the rice served with it could be a meal on its own, so flavorful. You must eat here with a Malabar paratha. I put down four of them so amazing. I wish they were closer to Lawrenceville.

I can't believe how few patrons were at this hidden gem. The food was delicious. The tikka masala medium heat was perfection. The garlic naan was wonderful. The chai tea was great. I greatly enjoyed this place and the service was excellent. Lilly was a sweet and prompt waitress. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated with comfortable seats.

Food was excellent! And we certainly enjoyed the ambiance of the dining room. 10/10 would come back!

I'm sorry but Atlanta needs more Indian cuisine! The amount of Indian joints for the city that touts itself to be "diverse" and "inclusive" sure does exclude some amazing food cultures like great Indian food. Biryani-N-Grill is a prime example of under rated and overlooked in terms of where they should be and they are not recognized at all. They are located across from the car wash on Spring Rd. in Smyrna just a half mile away from Cumberland Blvd and yes, you need to come. Let's talk about their hours. They split the day from 11-3 then they close from 3-5 then re-open for dinner at 5 till they close so you know they legit. For good Indian food, I always shoot for the Butter Chicken or Murgh Maknhi. And since each place's spice level is different, I shoot for the medium and frankly, I could've gone hotter. But I will say, the butter chicken here is fantastic! They err on the side of more tomato flavor but you can tell that they have a great balance of their spices. I will say, the cumin, chili powder and turmeric flavors get lost due to the tomato base but overall, the curry itself is fantastic! And their rice!!!!???? Curry leaf and star anise flavorings coat the rice in such an aromatic way that you can taste it and then pair it with the butter chicken is just an amazing marriage of textures and flavors that warms you up! The interior is also quite traditional yet spacious enough for you to enjoy your meal with friends or by yourself. I was a little off put by an over abundant rose scent or maybe it was lavendar. Either way, the restaurant is underrated and should be visited by food enthusiasts all over ATL. And yes, they even have the server robot to deliver your food which is a modern touch to what is very good Indian food which was a fun thing to see.

I had the Worst biryanis ever in this place. When asked for spicy they made the entire rice in red color and put more masala spice which was not appetizing at all.

Food: we have tried almost all of the so called "best" Indian food in metro Atlanta and for me this was the most authentic and tastiest Indian place we found. I ordered Tikka Marsala and the sauce was on point and all the vegetables and chicken were cooked perfectly! I rarely finish my food but I did today! Service: was also top notch. They sat us immediately, took our orders right away and then food came out in 15 minutes or so. The food is delivered by robot which was entertaining. However once the food robot arrives at your table, servers serve you by placing them on your table. Ambience: for price less than (or equal to) eating at CAVA or other fast food restaurant, you can not expect four seasons. It's clean, cozy and smells like curry (as it should)! Also while we were eating, many Indian families came in for their dinners! It was very family friendly place.

Fried Cauliflower, all the chicken dishes, and the samosas are delicious. The seasoning on the cauliflower has made it one of my favorite appetizers period. The naan is underwhelming. The green sauce that comes with the samosas is perfect. Get two or three of them to go

The food was immaculate 10 out of 10 and for a good price will be back asap my server Lilly was very helpful thank you so much when you see this

Want to like this place so bad. Their flavors are really great, but unfortunately they just ignore any requests for mild/medium food and just make it inedibly hot. Today was my 3rd (and last) time I've tried ordering, each time I took special care to request my dishes be made mild, and every time it's spicy to the point of ruin. Even my wife, who loves extremely spicy food, says they've ruined it.

Not my favorite Indian food but very solid. Good flavors. I like that they have a few items on the menu that I don't see at many other places such as the Masala Corn. Service wasn't the best, but they did have a cute robot that brings out the food. On top of not great service, there's also an automatic 18% gratuity charge so we usually order take out. Ambiance is nice though.

Food is great, but a bit pricey! The service is good, but there's not much staff available so you may have to wait if you need something.

Biryani and kabab, but inside a burrito. The fusion food that I didn't think that I needed, but now is all I ever want. Order the Achari wings and thank me later! oh my god, the best wings I have had in Atlanta so far. The Achari spice mixture coats the wings perfectly and it is a flavor explosion in your mouth. It is absolutely delicious! We ordered the chicken kabab and biriyani burrito which is pretty huge. If you eat half of it, I am more than sure you would be full. It comes with a yogurt sauce on the side so it's great to dip the burrito in. I would come to this place in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend this gem to family and friends.

We've had lunch at the restaurant once and did delivery a couple of times. The food is very tasty and has great flavors. This aspect makes us overlook the service aspects which they could improve. There also seems be some minor inconsistency in the dishes when ordered at different times. I'd go there again inspite of some of the shortcomings because the food tastes fresh and flavorful.

One of the worst Indian restaurants I've ever been to. Ordered several different varieties of entrées, not a single one was good. Service was awful as well.

I really enjoyed my dinner. I ordered the lentil soup with chicken, bullet naan, and the grilled broccoli. I was happy to find the broccoli was served over a bed of cumin rice as I thought it would be al la cart. The soup was soo good. A creamy, rich, slightly sour flavor with the perfect amount of salt. The broccoli was also good, but I would have liked a little more lemon to moisten it a bit more. Being grilled, it was a little dry, but seasoned wonderfully. I enjoyed the cream garlic dressing that came with it, and this spruced it right up. The naan was very scrumptious. It hit the spot! Thank you!

After having phenomenal Indian food in Utah, of all places we were in North Las Vegas for two years and could not find an Indian food restaurant worth going back to. So nice to have great Indian food again can't wait to go back and explore the menu.

If I can give a zero I would!!! Order was very nice waited 45 at empty place to get cold food to still try to charge for something we didn't eat!!

I found my new favorite spot. The food was amazing. The service was wonderful. I will be making this my regular spot for Indian food.

This place has gone through so many owner changes and we never were interested in checking it out because of the bad reviews in the past. What a pleasant surprise and now a new favorite for Indian cuisine! The owners are eager to earn your business and you can see it in the decor and customer service. The kids also love meeting the cute robot server. The buffet is so different from your typical North Indian cuisine and you get to actually try something very different from the usual curries and tandoors. Give it a try on a Saturday or Sunday when they have their buffet.

Went there Sat to try the buffet. My GF took one look and decided not to even eat at all. I was very hungry and she told me to go ahead and eat. Should have left instead. The people were nice enough, but the food tasted like it was leftovers from the week thrown into spicy sauce and dropped in a bowl. I've been to FAR better Indian buffets like Swapna or Vatica. Is this Pakistani ? Because it's different. Dried out chicken. Deep fried accompaniments, horrible skewer vegetables.. There was nothing pleasing about this meal. Even the Naan was microwaved.. it's the next day now, and my digestive system still hurts. To top it all off, it's freaking $25 !!! This is a case of "let's see what we can get away with" in USA. Restaurants like this make me wonder if it's made to wash cash. Nasty greasy floor, buffet had blue Kool Aid to drink. Really ?? Wtf ?? This being said, the reason it got 2 stars is because my brother and I came last week and ordered off the menu and the food was enjoyable that day. The buffet is an outright hustle IMHO. It was enough to make me cross this place off the list and not go back..

The food is excellent. My wife's tikka masala was complex and perfect. My saag paneer was also very good but I was envious of my wife's dish. Garlic naan was best I've had because they use fresh cut garlic. The ambience is peaceful but some might describe it as eerie because there was no one else and no background music. Food was delivered by a friendly robot helper. They are not super attentive (eg American custom of "how is your meal"but super friendly, so again you can either think of this as relaxed experience or a negative. I thought it was a great experience. Will come again.

One of the worst culinary experiences of my life. They are using robots to serve the food. One of the enjoyable experiences in eating in a restaurant is the rapport with a good server. This is completely absent. This place completely dehumanizes the experience. I may as well have stayed home and cooked a frozen meal in the microwave.

The food is so good that I lost my mind; I left my phone, airpods and car key at the table but they were very nice and I got my things back when I came back
