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 read more

Did a DoorDash order on Monday in mid-March since we didn't feel like cooking. They had some deals so we got a couple BOGO items and we love Indian eats. Our order included potato samosas (BOGO), the chicken 65 (BOGO), goat curry, palak paneer, and garlic naan. Samosas and the chicken 65 were both delicious; dip both in that mint sauce with the samosas to kick up the flavor. Be careful as the chicken 65 (mini fried chicken bites) have spiciness to it with a good amount of chili powder and pepper kicked in. The goat curry was alright, don't know if I would order it again as the grease was overwhelming. I wasn't a fan of the palak paneer, found it too runny and it was leaking when it was delivered to us. Also the garlic naan was a bit hard in the middle; maybe it's due to the packaging? Wouldn't mind ordering here again but we'll definitely do some different items. Hopefully the samosas and chicken 65 are still on the BOGO status cause we'll definitely take those again. read more

I was on a mission to find the best biryani in Houston. Every place is slightly different with their spice blends, which is good for variety. I just felt like the goat biriyani here was heavy on the cardamom? Some over powering spice anyway,and I couldn't really taste much else. Not bad, but not necessarily one I'd come running for again. A little harder to find since it's tucked away on the second floor. read more

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. read more

Some things really good. Some things I didn't expect. They were having buy one get one free deals on Uber eats on three things I wanted to try so I said why not try instead of my usual place. The veggie samosas were good and standard but you could tell They were maybe fried earlier this morning. The biryani was good but could use a bit more flavor. Also the yogurt sauce was very watery and almost tasted Mexican. Not sure if this is a style I haven't tried before but wasn't a fan. The butter chicken was terrible. Made me think of baby food carrots in taste. Just not a creamy comforting taste I'm used to in a butter chicken. Tasted almost like low quality frozen food. The Chicken 65 is the star of the show. Very well seasoned and yummy. The naan is good and standard read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Decent Biryani but could be much better. Some of my friends say these guys make quite authentic Hyderabadi style Biryani. I think there are some other places in the town that are much better. Their goat menu items are way too expensive as well. read more

Ordered delivery and the order was messed up. I tried this place once before and thought I would give it another shot. Simple order but you can tell care was not taken. Missing items, the food was also not very good. Sorry that was the last try for me. read more

Excellent food and very friendly service! We ordered the malai kabobs with saffron rice and salad, goat curry, and chicken kadhai alongwith butter naan. Each item was very well prepared. To beat the heat we had their mango lassi (sweet)... very tasty! Definitely will stop by again ! read more

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. read more

Excellent Service and the Butter Chicken and naan was responsible priced. Would be back again for the butter chicken!

Food is sooooo good. I love the butter chicken and mango lassi, but I'll be coming back to try something different. Service is really good also. read more

Experience: Place is on 2nd floor once walked in immediately got stared at and women at front reluctant to help (even though restaurant had only two men eating) so I decided to get to go. Let them know at the front I had ordered also and gave them name and order. Refused to give me order even though I had paid on line and demanded to see order receipt. Food: Did not provided utensils in bag and lassi was small (small plastic coffee cupsize) however biryani was amazing and so was spice level. read more

Consistently good! I've ordered through Uber Eats, Postmates, and for pick-up and each time it's been correct, packaged very well, and always delicious. Though I've ordered from here multiple times, I've only ever had the butter chicken and garlic naan, but because I know that's it worth it. Probably some of the best butter chicken flavor that I've found in Houston. Also worth noting that their portions are a good size for their prices! read more

I came here last month with my husband and little brother because my favorite taco truck down the street is closed on Sundays. There were only a few people there having dinner so we were quickly seated. The service was okay. For "tap water", they serve Sams Club bottle water so that was interesting. We tried several dishes since it was my little brother's first time eating Indian food. We started off with the samosas with the green sauce (5/5). It was the only thing that I would probably come back to eat. We also had a 3 orders of garlic naan to eat with our chicken tikka masala and chicken biryani. The chicken biryani has way too much saffron. The chicken tikka masala flavor was pretty good, still tasted a little too tomato paste for me. I usually prefer for it to be creamy. Overall: 3.75/5 stars read more

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! read more

I saw this place a few weeks ago when I came to Hilcroft, it's opposite Busy Boys in the second floor. Being a fan of biryani, I decided to try it. I ordered the chicken thaali and my friend ordered the special chicken biryani. The thaali was pretty good, given the price especially! The main dish being the biryani (obviously), though it could have a little more kick to it. The chicken curry and halwa that came as part of the thaali were really really good! The staff was really polite and friendly, the service was fast too. Overall it was a pretty good experience. read more

I first came to Biryani Factory on a Saturday night at around 6 or 7 after seeing the amazing Yelp reviews it gets. It's really hard to find as it's on the second floor of a busy strip mall in Hillcroft. Even during one of the busiest parts of the day, the restaurant was completely empty. While that gave me some pause, I decided to try it anyway, and I'm glad I did! Anyway the important part: the food. I got the goat biryani, goat curry, palak paneer, and a couple of naan to go along with a mango lassi. The biryani wasn't anything special, but it was alright. The goat curry was great and went well with the naan. The palak paneer was superb and the real star of the meal. All of the dishes were a little stingy with the meat/paneer portions though. The mango lassi was average and probably not worth it. Other factors: Staff was really nice and attentive, although we were the only people there. There is plenty of parking, and the surrounding traffic isn't awful. Overall: A solid place for Indian food (both veg and non-veg). Not the best place in Hillcroft, but you could do far worse! read more

I've been to this place a few times and it's been a pleasure to dine in every time. It's on the second floor of a popular shopping plaza and I believe it's new. The customer service is great. You do go up to the counter to pick up your menus and order there as well. We usually get the Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, the free rice with our entrees, and a few kebabs. All items are pretty reasonably priced, too. One thing that makes this place loose a star is the minimal amount of chicken inside the entrees. I wish they'd put more! It's mostly just sauce. Very delicious sauce but more meat is definitely needed. The naans are absolute heavenly, though! Very steaming hot and fresh! Yum! read more

Wanted a quick to-go for chicken biryani so I called this place after seeing the prices of menus uploaded by yelpers. When I called they said they had "specials" going on for biryani, but only gave the original prices that were on the menu. When I tasted the briyani it was very bland. I was a bit disappointed because it looked promising when I stirred the rice more to spread the masala, but it was just bland... read more

Reviews seemed decent so decided to give this joint a shot. For a restaurant that has "Biryani" in its name, the selection was small and unappealing. No goat biryani???? Anyways, ordered 5 dishes - including some kebabs, and 1 other dish every Andhra restaurant should get right - chicken65. The biryani was ok. The chicken65 masala was raw, the kebabs too salty, and the curries ok. With so much competition around, I'm amazed that this place is still in business. read more

With the plethora of Indian restaurants on Hillcroft, it can sometimes be overwhelming to decide which to choose from. Biryani Factory has quickly become a favorite of ours! Note: It's on the second floor. Service: extremely friendly staff, quick to get our orders and deliver the food to the table, and made sure that we had everything we needed. It's also very clean in here! Food: AWESOME and feels plentiful. The chicken tikka masala and the chicken biryani are our go-to. We haven't had a chance to try the thali yet, but hope to soon (I believe it's only on weekdays for lunch). read more

Very nice Hyderabadi food and great hospitality!! Thali options for lunch and desert taste really great.

Came back with my hubby...tried the same dishes and yes...just as good the 2nd time! This time around the lovely waitress, recommended the chicken 65 so we ordered the appetizer...wow, so yummy! Tender chunks of chicken fried and sautéed in hot sauce...we referred to it as an Indian version of a boneless buffalo wing, only better. We also gave their dessert, Double Ka Meet a a try...deep fried bread soaked in some sweet, creamy goodness but not too sweet. Nice end to our meal. Parking can get full quickly in the front, but no worries because there's plenty of parking in the back, 2 story garage. read more

The food is pretty good. Be careful if you can't eat hot food. Even they're mild is still kinda spicy. Butter chicken, Gobi manchurian, and garlic Naan is all I've tried and is good. Tried one other dish(forgot the name, goat something) had minced goat and grains and spices. Was too hot to even taste the other flavors. And their delivery fee is pretty high. read more

I ordered the goat dum briyani for takeout about a week ago. It was the absolute worst briyani I've gotten. I don't know how this place has so many reviews. Firstly, they seemed unaware of my order and only seemed to prepare it after I got there. Secondly the briyani itself was almost tasteless and there was barely any meat at all, just bones!! Truly a waste of money and the worst briyani I have ever had anywhere! I honestly don't know how they can pass that off as briyani and for that price when it was rice and mainly bones! read more

5th Jan 2019 - First takeout order - Another mediocre experience in a sea of mediocrities. 2.5 stars. I really wanted to eat some delicious chicken biryani after watching 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' - no, there is no mention of biryani whatsoever in the movie. I was just craving biryani. So obviously it makes sense to order takeout from a place that has biryani in its name - nothing can go wrong, nothing should go wrong. All the dreams and hopes and the biryani music were going on in my head while I was driving back home in anticipation of the deliciousness from this marvelous takeout order of boneless chicken biryani. I should've been cautious of the word 'factory' in the name as that doesn't add credibility just like Dosa Factory was a disaster. Well - I am not hungry anymore. Apparently stomach gets full no matter what one eats. Biryani was average and lacking flavor profile associated with the dish. Normally in any biryani, rice by itself should taste fantastic - not here. And yes I'm very well aware of what authentic biryani should taste like and this wasn't it. The flavor definitely escaped into some galaxy far far away as it surely wasn't there in this order. On a plus side, people working here are friendly and the to-go order was at least hot. I'll probably try some other dishes here some time but until then, that's all folks. read more

Thanks to my favorite Yelper I'm becoming a huge fan of Biryani cuisine, and we ran across this place solely because Biryani Pot doesn't open for dinner until 5:30PM. We came in and were quickly seated and the service was very pleasant and no frills. We got garlic naan, curry chicken, and chicken tikka masala. It was all delicious! The curry was too spicy but had a nice kick. The naan was fresh. Everything was really good. AMAZING prices. We will be back. read more

Ordered take out from this place for the first time since we were craving Indian food and it's by my house. My husband and I were both pleasantly and happily surprised - the food was amazing! We had the Chicken Tikka Masala which was absolutely delicious. We also ordered the Chicken Kurma also fabulous and the Gobi Manchurian. All the food was hot and was spiced perfectly hot but not too hot and yummy! Will definitely be ordering from Biryani Factory again! read more

Ordered from their website and paid, which reroutes you to a third party company. Got an confirmation by text and by email that my order was received. When we showed up at the restaurant, we were informed, quite rudely, that they don't honor orders from this third party service. I asked why it's on their website then, and he said it was not his problem. I told them I had already paid, and he said that's also not his problem. He looked at my order receipt and said "we don't even make baby corn Manchurian", which is clearly listed on their menus. I asked what we were supposed to do, and he said order in store AND PAY AGAIN. Just horrible. Will never return here. read more

Do yourself a favor get the Butter Chicken and Butter Naan. The sauce takes over. You'll realize you're out of a chicken, and then you'll dip the Naan in there solo. Then you'll run of Naan, and you won't even think twice before just whipping your finger right through it haha. I've started sharing this place with friends because I want them to get packed. Extra: service is awesome. read more
