Vibrant colors, spice laden fragrance, deep and rich flavors.... If this is what you want in Indian food, this is the place. Beyond Biryani is apparently 2 partners from India - one north and one south - so it's a marriage of regional flavors under one roof. My son wanted to treat me to dinner early for Fathers Day. I have been longing to try this restaurant since it had been recommended by a client of mine from India. He promised this was "the place" in the IE for authenticity. So I opted to go here - eager for the opportunity. A party of five of us arrived We were greeted by the tantalizing masala fragrances and an older kind faced gentleman who is likely one of the proprietors. We were promptly seated and began salivating over the selections. The menu is prolific - check their website for a preview. I had my mind set on 4 dishes right away after arriving and reading through the offerings. I asked advice from the server, a young lady that was quite welcoming. We assured her we could handle the heat of some of the warmer dishes (I LOVE spice!!) Multiple spicy curries, a tangy rich & creamy tikka masala, a fiery chicken biryani dish, and some lightly charred garlic naan appeared after appropriate time. Dig in!! Oooooooh my - picture Mark Wiens saying "ooooooohhhh" (iykyk). So very satisfying! Heat that had the tears on the edge of the eyelids, but was so enjoyable! Succulent curry gravies, tender chicken and lamb, and scooping it as fast as swallowing and savoring allow. Loved every bite! My one regret? The photo you see is the ONLY one we got (the server was super sweet and took it along with some good natured jesting with us). Long story short? Best Indian food experience I have had. Can't wait to return! Epic!!! Thank you!! read more

Beyond Biryani - All the curry and spicy goodness we could handle in one night!! - Desserts Near Me - Redlands, California

We love supporting small businesses. We love indian cuisine. I was very excited this restaurant was opening up near me. I took my daughter and two friends to this restaurant. We always ask each other. Is this a place we would return? Had we found a new favorite in redlands? Every one of us said. We would never return. The food was maybe a 3 to 4 the rice was so dried out i thought I was going to break a tooth on how hard some of them were, the nanny was also dry it completely broke in your hand like a potato chip. The atmosphere was like a cheap cafeteria. read more

Definitely a great place to come and enjoy. There's is a lot of seating. Place is clean and easy to find. The chicken tikka masala had tons of flavor. The staff were friendly and quick. read more

Best Indian food I have had in over a decade! I have been multiple times with my family - everything we have tried has been amazing: appetizers, kebabs, curries, biryani, mandi! The staff is great and they ensure you have a wonderful meal and dining experience! Beyond Biryani is a must try and far exceeds any Indian food in the area! read more

Beyond Biryani have excellent service , very attentive to customers . Place is very clean Food is delicious. I love this place Buffet always fresh, & delicious Definitely Highly Recommended read more

We returned for the second time in two weeks to try other dishes! This time we had the chicken 65 biryani and lamb rogan gosh, both mild spice (for me), and garlic naan. Food is fresh and worth the wait as the flavors are amazing! Just the right amount of heat to cause sniffles but not blow your head off. Service was excellent as well; our waitress returned frequently to refill our water and bus plates. We'll be returning to try other dishes!

Such a lovely staff. I will definitely return. The food was marvelous as well! I highly highly recommend.

Ordered: Daal Tadka (lentils), aloo gobi(cauliflower), kurkuri bhindi (okra), whole wheat roti. I'd been meaning to try this restaurant sooner and I'm glad I finally did. Beautiful restaurant, great service and tasty food. I got the daal tadka medium spicy and it was warming inside and delicious, I think I am going to try it hotter next time since I love spicy food. The aloo gobi had really delicious flavor and I loved the texture contrast between the cauliflower and potato. They had told me kurkuri bhindi was just fried okra with spices, but it was much tastier than I was expecting, all of the okra was deliciously crispy and the spices were nice. We came for a friend's birthday and they added a complimentary dessert which was some sort of fried cheese with a sweet syrup and everyone loved it. They let me know they have lunch buffets so I will be back! read more

This new spot took over the old taco place. Big storefront with the left side big enough for banquet style events and right side for casual dine in. Was advised it would take about 20 minutes and they were right. It took about 25 minutes in total. I walked the interior while waiting. The restrooms are located on the banquet side of the restaurant. There are a few stone benches out front if you prefer outside seating. All in all, their menu is vast and beyond biryani (has both meat & vegetarian options) which is a nice differentiator to many other Indian restaurants in the area. I hope with practice they're able to be more consistent on the salt level and better portioning. I ordered three dishes to-go, one appetizer and two mains. The Gobi Manchurian appetizer for $13 came in the smallest container. I counted 5 pieces of cauliflower (battered and fried Gobi) with large pieces of white onion and green bell peppers. While the crunch of the Gobi was excellent, this dish was too small of a serving than I am used to for the price and VERY SALTY. For the two mains I ordered the Masala dosa (which comes with a savory sipping soup called sambar). This one is better eaten in person. My mistake on taking this home because it was soggy by the time I opened it up. Good flavor, but just not as enjoyable as fresh off the pan. The sambar was tasty. A little on the spicy side (as it should be) and not overly salted (thankfully). Typically my favorite dish, the baingan bharta was the worst dish. Not only was the eggplant mash not flavorful with a Smokey aroma, it seems their take on this dish is straight up 90% chopped onions and green peas. The excessive onions made the dish overly sweet. I may have to jazz this one up a bit because the flavor was just not there (needed more spices AND SALT). The extra garlic naan I ordered was standard garlic naan. read more

If you are looking for the best delicious, multiple variety, neat & affordable halal buffet, don't think twice ; drive right away to Beyond Biryani restaurant with no hesitation. You will be amazed with their welcome hospitality, different kinds of tasty dishes offered in their lunch buffet plus an additional sweet that we were offered before leaving. Restroom is very clean which we seldom see in halal restaurants. Distinguished hospitality notable by the nice lady staff "AP" who served us. A highly recommended place that you have to pay a visit as we are positively sure that we would do again. Thanks to the manager & staff. Keep up the good work. Dr. Mazin Alsarraf Jan. 2026 read more

The food was good. Many seats available if you're planning to go with family or friends. The service was friendly and there was no wait time. We went on the weekend for lunch right when the lunch buffet opened. I am vegetarian and my favorites were the naan bread, pun, mutton briyani, and vegetarian korma (little spicy). I wish they served garlic naan during the lunch buffet. I've had better Indian lunch buffets in the area. This place is worth a visit though. read more

Easy access parking, in a large parking log with large spaces. This Indian restaurant is new and replace a prior Mexican restaurant. The menu has many authentic Indian dishes not seen from other restaurants in the area. Particularly the Mutton dishes are amazing. They are cooked at the right tenderness and the meat flavor is going to keep you coming back. The sause, spice and season keeps thing fresh and you don't get the bloated and dry mouth feeling after the food. Which means they must not use MSG or other additives. Overall great new Indian restaurant that provides a fresh take and high qaulity food. Will be back again. read more

Went for the lunch buffet. Selection was pretty scarce as far as Indian buffets go - karahi paneer, palak paneer, Chana masala, butter chicken, fish curry, naan, and rice. Big problem that I had was that they mixed chicken samosas with veggie samosas and didn't properly label. No desserts (gulab jamun & gajar halwa). Food was INSANELY salty, and no real spice. Service was nice, though. read more

Had buffet small but delicious wished they had more desserts. Service very friendly. Highly recommend it. read more

Experience was not pleasant at all. When there is food in the buffet you can try if you're lucky enough that the buffet has been replenished. It takes a long time to replenish the buffet and you end up waiting for a long, long time , even though they keep telling you it'll come out in five minutes. I ended paying for no main dish, because there was none. Maybe it was bad timing, but I will never be back. read more

Been wanting to try this place out and had the opportunity to do so few weeks ago. My friend and I tried their lunch buffet, and all the dishes were really good. My only complaint is that they didn't have chicken tikka masala, but they did have butter chicken. They served this deep fried bread (not naan). I don't remember what it's called, but it was really addicting! I would also prefer just plain white rice but the biryani that they served was pretty good. It was just a little too spicy for me. I will definitely go back to try out their other dishes. read more

The food tastes great and is flavored well. The staff is very friendly. I was craving paneer and their dishes didn't disappoint.

The food and service are incredible, we will definitely be back for more. Food was so good we can't stop talking about it. Nice quiet location, staff very engaging. read more

Last night I ate at the newest location of Beyond Biryani at the Redlands Public Market. They had only been open for a few days at that location. I looked at all the other eateries in the building, but the unique Indian aromas coming from their kitchen brought me back to their counter. Because I have only had Indian food a few times, I asked the three women working there what they recommended. They suggested that I try something with a variety of flavors. They also asked if I wanted entrees with meat or without. I said I probably wanted meat. They offered me small samples of four different "sauces". Each of these was amazing and flavorful. I ordered a two item plate with Basmati rice and Naan bread on the side. After I made my selections, the manager informed me that I had chosen two vegetarian entrees. They were both flavorful and just the right amount of spicy for me. They were so good! I have been to the Redlands Public Market many other times. This was my favorite food by far! And I didn't miss the meat at all. After I had finished my dinner, I went back to the counter to compliment them again on the delicious food. The manager (whose name is U.C.) told me that there is already a Beyond Biryani restaurant on California Street in Redlands. I am eager to eat at either one of their locations again very soon. Thank you, U.C. for the gracious service and for making me a new fan of Beyond Biryani. Adam Negron Highland, CA read more

First time here was very impressed by the the appearance and menu and heard a lot of good things about this place from my daughter so was very excited. They have really very diverse menu and service is good . May be it was late in the night and many customers still in the restaurant service was little slow but very attentive. I did not like my dish was very dry and kind of burnt and I was told it is always like that . Oh come on I had that dish many time and it is not that dry or burnt. The non veg thali was very good I need to try other menu items for sure and I will be back here many times for sure . read more

The best chicken tiki masala I've ever had! :) service was great and the staff was sweet.

Such a cute place in Redlands. It's a mix of North and South Indian food. I was surprised that they had mandi, which is technically a Yemeni dish. It was quite tasty though. Went with friends and tried half of their menu. If you can't take spicy food, this is not your place. Even if you order mild, it will still come spicy. My friend had her palak paneer to go Their Chana Chaat is one of the best dishes on the menu. Highly recommend. Their gulab jamun was a very different version of what I'm used to. Not my favorite. Their grilled meats were good. Recommend! I missed a bit more of the flavor and could do without the huge amount of heavy cream in the Chicken Tikka Masala- it was beige/cream color instead of the regular creamy tomato color. Mango Lassi was very thick and very tasty. Service was attentive and very friendly. Thank you Shout out to the older gentleman who kept on checking on us! read more

Food was delicious! I recommend the Royal Thali if you wanna try a little bit of everything. Service was good, not a big fan of the rose lassi, it was too watery and not quite sweet enough. But would definitely return to try other food on the menu! also Loma Linda employees get a discount! read more

The food is so delicious it leaves you wanting more. They offer a great lunch buffet for $16.99 per person. The butter chicken was outstanding--rich, tender, and full of flavor. The service was excellent, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. This is a local spot worth supporting, and it's well worth a visit. The chai tea was also exceptional--easily the best I've had. read more

Good spice level and flavor. Would order here again. Only thing that would've been helpful is a label as to what was what since some of the curries can look similar and we had ordered for several people. read more

First time dining at this restaurant and I loved it!!! I came to celebrate my birthday and I wanted to try Indian food but I wasn't too sure what to expect since Ii didn't know many of the dishes and type of food. The staff was very welcoming and allowed us to look at the buffet and the à la carte menu before we even sat down to decide what we wanted to eat. After asking the waitress for recommendations we decided to start with samosas and they were amazing but when we got the main dish I was stunned with the flavors I felt from the butter chicken, it was perfect. Overall and amazing experience and the price at the end was wayy lower than expected despite being a really nice ambiance and food decoration. This place deserves nothing but success because the food and service are worth it read more

walked in and met the very sweet owner who welcomed me in. I decided to try this place out and try their buffet and it was a truly great experience! The food tasted amazing and was very good. Not much to select from but still some really tasty options. read more

Food was delicious. We got the butter chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala all of it was wonderful. We also got Vijayawada Biryani spice level: medium, it happened to be pretty spicy but very yummy. The waitress was very sweet. The only downside was it took quite a bit of time to receive our food but it was totally worth the wait .im assuming the wait is because everything is made to order, because it come out hot and fresh(: Will definitely be returning read more

We made reservations at this restaurant and when we got there, it was not crowded at all. The service was extremely slow, although they were very nice and the food was very good, but the service was slow. They don't have a liquor license so there's nothing to drink and the water came very slowly. Overall the food was very good and you can see that they took care but the restaurant was decorated OK and again the server was very sweet very slow and kind of a turn off. It's very spicy, but I think the quality of fruit food was good. The restaurant gave me vibes between fast food and trying to be nicer. I think they need more servers and a liquor license. This restaurant has potential, but it needs some work for it to survive. read more

I am delighted to visit this authentic Indian restaurant. We had the signature - Hyderabadi dum biryani. It was mouth watering and one of the best I tested so far. The ambience and service is exquisite. The restaurant is spacious with nice aesthetic sense. Beyond Biryani is my go-to place for Indian food in Redlands area now. I highly recommend it for lunch/dinner and small party event. read more

An absolute delight from start to finish! The fish biryani was outstanding--perfectly cooked, fragrant rice layered with authentic spices and beautifully balanced blends that tasted truly traditional, not overpowering but deeply flavorful. Every bite felt thoughtful and soulful. The chole kulcha was just as impressive with that unmistakable authentic spice profile, paired with soft, fresh kulchas that completed the dish perfectly. What really elevated the experience was the freshness and artistic presentation of each dish. The plating was elegant and inviting, showing real care and pride in the food. And a special shoutout to the hospitality- warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience feel even more special. You don't just eat here, you're truly taken care of. Highly recommend and can't wait to return! read more

We ordered food to go and it was delicious. We had the butter chicken, lamb rogan gosh, mutton dum biryani, & garlic naan. The portions were nicely sized & price was reasonable. It's located right off of Barton Rd & California. There is a good amount of parking. Would definitely go there again read more

I was excited to eat here, but it was a very disappointing experience. The food was undercooked, which is unacceptable and the staff were rude. Because of that, I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

I got the boneless chicken biryani and it was very dry, lacked flavor and the chicken was dry and chewy and there was hardly any chicken, literally about 5 peices the size of my thumb. Maybe I'll try their curry and other popular dishes. read more

New Favorite Local Spot! We used to drive out of town for good sit down Indian. We saw Beyond Biryani a few weeks ago and were thrilled to finally try it last night. The restaurant is cozy and clean with great traditional Indian music. The service was fantastic! Everyone shared their service with a genuine smile. Perry was our waitress and happily spent some time sharing with us about how the family business came to be. She was really delightful and fun to chat with. And, oh my goodness, the food! We got the Chicken 65 Biryani, the Lamb Tikka Masala, and the garlic naan. We could tell from the first bite that it was made with care. Everything is marinated and slow cooked to perfection! The rice was so flavorful. We got our spice level at medium and it was perfect! Just the right amount of kick, but not overwhelmingly spicy. And the naan was puffy and slightly crispy. Absolutely perfect! They are starting a buffet option soon, so that would be the perfect way to try several dishes. Perry shared that they haven't really started advertising yet except by word of mouth, so here it is... GO TO BEYOND BIRYANI!!!! You will not be disappointed! read more

My wife and I visited because she was craving biryani. She got the Dum Chicken Biryani, I got the Dum Mutton. Both were excellent. Price was reasonable. Ambiance of the place was excellent. Felt brand new, like it had just opened. We can't wait to go back. read more
