Alex is the owner and his supported ably by his entourage of family and friends. Their dishes are spectacular - Chole Bature - Pani Puri - Paneer Tikka and their Biryani. I am a regular there for the last month or so. Feel free to frequent them and enjoy their genuine hospitality and warmth. Plus can't forget their culinary taste. Their ambiance is of a family restaurant -- no frills, plenty of tables and attentive to the customer. By the way fellow customers, please be patient with them as some of them are not quite fluent in English(who is?) See you later Alex. read more

Place use to be good. We would come here a lot and I would say I am a food connoisseur and know my Indian food. When you get it to go they skimp you on the meat and all you get is the sauce. When you dine in they also skimp you on the meat. Food is excellent though read more

Based on other reviews, I plan to try more items here. They have multiple different types of Biryani to choose from. It seems whether you go in and sit down or order online/over the phone, it will take a while for them to make your food (not a bad thing). I thought the lunch rush was very busy today for a Thursday in July; a lot of To Go Orders. People who came in to sit down decided to leave because the Host/Cashier/Waiter (gentleman) was honest about how long it would take to get them some food due to all the orders they had. I the gentleman for a recommended Biryani for someone who likes Northern Indian Biryanis but not ones that are really spicy hot. He recommended the Mughalai Biriyanis. I got the Chicken Mughalai Biryani. The chicken is dark meat and in a yogurt sauce that is not really spicy at all (maybe some heat kicks in later but it is mild). The rice underneath was well seasoned with cardomam, saffron flavors, not too salty which was nice. There are orange pockets of spice in the rice (saffron?); they are mild so hard to tell what spice it is. The dish comes with a hard boiled egg. I had no idea what type of Biryani I would get ,so this was an experiment for me. The dish benefitted from juice from the lime wedge that comes with it. The dish feels very heavy; a little goes a long way in the summer time. The raita sauce was very thin (watery) but had a cucumber raita flavor. I am not a big fan of the dark meat fatty chicken in this Biryani, so I will be trying a non-chicken dish in the future. read more

Loved the food, it had so much flavor. Worth driving by if you can! Must try the naan!

Service wasn't good but wasn't bad either but the food let me tell you!!!!!!!! It was soooooooo good! Best Indian food I've ever had! Definitely would recommend! read more

Best chicken curry I've had in ages. They were a little lacking in service, but the curry and naan were so good, I will absolutely be back.

Excellent food, prepared with sincerity and care. We really enjoy visiting. They have excellent mutton dum biryani on Fri-Sat-Sun.

The food here is pretty damn tasty. If you are looking for quick this is not your spot. They open at 430. Someone unlocked the door very quietly at 430 but said nothing with 8 people waiting out front. The only waiter at the time took the order of the person that came in after us and the couple before us and they got their food first. It took the restaurant 37 mins to get us an appetizer. The restaurant needs to work on the front of the house. Other than that the food was really good. I will try one more time. read more

Two stars for the food and woman host/server, owner I believe. The food was exceptional and she was lovely... however... the busboy used the same gloves to clear/clean a table which sat a family that sounded like they were coughing up lungs in unison, then grabbed place settings from another table to replenish without changing the gloves. Next, he proceeded to bring us to-go containers, and... you guess it... without changing the gloves. Don't let the health score fool you. We would've been back several times since, but those kinds of habits are engrained. Cleanliness, or lack thereof, will sink a business. read more

Food was amazing! Wow super authentic and flavorful! Service was awesome super friendly, attentive and fast :) Ambiance was ok but honestly the food and service are so good that you wont have time to look around for ambiance lol :) you must definitely try this spot. read more

Saw a promotion for this place so I decided to try it. Called in an order for pickup. My order was ready at the specified time. Tried their samosas, garlic naan, butter chicken and creamy chicken. Everything had great flavor and was cooked well. It was authentic Indian food and were decent sized portions for the price. It was my first time trying the cream stone chicken and enjoyed the flavors. I would return read more

Best Indian food around. Service is mediocre. Order takeout or delivery. Paneer tikka and chicken curry are great.

The food was amazing. Small diner atmosphere. The service was spotty! Will definitely come back!

I had my favorite Chana Masala with basmati rice and garlic Naan. Sorry no Pic of the garlic Naan. Everything was very tasty with the perfect amount of spice. The service was good and friendly. The ambiance was okay and our booth was clean. It is a small restaurant with a great selection. We were passing through and it was the perfect spot to stop have a good meal and get back on the road. Thank you. read more

Biryani & Chaat - Authentic South Indian & north Indian food - Indian Near Me - Rocklin, California

Tl;dr online pickup order was missing an entree; credit card was hacked. I placed an online order directly through their website. $100 worth of food. When I picked it up, they didn't give me one of the entrees. I called them and they told me they couldn't refund anything from an online order, so I had to drive back to pick it up. A couple of days later, a fraud charge appeared on my credit card. Their website was the only place I've used my card's direct number and security code recently, so I have a suspicion that their site is not secure and has been hacked. The food was wonderful, but unfortunately these other negative experiences have me concerned about returning. read more

The food is insane. We go there every week and can't stop. Tip: try the mughali chicken biryani or the chicken schezwan noodles. I love me some chicken tikka masala or butter chicken but the two dishes I mentioned blow them out of the water. And the food is insane. read more

Amazing - the dosas are so good. We have eaten here a few times and keep coming back. By far one of the best restaurants in the area. If you like truly authentic Southern Indian food, this place is wonderful. read more

Tried this spot for the first time and it did not disappoint! The butter chicken was absolutely delicious -- super flavorful, rich, and perfectly spiced. I also had the garlic naan, and it was so good I could've made a meal out of just that. The prices were very fair for the quality and portion sizes. 10/10 will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're craving good, authentic Indian food! read more

Great food, terrible service. The biryani and chaat were genuinely good--no complaints at all about taste or quality. Unfortunately, the hospitality was extremely poor and ruined the overall experience. When ordering, we asked for a dosa for a child in our group. The person taking our order said the dosa cook was not available and insisted we order idli instead. After waiting 20-25 minutes for our food, we saw the dosa cook return. When we politely asked to switch to dosa, we were refused and told the idli was already ordered--despite the fact that we only ordered it because we were told dosa wasn't available. To top it off, the restaurant closed at 3:00 PM without anyone checking for last orders. We wanted to order brownies but were bluntly told the restaurant was closed. When we mentioned no last-call was offered, the response was simply that the staff "got busy." Food alone doesn't make a good restaurant--hospitality matters, and this was handled very poorly. While we enjoyed the food, we would not dine in again due to the service. If you plan to eat here, takeout might be your only safe bet. Until customer service improves, we wouldn't recommend dining in. read more

Why is this place still open. If its still open - it will close in a year. With poor performance no one can sustain Very bad taste on Vijayawada biryani and Apollo Fish had more uncooked maida and fish. Chipoto is better To the owner if you cannot send the Combo have the courtesy to refund the money. Apollo fish did not cook well, Vijayawada biryani chicken pieces were like stone very hard- Doordash did refund $20 but my order was for $50 - every penny and the time I wasted waiting for the food and then ordered Chipotle 1000 times better food. Very bad taste and experience. My family and my friends whom ever I know will be boycotting this restaurant for poor taste and bad experience read more

Worst Indian food I've ever had. I do not know how this place has the reviews it has. The food was absurdly spicy, and I actually like spicy food. It was like they forgot to add anything but ground spices and peppers to the sauce. It wasn't flavorful, it was just overwhelmingly and offensively bitter and intense. The service was also slow, inattentive, and not that friendly, and the restaurant did not seem all that clean. The only reason I'm giving them a 2 instead of a 1 is because they were fairly busy, and it's not a particularly large place. Again, I have no clue what other customers see to make this place as popular as it is. There are quite a few Indian restaurants in Roseville/Rocklin, and this is hands down the worst of the bunch. read more

Service is always good and they have a large variety of dishes that are not common at other restaurants. Ambiance is always busy and there will be many families and much talking. We enjoy the nann, masala's, samoas, chai, mango lassi. The chaat is interesting for a twist on a usual appetizer, and we find the meats are always tender. read more

Stopped here to charge car nearby and saw the big Now Open sign. We are fans of Chaat, and the photos of the offerings looked tasty. We ordered the Dahi Dall Papdhi Chaat, Masala Dosa, Butter Chicken, and Garlic Naan. The dosa was gigantic, light and crispy w/ the sourdough tastiness filled with masala spiced potatoes and all the traditional fixings that come with it. See photo! Everything else was top notch and authentically spiced. Also, we had enough leftovers for another meal! Best value for amazingly delicious food. We will be back! A must try read more

Being Indian and being able to make delicious food, I often don't find Indian restaurants good. But let me start off by telling you about how amazing biryani and chaat is. It is off the chart good and so fresh! This place is my go to for samosas and biryani. I would recommend trying a variety of different biryanis and some can get really spicy which makes it that much better. This place is family owned and run and you can see the true passion they put into this place. Service is fun and quirkily as one of the owners Jashan is a funny guy. read more

My favorite Bryani place. Must try mutton ghee ghost Bryani and Chicken dum Bryani. My husband loves the idly and dosa. Service is great owner is very friendly and knowledgeable. It's a small location but nice and easy to get to. read more

This spot has a great mix of North and South Indian options. Service was quick and attentive. A couple of the items we wanted were not available, but I suspect that is because this was a newer establishment when we went (it looked like they were still settling in based on the decor which resembled an Italian restaurant) so perhaps they didn't quite have all their supplies yet. The items we did get though met the mark and I will likely be back to try more. read more

We were looking for another business and this was in its place so we walked in and had wonderful lamb dishes. The food was so fresh and the service was awesome. It's a simple menu and I was the afraid the food would be Americanized but everything was correct! I would have liked coriander chutney but they got the spice level correct on the lamb dishes. I'm definitely a vindaloo fan. read more

Fabulous! Mutton biryani, garlic naan and a spicy noodle dish - all, excellent! Just the right heat to need a paper napkin, and plenty to take home. Very affordable. We'll be back! read more

Recalling the Tastes of Godavari If you ever want to relive the rich and authentic flavors of Godavari cuisine, you must try the Rajahmundry Chicken Biryani at Biryani's and Chats. I visited with a friend and it was truly one of the most flavorful and memorable biryanis I've ever tasted. Kudos to the owners and the chefs for their dedication and passion, they've perfectly captured the soul of Godavari in every bite. read more

The food was very flavorful as well as reasonably priced and portioned. The service was quick and splitting the check was easy. Not too busy when we went, and overall a great atmosphere. Definitely recommend trying. read more

No taste in vegetarian dishes . Seems that they have boiled the vegetables before they added that in carry

Amazing food! We are from the Bay Area and were looking for our Indian food spot and this place checks all the boxes for us as we have been spoiled with living near some of the best Indian food in all of California prior. The chicken biryani is full of flavor, layered with texture, and is spicy. We also tried the garlic naan which was light/fluffy and full of flavor. The yogurt, mint/cilantro sauces, etc. add even more enjoyment to the meal and layers of flavors. We also tried the butter chicken which was rich and smooth in its sauce. Definitely will be regulars at this spot and highly recommend. read more

The service and food generally tends to be very yummy. I have gone back there many times while charging my car at the Tesla station. However, tonight, the female employee overcharge me for. Folouda. $14.99, I've had this dessert, many times, but it's never been this expensive. It was more than my butter chicken.. But the food is always yummy. read more

We've gone here twice in the past month; the food is amazing! The staff is wonderful too, and they are very helpful with explaining menu items if you need it.

Ordered a couple of biriyanis among some other items. Both biriyanis were quite good. The other dishes were mediocre but not bad. Considering there aren't that many great Indian restaurants around this area, I'd definitely go back. I'll be a regular if they simply are consistent. read more
