I recently tried the Chicken Pulav and Chicken Hariyali from Astoria, and both dishes left a strong impression. The Chicken Pulav arrived in a generous portion with beautifully cooked long grain basmati rice. The rice was fluffy, aromatic, and infused with warm spices without being overly heavy. The chicken was tender and well seasoned, blending nicely with the fragrant rice. A squeeze of lime added a bright freshness that helped balance the richness of the dish. The portion was easily large enough to share or enjoy as leftovers the next day. The Chicken Hariyali was the standout dish of the meal. The chicken pieces were coated in a vibrant green herb-based sauce packed with flavors of cilantro, mint, and spices. The chicken remained juicy and tender, while the sauce delivered a fresh, savory flavor profile that was both unique and satisfying. The dish paired exceptionally well with the biryani, creating a great balance between aromatic rice and rich, herbaceous chicken. The presentation of both dishes was appealing, with fresh garnishes and thoughtful plating. Portions were generous, making the meal feel like a good value. The combination of fragrant spices, tender chicken, and fresh herbs showcased the kitchen's attention to flavor and authenticity. Overall, Astoria delivered a delicious meal with standout flavors and generous portions. If you're visiting, I highly recommend ordering the Chicken Hariyali alongside the Chicken Pulav the two complement each other perfectly. read more

I've been to India many times, and lived in Singapore for 40 years, so I know my Indian food and Astoria Biryani House does it right!! We were welcomed with a plate of crispy and spicy papadums while we waited for our order. It didn't take long, and the chicken tandoori came first on a sizzling hot cast iron plate. The tender, spicy and perfectly salted, my friend commented that he doesn't usually like chicken, but if all chicken was as tasty as this one, he might just change his mind. Their goat Biryani totally knocks it out of the park. The flavor of the rice is a perfect, spicy, complex blend. And texture is fluffy and each grain is whole and tender. The aroma and taste of the goat infuses every grain. This is one of the best Hydrabadi biryanis I've had in the USA. The garlic naan is pillowy, and soft and chewy perfection. The perfect thing to use to soak up the spicy tomato vindaloo chicken. Wonderful service, and comfortable seats make this a truly awesome find. Definitely a 5-star experience, and worth a drive to get to if you like real Indian food. read more

Astoria Biryani House Indian Restaurant - Lots of comfortable seating. - Indian Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

My friends and I were invited to come out to try Astoria (based on the recommendation of a coworker) and were pleasantly surprised! This hidden gem had lots of open seating. The server and owner were super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The owner was extremely kind and walked us through the menu. He suggested the mango lassi, chicken biryani, chicken tikka marsala, butter chicken, and garlic naan. All of the food was amazing and extremely flavorful! You could tell they put a lot of effort into their food. We got about 4-5 spice (medium) and I wouldn't go higher, it was perfect as someone who likes spice but not overpowering. My favorite bite would have to be the chicken tikka marsala and the biryani. Overall what an amazing find! Definitely one of my top places to grab Indian food here in Omaha. We will definitely be back! read more

Have had takeout twice and Astoria has become my favorite Indian restaurant. Have tried Rogan Josh chicken, another kind of chicken recommended by the restaurant on a phone call that I never really understood, and a vegetable saag. Medium spice is hot but doable. Flavors are excellent! Staff has been friendly. Clientele seems largely Indian. read more

I went here for my birthday with my mom, the food came out fast, it was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our waitress was so sweet, the service was quick and no mistakes were made! The ambiance was calm and friendly with an inviting smell from the kitchen. Menu was also amazing, very well made, and they had plenty of options. Our waitress brought out a type of cake made from dates, covered in caramel, and rose petals. I didn't even say I wanted dessert! The chef and kitchen staff also made me a card and signed it, which was really sweet and made me feel so recognized and happy. Overall it was my best birthday ever and I loved every part of it. Thank you for making this day so special. read more

They hurt so good. We ordered samosas, chicken dum briyani, chana masala, garlic naan, and mango lassi. I ate till I was full and even then, i didn't want to leave the table and keep eating. i also needed to pee but was willing to stay there to keep eating. read more

Astoria Biryani House Indian Restaurant - Chana Masala chicken dum biryani Mango Lassi Garlic Naan Samosa (2 pcs) - Indian Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I absolutely love Indian food and this spot was no exception! My friends and I had a DELICIOUS meal with 3 entrees and had so many leftovers I am on my 3rd meal of biryani!! The butter chicken was delicious and creamy--we asked for a medium level of spice on everything, and this was the least spicy dish. We had plenty of rice to put this over, and there was even more chicken than I expected in it! The tikka masala was amazing as well--I especially appreciated the pieces of peppers and onion on the sauce which I haven't seen often in this dish! My absolute favorite was the biryani. This was a good amount spicier than the other 2 dishes, and had an INCREDIBLE flavor! One of those that I NEED to have again, but can just tell so much went into it that I will not be recreating this dish on my own... I'll just have to come back for it! The chicken was SO juicy that we thought it was a different protein. I didn't think I'd like the egg on top, but this paired so well that I hard boiled some eggs at home to eat with my leftovers! This dish is so good and saves so well I plan to get one to go every time I'm able to stop in!! The overall vibe inside was larger than I expected--they made great use of the space for plenty of tables and booths. There must be a buffet at times, because a table was set up for this at the front of the shop. The service was great, and fast--very hands off as you would expect from an authentic spot like this. We got to meet the owner who was fantastic at giving us information about the menu/dishes we chose, and what went into the biryani when we gushed over this!! It was great to meet him and learn about what goes into the dishes they serve. I can't leave out the final dish we had which was the mango lassi dessert drink! This was the perfect way to end a spicy meal. This had a very sweet and real mango flavor, with plenty of creamy yogurt to tone down the spices. I only wish I could make this at home after eating all this biryani! I HIGHLY recommend stopping in if you haven't yet! The chicken biryani has quickly become my absolute favorite Indian dish in town!!! read more

I ordered this on Christmas Day via DoorDash as it was one of the few restaurants open that day. The lamb biryani was quite flavorful and had a good kick to it. The chicken tikka on the other hand was decent but not as good. I felt like the gravy in the curry was a bit runny and not as rich/creamy as I would have liked. Also, extremely little meat in both the curry and the biryani. I also wished they had maybe put the containers in different bags or packaged differently because some of my curry had spilt in the bag when I received the delivery. read more

Weekend buffet is fantastic, excellent bang for the buck. Regular weekly menu to very good.

Astoria continues to be our go to for Indian in Omaha. The food is very consistent and their curries are quite flavorful. Our favorites are lamb korma and butter chicken. The masala dosa is also very good. I do wish there was a little more meat included in the curry dishes, because they are sooo good. Probably the most tender lamb pieces I've had outside of India. The appetizers were good, but not as good as the main event. The mix grill was a fun change up...the tandoori chicken was definitely the fav here. The prices are pretty fair compared to other competitors in the area. They also have a fantastic Thursday takeout deal where you can mix and match certain entrees at a discount. We usually takeout because the ambiance dining in is a little lacking. Would love to hear some Bollywood music playing to set the mood. Unfortunately you only hear the people around you talking. Overall, this is a great option if you need your Indian fix. read more

Astoria has become my favorite Indian restaurant in Omaha! I've tried many Indian restaurants in search of the perfect chicken tikka masala and have found it at Astoria. The creaminess is perfectly mixed with tomatoey sauce and is full of flavor and spices. The chicken is soft and tender as well. The butter naan dipped with the chicken tikka masala is so delicious! The best I've had. I usually get the vegetarian samosas for appetizer and the potato in is full of spices and flavor as well, goes perfectly with the mint chutney dipping sauce. The price is very reasonable and the service is great. Food comes out fast and piping hot..just how I like it! Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Lamb Vindaloo was delicious. Date had Chicken Tikka Masala and enjoyed it. Had Garlic naan and chicken pakora for appetizers and they were delicious as well. read more

This is hands down my favorite place to get food in this entire area. Sure, it's like a 30 minute wait for takeout, but the prices are otherwise quite similar to Abelardo's, so just plan mildly ahead and you're in for a treat! The staff have always been lovely, and I've never had any issues with my takeout. read more

I have been looking for an Indian spot to fill the void Mother India left in my heart and this is it!!! All of the staff was so kind and helpful answering our questions. We went on a Wednesday night and there was maybe only one other table occupied so we have some work to do to get the word out! The Malia Kofta was phenomenal. Tons of bold flavor. Great texture on the balls. Definitely was enough sauce to take home a tub of left overs. The samosas were the best we've ever had. We had to order a second order. They were the perfect crispy texture and delicious flavor on the inside. Garlic naan was a great level of bold garlic. Comes with 4 pieces. I went with mild and it was more a mild/medium to me so warning for the heat adverse to ask for extra mild! I will be back to eat through the entire menu! read more

This is a pretty solid choice for Indian in town! I've only gotten take out from here a couple times, so I can't really speak on the experience dining in, but I can comment on the food. I've mostly just gotten their chicken curries like their butter chicken and tikka masala, and those were both great, creamy and flavorful. They do charge less if you pay with cash (~10%), so if you're the cash carrying type then that's something you might want to keep in mind. read more

Absolutely delicious food! Authentic South Indian taste! Definitely coming back soon!

Good service and delicious meals! Our party of six had a great experience. We will be back.

Tried takeout for a first-time Indian food experience! There was parking outside which is great, and the staff was super nice when we arrived. The takeout travelled really well home and was still hot and good quality when we opened it up. We ordered butter chicken and chicken tikka masala (both mild on the heat scale). The butter chicken was good, but definitely would've been better with a bit more heat to balance the flavors. That's on us for how we ordered! We did really enjoy the tikka masala- especially when you scoop it up with the garlic naan. read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place! Great food at a reasonable price. What really sells us on this place is the pride the workers take in their dishes. My husband and I are very open to experiencing more traditional foods and the joy it brings to them really shows us how much they care about their raft. They are also very kind and love talking to you about the different kinds of cuisines they carry. This place is super delicious, with a great variety of dishes! Highly recommend! Also, the garlic naan is bussin. read more

Fantastic food. Spices were authentic and we really enjoyed our dishes. Will be back, and would fully recommend.

My son and I have eaten here many times and the food quality is always good. We usually get the chicken tikka masala and naan, and then try one additional item that's new to us. The food is always tasty, hot and fresh, and the staff is very friendly and attentive. This is one of our two go to Indian restaurants in the city, and is a must try if you like Indian cuisine. read more

We were visiting Omaha and looking for a halal spot for lunch. We decided to try Astoria and weren't disappointed! We ordered the butter chicken, chicken tikka kabob, and naan, and everything was excellent. If you're in the area and want a tasty meal at affordable prices, this is the place to go! read more

The food was decent. We ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, 65 gobi (cauliflower), and naan. We enjoyed the spices on the 65 gobi---will consider going back for their 65 chicken, the naan was also good, but the other two items were okay. The restaurant was quite warm and the service was meh. We were seated at a booth and was provided with water (no ice). Ordered a Sprite and gave us a can that is room temperature was told to let them know if we want ice. I'm not sure who out there is enjoying their soda at room temp, but yes, please ice would be fantastic. After receiving our meal, the server never came back to check on us or offer a refill. Like I said, I will consider returning for the 65 chicken and possibly to try their biryani. I think I will consider their lunch buffet next time for variety. I sure hope they work on improving their service. read more

I've been trying to get as much fix of Omaha before moving this month. This place has really great Chicken Masala. The chicken is really tender and the curry spice was at point, es buenooo. Love how the garlic bread has crisp ends but not burnt. The order was 10-20mins and was ready to by time picking them up. The price is comparable to other Indian restaurants in the metro area. read more

I was trying to make it to "kurry express" on arbor street but somehow typing that into google maps led me here to Astoria Indian restaurant. I made a few calls after being so confused and found out they were the previous tenants here over a year ago. Come on google!!! Anyhow, I got to order Indian food somewhere new so I am not complaining. Inside, the decor is sparse and the furniture dated. They have someone at the front and one server, but things seemed to be running smoothly as I waited for my takeout order. Price wise, lunch ranges from $8-9 for an entree and rice. I did a side of naan for $3 but I see a dine-in basket is $6. We got tikka masala and bhindi masala to go. These are two of my favorite Indian dishes, and they did not disappoint. I ordered four out of 10 for the spicy scale which was perfect for me edging towards the spicier side. If you're looking to support a family owned smaller size Indian restaurant this would be a great place to start. It's a bit out of my way so I wouldn't come here regularly but would definitely stop by again if I was in the area. read more

The food is always delicious! You'll see me here once every other week! The tandoori chicken and chicken 65 are my go to!

If you are looking for a great deal and a whirlwind of flavor you have to try the Sunday buffet.

I highly recommend this for everyone from the most rookie to a seasoned professional. read more

Astoria is very quickly becoming my favorite restaurant in Omaha! I've tried the Briyani, Samosa, chicken pepper fry, and I've been impressed every time. And don't get me started on Dosa night...absolutely blew my mind when I tried the chicken dosa. Now the food is one thing, but when you consider the polite, helpful, and kind staff, it really enhances the whole experience. I cannot recommend Astoria enough. Please try this place out when you want some quality food and great service! read more

The kids and I had such a fun experience for dinner tonight! We saw that Astoria Biryani House Omaha has a special on Wednesdays for unlimited dosa. What's dosa you say? Well I had to watch a YouTube video before we went to find out. They are basically like thin crepes with different fillings. You also can go through a buffet for sauces, rice and currys. I really had not a clue what I was doing but they were super nice and helped us out!! The kids got unlimited peanut butter and Nutella dosa! They just keep on bringing them when you are ready for more!! It was a great way to try a variety of things. We also had the best mango lassis. We will definitely be back!! So delicious and the kids LOVED it. read more
