the ambiance is like a small restaurant. typically plenty of room. the service friendly and prompt. its the food that you want to go for. i loved every dish so far, but the butter chicken and peshwar naan makes it hard for me to try the wide variety of dishes that they offer. definitely recommended! I didn't put pictures of the butter chicken, since everyone knows what it looks like. the peshwar naan is the hidden gem. it's not available in most places but definitely worth having. trust me it grows on you, especially with a dish that has a little spice. i like my spice at medium, and it compliments the slight sweetness of the peshwar naan. read more

Ordered by DoorDash for delivery The food was packaged well. Butter chicken came in plastic container and nothing spilled. The naan came wrapped in parchment and foil. This kept them pretty warm even after delivery. The portion looked small but it was packed with chicken. One portion could feed two adults. DoorDash had a promo for buy one get one free for the naan so it did work out to be a meal for two. read more

Biryani Bistro - Butter chicken Naan Bread - Indian Near Me - Dublin, California

Biryani Bistro has delicious, flavorful food and great service. The food was fresh, perfectly spiced, and full of flavor. Definitely a great spot for authentic Indian food. Highly recommend! read more

Biryani Bistro in Dublin is one of those dependable takeout spots that quietly does everything right. The menu is big, the food comes out fast and hot, and the value is solid. This is not a place that overpromises. They focus on what's inportant- getting good food into your hands efficiently, and that focus shows. I have worked my way through a fair amount of the menu and have yet to order something I did not like. It is especially hard to beat when you catch their two-for-one specials on DoorDash. Generous portions, consistent flavors, and pricing that makes sense even before the deals. This is reliable, satisfying takeout that delivers exactly what you want it to. No drama, no disappointment. read more

The biryani I ordered came with metal scrubber pieces , so we we had to throw the food away. Never will I try food from this place. I ordered via Uber Eats and the pics are added for reference. Questionable hygiene practices! Stay away! read more

I used to really like this place a couple of years ago and we happened to visit this place again for sit down dinner. In 45 min that we were there - not a single order was picked up nor a single person in the restaurant. Baby corn Manchurian was slathered with tomato sauce and felt extremely stale to taste. Gongura chicken biryani was 85% over cooked rice with some meat at the bottom. Go to Biryani junction across the street instead. read more

I have had Biryani Bistro a few times now and they are my favorite for their Samosa Chaat, boneless Chicken Biryani, the Chili Paneer is the only Paneer I have ever liked, so good, and I really like their onion samosa. I also have had the chicken tiki masala, yummy as well! Ate it to fast to take a pic sorry! read more

Since the Haleem was so good, I decided to try more items and ordered biryani, garlic naan, rumali roti, and chicken 65 on a weekday. I know ordering from an Indian restaurant on a weekday can be a bit of a gamble. Unfortunately, the biryani was very stale and had no flavor at all. I never had any Indian biryani this tasteless. The chicken 65 was not fresh either it looks like they mixed old pieces with new ones, and the difference in taste was so obvious. The rumali roti and garlic naan were packed well and tasted decent, best part of the whole order. I am not planning to dine in anytime soon because of inconsistency. read more

Order from here ONLY if you like spicy food with lots of chilis in it. The easiest way to get a low rating is to ignore your customers needs. And Biryani Bistro - Dublin certainly earned their two star rating. Which is a shame, because I really wanted to like this local establishment. I specifically asked for food to be made mild. And repeated it two more times to make sure it sunk in. The receipt indicates they did. Unfortunately, they ignored my request. The daal makhani was ridiculously spicy with an over abundance of red chili. The saag paneer was only a notch below that. Which meant neither my wife nor our kids could eat these two dishes. The butter chicken was tolerable (though closer to medium spicy than mild) and they ended up eating mostly this, with lots of naan. Won't be coming back. read more

I ordered catering from Biryani Bistro and their food was really delicious and it was a very good quantity. They were also very accommodating and helpful while ordering! I would definitely recommend !! read more

I love spicy food and this place definitely delivered. The egg biryani and baby corn pepper fry were awesome seriously not for the folks who can't take spicy food. May be you can request for milder option. The rice portion was a bit smaller than other Indian spots though. Ordered through Uber Eats, so can't comment on the ambience or service. read more

We have ordered the paneer biriyani (family pack) and Gobi 65! Overall I am amazed by the quantity. The family pack comes with pakoras, Gulab Jamun in addition to raita. The serving is enough for a family of 3-4. Now coming to the taste, the biriyani is Hyderabad style, gravy soaked rice on the bottom and white rice on the top. Didn't like the raw onion in biriyani but other than that, overall I like the biriyani. The paneer tastes and looks like tofu, not a paneer. But this happened to me many times from "Indian" restaurants so I just let it slide. Overall taste wise the biriyani is a 4 out of 5. I chose mild and we got mild as well. Gobi 65 is a bit dry for my taste but there are plenty of cauliflower seasoned and cooked perfectly. Overall taste wise both of the dishes are good. The pakoras on the side are very crunchy, so an unexpected surprise! I would highly recommend this place and looking forward to trying other biriyanis as well. I took off one star due to the disguise of tofu as paneer! read more

First time ordered from here using DoorDash and bit disappointed. I ordered chicken Biryani and Lamb curry. Since there is Chicken and Lamb in the name you would think I will receive some meat in the dishes. But no, barely anything. Lamb curry had 3-4 chunks of bone, barely any meat. Taste was good but without any meat just bone it was very disappointing. read more

One dish that truly stood out and has now become my absolute favorite is their pepper chicken. Perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, the chicken was tender and juicy, complemented by a delightful peppery kick that was just the right amount of spice. Each bite was a taste sensation that left me wanting more. Telugu vallu andaru, idhi mana side dhaba lo dorike pepper chicken style, crispness and spiciness yummy. read more

DELICIOUS!! New to the area and was looking around for a good Indian restaurant. I Was skeptical due to them having 3.6 stars here on yelp but after browsing their menu, I decided to give it a go! Very happy I did, and puzzled as to why they don't have 5 stars. I hope this review and rating helps them climb to that's 5th star! Very good! I have found my new go to Indian food in my new neighborhood read more

I have yet to try their biryani. But recently we visited boba bliss and saw the live stall. We ate pani puri and dosa. Every thing tasted so yummy. We would definitely go back for dosa and chaat. Update : I ordered take out. We were very disappointed with the overly sweet Malai Koft dish. It felt like a sweet dish instead of a savory main dish. Naans were bit too thick and hard to eat. There Biryani is really yummy. And family size gets you a good quantity. read more

Another day, another Desi restaurant checked off. Since we had Vegetarian the previous time, we opted for Biriyani during our return leg of our journey. This place was in close proximity to the hotel we were residing at. It is a laid back authentic Andhra tasting Biriyani restaurant. Mrs. and I loved our biriyani from here. We ordered a Chicken and Goat Dum biriyani. Salan and Raitha paired superbly with the dishes. Ian had a Garlic and a Butter naan. He kept raving about how crunchy and tasty his naans were. *Laughs* Check this restaurant for authentic biriyani guys! read more

I got a massive stomach ache eating here. I can't tell if it's just my body not used to this amount of spices and whatnot so I don't want to grade on that. I will write base on taste alone for takeout. The butter chicken was more tomato based than I've had before, it's slightly sweet. The tandoori chicken (dry) was just that, it was really dry! The fish biryani was interesting, the fish fry got a little soggy underneath the rice and it was super spicy for having chosen mild. I feel like I can't rice this place a fair rating because my stomach has been feeling strange since eating it. read more

We were craving biryani and aloo gobi but this place only had the biryani. We pass by it all the time and decided to check it out. We checked out their menu and decided to order the chicken briyani and channa masala with garlic naan. Since we cannot consume dairy we asked if there was something non dairy or similar to aloo gobi. The sweet lady behind the counter gave us some suggestions and recommended the channa masala. We decided to try it. Channa Masala 5/5 This pack some heat but it was amazing. Whole chickpeas in a tomato base. Full of flavor and was perfect with the garlic naan. Must try! Chicken Biryani 4/5 The biryani was ok. The rice was pretty good however the chicken was more lukewarm. The texture of the chicken was off and I am not sure if it was dark meat or overcooked. The flavor was good and I will definitely return but maybe try the mutton biryani or the chicken fried biryani. Also wish the naan portion was bigger. One piece of naan wasn't enough for two people. The restaurant is clean and parking can be tight depending if its busy. Can't wait to come back and try over things on the menu and maybe their Chai tea. read more

The food here is always good - me and everyone I know love their Zamindari Goat Pulav and Gulab Jamun - they are really great. We regularly order their Paneer Biryani, Pepper chicken or Baby corn and Channa Batura. They are consistent, rarely ever have bad days, and almost everything I've had in my few years here has been good. Their dine-in experience is not that inviting. If you are in the area and like Indian food, it's a must-try. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time, and came across the reviews on family pack that comes with appetizers and desserts. Took a to go, and was quite impressed with the quantity. The appetizers of course is not sufficient for a family, it was about 7-8 pieces of chicken Manchurian, and I wasn't expecting too much. Same with the dessert, you could expect 1 gulab jamun. Now back to the biriyani. .while I liked the flavor of the Hyderabadi biriyanis, the pieces in this one were extraordinarily big. There were about 6-7 REALLY big pieces, so definitely felt like chicken was more than the rice, and that's not really the way I prefer it. I'll probably try boneless chicken next time if that's available. Overall, value for money yes, tasty yes, worth a try - definitely. read more

Biryani Bistro - Family pack chicken biriyani - Indian Near Me - Dublin, California

If you like spice and carbs, then Biryani Bowl is definitely the place for you! This restaurant occupies a small shop just a few doors down from Boba Bliss. I came here for some takeout on 09/05/2021. There were no dine-in customers when I walked in at around 5:30 pm. The interior was decently clean but a bit cluttered. None of the staff had gloves on. The cashier had a mask on, but it wasn't worn properly. The same was observed with the cooks working in the kitchen. That was a concern to me because of all the virus variants that are circulating. It took a few minutes before I was greeted by the cashier. Since I had a chance to check out their menu while I was waiting, I quickly ordered the following: - Fish Biryani Family Pack ($26.92) - Chicken Tikka ($11.91) - Chicken Tikka Masala ($10.41) - Palak Paneer ($4.94) - Butter Naan x2 ($2.42 each) The fish biryani was garnished with halved eggs, lime wedges, and fried shallots and served with raita (yogurt sauce) and a gravy on the side. The portion was very generous (enough for four people). The fish was spicy and delicious. The raita was a great accompaniment to offset the heat from the spices. The chicken tikka was flavorful but dry. Judging from the amount juice that came out from the meat, the dryness was likely caused by the fact that I live 20 minutes away and the meat dried out during the drive home. The chicken tikka masala was good. The chicken was tender and the masala was robust with a hint of sweetness. The butter naans were the perfect vessels to mop up each drop of sauce. The palak paneer, made with spinach and Indian cheese, was so-so. Nothing too special. Service was good. Everything was neatly packed and ready at the time promised. The cashier was a friendly fellow. He even gave me a few items on the house (soda, small container of chili chicken, and gulab jamun). Overall, I liked the food but their COVID-19 safety practices were concerning. As such, I think for this experience a 3-star rating is a fair assessment.

I came here because I was craving biriyani and this place is called Biriyani Bowl, so I came here, hence the name. I ordered and waited about 15-20 minutes for my food which is pretty standard. I got the Goat Biriyani. Goat Biriyani- The meat to rice ratio was off. There weren't many pieces of goat, and most of the goat pieces were just bone. Also, there wasn't much flavor in the dish so I recommend using the sauces they give. It was just like eating spicy rice with goat shreds. Overall, I don't recommend the goat biriyani and wouldn't come here again. It was very underwhelming. read more

We've ordered take out from here for years and cut was always fantastic. I'm not sure if they changed owners or chefs but our last order was subpar. I always get the chicken vindaloo which came with big chunks of potato and chicken. This order had tiny little potatoes and the chicken was mostly bones. Not a single piece of chicken without bone. We are so disappointed and will be looking for another favorite Indian spot. read more

Biryani Bowl satisfied my family's craving for Indian food. Takeout was packaged well, plentiful and a good price. We enjoyed having a variety of dishes to sample. Tandoori Mix Platter-variety of meats including chicken, shrimp and ground beef seasoned and grilled to perfection. Chicken Biryani-I've been disappointed by many biryanis. They are often loaded with too many ingredients, oily and lacking in flavor. However, this biryani was delicious! The chicken was tender and coated in a delicious sauce. The rice was light and fluffy. The container was completely filled with rice and a generous amount of chicken. So good! Curries and dishes-we tried a variety Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Vindaloo, and Chicken Chettinad. All the sauces tasted different and were full of flavor. Nothing was too spicy and even my youngest son was able to try everything. Our favorites were the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Vindaloo. The one mistake with our order was the vindaloo. We ordered it with goat, but given chicken. Naan-plain, garlic and onion were all delicious and perfect for all the sauces!! What a great find! We enjoyed our dinner and had leftovers for lunch. We look forward to ordering again!! read more

We used to be a good fans of Biryani Bistro. The Hyderabad special dum biryani was really good however for the past 2 times they mix stale previous day's rice with current day's rice and serve you. Happened with Vijaywada Egg Biryani too. It's not fresh at all. Within the first bite you can make out it is stale. I wrote this review so that the owners are aware of this. We are utterly disappointed. I hope they don't get caught doing this when the health inspectors eat their food. read more

My sister and I have never had biryani bowls and so we were willing to be adventurous today. When your Asian all you do is crave rice and this was literally the closest spot next to the boba Bliss so it was convenient. We walked in totally clueless. I asked if I can order a butter chicken biryani and the lady looked at me like crazy. Lol We admittedly told her that of course we have never tried biryani bowls. So she recommended either the chicken or lamb. Therefore we ordered one of each so we can try both. Once we brought the rice home our mouths were not ready for such an explosion of spice in our mouths. It was hot AF and it burned painfully our tongues. I do like spicy food but this was a whole nother level. But that's probably normal level spicy for other people. Our boxes were packed full like literally it felt like a brick it was so heavy I could do bicep curls with them cuz they put so much rice. I do appreciate the portions. But the rice to meat ratio was off. I felt like there was not enough meat. I ate it again the next day and it was a little more tolerable in terms of spice. I have no reference for what good biryani should taste like but for me overall although larger portions are great it doesn't make it better. The spiciness is good but maybe too spicy for me I didn't know better granted the yogurt sauce it came with did help a little bit. I'm not sure if I'd be able to order it less spicy if I tried it next time. read more

i got a boneless chicken biryani to go and it came with raita and salan. it tasted amazing - spicy, flavorful. however, there was a bit too much masala in it and not enough rice, so the masala was overpowering. good amount of chicken and it was soft and tender. the portion size is not huge, i'd say it's good enough for adults to share. overall, i would still recommend and plan to go here again! read more

Phoned in an order to support one of my favorite local restaurants. The food was wonderful. Tip - At lunch time, ask for the lunch special. Comes with rice, side, and dessert. Yum! The problem was with the COVID-19 protection, or lack thereof. The guy working the front counter, who handles ALL the food, was wearing a mask -- ON HIS CHIN. You don't breathe through your chin. All your exhaled breath coming out of your nose is spraying down on EVERYONE else's food. Get your act together! read more

I ordered online and was told it will be ready in about 25mins. After 1hour and later waiting at the restaurant for more than 15mins, i am told it will take another 10mins. And my order was a mutton dum biryani and veg noodles. Now coming to the food. There were literally 4 small pieces of meat and absolutely no flavor to even consider it average. And the veg noodles was a BIG joke. Literally, plain noodles mixed with soy sauce and a tiny sprinkling of scallions as garnish. Never seen veg noodles with literally zero veggies. I wish i could post a pic to prove myself. I will never go back here. if you dont care about the $30 i paid for these two orders, order at your own risk. read more

This has become our favorite Indian restruant. They have a good selection of dishes. Everything is very tasty. My husband is is big fan of sag paneer. The spinach is very creamy in texture with big pieces of paneer. My daughter is a fan of the chili paneer. We have been trying different items each time we order. Tonight we had the biryani gongura chicken. There was lots of rice and a very tasty gravy on the chicken. We also had the gobi Manchuria. It reminded me a little of sweet and sour. We will be back to try something else. read more

When YouTube'r Khalid Al Ameri sought out the best Biryani in Dubai, I grew found of the interesting South Asian dish. I have tried a bunch of Indian food, but never a biryani. Again, a few clicks in Yelp and I found Biryani Bowl not far form work; Work lunch is now planned. I decided to pick up the biryani and eat at work. Biryani Bowl is in the small center, corner Alcosta Blvd and San Ramon Rd. (as a matter of fact, the same location might be the former Lumpia House) There is a lot of Indian dish offerings served, which quite frankly looks very delicious. But I am on a mission to get one and one dish only: (boneless) Chicken Dum Biryani. I did not have to wait a long while and my biryani was ready. The restaurant looks fairly standard, but I like that each table has its own pitcher of water for patrons, nice. Came back to work quickly and opened up my aromatic lunch, its ginormous! An order of biryani is legitimately good to feed two grown men, big thumbs up. The biryani is full of flavor. I love how the different shades of basmati rice make up for such harmonious taste. Lest we forget the chicken buried beneath the mound of rice. It was pipping hot yet it was tender is delicious as well. Best part is the spice; it's interesting because the spice level does not wane even if your take a break from chowing down, and I love it. This is my first biryani. And based on my experience, Biryani Bowl earned a solid 4-stars. Adjustments may be made as I experience more biryani's from different restaurants. read more

I tried pani puri last week and it was live pani puri stall . The taste was WORST and experience/ behavior/ attitude of the server also WORST. The ragada ( yellow peas) was hard to chew and semi cooked. They had sweet, tangy and spicy water. However, even after requesting they did not offer all three mixture of water but RUDELY giving only one of the water... which is really shocking and irritating. They had sev to add as garnishing over a puri but after requesting only they provided. Usually sev , onions , cilantro are provided beforehand. Overall experience was worst and never seen this attitude of a server in live pani puri stall. read more
