Chicken Biryani Express Halal

I was happy to hear that there was a biryani restaurant in the area, and I no longer have to drive all the way to 36th and May for good food. I went to this location around 2:30, and they were closed. The operating hours on the door stated they were open, but even when calling, there was no answer and the lights were off inside. I decided to return the next day around the same time, and they were open. I proceeded to ask the cashier about the restaurant being closed the other day, and he stats due to Ramadan, they were closed. I informed him a sign on the door for next time or even updating his operation hours on the website will help a lot and won't cause people to drive so far and be disappointed. He said: “Thanks for the idea, and I will try that next year.” I proceed to order two spicy chicken biryani, one chicken curry, two different flavors of naan, and mango lassi. One order of chicken biryani was spicy, but the other biryani was not. Also, not a lot of chicken inside the dish, maybe one small chicken leg each. The mango lassi was not made in-house (bummer). The naan bread was a nice portioned size. I’ll give this restaurant another try because I noticed they had Samosa on their menu list. This review will be updated once I try the Samosa. If it stays at three stars, that’s because the Samosa was nothing special.

Great food and very kind staff. I ordered the vegetable biryani and it was delicious! There was a lot of food for the price and I ended up eating on it for a few days. The rice was flavorful and there was a good mix of vegetables added to it.

I stopped in for lunch today and thought I'd be in and out. I ordered two chicken dishes and an appetizer. He asked me if I wanted to wait in my car which I thought was weird. I elected to sit at one of the tables and wait. I now know why nobody was here during lunch hour. It took 30 minutes to get my food. I commented on how slow it was he just said they made everything fresh. Can you imagine how long I would have waited if there had been any other customers there? So how about the food? Well, the food tasted pretty good. The chicken was really tender and the sauces were decent. The biggest issue is the portion sizes are teeny tiny, I mean very small. Subtracting one star for long wait time and one star for tiny portion sizes. I most likely will not be returning.

I'm not very experienced in this type of cuisine, but I do know the food here is very delicious! Everything they have recommended I try has been phenomenal! Always friendly service and food is always fresh. I eat here about once a week. Very consistent with quality and quantity of food. Could not say enough about this place.

We ordered the curry chicken and the butter chicken, both were absolutely delicious! Hands down some of the best Mediterranean style chicken we’ve ever had. The garlic naan was also very good. I recommend trying a variety of the naan options they have.

Great service from a friendly family-run neighborhood restaurant. Affordable and delicious, made to order, with high attention to details. Highly recommend the butter chicken and medium spice to the rice is just the right amount of kick for me. Cold chai tea and the Rooh afza lime lemonade were both very good homemade quality. My only request would be a shredded chicken option because sometimes it's hard to navigate bone-in on the chicken biryani when you are on the go or serving kids and seniors. If they had a shredded option I would probably eat it for lunch everyday. The kabobs are ground meat style, not mediterranean style, but good quality and well done.

I tried this place for the first time last night. It was excellent. We got the butter chicken, chicken biryani, and chicken curry and some naan. The chicken was tender in each dish. We got mild spice level, and it had a little heat, but it wasn't too spicy. You can go up spice levels if you'd like. While all of the food was delicious, the butter chicken was my favorite main dish. The very best thing was the Nutella Naan. OMG. It was so good. Like unexpectedly so. The Garlic Naan was good too. All very fresh. We got a lamb kebab too that I didn't eat but was good from what I heard. This place is a gem and is a great alternative to the usual rotation of food options. Highly recommend!

I dont typically review restaurants, but OMG this is my new go to Indian food spot! I just ordered the Nutella Naan, butter chicken, and regular Naan, and its DELICIOUS! It smelled like heaven the moment I got it in my apartment, and it all tasted even better! The prices are phenomenal as well, on a scale of 1-10 this place is a definite 20.
