Biryani Maxx Indian Cuisine

Absolutely loved this place! The customer service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The food was even better. The chili chicken had the perfect balance of spice and flavor, while the butter chicken was rich, creamy, and delicious. The lamb rogan josh was tender and packed with authentic spices, and the Indian tea was the perfect finish—warm, aromatic, and comforting. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving flavorful Indian cuisine and top-notch hospitality!

I do not understand why this place has got such high rating. The goat biryani was horrible and same was the salad. Fried rice was oily and Manchurian was watery. The only good thing was mango lassi.

Wonderful experience to have dinner with Bollywood songs on background and indian delicious food in front of you. We went very late just before closure, but still, staffs were very courteous to allow us and server fresh hot food. The food was fresh and hot 10 on 10 for taste. Ambience was also good with great experience. Overall, I had a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. Must visit if you have infian food craving and special for vada pav .

We ordered mushroom 65 and egg biryani. The mushroom 65 was crispy and the taste was excellent. The egg biryani also tasted great. The quantity of both the items was less compared to the price, hence one point deducted here. The service is fast and staff is polite and courteous.

BIRYANI MAXX is a great new find if you’re into great Indian dishes. I tried them out with primary interest in the chicken biryani. Come to find out that they have a very good menu and the food follows suit. So glad to have stumbled upon this 🙏🏽

We order veg biryani to-go. Biryani was very delicious, not spicy but it has tiny rocks in it. I found rocks 6 times in my mouth, after that I stop eating that, which is not good for health too. I am definitely not going back in this restaurant.

Great Indian food option in Downtown Cary, staff who really care and provide service, Food was excellent. Great for both Sit in and also order if you're on the move. Great outside patio seating too. The restaurant offers a great experience over all.

Never go!!! Just worst service ever in entire RTP, I am so disappointed right now. When I ordered Chicken dum Biryani they didn’t mentioned they are out of it, took my order. I picked up confirming about food, came home & now when opened the box, not even a single piece of chicken in it. I mean are you guys this cheap???? U can simply say we are out of it rather than destroying someone’s special dinner. I drove almost 25 minutes each side but this is what you get??? I have video proof as well which I am gonna share with these guys along with complaint. You guys need to have some respect to your customers because of which you exist and run restaurants.

Lovely Indian restaurant. The place is spacious, casual yet comfortable. The service was excellent and very fast. The food was amazing. You have an option of mild, Medium, hot or very hot- choose wisely. The mild is still a little spicy! Every item was delicious. We had chicken 65- mild, vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala and mutter paneer. The entrees come with rice. We ordered naan too. The masala chai was small, but tasty! And enough to to fill your tastebuds. A definite must for Indian food in Cary

(3.5 but i rounded up) i got takeout from this place last weekend, ordered paneer biryani, malai kofta, and double ka meetha. the food was ready really quickly. although i didn't eat in, i really liked the space and the outdoor seating, which i had no idea was so spacious. for the food- everything tasted fine, but occasionally not exactly like what the dish should be. the malai sauce especially was not quite right, and the onion flavor was overpowering in that dish. i like onions, so i still really liked it, but it was not 100% like malai kofta. i liked the biryani though, even though i'm not usually a fan. this was the first time i have ever had double ka meetha, so i am not sure what it is supposed to taste like, but i was underwhelmed. it didn't feel sufficiently sweet to me, and the rose flavor was extremely extremely weak- maybe that is what it's supposed to taste like!- but afterward i just craved gulab jamun. overall i did like the food and i would love to try something that is more of a house special.

We went to Biryani Maxx after a while and were pleasantly surprised. It used to be primarily a takeout place. However they have renovated and has a dine in experience. We ordered chicken drumsticks, tandoori chicken and Hyderabad Biryani. The drum sticks were average. But the tandoor chicken was amazing. It was tender, succulent and very tasty. Probably one of the best tandoori chicken I've had in a while. The Hyderabad chicken biryani was excellent. Make sure you ask for the bone in version if you don't want it to be too spicy. The food had all the right flavors and had all come together really well. Added bonus - the food is well priced. Definitely recommend.

I've never actually been inside Biryani Maxx, but I have ordered SO MUCH BIRYANI over the years. They are by far the best biryani restaurant in the area. they also have Momos which I love & "normal" Indian fare. Most recently I ordered a potato app which reminded me of chicken 65 but with potatoes and I think I'll have to add it to every order. It's spicy, but a great spicy. I highly recommend Biryani if you are looking for some yum rice dishes.

This was my first time trying biryani so I got the vegetable one and the lunch chicken special. The lunch special comes with naan and various sauces. The presentation is beautiful and the flavors are very aromatic. It was just a bit too spicy for me even though it was mild/medium. It is better if you pay cash to save the 4% credit card fees. The service is great and my lunches were prepared very quickly after ordering at the register.

I've been trying sooo many Indian restaurants in Cary to find which one I love best & this one of my top choices. My go to order is chicken tiki masala and garlic naan which came out to roughly $20 for the entree and side. Both were delicious. I felt that the masala sauce was more coconuty and packed with flavor. I tried it at the spice level medium and that was just right. The garlic naan was also hot and fresh. Reason for 4 stars is because I've been able to share this dish with one other person and we'd both be full at other restaurants. They seem to give smaller portions of meat with more sauce at this location.

We ordered bullet chili naan, they gave us garlic naan. We ordered veg Kolhapuri, they gave us Cauliflower with tomato sauce. After they reopened with expansion, the quality had gone downhill because of being busy and confused. They need to slow down and improve the quality. If not, they will go down soon. When we ordered the same dishes last time, they were excellent.

Excellent service. The food we ordered was prepared quickly and absolutely delicious! We had Chicken Tikka Masala, Tikka, Butter chicken, and garlic naan. Highly recommended. We'll be back. The restaurant is beautiful inside and they have outdoor sitting.

If u enjoy good food! This is the place to go to! No frills but great taste great flavors and extra credit for consistently making it the same time n time again! The chicken is always cooked to perfection, never overcooked!

the food is phenomenal authentic Indian. highly encourage everyone to come and enjoy. service is wonderful

Delicious biryani. Well spiced and not over the top but with great flavors and not just bones. We ordered one chicken and one goat - surprisingly tender meat. The Naan was excellent, maybe a tad oily for me but definitely delicious hot (and thankfully not charred and delicately thin). The sauce was yummy - I put it on everything since it enhanced the savory flavors of the biryani. Not much seating and definitely looked to be mainly for take out. There are outdoor tables though. Will definitely be back because it's the best biryani of Cary and maybe the Triangle.

Placed a pick up order on Uber Eats 30 minutes before they technically opened. Swooped by and there were so many orders prepared for pick up--popular place! The staff who helped me were very kind. The food was awesome--tikka masala, dahl, stuffed naan. Large portions, enough for several meals and it reheats well! The stuffed naan was really good, a nice compliment to the soupy dahl. The tikka had a lot of chicken in it and a complex, satisfying flavor. Overall, great place, nice price for portions, and easy service. Eager to come back and try more on the menu!

The biryani quality is worst . Please provide at least taste like food. The chicken 65 is full of maida

By far, the best biryani place in Cary / Morrisville area!!! I got the Hyderabadi chicken dum Biryani and Gongura Chicken. The biryani was just perfect with perfect blend of spices and the chicken was perfectly cooked! Even the Nizams would be impressed. Gongura chicken was also perfectly cooked and delicious. If you haven't tried it yet, I would highly recommend it. The portion sizes are huge and the prices don't burn a hole in your paycheck. Highly recommend this place.

Flavourful and enough quantity. This is our first go to Indian restaurant! Gongura mutton is really flavorful and juicy mutton pieces. You can ask for more spicy, if you like.

This place is sooo good!! I get vegetarian biryani and my husband gets chicken biryani but literally everything is so good! Nice home town feel, not fancy at all. Service is great! Highly recommend

Order through Grub hub Lunch order was delicious Good portion Food was fresh Price was great Service was friendly Will be back

The food isn't bad, but the service is HORRENDOUS. Here's how the last four trips have went - I order online and am told that "food will be ready in 30 minutes". Great. Sounds normal. Now here's the kicker - every single time i show up 30-45 minutes later and tell them I am here to pick up an online order. The look at me with absolute confusion and astonishment, as if to say "What exactly is that? We have online orders?". They are blown away. It's as if I asked them for the exact coordinates of DB Cooper's lost treasure. They proceed to run in the back, most likely look at their online orders for the first time all day, and then tell you to wait for another 15-20 minutes. No apologies, no gestures of goodwill - nothing. Basically, whoever is working here must be perpetually stoned or mentally incompetent. Fool me three times, shame on me - fool me four times, I'm never going back. There's a better place one block down called Biryani XPRX. I highly recommend taking your business there. The food is always on time and the customers are always treated with utmost respect, not flabbergasting disregard. Try at your own risk!

Best biryani in the Triangle. We don't usually come here because it is out of the way for us but when we are on this side of town we ALWAYS make sure to get food here. We recently came and got the lamb sheek kabobs and chicken dum biryani. The ground lamb is tender and spicy. It pairs so well with the red onions and chutney that it is served with. This is a MUST. The biryani rice is flavorful and cooked perfectly with the chicken on the bottom that is so flavorful. It's not too spicy. I usually eat my biryani with the yogurt sauce but it's not necessary. It just adds another layer of flavor.

Absolutely love this biryani place. Gold standard for biryanis! The only issue I have is that the biryani is very salty. I only wish they had an option for low salt.

Note to self: come back to this place, the butter chicken was bangin'. Full disclosure, got the food to-go and have no idea if the service is great etc but when we got home... man I couldn't ask for anything more. The naan was also a good size and spot on. Before I realized I needed a picture for this review, the food was all gone. It's ok, I'll come back and add one late. (Note, I went back within a week and here are some pictures)

Best biryani is Raleigh!!! It has the appropriate spices needed and the portion is good. There's no dine in but they also have large pack biryanis if you call them and they deliver as well

Remember to bring a friend. The portion is large enough to satisfy two adults. I always got the Aloo Gobi Masala ($11.99) and the butter naan ($1.99) the past two times I've been here. If you don't know what to get and enjoy spices and lots of flavor, I suggest what I ordered. I ate in the first time with friends during a weekend lunch time. The server wasn't able to help me pick, but I was satisfied with what everyone ordered. I learned the first time around that we ordered way too much. So, the second time, I ordered to-go and was able to get two meals out of one.

Lawd the chicken 65 was absolutely amazing. I love spicy food and it is SPICY and full of flavor! I also like the garlic butter naan! Love love love this place

Oh how much I love Biryani Maxx! When we crave Indian food, Briyani Maxx is our go-to always. We love everything we had here. Before I ate here at Biryani Maxx, I was never interested in Indian food but this place changed my mind forever :) The first time I came here I ordered the wings. And omg!!!... if you are not a huge fan of Indian food like I was, try the wings! And the fried corn and the potato appetizer dish (I cannot remember the name). This place is AMAZING!!!

Feeling under the weather so decided to get a to-go from here since most indian restaurants we usually get from were closed on a Monday. We ordered Spicy Chilli Potatoes - these just don't have any flavor and taste weird. Every at home from an 8 year old to 46 year old felt the same. Paneer 65 - Same weird stuff. Just spicy and no flavor whatsoever. Vegetable Biryani - this is the inly item we got today that was reasonably good but my tummy started feeling weird after a few bites and neither me nor my husband could eat more than a few bites. Sorry Biryani Maxx, this is our first and last time eating here. Haven't had such bad food in a long time!

This was our first time. We ordered takeout. The service was good at takeout. I asked for extra Raita and they gave it for free and no charge even after I insisted. But the food disappointed. The first one is the Wok Fried potatoes.... not sure how they got the color but the entire dish was tasteless. Across the board the entire family disliked it. That went quickly into the bin. The second is the paneer Manchurian. Again the flavors were bland, missing salt and nothing distinctive. The veggie Biryani was alright. The raita was watery. Maybe they serve better non-vegetarian dishes but this was our last time here.

I've heard about this place for a while and FINALLY made it. I wish I came around sooner. My friend and I decided to split the food, the best way to taste more stuff on the menu. Of course, I had to have biryani, so I tried the Hyderabadi dum chicken biryani, it's so delicious. I asked for medium spice which I personally didn't think was spicy. We also order Dal Thadka with a side of garlic naan. The garlic naan was delicious but then again I'm a sucker for garlic naan. The dal tadkha which I thought was good but don't think my friend enjoyed the tadhka part much. The staff is really friendly and courteous, definitely worth eating from here. Their weekday lunch specials look interesting as well.

I've ordered delivery through GrubHub a couple of times now and the food has always been great! The Wok Fried Chili Potatoes definitely look better than they taste (a bit bland), but the Chicken 65, Garlic Cilantro Naan, and Aloo Gobi Masala were delicious. You also get much larger portions from Biryani Maxx than you'd get at other Indian places!

Someone mention to me this place a few months ago but because of covid i didn't have a chance to try it until now, the guy that helped us was really he gave us some good recommendations, food was really good, price and amount of food was decent. However we waited more then 30 minutes for the food which i think is too long. I would have given them a four stars but because food took so long that's why I given them 3 stars. Definitely i will go back to try something different.

This place has lot of options for Biryani and North Indian food items in menu. Cleanliness: it's ok , it's not that good in keeping space , table , water bottles clean. Food: i tried paneer tikka masala and it was good , spicy. Interior: it's small restaurant and lighting, decor was not good. Space: it's small space , 4-5 tables. Service: service is ok. Overall it's small Indian restaurant, some items are good. If you want to try Biryani then this place has options and it's good.

This is my go to place when I'm craving real Desi food! I have never found a restaurant that brings the experience of South Asia to America so authentically! With the silver serving platters, jars of water, and blazing tandoor in the kitchen, it really feels like home. The food is out of this world! With flavour combinations I've never tried before, it is truly such a unique experience! The tuttak kebabs are a treat with the green chutney and the chicken 65 is unbeatable. My husband and I always come in for the NC State Handi as well, it is amazing with the freshly made buttered naan! Another notable mention is the malai kofta, but in all honesty anything you get will be amazing! A must try for those who have a love for South Asian cuisine!

I just found this place and I can eat their Naan bread all day. It's always hot and fresh! I love their goat curry as well. You can't go wrong with the goat curry.

Very Yummy! Chicken dum biriyani 3/5 Tandoori chicken whole 3.5/5 Highly recommended.

Reliably delicious food! This was out 7th visit/takeout in the past 6 months. The food is authentic, Dhaba-style Indian cuisine. Given the minimalist ambience, we often run a takeout. The quantity is great, service is excellent and they have the best attitude. Do not be deterred by the appearance of this place. We often get the paneer tikka masala, malai kofta and veg biryani. The biryani comes with a punch. Yum. For appetizers we go with samosas but ventured to the mirchi bhaji this time. Oh gosh, the fresh dried battered chilles were exactly what we needed to zing up our day! The butter chicken and chicken biryani are also pretty fantastic. Dal tadka is decent and I am sure I once had the spinach dal and it was absolutely amazing (Unlike most of the restaurants which have a much blander version to any greens they offer). It is my go-to take out and has been consistently great.

We have never been in person- only done delivery and it's always delicious! My husband and I usually order a few main dishes and just share them. Always yummy!

We came here with friends for dinner and we loved it. Everything was so tasty and fresh. I loved Goat Saagwala! You have to try it! Also very specific item is Hyderabad Chicken Dun Biryani - it is amazing. The spices they put in are wonderful! The dish is big so you can definitely share it with a friend or take leftovers to go. Garlic break is super good too! We were so full, that we didn't have any space for desert. But we are definitely coming back to try out more dishes Highly recommend!!! Cheers :)

The place is not that large, they do a lot of take out. We ordered the chilli fries appetizer, it was amazing, we asked for medium spice and we enjoyed it so much, chicken biryani was the most delicious we've ever had, and we also ordered malai kofta and it was so good. I can't wait to go back again and try other appetizers and other dishes but I'm sure every time a biryani will be on the table

Biryani never goes wrong . We order almost every week and it tastes exact same every time . There bejwada biryani is my favourite

Best biryani in triangle . Hands down. Chicken 65 biryani is expensive but the quality is really good with correct spice and flavor. Chicken bone-in biryani is also equally good. The portion is good enough such that 3 adults could finish 2 biryanis. They don't charge delivery fee. That's icing on the cake . So , we did carryout rather than dine-in both the times. My pick: Chicken 65 biryani

The triangle area, especially Cary and Morrisville is crowded with biryani places, and most are average. I haven't found any places in the area as good at this one. The biryani is great, and tandoori is also exceptional. It is a very casual restaurant. Highly recommend

I've been ordering from here for the past three years and it's the same delicious food every single time. The food is fresh and flavorful. Things I order frequently: Gobi manchurian, Paneer manchurian, and veggie biryani.

One of the best seekh kababs i have had in this area... Taste of chicken is very fresh, not too rubbery or too hard.. very good quantity and with good amount of Chutney with it. Would highly recommend to try this when you go here, rest all food is also good

Update: Last time I got an egg in vegetable biryani and the owner was very courteous to accept that it came by mistake and gave me another vegetable biryani this time. Must say the biryani is really well made here. Very few restaurants get the vegetable biryani right and most of them end up tasting like pulao. I've got it twice after that and both the times the taste was consistent. This place has now become my new favorite for vegetable biryani.

Ordered chicken tikka masala and chicken vindaloo via UberEats. Both entrees were good and came with basmati rice. Only reason the review is four instead of five stars is that I also ordered samosas but it was missing from the delivery (quickly refunded).

If I see my myself returning to a place over and over for some legit food they are doing something right and this is one such place . Loved our lunch here this afternoon , Everything was Perfection !

The food is excellent, and the staff incredibly customer-focused. I think this may become my fav Indian restaurant. While the atmosphere is utilitarian, the food and the staff win the day!!!

I should be grading my students' stats assignments, but I'd rather write this review because this restaurant is getting a perfect score! We have so many good restaurants in the Triangle, those where you will have a perfectly fine experience, and you'll enjoy a pleasant meal. However because we have so many delicious options, when you plan your next outing, you want to try somewhere else instead of returning to the aforementioned "good" place with hopes of finding a great one that you want to return to time and time again. Friends, Biryani Maxx is this place for me. I went tonight, and I was blown away by the multidimensional tastes of such comforting dishes served in a simple, no-frills establishment. I'd personally rather the flavor and spice come from my food than the decor, so this location in a quintessential Cary strip mall is no problem for me. I am already planning what to order on my next visit, as I aim to work my way through the menu and try every dairy-free item...it's time to work on NY Resolutions, and those will be mine. My friends and I split the spicy chili potatoes, crinkle cut French fries caked in a candy-apple red spice blend. This dish was not what I expected, but the depth of flavor and scattering of onions, lime, and cilantro took this appetizer over the top. We also shared the spicy fried fish, which was similarly fiery and cooked to perfection. My friend who doesn't enjoy burning her taste buds off in her spare time like I do (we all have to have hobbies) ordered the chicken biryani, the house speciality. The spices, chicken, and rice blended together seamlessly, creating a signature dish with maximum flavor that makes the restaurant worthy of its name. However, it was too mild for my liking, so if I would order it, I'd get it super spicy. My friend and I shared an order of roti and chicken chettinad, and this chicken chettinad was one of the best dishes I've had in 2018! They made it spicy, and I am so happy...even hours later as I continue to feel the burn...much like I did during the 2016 primary. Between bites of roti soaked in the curry, I noticed my stress escaping and my sinuses clearing. This restaurant is great, and I can't wait to return.

This place was delicious. Ordered take out and everything was phenomenal. Lamb kabob, chicken tikka masala, and goat curry.

Easily the closest to authentic Hyderabadi Biryani that you can get in the NC state
