I truly didn't have Biryani Point on my radar when I was cruising around Clarkston looking for a snack. I literally drove past it, saw it, and immediately turned into the busy strip lot. What I couldn't believe is that there was actually no review or page for Biryani on yelp! With expectations in check, I walked on in with fingers crossed!
So interior wise, this place is very spacious, and if you google it, you'll see several parties have been held here. There's a small handful of arcade cabinets to the left, and a series of flat screen televisions hanging from the ceiling. You really have no problems with a large group!
After checking the menu, I ordered the following:
Chicken 65 ($10.99)
Veggie samosas ($3.99)
When I initially saw the price, there was a bit of sticker shock. 16 bucks for basically two appetizers was a whoa moment. When I got my food however and looked at the amount of food, I quickly realized that not only was the price fair, but it was a bit of a bargain!,
The Chicken 65 was a large mound of bright red chunks of fried chicken goodness. It smelled of peppers and the individual pieces are marinated in ginger, garlic and spices. They do provide a slow burn in terms of spice, but nothing crazy. These were crispy and ridiculously tender, and the flavor of these were spot on for me. I'd happily order these again!
The Veggie samosas came in 3 big pieces, that were crispy and the filling of these were peas and potato. These also had a slow burn to them, but less so than the Chicken 65. The flavor of these were not bad, but here's the thing....they were pretty greasy. I had to wrap it in paper towels to remove some of the grease.
Located just steps away from the popular Refuge Coffee, Biryani Point is sort of a hidden in plain site restaurant, especially if you're not looking for it. There's two entry points for this lot, and I didn't have any problems getting out of the lot onto Market.
Biryani Point is a fantastic little indian/nepalese location that serves up solid, authentic flavors that I think you may like. Give them a shot, will ya?
