Biryani Heaven is a hidden gem in the Inland Empire and a must-try for authentic Hyderabadi cuisine. Krishna provided excellent service, and the food was an incredible value with large, generous portions. Everything we ordered was flavorful, authentic, and perfectly spiced, with the option to customize the heat level. Our favorites were the Gongura Mamsam (a rare find at restaurants), the Vijayawada Biryani, Chicken 65, and the samosas. The Double Ka Meetha and Rasmalai were the perfect way to end the meal. We were also excited to learn they're available on delivery apps, and will definitely be ordering again soon. Biryani Heaven has already become a family fave for us! read more

Quick service and healthy size portion. One meal would easily feed two hungry adults. Looking forward to coming back.

Their food is delicious. I love the restaurant and I want to support it but they need to understand if you charge approx $20 for a dish. The serving has to be more than enough. It has to be so much that I feel good paying $20. You cannot charge more and give less. charge more, but also give more. Food cost wont hurt your profit if you make the servings bigger at your current price point. And it will increase return customers which will offset the cost of increasing serving size and increase tickets. It's just a good business decision. Make the serving size a bit bigger. read more

Traveling from the Central coast, we were looking for a place that served good Indian food and stumbled upon this restaurant. The food was pretty good, the staff Rosie and Trishna were very polite and friendly and gave us very good service. Will definitely visit the next time we visit. read more

so i went here on a saturday night, wasnt too busy. found the restaurant driving by and saw the name. biryani heaven. count me in. we had a party of four and were told to sit anywhere. the host/server was very helpful, gave good suggestions of things on the menu. we ordered the vijayawada chicken biryani, the gongura chicken biryani, butter chicken masala, and chettinad chicken curry. got some samosas, paratha, and chai and mango lassis as well. vijayawada: nice and spicy, chicken was kind of like coated? interesting. nice zing with the added lemon. very flavorful. would recommend to a friend. butter chicken: extremely dank. chicken was extremely tender. very flavorful as well. sopping up the extra curry with the paratha??? amazing. gongura chicken: interesting flavor profile, very new to me. was flavorful and full of spice and tasty. samosas: very crispy and flavorful. only got the green sauce, would kill for some red sauce with the samosas though. mango lassi: pretty good chai: very very good. nice and spicy and deep. overall, the food was very very very good. would highly recommend. downsides: - there's no proper tableware in the whole restaurant. everything is served in plastic or paper. incredible wasteful and def kills the ambience in my opinion. its not too difficult to wash plates and limit exposure to plastics if possible. - the service takes a long time. we were having a good night and were chatting and socializing so the wait wasnt too bad but if youre in a hurry or prefer snappy service, look elsewhere. overall: the ambience and the lack of tableware really irked me. also had to wait quite the while for the food. but the food was so authentic and tasty that i couldnt even bother to complain after the fact. read more

Love this place, authentic Hydrabadi Biryani taste. I had Biryani at so many Indian restaurants but I must say, no body can beat this place. 10/10. read more

Mutton dum biryani was excellent. Portions are very generous too. I think I could eat one order three times. They included the bones so every now and then you get a piece with some marrow, so good! Spices are very fun. Without the yogurt sauce I would've died but that's cause I'm a wussy. Front of house staff was very polite and helpful. Can't wait to come back and try another variation of spices. Maybe just going to order mild instead of medium read more

Biryani Heaven - Mutton dum biryani - Indian Near Me - Riverside, California

I went here on a whim because I left the smoke shop next door. I ordered samosas ($4.99) and boneless chicken biryani (14.99). The portion was good can feed two people easily. Took about 20 minutes to get my order. The samosas were cooked nicely but both orders were lacking some kind of spice I can't put my finger on it. Just different from all the other Indian places I've tried. The rice itself didn't have any flavor and had to be paired with the chicken. Same the samosas like no flavor inside which is disappointing because the outside was cooked perfectly. The sauce they gave me, was decent but like why so little sauce? It was only enough for one samosa. I came in on a weekday around 6 pm there was nobody there. The woman who took my order couldn't figure out how to use the machine and I had to repeat my order one by one and slowly and then repeat again. Then after asking her child for help on the machine she coughed in my face without covering her mouth or turning away. After that she asked me if I was paying with card or cash and I said card, which I should have been more clear and said Apple Pay because the Apple Pay machine was just sitting right there. I did the Apple Pay not once but twice, the screen said "authorization required" and I'm puzzled because I use my Apple Pay every single day and just used it at the smoke shop next door. So inevitably it is their machine that has a problem. I pulled out my traditional debit card, only a slight inconvenience. Anyways, I'm giving it two stars because the lady and her children were nice, but after eating the food I didn't exactly feel like I was in "Biryani Heaven." read more

Excellent food! Always a pleasure to come by to have biryani and chat with the owner.

I came here for lunch thinking they were going to be open at 11:00AM on a Thursday according to their hours online and their website, but when I got there, the sign on the door said 11:30. So I waited a few minutes before walking in, but when I asked the worker if they were open they said they open at 12?? I ended up just getting food next door. Seems alot of their low ratings are for the same reason. This place needs to figure out their hours. read more

Best Indian food in the ie mandatory visit good coustomer service and a great experience please visit biryanis heaven!!!!!!

Good Food but overpriced I had my food to go so can Imagine the bill with drinks and tip so it might be a while before I go again

I originally gave this business a low rating because of my frustration with them not updating their hours. But today I had ordered from them, now that they are open. And BY FAR THE BEST BIRYANI we have locally. I ordered mutton biryani and Vijaywada biryani, and the mutton biryani was so good. Just like home (india).. Vijaywada was a little dry, but the mutton biryani was boom! Thank you chef ji! read more

I don't understand why this place has 3 stars. The portions are decent but the flavor is amazing. So damn good....

Their hours don't even match what's on google. They were out of food on a Sunday evening. Never heard a restaurant going out of food like that. Very unprofessional. read more

I was really excited to give this place a chance. It's sad that I had to drive almost an hour only to find it closed. Their website, Yelp and Google all say that they are open. Not a good way to attract new customers or even hold onto existing ones if this is their mode of operation. read more

Best biryani in the area. Ambiance and seating can be better. Friendly staff. Will definitely recommend this place for biryani.

The food in the restaurant was amazing . The service was also a major factor for the restaurant which was very good

best biryani in riverside. underrated. people at the restaurant are friendly. takes a bit of time to get food but its spicy and flavorful.

Biryanis are very spicy, but roti and mutton ghee sukha is awesome. This restaurant can do better in terms ambiance and decor. Friendliness of staff is good. I am rating them at 3 stars due to overall quality and experience. read more

Great food isn't enough to explain the meal I had. It was my first time trying Indian food at first I was nervous but as soon as I walked into the restaurant it smelled really good. I had the best chicken I've ever had in my life and the rice was so good. I licked my plate. I would recommend this place to everybody. They have great food at a great price. I can't wait to come again and try everything. read more

Great food. Had the mutton biryani. There was authentic taste. Good customer service friendly staff. They give discount for students as well. read more

Rude customer service. We've watched this place go from decent to basically nasty street food.

Food was great. Underestimated the 65 Chicken Biryani on its spicyness but overall great. Service was fine. Ambiance can be better, understand they barely just opened. Will go back for takeout for sure. read more

I visited this place after work today and it was AMAZING Service was 10/10 great communication, the food is off the chain and the smell when you walk in definitely will make you want to try everything on the menu . They also have great deserts I will definitely be back again soon . I would of uploaded photos but I ate all the food once you start eating I promise you won't want to stop this food definitely taste like heaven read more

Food was ok, the service made me wait for almost an hour while they kept on telling food will available in 5 minutes. Ambience is ok. read more

Much disappointed. We ordered for chicken 65 and a Vijaywada Biryani. We got a small box of chicken 65 for $14.99 and what looked like a chicken 65 Biryani. It was basically red coated chicken, and red rice topped with some undercooked white rice. No biryani masala but generous amount of red food color. Nothing resembling a vijaywada biryani. read more

Me and my family had eaten the mutton biryani at a party, we had enjoyed it very much so we decided to come here. We were very disappointed. First of all, everyone took too long too get our food. We waited 2 hours for mutton and chicken biryani, but they forgot to bring the chicken out!! After waiting for 10 minutes, they brought chicken biryani, it was extremely bland and there was no flavor, it seemed like the chicken was just thrown together with rice. The first time we ordered methi Malai was good but after we finished it, we were given naan, It got cold and hard. The second time, it was salty. We ordered mutton biryani again because it was good, the server said he'll get it and left. 30 minutes later we find out that the kitchen closed and that they never even wrote the order down. When we asked for the check, we found out that the service fee was $15" We got fed up and left. Not coming back read more

My daughters love the butter chicken and garlic naan here! The naan comes out so fresh and warm. We also had an order of the chicken biryani it was flavorful with so many spices!
