    Chicken 65
    Ariam E.

    FIVE STARS ! We have a usual spot to get byriani, but today we decided to try a new one and it was a GREAT decision! We went right at noon expecting that, for being lunch time , it was going to be packed, but fortunately it wasnt; the ambiance was mellow and the music just perfect. Service was OUTSTANDING! Our server, Vino, was wonderful, knowledgeable, great recommending according to our cravings and spicy levels. So sweet and polite. We ordered 4 different dished and ALL OF THEM were incredibly flavorful, tender, and portions were very generous. First we ordered Chicken 65 as an appetizer... very very delicious! The tenderness of the chicken and the spices of the marinade were a BOMB ! Rather spicy if you dont have a medium tolerance level. We got also the butter chicken with rice; very flavorful and the sauce had a perfect thickness. Not spicy at all and the chicken was BUTTER tenderrrrr The spicy chicken byriani was THE BEST! Indian style byriani i have ever tried! The cardamom was so fragrant, the chicken melt in your mouth and the rice so fluffy! DEFINITELY a must try. Ultimately we tried the tikka grilled chicken ... be ready for an explosion of flavors! Gingery, limey, with a hint of charcoal. Super juicy and fork tender!! Incredible! Overall this is a 5 out of 5!! Must go

    Chicken Tikka Kabobs on a hot sizzling plate
    Lou C.

    I heard of Biriyani Factory in Gandhi District but never set foot here. I happened to be in the area after a business meeting and OMG I was in heaven. We ordered some signature dishes as my friend Cathy took care of the talking with the waiter. I was clueless when it comes with ordering Indian food. I am not into spicy hot. So, she ordered all mild dishes with spicy sauces on the side. Afterwards, as I was studying their menu, I found it's quite well organized. I'll definitely pay more attention next time when I return. I love how Chicken Tikka Kabobs was served on a hot sizzling plate and the aroma filled the restaurant. The Boneless Lamb Biriyani was so delicious. The email was so tender and rice was flavorful with the meat. Each table has sets of utensils and a bottle of water. I guess it was due to CoVid era, bottled water was time saving measures. I like the service here. Well attentive. I shall return to get my own experience with more personalized dishes.

    Goat Curry
    Krystal B.

    I have ordered from here a few times. The curry goat had great flavor, but it was a bit greasy. The Palak Paneer was okay, a bit watered down. Garlic naan was great per usual. I appreciate that the meals automatically come with rice here. I've tired several dishes including butter chicken, and chicken tikka. Both delicious.

    Wow. The best biryani I've ever had. The style is Hyderabad. The rice was so light and fragrant and the chicken was spiced and cooked to perfection. I could not stop eating everything! The whole dish was only about 11$ too! Our server was so kind and the owner was so awesome asking us about how we liked the food. All of this and more is why I cannot say enough good things about this place. Definitely bringing my husband here!

    Lunch Thali featuring Chicken
    Candy C.

    We were greeted right as we walked in... we asked about the lunch Thali and we told it was only available for dine in only. So we decided to eat in. We were literally the only people there. We ordered medium spicy. I enjoyed the chicken biryani, the curry and the dessert was delicious. Spice level was just right for me. And I definitely did not leave hungry. Overall, I thought it was a good bargain and I would come back. The parking for the complex is very busy. The guy at the counter was wearing a mask and he was also the greeter and server.

    Entire order of chicken curry had 1 small piece of chicken and tasted stale

    Am surprised to see this place has avg above 4 star rating, be aware of portion sizes if you order through delivery the are complete scam and ripoff and both biryani and chicken curry tasted stale and there was just 1 small piece of chicken for entire chicken curry and it tasted like made from left over mirchi ka salan that comes complimentary with biryani. Overall will not recommend or go back. It's shame because of restaurants like this will have negative influence on other Indian restaurants.

    Gulab Jamun
    Ryleigh F.

    The food was delicious! The chicken 65 had the perfect spice level and so much flavor. The 2 orders of garlic naan was hands down the best I have had, it was crispy on the bottom and soft on top. We finished with Gulab Jamun for dessert and I could eat 3 or 4 orders of that stuff, seriously delicious. The man who took our order was so friendly, welcoming, and thorough when getting our order, ensuring we got what we wanted how we wanted it. Everything we ordered was less than $25.We will absolutely be returning and I would recommend this place if you want good service and delicious food for a very reasonable price.

    Onion Pakoda
    Camille L.

    This place is located on the second floor of the strip mall. Top notch spot for biryani and they have good veg options. Onion pakoda is also a stand out! The batter is spiced well and it's light and crunchy. It goes really well with the chutneys. We tried the veg dum biryani and it was very tasty. It had all the layers of flavor you'd expect from a good biryani.

    Chicken Dum Biryani (Hyderabad style)
    Rahul G.

    Was craving biriyani on a Wednesday night and saw that this place was reviewed well. We got the Chicken Dum Biriyani and Chicken 65. The chicken quality was excellent; it tasted tender and fresh. The restaurant was clean and the owner was so nice. Definitely will be coming back!

Unfortunately, our experience was quite the opposite. The first thing we noticed when we entered the restaurant was a strong, unpleasant smell. Since we had specifically gone there to try the food, we still decided to dine in. We ordered chai, Mysore masala dosa, chole bhature, and samosas. None of the dishes really stood out. The food was just average; not terrible, but definitely not worth making the drive for. The chai in particular had almost no flavor, and we couldn't even finish it. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, especially given the hype. There are many better options in the Katy/Richmond area where you can find great food in a much more pleasant dining environment. The smell inside the restaurant was also concerning, as it raises questions about hygiene and food safety standards. For context, we visited on a Saturday morning around 11:30 AM, so it wasn't late in the day or close to closing time. Based on this experience, I wouldn't prefer to visit again.

When your food is ready, they'll call your number for pickup. Water, cups, utensils, and napkins are all self-serve on the side counter. I ordered the Dahi Puri and the Rava Masala Dosa. The Dahi Puri was excellent as always. This time, the potato filling for the dosa was served on the side instead of inside, so you scoop it into the dosa yourself. Different, but still delicious and very satisfying. The restaurant is in a great location near Hillcroft in the Gandhi District, surrounded by other Indian restaurants and grocery stores. Service is friendly, prices are reasonable, and there's plenty of parking in the large shared lot. A solid spot for dosas, puris, and quick Indian bites.

I ordered through one of the delivery apps and scored a buy one get one free special, which made the value absolutely worth it. For the amount of food I received, the price was great. They even included bread on the side, which I appreciated and did not expect with the promo. What really stood out to me was how fast everything was. The food was ready within about seven minutes of me placing the order. That kind of efficiency is impressive. They were also very attentive and made sure everything was correct. As for the food itself, it tasted really good. The flavors were solid and satisfying. Is it the best Indian food I have ever had? No. But for the value, speed, and overall experience, it is definitely a place I would order from again. If you are looking for good Indian food at a great price point, especially when they are running specials, this spot is absolutely worth trying.

When we went here 90% of the customer base seemed south asian which is a great sign. They have dessert as well. There was a long line for food and limited space but I can't dock them for that. We were seated upstairs which was a little cumbersome due to having to carry plates up and down but it was fine. My SO who has a low spice tolerance definitely had a little bit of trouble with some dishes, but I definitely loved the spice.

Pros -There were a lot of vegetarian options that taste good. I actually thought the vegetarian choices tastes better than non-veg. My favorite veg dish was the mushroom masala fry, and my favorite non-veg was the Virudhu Nagar Chicken Pakora. -We got seated upstairs and although it's a lot of going up and downstairs to get food, I thought it was nice to be seated upstairs near the entrance so we got to see the whole restaurant. The buffet area looks impressive. I liked this portion of the restaurant but do feel that space is limited especially with large parties. -Staff were all very nice and helpful. -There was a dosa station. I didn't get to try because I was just so full! Cons -We went during lunchtime and although we didn't have to wait for a table, it was crowded at the buffet area when getting food, and at times people take a longer time getting food. -The non-veg was a bit disappointing as the taste was a bit bland, especially the curry types which should be bursting with flavors. -They offered a special fish dish but it has bones which I don't prefer. -They did not have my favorite puri when we were there! No Indian buffet restaurant should ever run out of puri or not offer! -There was mango ice cream and a variety of other desserts!

These are some of the best drinks I've ever had at any type of Indo-Pak restaurants in Houston. The mint lemonade was definitely in a league of its own. We didn't go for any appetizers, just went straight in to the entrées. The Chicken Hara Masala Supreme. Just wow, chef's kiss. Think cut up chicken thighs in a green curry that almost has a salsa like mouth feel with vegetables. Absolutely decadent. The Steak Tikka. Round of applause. I overheard the owner telling other tables that it's the best steak in Houston. I'll say it's the best steak I've ever had at an Indo-Pak restaurant. The steak was super tender it had that famous Tikka style smokiness. The Butter Chicken. Pretty damn solid. The gravy was silky and perfectly textured. They also use chicken thighs for this, which makes it even better. The Saag Paneer. It was all right, I've had better at other places, but still super solid. The Paneer was fresh and was great on all the various naans we got. For the naan, we just got the garlic and the butter naan. They are absolutely great when they come straight out of the tandoor oven, but I found that they get a little too hard if not eaten quickly. I'm sure they would reheat really well. We also tried the spicy rocket naan and it decent. I would just stick with garlic and butter. The only miss for me was the Mutton Biryani. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid biryani dish, but I've had better that had a little bit more flavor. The mutton was very tender, but the opportunity was making the rice a little bit less clunky. I see a lot of reviews with people hating on things like service or area. Let me just say we had no issues with service. The service was top-notch. We spent $222 with tip across three people. A little pricey but totally worth it.
