Biryani Pot

I had the opportunity to return today while I'm in town after visiting this restaurant in January 2015. The same ambience and taste are maintained without compromising. I had thali and biryani, which were both fantastic and more than enough. The staff was polite and attentive. I had a wonderful day today and was able to revisit memories from ten years ago.

As I walked past this place on a Friday evening, the aroma alone had my mouth watering! I couldn’t resist stopping in, and I’m so glad I did. The biryani here is truly authentic, packed with rich flavors that every biryani lover will appreciate. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are surprisingly affordable. If you’re a fan of biryani, this spot is a must-visit!

Nut allergy warning: The green sauce has coconut and peanut in it, so avoid that. The desserts on the thali had cashews as well. I hesitated on ordering the thali and just got a normal biryani, which ended up fine with avoiding the green sauce. Preface: My Indian palette is incredibly weak, as I grew up under the notion that Indian food was more dangerous for people with nut allergies. We got here around noon and there was plenty of seating for a small party. Parking is a little harder but there is space in the back. Service was prompt, with dishes coming out of my colleagues' thali regularly. My Chicken 65 biryani took the longest. Holy moly, the portions. For $14-$16, you get enough to feed yourself for at least two meals. I can usually put away a lot of food, but even I tapped out after half of the Chicken 65 Biryani. The thali had a great variety of dishes and chutneys. The Chicken 65 Biryani had a solid amount of meat buried under a mountain of rice. There was a decent amount of heat here, which was well balanced by the yogurt sauce provided. It was a really solid value and got a thumbs up from my Indian colleague. Would come back again.

We have tried many places this was one of the best restaurants which maintain’s their own taste as well as a quantity. We tried some combos of both chicken and goat it was really nice and delicious.🤤 we also tried appetizer Fish fry which was crispy and tasty 😋 Coming to the staff they were really good at serving and friendly natured. The ambience was really pleasant and cool with aquarium filled with some nice fishes. If you’re trying Indian food for the first time I would suggest trying there once you'll never forget. 😋😋

The food was delicious and very tasty. The portions were generous for the price. The chicken tandoori, chicken 65, and biryani were particularly outstanding.

A pleasant surprise. I ordered a chicken thali without expecting too much, the price was reasonable to me for the variety. The girl who took my order was pleasant, the wait was not long and the food was packaged really well and secured which I really appreciate especially for takeout. The portions are HUGE and they are not stingy with the meat, honestly you get a lot of food for less than $20 with the thali. The food was pretty authentic and very flavorful! There is definitely a kick but the yoghurt raita balances it out. The dessert was a great end. Honestly glad I took a chance on this spot, will be returning !

Very friendly staff! And the food is amazing, I LOVE their chicken 65 biryani it’s the best!!

Excellent food and service. The flavors are unlike I’ve ever had. It’s like seeing a new color for the first time. Just wow! I highly recommend the lunch special on weekdays with Bryani Goat to get a sample of everything. So yummy!!!

Not impressed. I ordered samosas when waitress asked what I wanted to drink. She disappeared for over 10 minutes when I was wanting to order. There were only 2 other tables & one was a single. I was going to say never mind on getting an entree after the long wait & wish that I had. I ordered the veggie biryani & was unimpressed. Veggies were in tiny pieces & not than plentiful in ratio to the abundant rice. I used all of the sauce & was unimpressed with the flavor. My onion samosas were ok. I prefer the kind with flaky pastry. Reviews state how friendly & helpful the waitresses are. Mine was not. She offered no suggestions when I asked about the veggie biryani. I would have loved if she had suggested something else. I don't plan on returning. I will go to Dumpling King in the same strip instead.

The food is amazing Butter chicken and original Chicken briyoni Ask for Anu the server she is awesome

Finally got to try Biryani Pot. I was told we had to get Chilli Chicken, so we started with it. I lived up to the hype, we loved it. We then got Naan, House special chicken curry, Kadai Chicken Masala, and Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. The 2 chicken curries were good, we loved the biryani.

This was like a hole in the wall place that's easily overshadowed by the shopping strip directly adjacent to it. The cuisine has a Hyderabadi twist to it which was a pleasant change from the usual south Asian food. We got the chicken dhum biryani, the house special chicken curry, chicken tikka, chicken 65, and naan. The star of the show was for sure the dhum biryani. The biryani had the perfect balance of masala and basmati rice along with the raita and salan that's usually served with Hyderabad biryani. The rating is purely on the biryani 9/10. The rest of the dishes didnt live up to the hype of the biryani and can be skipped . The chicken curry was nothing to write home about and tasted like a mixture of all the masalas. The chicken 65 seemed like it wasn't fresh, the flavor wasnt as strong as the one from agas, and the chicken was overcooked which seemed to be a big theme for all the boneless chicken dishes at the restaurant. It is worth the time to make a trip to this restaurant solely for the biryani as it truly was one of the best biryanis in Houston. I haven't gotten the other dishes like the noodles or vegetarian dishes but they looked good at other tables and seemed liked they'd be worth a try. The service was always good every time we've gone.

Great service and food both times I have been so far. My waitress Ramya, was very kind and efficient checking in with me. Looking forward to my 3rd visit back.

The service was amazing! Our food was phenomenal. I love butter chicken and this was my favorite that I've tried from any restaurant. We'll absolutely be back! It was also a relaxing and cozy environment.

The taste was delicious we ordered chicken biryani and butter chicken. Servers Uday and Aashka were amazing

One of my top 2 Indian restaurants in Houston, recommended by Indians who know their food right. Apparently as authentic as it gets. Huge menu with lots of vegetarian and non veg options, making it a versatile restaurant for big groups. The biryani was very tasty, and the cauliflower appetizer was a huge hit. I also really enjoy the lollipops and have been ordering them consistently. Prices very reasonable for the quality. And obviously, great service. Overall- 10/10.

Had their Thaali lunch for $12 bucks and left stuffed. I'm vegetarian and this was spicy and tasty. I'll definitely be back. Great service.

Biryani Pot in Houston, TX, has consistently been a disappointment. After many years , I decided to revisit this place, hoping for some improvement, but to my dismay, it is still as bad as it was before, maybe even worse. The Dal Makhani was absolutely disgusting--a total scam! They show one thing on the menu, but what you get is far from it. It's an insult to call it Dal Makhani--it neither looks nor tastes like one. The Aloo Gobi Masala was a lazy hack job--no effort put into it at all. And don't get me started on the Paneer Butter Masala! Loaded with artificial food coloring--just awful! The Chicken Biryani was meh--not the best, not terrible, just okay. It was the better of the bunch but still not as good as Nawab's. I think this restaurant tries to have too many items on their menu when they clearly can't execute them well. Better to have fewer dishes done right than a huge menu done poorly. Honestly, this place needs a reality check. They should focus on quality and authenticity instead of deceiving customers with fake photos on their menu and poorly executed dishes. Save your money and go somewhere else!

After a long long Covid gap we ventured out Biryani Pot. We reached around 5.26 pm and a board stating " closed" was staring at us, we immediately started googling and realized that the restaurant reopens at 5.30.... oof.. (sigh of relief)! Obviously being the first, the restaurant was empty, but the lady who received us was not ' open' yet, we chose the 6 seater for 4 of us and she looked quite upset... can't understand why especially when I saw even a group of 3 ppl occupying the 6 seater close by when we left ! And then we started with an order of soup and immediately the response was that there was no soup, we explained that we came all the way in the cold rainy weather especially for the soup, then she accommodated the request... but somehow there was no warm feeling overall. Food, though, did not disappoint, and the saving grace for the service was this waiter Antonio. He was cheerful and helpful. We ordered the hot and sour, and the sweet corn vegetable soup. Pipping hot, it was perfect for the cold rainy weather. The rest of the food got delayed but when it came it felt fresh, hot and tasty. Our order continued with crispy corn ( A must try if u come here), chilly panner, naan, baingan bhartha, malai khofta ( I almost licked the bowl clean ) and of course veg biryani. All that wait had us terribly famished and we devoured the dishes one after another. We had no idea that the curries came with plain rice , so we had more than enough good food to go around.

I tried this place for the first time tonight. I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and it was very delicious, very rich with flavors and had a dense gravy with plenty of large chicken chunks in it. It was not too greasy, but had a thick consistency in the sauce with a slight sweetness and plenty of savory, exotic spices to it. There were plenty of green pepper chunks and onions in the sauce. The gravy also had more curry flavor in it than most places. My CTM order was a fantastic, hearty, aromatic dish that really filled me up due to both its richness and abundance. Rice even came free with it and a whole bowl of it. I will need to try the Butter Chicken next time I return here since I was pleased with the CTM. I assume from the spices and customer base of this place that the food is more authentic, which is good.

Biryani Pot, Houston. ordered Paneer Butter masala today. they gave chicken butter masala. we are vegetarian. when I called the restaurant, No curtesy . he was not willing to verify the order. other items were also pathetic. Not ordering from Biryani Pot again.

I saw this place when shopping around the area and was like hmmmmm Indian sounds good right now. As SOON as I walked in I was greeted immediately by a really sweet young man. Once he asked for my drink. The server who was a girl took my order and she was really sweet! Service was top notch and also THE FOOD. The food was freaking amazing. I ordered the butter chicken and I was not expected the huge portion they gave me. The naan was delicious as well. The restaurant was very clean. I 100 recommend giving this place a try:))))

Planned to order takeout which I typically do ordered few appetizers like chicken lollipop, Gobi manchuria, pepper corn and egg bonda which taste pretty good except for egg bond which tasted really bad and wouldn't order again. Coming to entree got palak paneer, malai kofta and butter chicken which were decent but surprisingly spicy especially kofta and palak paneer which are typically creamy and not spicy which blew our tongues. Wouldn't order butter chicken again chicken didn't taste good but gravy was decent. Garlic naan and butter naan were ok nothing to talk about. But here are disappointments haleem and deserts. Haleem was very very spicy and full of goat neck bones, rasmalai tasted horrible and seemed like low quality frozen ones you get at indian stores and double ka meeta was very very oily and full of cardamom skins which is not edible and had to throw away the container. Haleem was $16 and portion wasn't decent but ok with lots of bones. They lack consistency and bit more pricy for portion sizes and quality they offer. Also observed last time ordered chicken 65 briyani which had scrambled egg at bottom but in this visit there was none indication of no consistency. Overall an over priced food with lack luster quality and portions. But not be going back anytime soon.

Docking one star because consistency can be hit or miss at times. I've had both great and terrible experiences with service, and I've also had the most succulent and the driest chicken curry. However, the positive experiences have far outweighed the negatives overall. Butter chicken with some garlic naan, palak paneer, and an order of mango lassi hits the spot for me (almost) every time.

I have gone here several times for lunch and ordered the same dish which is the chicken combo. You get the best value for you buck with the lunch combo. It includes at least 3 different chicken dishes and a biryani, desert,naan and a dessert. I always had a to go bag cause there was just so much food. You will absolutely enjoy the combo.

In the dumb daze of the dawn days of a local subreddit this joint, and the hormone joke, were two of the things that really made it a grande olde online place to learn more about the finer cultural aspects of town as a Newstonian transitioned into certified Screwstonian, grey cassette popped in the deck and all. I never originally thought of plebbit as a place to find out about local food but all it took was casting mein eye balls upon one divine picture of this joint's wok fried chilly potatoes to sell me on """visiting""" this joint, nearly a decade later. There were upboats for every picture of the dish I saw from others. I think it is a better seal of approval that I remained committed to finally, EVENTUALLY giving it the olde college try after it had rolled around in my mind for nearly a decade, rather than focusing on how long it took. What's the rush? Rome wasn't built in a day, memefriends. Plus, back when going outside was not illegal, this is not a neighbourhood I visited often, notwithstanding the ROTD I have for Udipi nearby. This was a lockdown delivery so there is a lot of stuff this review cannot cover if you are attempting to dine in with a fashionable mask rather than having the goods dropped off on your porch so you can enjoy over a nice ep of Rick & Morty on the blu rays in the comfort of the trap house. While I was not enough of a memefriend to have stood in line at the McDonalds for the Mulan Szechuan sauce the one day that Rick & Morty brought it back to us (I was actually defending a deposition that day which could not be rescheduled even for Rick & Morty themed paraphernalia dropping and the boomer opposing counsel was really not being super chill about discussing rescheduling) I still go out of my way to order anything with Szechuan sauce in it, whether or not it would hold a torch to the type of S-sauce that would satisfy the one true Rick under Highlander rules. It just happened to be serendipity that once I learned of the ingredients in the wok fried chilly potatoes, from that photo of yore, that this was a must have item. I would have been on the ground crying, more than usual, if this item was "sold out." I like when restos actually publish ingredients in their dishes so you can make a Rick choice, rather than pulling a Jerry. Wok Fried Chilly Potatoes ($6.99) are Julian cut potatoes fried and tossed with house special spicy Szechuan sauce. While it is not actually spicy, the flavour is divinely layered. Normal folk spend a good amount of the day praising the good lord below for all the lovely creations that can be made out of the incredible, edible potato just by putting hands on one or some - vodka, baked pots, freedom fries, pot salad, Mr. Potato Head, etc etc. I just think potatoes are neat! The wok fried chilly potatoes are another outstanding addition to the Hall of Potato, an exhibit I assume exists in Didney Wurl or other theme park to celebrate the true high marks of human civilization's work done to potatoes and potato accessories. I would say this is among the finest dishes available at any Indian (or fusion) resto in town. A visit to this joint (whether in person with mask, or delivered to your porch) is absolutely not complete until this dish is ordered and in your mouth. (If the biz owner is reading this, I know a guy that can make you t-shirts with that catchy slogan.) Bagara Baingan ($9.99) is eggplant cooked with sesame seeds, peanut, and yogurt blended gravy. This dish is my version of Agent Sands' puerco pibil. I order it at every Indian (or fusion) joint that offers it and you see what happens. This was likely the thickest entry of the dish I have experienced, which ended up really drawing the peanut out more than anything. I happen to like a bit of peanut (stupid sexy Mr. Peanut with that top-hat and monocle!) but not a truckload of peanut. The eggplant itself was excellent, with the most notable downside that stems are still attached and a bit hidden by the thick sauce. The dish being thicker than usual in consistency was a new experience. Was it the best version of this dish ever? No. Was it serviceable? More than yes. While I was distracted by and lusting over the wok fried chilly potatoes would I really care? No. The whole epicenter of the meal was the wok fried chilly potatoes. The rest of it could have been angry hornets and I would have been distracted enough I might not be DJ Trump levels of ornery. If it were me I would order two+ doses of the wok fried chilly potatoes and round it out with some more festive naan for the next order. The other reviews are hit and miss on other dishes on the rather extensive menu if you are doing full research on exploring further into the menu. But I think we are all in agreement here on yelp dot com: if this restaurant served only wok fried chilly potatoes they would have unanimous five star rating. Uncle Daniel never steers you wrong on potato and potato accessories so plan your visit or takeout order.

Worst Indian food I ever had. I went there just by looking at google 4 rating review. I ordered mild spice and they gave me spice level 10. The food is not even tasty. I just took a peek at their kitchen and it's filthy. I wonder how they even not got their food license removed. The owner seems like a dumb idiot not even caring for the people to be seated. He looked like a clown.

The food tastes good BUT mild is not in their vocabulary. I requested very mild and let me tell you - I was on fire. If you don't do mild, just say so. Now my tonsils are swollen and I have food I can't eat.

NEVER EAT THERE!!!!!!!!!!! I came to the restaurant yesterday and took the remaining of my food home. just to be surprised with a roach inside my food, looking through google reviews now i wasn't the only one either?????. where are your morals?

I ordered the Lamb biryani for takeout and was very disappointed about the dish . They give you a large portion of rice with a few chewy lamb bones with minimal meat! This is a rip off and I do not recommend this dish to anyone! Bad value for your dollar!

The best thing I found about Biriyani Pot is that they do takeouts even out of their business hours. Takeout during after hours is limited though, with limited options of biriyani; which works really well with our laid back weekend schedule. Their biriyani has fresh and fluffy rice. Lacks in layering with not enough meat nor mint leaves which is a primary ingredient of biriyani. Their biriyani seems to be made in a hurry with not enough ingredients. Their amount is also lesser compared to their competitors in the area. Their biriyani is not really competitive with other biriyani places in town. Their fresh and fluffy rice saves the dish though. We are still glad that during off hours when we crave for some Indian food and most of the restaurants are closed, we can survive on their biriyani.

I like the Goat Biryani and Chicken 65. This place has the best Chicken 65 in Houston. Would be great if the staff wore gloves or changed their serving style.

Chicken 65 biryani is amazing! Their service is great and there is always tons of diners

Got a take out from here. Was ready pretty quick. Ordered the vegetable biryani and chilly paneer. Biriyani was flavorful and chilly paneer was great. I recommend this place for anyone visiting Houston looking for a quick Indian take out.

I wish I could give this place 10 stars. The food was absolutely delicious, and cheap. The Methi Chicken was out of this world! The staff was really nice and the inside is authentic. The parking lot is a little tight, but totally worth the hassle.

I had high expectations as this place is considered by many to have the best Biryani. Seeing as the owners seem to be from Andhara, I thought things would be spicy. But that wasn't my experience. Chicken 65 - seemed to be quickly reheated chicken pieces coated in a thick tangy masala. Pepper goat sukka fry - ok but had no real heat despite the name or the request to make it hot. Paratha - good Goat dum biryani - looked excellent with beautiful color. Obviously this was made very well in a traditional manner. But the flavor profile and spice was not the way I prefer it. I can easily see why many others love it, though. It's just a matter of personal preference.

Worst service ever ! If you want to be mistreated this is the place to get food. Racist restaurant. I coming from to get food and asked plate also that I can eat in car. They questioned twice amd said will provide plates only on emergency reasons. Should I need to come with ventilator to get plates. This restaurent even count no of napkins they give customer. Penny savers running business. Manger is worst need some courtesy trainings to undergo on how to treat humans as humans. I will never comer here Bcz self esteem is means a lot to me than taste of the food. Put policies if you cannot offer plates then you will charge the customers rather, I will respect that and pay the money instead. Learn some manners and then run the restaurant.

Goat Biryani is one of the better ones you can get from a restaurant, I know because my folks are from Hyderabad, India where it's the number one known dish for centuries, and I have had some amazing versions at private homes and five star hotels in India. Unlike most Indo-Pakistani restaurants it isn't burning your mouth upon every bite.

I had heard this was a good spot to find some good parotta and swung by on Saturday afternoon. It was pretty busy but they didn't have anything on the menu except for biryani, and really only the veg, chicken, or goat at that. They didn't have any appetizers or anything else. One bowl of biryani easily fed 2 people and it was very flavorful. I would have liked to see more chicken though, but the rice is just about perfect. Prices were kind of high and service was slow considering that they didn't have the full menu and there are only so many tables there. We never got a refill on water and it took a long time for the food to come out. I would try again but for the other items on the menu and if I had time.

We went for lunch and the food was really bad... Goat meat was very hard and chewy and it had a funny taste.. Naan was not cooked and it was raw inside and Poori texture and tasted like Pappad. They used the same gravy for chickpeas and the chicken curry... Overall complete waste of money. The chef was standing next to the counter with his headphones and staring at the customers and I hope that he could have spent that time inside the kitchen cooking good food...

Something weird happened when I turned 26. Hangovers extended to 24 hours, and I had an insatiable craving for Indian takeout. Biryani Pot satisfied that everlasting craving several times over. I'm still a novice Indian food connoisseur, so I haven't quite made my way around the entire menu. I usually default to the House Special Curry because it's so damn good. Paired with some butter naan for dipping!?! Heaven. Oh, and you've got to try their lunch special. A massive variety platter for $10. It's a bargain.

We usually order the Chicken Dum Biryani and it is very delicious. Never fails to satisfy. Staff members are very friendly too. Cozy environment. I highly recommend.

I only gave the menu and meal three stars. There are some girls who lack fundamental customer service abilities and have an attitude. Even though the closing time is 1.5 hours away, they rush. Additionally, people smoke just outside the door, so if you're a non-smoker and are seated close to the entrance, it might make you uncomfortable. Additionally, I find it bothersome and occasionally noisy when individuals just stand in groups next to the cash register and chat incessantly. The cleaning boys are constantly rushing about and won't let you complete your meal. I do suggest this restaurant, but the staff members require training.

The lunch specials are the best! A cafeteria style tray with something delicious in every compartment. I do my best at eating it but the take home ends up being another 2 meals. Great deal!

Plates and bowls are not clean .. I have observed that lunch thali size been increased. But the quality is gone way too off.. Also they increased price on thali.

The food is fine. The low stars is mainly because the couple of times I've ordered they have been super rude to the point it feels unpleasant to order from them again.

Delicious food. Very filling portions. My son even enjoyed it and he is a very picky eater.

A legit Indian food that I was craving, we ordered chicken biryani and chicken 65, i will order again

I rarely eat out at Indian / Pakistani restaurants because we make the stuff at home or have it at so many parties. I was at Firestone getting an alignment and was surprised to see a Desi place with a solid 4 stars! Usually people get mad at the lack of decor, service or cleanliness. Sometimes that leads to people missing out on some dang good food. Needless to say, I walked into this place and wow. Atmosphere - Bright yellow / orange walls Indian / Diwali style. They even had Diwali holiday decor. The place was playing some cool Bollywood Pandora station and there were a lot of Indian people there -- always a good sign... even if you are also Indian... They even have funky silverware. I appreciate all the detail since most Desi places give you plastic-ware and a coke can. The owners were really friendly too. Menu The menu is quite extensive and it spans the Indian continent. They have everything from Vindaloo to the epic Hyderabadi Biryani to Mirchi Salan and kabob. Lots of options. Prices Their lunch specials are a really good deal - for $8 or $9 you get naan, a main meat dish, an appetizer and some other stuff. Food I ended up getting Vindaloo and it came out very nicely garnished and smelled great. IT also tasted great.. with my GARLIC naan. awesomeness. It definitely hit the spot. 5/5 Conclusion Very awesome place. Don't forget the Hyderabadi food. Represent.

The BIRYANI and the Masala Pepper Corn, OMG. We ate here 2 out of the 3 nights we were in Houston. 'Nuff said.

Ordered onion pakora in return got cabbage pakora. I still wonder why was my order replaced with cabbage pakoda.

Chicken korma: -medium spicy, it was okay ... Chicken biryani: -the place is called biryani pot so why not have biryani right? The chicken was "fall off the bone tender" topped with rice, pictures below. Spicy sauce on side too. Wish I had a little more white rice to balance out the flavor. I didn't really even have to use any excessive force to separate the chicken (you know because I have muscles! =P ) Basil Garlic nhan: -taste like puréed garlic mixed with possibly butter, and a tad of olive oil & basil. Not bad, but want to try more nhan I love that stuff! Cheese nhan: reminds me of a cheese quesadilla, I love those! You'll enjoy it if you love cheese! I wasn't that thrilled to come here per some previous bad reviews. Parking isn't that great due to limited parking in the front. Supposedly more parking in the rear. Located close to nail shop and not too far down from miyako. Limited seating, maybe like 6-8 tables total. Friendly and attentive staff, they'll keep your water full!

What a terrible place. Im so disgusted at the terrible customer service. So what can i say... because its Coronavirus pandemic and all takeout, we asked the restaurant to split our order into separate containers when we called in and they kindly agreed. When me and my friend arrived to pick it up they clearly asked for credit card. OMG, the order wasnt split. On top of that, when we requested for them to split it now nobody speaks english. This is some real punjabi BS. Definitely a place i will never patronize again

Biryani pot HOUSTON vs DALLAS I happen to visit Dallas in March 2022, searched for biryani pot. Ordered food along with boneless chicken biryani. I was surprised to see chicken quantity in the biryani, it looked like a chicken biryani where as in Houston biryani pot's portion, you don't find chicken anymore. If Dallas branch is franchise then I will say it is run better. On other hand if Houston branch is franchise then it pulling the brand down.

Biryani pot is a solid place for good Indian food. The customer service isn't always the best, but who cares when the food is so delish. The Chicken 65, buttered chicken, naan, and chicken biryani are all amazing. My friend said stay away from the goat and stick to the chicken at this location. I would tend to agree. Everything I've eaten here with chicken is outstanding. Super complex spices that are hot but not overwhelming. Def recommended!

One of my mom's coworkers recommended that we try this little hole in the wall for the lunch thali, and we did just that. We walked in towards the end of the lunch rush and didn't have to wait long to be seated. Since it was our first time, we didn't like the waiter rushing us to make our order before getting seated. We had to ask the couple in front of us on how to order the thali and what it included. Vegetable lunch thali (mild spice) - Tomato soup: spiced well, smooth tasting - Naan/roti/paratha: Are we allowed to choose which one we want? 1 out of 2 quarter naan pieces was partially doughy and uncooked. - Vegetable biryani: are frozen vegetables inside here? The basmati rice is super fluffy though. - Curry: still had some spiciness that made both my mom and I sweat - Fried potato dough - Fried chickpea ball: stuffed with potato filling. Tasty and reminded us of samosas. - Raita: sweet milky yumminess It's bang for buck if you're eating for lunch because you get to sample various dishes. Service is a bit rough, but we weren't expecting much for the cheap lunch price. Water is from the tap. I was fine with it, but mom couldn't handle the taste. I didn't notice the free juice station next to the cash register, but it had already ran out by the end of our lunch. My mom loves that the sinks are placed outside the bathroom. Parking is a bit tight and you have to walk by a smoking establishment that's next door. Ew! Mom does what to come back though to try the meat thali.
