    Veg Dum Biryani

    This place could be hit or miss. The curries are just ok and few of the biryani's are either average or good. The ambience is just what you see in an average strip mall restaurant. The service is basic and the cleanliness average. I would recommend this place for to-go food rather than a dine-in experience.

    Y'all sleeping' on this place! Came on a Saturday for dinner and it was mostly empty. After taking my first bite I couldn't believe there wasn't a line out the door. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent and it satisfied my craving for good Indian food in the Austin area. Curry on over to this place and spread the word. Bring your appetite

    SERVICE/AMBIANCE: - Plenty of parking - The restaurant was very clean and the interior was nicely decorated - There was a language barrier and our waitress didn't really seem to speak language - We went on a Saturday night and were the only ones in the restaurant, which maybe should have been telling... FOOD: - There was complimentary fried chips and chutney. We ordered butter chicken, garlic naan, and goat dum biryani. The butter chicken was good, but nothing amazing. The goat dum biryani was horrible. When it came out, I was surprised because it looked like plain white rice. It was very dry and there wasn't much meat. The taste of cardamom was way too strong and overpowering.

    Food was all packed with flavor. I would have enjoyed fewer bones in the goat sukkha but it wasn't too bad. Biriyani was a bit too heavy with cardamom the chutney and raita that came with it helped bring down the strong cardamom flavor. Tandoori roti was good but they did feel a bit thin and brittle, so I'm assuming they were out for a while and not freshly made. Would have been great to get freshly made food. Chicken chettinad nailed it. Especially with the white basmati mixed in. Service was good. Waitress couldn't answer some basic questions that we asked but we figured it out. It was a bit slow for a Saturday lunch service but we didn't complain because that meant faster service for us! lol ambiance was good overall and a bit airy

    This place is my favorite Indian restaurant in Austin. Its around a mile from my apartment so I'm here easily 2-3 times a month. Things I've tried: * chicken tikka masala (duh) * Andhra spicy chicken curry * Chicken Vindaloo * Lamb Saag * Lamb Rogan Josh * and many more... Things I've LOVED: * chicken tikka masala (duh) * Andhra spicy chicken curry * Chicken Vindaloo * Lamb Saag * Lamb Rogan Josh * and many more... No indoor seating! Just get your food and run! (it's the type of meal you want to be on your couch in loose pants for anyways...)

    This place was AMAZING! For my first time having Indian food...I was very impressed. We picked one menu item to share then asked our server to pick us a second. I notice when I have a server pick a dish often times they point out something expensive but our server picked a great dish that was on the cheaper side which makes me feel it was an honest recommendation. The portions were also huge (My boyfriend typically eats an entire pizza by himself) and we didn't finish all the food. The flavors were vibrant and appetizing and. The service was fast and friendly the entire time and when I called ahead. This is a must try and we will definitely be back!! I love that tables are all set when you walk in to give it an extra fancy feel and they are placed upside down on mats to maintain cleanliness standards. In total we paid about $45 and ate out leftover for dinner so price wise this place definitely holds its value. Thank you to the staff for a great meal!

    Ask the Community - Biryani & Co.

    Is the head chef Pakistani or Indian? That determines the food taste a lot in my opinion.

    He is Indian, to be specific South Indian, it's more of Hyderabadi Cuisine

    Does it have a lunch buffet?

    Biryani & Co. Doesn't serve regular lunch buffet but they do serve complimentary salad/soup/appetizer bar during weekdays lunch times. Its our regular team lunch place and we love their food and service.

I asked for my order to be not spicy because I have a toddler to feed as well and unfortunately it was still moderately spicy, so my toddler wasnt able to eat the main dishes :/ The chicken tikka masala was okay, pretty tomato forward and felt a lil bland. The chicken was tender though. Same with the saag paneer. they did give me a good portion for both entrees but it was also not as flavorful as some others ive had. dont think I would come back. Would probably try a different spot next time. In the past I have had Northern Indian food that is creamier and the flavor profiles are pretty different. This spot isnt bad though. Samosas were average nothing crazy, the potato filling was bland and outer shell could have been crispier. They also did not give any chutney for the samosas which was a bit disappointing as well.

When they were walking out with the sizzling skillet I was thinking who ordered this?! And it was me. lol the Brussels sprouts had a great flavor and I enjoyed this as well as the momos.

I tried the Ulavacharu soup--absolutely delicious. It's main ingredient is horse gram, which apparently is in the legume family. It wasn't like any soup I've had before, so description is a bit tough. It was fairly spicy to start with, but less so as I kept eating it. The only things I could identify was ground up horse gram, some sweet onions, and some thinly shaved ginger, but it had a lot of complexity. Highly recommend that and the rose milk (especially if you need some relief from the spiciness when you start out.) I had a little bit of my friend's butter chicken sauce, and that was excellent too. More heavily tomato-based than I'm used to, but a lot of depth of flavor. I'd happily order that in the future. I can't wait to come back and try their buffet when my diet restrictions are over :) Service was great. I asked if a few of the menu items have coconut in them since I'm allergic, and our server double checked with the kitchen for me and was very nice about it. Really pretty dining room as well. The location isn't as central as I'd like, but that does make it easy to find parking in the lot. Definitely recommend!

Before going, we browsed the online menu, and what immediately caught my attention was the focus on the west coast of India, especially Goa, Mangalore, and Kerala. It was refreshing to see something beyond the usual North Indian or standard South Indian fare that most restaurants tend to offer. We were tempted to order widely, but in the end we chose two starters and one entrée. The mushroom and paneer starters were both excellent, yet very different from each other. The paneer was smooth and rich, almost comforting in its finish, while the mushroom dish had a gentle tang that brightened every bite. The contrast worked beautifully. For the entrée, we chose the Bunt Kori Gassi, a Mangalorean chicken dish. The flavors were delicate and well balanced, with spices that enhanced rather than overwhelmed. We paired it with Malabar parottas and aappams, which were perfect for soaking up the gravy. Even the complimentary rice stood out. It was not the usual basmati, but a more local variety, a small detail that showed the thoughtfulness behind the meal. The sol kadhi, made with kokum, brought back memories of home. It had that familiar cooling tang that is hard to replicate. We finished with mango kulfi, which was subtle, not overly sweet, and a gentle way to end the meal. The chef came out to greet us personally, which made the experience even more meaningful. He explained that they use mostly organic ingredients and avoid artificial colors. We shared our appreciation for both the food and the service and left hoping they continue to maintain these standards. The menu is already being expanded, including a section for more traditional Indian restaurant offerings. We are looking forward to returning and exploring more of what they have to offer.
