This review is based on takeouts…read more PROS: - good location, plenty of parking - online ordering setup is easy - nice staff! food is always ready on time - good variety of South Indian dishes and biriyani. Their cuisine is very specific. - goat biriyani and goat curry are delicious. I also liked their meat to rice ratio for the chicken biriyani. CONS: - outrageous prices for the amount of food. I ordered goat curry and the size of the container was way small. Giving me an entry sized dish in a side dish container is an immediate issue for me. I paid over 80 worth of food and feel lit was not worth it. The goat curry had a lot of large bones too so that made it worse. I got more bones than meat. - overtly spiced and too salty. I liked their goat dum biriyani but did not like the rest. The biriyani appears to be over spiced that's not completely simmered, cooked down or blended. You're essentially eating straight up spice which is pretty gross. This is a personal preference, I like my dishes spicy but I don't like it overwhelmingly spicy where it overtakes the dish and all you're tasting is uncooked blend of spices that heat up your stomach & hurts digestion. Others may like their dishes as is. I'm not in that boat. - I paid $8 for goat haleem that was given in a tiny sauce container. that was so not worth the money or the dish. Their prices are completely off. I don't recommend this place, my search for decent biriyani from regional places continues. I just went authentic biriyani that tastes good, is reasonably priced, with good meat to rice ratio. It's 2026 people, shouldn't be this hard!

I saw them on IG and decided to try Biryani Bistro for dinner. They recently opened…read more We got Mysore Bonda, Chicken 65 Biryani, Raagi Mudda w/ Mutton Curry and Chickoo Chake. Mysore Bonda was okay, bigger than usual which means there were a couple spots inside where the batter was under fried. The peanut chutney with it was very good. We liked the Chicken 65 Biryani, the rice was flavorful, the Chicken 65 wasn't the usual but tasted good. The standout item for us was the Raagi Mudda w/ Mutton curry. It wasn't the typical Karnataka style Raagi Mudda, we were told it was Andra style, we loved it. We also got Boondi Laddoo, and mixture to go. We loved the Boondi Laddoo, the mixture was okay.

DOSA! (but also lots more) I had the joy of meeting this family restaurant and also watching how…read moresmoothly the kitchen was run, despite constant to-go orders and several tables of guests. When my dosa came -- it was special. Made of all-ghee, it tasted pure, light. Paper thin and crispy, not overdone, just as I asked, with moist, spicy-spiced aloo, and artfully-made sauces and sambar for dipping -- recipes made with distinct ingredients, different than other places. The decor is suprisingly elegant for a quiet, newer shopping center strip -- and this really added to the experience, so I'll share, the elegant lighting fixtures and colors, rich wood walls and peaceful imagery on the large-screen monitor made for a perfect date night, with myself. The guest next to my table was a chef who had hand-crafted meals at Boeing (for hundreds of Indian employees), many years; he was trying Hello India for the first time tonight (he ordered Butter Chicken). If the dosa is this great, I am sure their other dishes are impressive, too. (:

We happen to be in Everett and we're looking for a decent Indian restaurant to eat at. We entered…read more based on the positive reviews. The service was initially courteous and hospitable. The ambience is minimalistic and nothing to write home about. We ordered mimosas, which was crispy and tasty and the chai was hot and delicious.. however, the main course was a disappointment. The Harli chicken as well as the tandoori chicken that we ordered lacked flavor. The Meti paneer was good, but not great. I happen to visit the restroom and so paper tissue strewn all around. It was a bit of a turn off. At the end of the meal we had to chase down our waiter for the bill. Keeping in mind all these factors, I would not recommend this restaurant and would advise to get your Indian fix somewhere else.

We tried the weekend specials - chicken fry appetizer , chicken pulao, and lime soda. The appetizer was nice and a bit on the spicier side (to our liking). The chicken pulao was comforting and well-cooked. The lime soda was refreshing and went really well with the meal. The only downside was the service- the server arrived a bit late and seemed busy chatting, which made things feel a little inattentive. I do wish they paid more attention to customers. That said, the food was good overall.

We have a nut allergy in our household, so before ordering we asked our server which dishes…read morecontained nuts. It turned out only two dishes on the entire menu were nut-free. Everything else contained nuts. Nothing on the website or printed menu indicated this. If we hadn't thought to ask, this could have easily turned into a medical emergency. The server's answers also didn't inspire confidence that we'd gotten the full picture, so we decided not to eat there. Since we'd already been seated, we ordered one dish to go, and I explicitly asked for zero hotness and spice, which the server confirmed was possible. When we got the food home, it was a hot spice level of 8. We spent over $60 for a dish none of us could actually eat. While there, I requested that they update the menu to list allergens. They said they would. But the menu is still exactly the same. That tells me this isn't a priority for them, even after being asked directly. Restaurants aren't legally required to list every allergen upfront, but disclosure "only if you happen to ask" defeats the purpose. The FDA's own guidance exists because undisclosed allergens can cause life-threatening reactions, and a menu is the easiest place to prevent that: https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-food-labeling-and-critical-foods/food-allergies Label your dishes. Take spice-level requests seriously. And when a customer flags a safety gap, actually fix it.

The food was mediocre at best. The idly was nice and fluffy, but shockingly small. It was about half the size of what you would get at most other South Indian restaurants. It honestly felt like mini idlies. The vada was made fresh, but it wasn't fully cooked and was still doughy on the inside. The coconut chutney didn't taste fresh at all and very clearly felt like it had been made days earlier and refrigerated. The ginger chutney was overly sweet and poorly balanced. The sambar and Filter Coffee were the only saving grace. Sambar had good flavor and the right consistency. That said, the only vegetable we found in it was onion, which was disappointing. Given the quality and quantity of food, the prices are completely unjustified. While I was surprised that the filter coffee was actually quite good, charging $4.50 for half a cup of filter coffee is nothing short of daylight robbery. The worst part of the experience, however, was discovering that they charge a 3% credit card processing fee that is not disclosed anywhere, neither on their physical menu nor online. This is unacceptable and misleading. I will be filing a complaint with the Washington State Attorney General's Office, as businesses are required by law to clearly inform customers of such fees before the transaction. Overall, this place is not worth the price or the hype. Convenience alone doesn't justify poor value and lack of transparency.

We focused on the street food menu this visit and were blown away. The pani puri arrived on a miniature truck, which was such a fun touch. We also ordered the Gobi 65, Pav Bhaji, Fusion Vada Pav, and Palak Patta Chaat. Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and completely addictive. This is one of those rare places where I'd happily order the exact same meal again and again without getting tired of it. The food was that good!!

Definitely make sure to call ahead for a reservation, because they get packed on weekends and weekday evenings. I've tried a bunch of things on the menu like the pani puri shots, samosas, chai (so good!), hakka noodles with chicken and fish, and the butter chicken. Everything here is generally really tasty. The curries are pretty heavy on the oil, but honestly, that's just Indian food in general. Overall, I highly recommend this place and will definitely keep coming back to try more of the menu!

I had my eye on this truck during Geekfest and was hesitant at first but my co-workers who worked…read morewith me told me the food here was really good and the portions were huge. I decided to have them for lunch right away and I think it is definitely worth checking them out. I got their golden butter chicken plate and a canned drink. It didn't take too long for my food to be done which was perfect as I was a vendor and only had 30 minutes for my lunch. The food was packed well too, so I didn't have to worry about spills or anything. I was a bit confused by the bread given to me, I was expecting naan or pita bread but it was good. The food was delicious but it wasn't the butter chicken taste that I was expecting. They could have definitely given more sauce as I felt that was lacking and the food was a bit dry, especially for a dish called butter chicken. The portions are generous and easily could have fed two people for sure though. I would definitely try them out again if I came across their truck though as they do have flavors, portions and good service.
