    Egg Biryani
    Elizabeth N.

    Biryani Hub was a 5/5 experience with authentic flavors. The egg biryani was excellent and our top recommendation over the malai kofta. We appreciated that peanut curry and raita were included, and our server, Harish, was friendly and accommodating. The spice level is authentic, so expect some heat. Bring cash for a 10% discount.

    Came here for dinner a little after 6pm. The food was good however we were disappointed with the service and especially our server. We ordered appetizers and then we wanted to wait to order dinner. The waiter was taken aback and said usually our people eat dinner later, because we are Indian he was making a bit of a racist remark and an assumption. It was inappropriate and rude. Then he basically forced us to order dinner right then and there. Then when we had barely touched the appetizers all of the food came out. When this happened we told the waiter we didn't want all of the food right away and that we were disappointed. He just looked at us and smirked. It's not even like the restaurant was very busy, there were plenty of open tables as you can see in my photos. When we left all of the waiters were standing in the front talking. I think they just didn't want us to stay for that long I don't know. Even though the food was good I'd rather go somewhere else where we aren't treated so badly. Based on glancing at other reviews the waiters are just rude so I guess it's nothing abnormal here

    Great service and great food! First off, definitely do not judge this restaurant by its cover! The outside and location of this place was a little sketchy but once you step in, it's completely different! Service was simple and easy, food came out fresh and hot! By hot, I mean real spice! Definitely watch their spice levels, we ordered the "American Medium" and we were sweating!

    I come here every single weekend or pick up food from here every single weekend. Without a doubt the best place for Indian food in all the near by cities. The service is good, I've never had a bad experience. The food is absolutely amazing and not expensive. The ambiance is okay it's your normal restaurant. If you want to eat good Indian food, this is the place to go. Just make sure you verify whether you want it American spicy or Indian spicy.

    Perfect for takeout to eat in a hotel because they offered takeout plates! Very good Chettinad Lamb Curry and Chicken Masala

    In Norfolk for a work trip and had to find somewhere to eat at 9pm on a Sunday night. Thankfully this place was open so decided to give it a try. Chicken Tikka masala curry was nice and creamy with lots of meat. Worker convinced me try the Chettinad curry with lamb. It was really tasty! A darker curry like Rogan Josh curry but with more herbs and flavor. Lots of meat as well. The best part is that they can make it actually very spicy! A lot of Indian restaurants don't make it spicy enough. Got me sweating! (They can also make it non spicy of course). I travel frequently for work and this is the first time a worker asked me if I wanted paper plates (Styrofoam) to go which was super considerate and convenient for me since I was eating in a hotel. They're like half bowl/plates so it keeps the curry in. My only complaint is that the garlic Naan didn't have enough garlic taste to it, and the Naan was a little thicker than I like. But not a bid deal. Oh, and you also get 15% off if you use cash!

    Boy talk about indian food this place is on point but be mindful of the spice levels, they have indian spicy level and the American spicy level I ordered the indian mild and a few second i started sniffing like watching a sad movie, it's authentic. The service is outstanding the service is fast and the servers are polite and actually Indians from India with the head shake, the manager is very engaged with the customers makes you feel very welcome. Ambience is on point as soon as you walk in you know you're in India, the smell, the design and majority of the people including the customers.

    Wish I could give more stars since the service was great - we were greeted as soon as we entered, we indicated we wanted to sit in the back area and they accommodated us wanting a booth so we can seat comfortably on their cushioned bench and have elbow room to spread out. Tap Water bottle was already filled with 4 wine glasses on the table. They removed the extra place settings. The white plates slightly dusty seemingly due to being set on the table for some time and stainless steel spoon and fork wrapped in paper napkin secured by paper stickies were available. The onion pakora was slightly over-fried, dark brown with burnt edges. The mint chutney dip and tamarind dip were of good consistency, not watered down. The chicken tikka masala came with 5 bite sized chunks of (where's the) chicken? The broth was enough for dipping with naan. Speaking of naan, we ordered 2 portions, both of which were undercooked on the side where the garlic butter is smeared. Dal Makhani was okay, nothing memorable. The rice was dry and didn't taste fresh. The parking lot isn't well lit, maybe would get better turnout if it doesn't seem closed all the time.

When you enter, you order at the counter. If you are dining in, you choose where you'd like to sit, and your food is brought out on trays. They do use paper plates and plastic utensils, but again, it is fast-casual. They have a vegetarian side of the menu and then a side with meat. The only meat they offer is chicken. We got the Chicken Biryani and the Chicken Curry and garlic naan. We asked for it to be VERY mild. The flavor was all very good but I would not call it mild lol that's probably my only complaint - it was a little too spicy for me. I have been to other Indian places that offer American mild, medium, hot AND indian mild, medium, hot. I think they realize that they are able to tolerate a lot more spice! I would say my meal was probably "Indian" mild. I realize spice is subjective, and I am a wimp! They offer a variety of different drinks in their cooler and they have a filtered water station. They do not offer ice at all. Our food came out very fast but was still PIPING hot and fresh! The customer service was excellent. The gentlemen at the counter was extremely nice! During our meal one of the women from the kitchen came out to use the restroom but stopped to ask us how our meal was and to let them know if we needed anything. Very sweet people! I would absolutely recommend this place for a flavor, service, and If you like spicy!

She and I were immediately seated, but our server took a while to come over despite it not being very busy. After leaving us with menus, it was a while before he returned. By the time he came to ask us what we wanted to drink, we had already decided on our appetizers and meals. Our food came out in a timely manner. It was hot...both in temp and spice! For an appetizer, we ordered the Grand Sampler (nothing on it was spicy). It came with fried fish, chicken bites, and 2 jumbo shrimp with a small serving of tamarind sauce and mint chutney sauce. The fish with the tamarind was % on point! That sauce actually went well with everything. The mint chutney lacked flavor. For dinner, we ordered tikka masala and butter chicken, both which came with basmati rice. When ordering, we were asked about our preferred spice level, 1-5. We said 3, thinking it would be a safe choice...but we were mistaken. Our mouths were on fire ! Don't get me wrong, the flavor was poppin', especially the butter chicken, but both dishes were very spicy. The one thing our server did do well was keep our glasses filled with water. We definitely needed it! For dessert, we shared the Gulab Jamun, 2 donut holes soaked in a light syrup. It wasn't our favorite, but it was cool to try something new. My daughter and I will definitely be back to check out some other menu items...but we will not be ordering level 3 spice! Overall it was a good experience. Great vibe, soft lighting, window seating, and friendly staff...my only real complaint would be our server's attention (outside of refilling our water). We were done with our food and sitting for some time before we asked another server for to-go containers, which she brought over immediately. I had to ask for the check.

The owner told me April 2026 will be there 1 year anniversary here. The food was really flavorful and the rice was good too; not dry at all. You can't see from the photo but under the pita bread was a fried green tomato or egg plant (not even sure really) but I would order a dozen of them if I could it was that good. The wings were cooked to crispy perfection, the only thing I would add would be that the wings are not fully covered in sauce so you may want to ask for extra, but I would definitely order again. This place also has a small shop inside and butcher in the back. I saw they had some tomahawk steaks in the back hanging and offered oxtail which I would love to try the next time I'm at home for a longer period of time. Definitely 5 / 5 for me.
