We came to Biryani N Grill in Smyrna as a large group and they were able to seat us in a private section, which was really nice. The restaurant itself is pretty big, with a separate bar area and another section that works well for larger parties. It felt comfortable and lively, and there was plenty of space for everyone. We ordered a bunch of appetizers to start: green chilli chicken, chicken tikka, malai chicken tikka, paneer tikka, and mutton masala. You have to choose the spice level for the green chilli chicken and mutton. Our first round was ordered mild but it came out quite spicy. The second round was much better after we asked our server to tone it down. Even though the heat was high, the flavors were great. The green chilli chicken is battered and fried, tossed in a bright green chilli sauce and it had a really nice kick. The chicken tikka, malai chicken tikka, and paneer tikka were all soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. For the main dishes we tried the chicken 65 biryani, ghee roast mutton biryani, gongura mutton fry biryani, and dal makhani. I was honestly impressed by how many biryani options they have on the menu. The ghee roast mutton biryani was the clear favorite at our table. The mutton was tender and the rice had a rich buttery aroma from the ghee and spices. The chicken 65 biryani was also great, with crispy fried chicken pieces mixed into the rice. The gongura mutton fry biryani had a tangy flavor from the gongura leaves which made it really unique. The dal makhani was creamy and comforting, and it came with rice so there was already a lot of food on the table. We finished with gulab jamun and rasmalai for dessert, plus coffee and mango lassi. Everything was delicious and there was definitely more than enough food to go around. The food was a hit, but the service was a bit of a miss. Our server rarely checked in and we were told they were understaffed that day. For a large group it would have been nice to get a little more attention. They also use a robot to bring food to the table which was fun at first, but it stopped far away from us so someone still had to grab the dishes and load the empty plates back on it since the table was not being cleared. We also heard they have good cocktails at the bar, but when we asked for specialty drinks we were told the bartender was off that day so only beer and wine were available. Only after asking the owner/manager (who kindly checked in on us midway through the meal) did they make us a spiced lime juice (albeit virgin). Even with the service issues, I would still come back. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and the variety of biryani alone makes it worth another visit. read more

We came here with a large party of friends who had been here previously and highly recommend recommended the restaurant for Saturday evening dinner. Our party included 11 people. We were seated in their in our private seating area given or large party size. It appeared that they were understaffed that evening. We were informed that they did not have a bartender that night so any mixed cocktails would not be an option. We were offered only wine and beer. We ordered several items from the menu. From the food standpoint this restaurant is fantastic! Almost everything we ordered was delicious. We had the paneer tikka, chicken, tikka, Malai chicken kebabs as well as the green chili chicken and mutton chukka as starters. I loved all the kebabs! For the main course, we tried three different biryanis - chicken 65, gungaro Lam and ghee roast mutton. The ghee roasted mutton was my favorite. We also tried the dal makhani which was delicious. We wrapped our meal with Rasmalai and Gulab jamun. All of my three stars are for the food! What did not work?-The service it may have been an off night for them given that they were understaffed, but it was really subpar. As mentioned we were told they did not have a bartender and initially were informed they could not make lime soda, nonalcoholic drink for us. However, almost towards the end of our meal when we convey this to the manager, the server informed us that now they had the necessary syrup and could provide provider us with the drink. They use the bot to bring out your food however, the bot never quite gets to your table. As a result, one of us had to always get up to get our own meal from the bot. None of the empty dishes were taken off of our table to make space for more despite is ordering large amounts of food. On several occasions. We just put the empty dishes on the bot to take back to the kitchen. We often did not see us over for long length of time. Overall: while the food was great.... The service was a disappointment. If they can improve on that department, this would be a great biryani spot! read more

Me and my parents visited here a few weeks ago. We just randomly stopped by and we were extremely impressed. I got the lamb curry, my dad chicken curry and my mom got fried rice with grilled wings. Those wings were one of a kind. All good choices and they let you select your spice level for every item. Food was extremely unique with the different seasonings and meat selections. I really enjoyed my meal and so did my parents. The service was great and the food came out very hot making the dining experience superb. I noticed there's TVs and there's a bar as well. I'll definitely be revisiting and think others should too. read more

Ordered a Manhattan and discovered dozens of flies submerged in my drink -- after I had already consumed 3/4 of it. I have photos clearly showing 20+ flies floating in the glass, with the restaurant menu visible in the background. When I raised the issue with staff, I was told the manager was in India and there was no one available to handle the complaint. That response is unacceptable -- a restaurant cannot operate without a responsible person on premises. They did not charge me for the food, but a free meal does not address the fact that I unknowingly consumed a contaminated drink. I have photos documenting everything. Dine here at your own risk. read more

We've only gotten take out a few times. BNG Boneless chicken biryani & Ghee roast mutton biryani are really good. Chicken 65 biryani is decent. If you can't tolerate spice, make sure to order "mild" they almost always honored spice levels! read more

NEW MENU ITEM UNLOCKED. Never in my gazillion times of being there have I been tempted to try the Indian Burrito (moment of silence for its glory) it did NOT disappoint. I'm still thinking about it right now 2 days later. My waitress Lilly (10/10 no notes) said it was actually her fav item. The roti being the wrap blew my mind. The mint sauce???? LISTEN. I almost want to delete this review and keep it for myself because it's so good. read more

Biryani N Grill - Paneer Tikka Masala, Bullet Naan (Chilli Garlic Naan), Mango Lassi, white rice - Indian Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

Seriously some of the best Indian food I've ever had! The paneer tikka masala spice level hot was incredible. Very flavorful and they add herbs to their rice to make it more flavorful. I like how they include onions and peppers in the gravy of the paneer tikka masala. My food was fresh and arrived in a reasonable time since ordering. Why not a 5 star? They use this annoying and stupid robot server to bring you your food. It make obnoxious noises like a high pitched "here I am" over and over again. Get rid of it, people (at least I do) like real people, not robots. read more

I like the food here very much. The Mutton Chukka is my absolute favorite. The meat pieces are so soft and if you like meat fat that melts in your mouth (similar to bone marrow) you will definitely enjoy this. The goat biriyani is absolutely delicious as well. The owner of the store is also very kind. We came here for karaoke one night and that was a lot of fun. read more

A Hidden Gem Ordered Chicken Biryani, Raju Gari Kodi pulao, Apollo Fish. Biryani and Apollo fish were good. But the pulav was something very special. It has a blend of Thalapakatti Biryani, Telangana Bagara rice, and Kashmiri pulav. All together the aroma was just amazing. I kept smelling it more than eating it. The biryani rice also tasted good. Would 100/100 come back again and try more items. The beautiful and friendly waitress was warm and jovial to my kid. Made sure that we are taken care of. The ambience was amazing. Lighting, temperature and sound everything was spot on and cozy. There are a few setbacks. 1. The TV plays some TV series that was not family friendly. There were some french kiss scenes and a few more scenes that are not PG rated. This is not acceptable. I hope this was a mistake and they fix this. 2. Rice was great but chicken was too soft and a bit stale. Having said that, this place is great. I will absolutely come back and will bring more friends and family. One of the nicest places in metro atlanta area. Definitely try Raju Gari Kodi Pulao. The best in the metro area. read more

Biryani N Grill - Indian Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

I really don't understand the low reviews of this restaurant! We were a little skeptical of going after reading prior reviews, but then I thought to myself sadly it's generally people with a negative experience that write a review, and not so often and people that enjoyed it, so give it a try. I'm so happy that we did because we had an absolutely amazing dinner ! First, it started off from the hostess, whose name I believe was KITTU. The atmosphere was very authentic and very calming . As soon as we receded, she took our drink order , and I have to say yes it took a little time to get the wine to the table... But all things considered that is a very minor issue for me . I'm very knowledgeable of an Indian restaurants menu. Indian cuisine is probably one of my favorite cuisines ever . So anyway, we ordered two appetizers and a few different dishes to share. I was not disappointed in anyway ! This would be considered 100% authentic Indian cuisine . I have to say I was slightly impressed by the little robot that came to our table to deliver the food , but I was more impressed that they actually followed up and have a server there to make sure that your order is correct that came to your table via robot. Other people might think , why do I need the server to come back if I have the robot delivering my food?? But in my opinion, it was a nice personal touch for them to walk to my table as soon as the robot got there to ensure quality control, as well as the fact that you want to make sure things went to the right table and then to ask if we needed anything else. Honestly, that's not common practice anymore . Sad but true , most times restaurants will just serve you your food and then go away and you don't see them until it's time for the bill. You sit there waiting for water refills or to ask for an accompaniment or if you happen to want extra bread at the table . Not the case here ! The food was absolutely 100% spot on ! If you think it's too spicy , all you have to do is ask about the spice levels. What they call medium would probably considered very hot for an American pallet if you're not accustomed to it . Eye on the other hand ordered hot and it was perfect perfectly seasoned . My kudos go out to the chef and the staff for that. I won't lie. It was a little confusing to see the wine, barrels, and bikers stuff there. . But instead of assuming anything, I actually asked the server why it was like that ? She had a very direct answer that was - someone gave us bad reviews so a lot of people don't come here now and we're just trying to do something to drum up business. I'm really sorry that that's the fact of the matter , but I happen to take advantage of the fact that they had extra things there. My husband and I finished our dinner and wine and then went outside and were able to do ax throwing , cornhole and have an actual little activity to do after dinner. If you're confused at all about this place , please take my advice and just give it a try. I almost didn't , but I'm so happy that I did! By the way, try the vindaloo ! Hundred percent given to that dish As I stated previously, I'm very seasoned in Indian cuisine . So if you're looking for something authentic, this is the place for you to go ! read more

Took a long time to have the food prepared. When I did receive the food. The quantity didn't match the price. Five dollars for two small samosas is absurd. The rice that I ordered was not the rice that I received. The "chicken" was rubbery. The only thing they have going decent is the ambience, probably why they get customers. My first time going there definitely my last. read more

Went to visit here on an afternoon based on reviews I've seen online. The service was good. The inside of the restaurant was a bit bleak, not busy at all, maybe four others eating when we arrived. I ordered butter chicken, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. The lassi was good for the first time. The butter chicken was decent. The naan was also your average naan. Overall decent experience. read more

Well.... I loved the food! I love spicy and flavorful food. Wow, did they deliver!!! Also, it was dinner time and plenty of customers. I was the only non-Indian in the joint. Must say something about quality and authenticity. read more

Finally stopped in here for dinner the other day. The food is good but the experience was weird. Ordered a curry and a veg biryani. Ended up with a meat biryani which was fine but not what we ordered. Food is brought out on one of those robots but the person working the front still placed the food in your table. They also give you bottled water for some reason. When it came time to pay, the person working the front had their back to us and never once checked on us. We sat watching them for a good number of minutes and they never turned around. It was.. uncomfortable, especially since we wanted a box for leftovers and there were only two other tables of people dining. Already we witnessed another table walk out when they weren't tended to. It's a shame, cause the food is good. I won't be coming back unless I have a lot of time to kill and don't care about poor service. Or maybe just get takeout. read more

Good food , authentic and delicious **** While in Atlants for the week I noticed BNG across from the Burger King I'd veen eating and so I decided to place a to go order. I was not disappointed at all, very delish. I irder the Ghee Roasted Mutton and it was very good. I did jot eat at the restaurant but it appeared to be an inciting interior. Cricket was on the TV and people were chatting. Some of the mutton was extremely tough but its pot cooked food I expect this can happen when cooked in one pot. Overall: Food: 4 Stars Clean !!! read more

First time trying it out and it was AMAZING!! The food was absolutely delicious, such great flavors and everything was delectable.

Biryani N Grill - Butter Chicken Masala (Popular) - Indian Near Me - Smyrna, Georgia

I am here for dinner on vacation with my family. We came in at 9 pm. We ordered three paneers, garlic naan, and rice. The paneers had great taste however we said "Indian" spice (the spiciest level) and the dishes were not spicy at all. We ended up having to order raw chilis instead. There was also a robot that delivered the food to our table which was a cool experience. They were busy with takeout orders but the only real service we had was ordering the food and asking for the check at the end! Still a good spot for Indian food. read more

We went as family of 4 adults and 2 kids. We had been here before when there was another restaurant. Wanted to come and check out the food and ambience of the place. We went on a Saturday lunch for buffet and pretty soon found that it is a veg buffet on Saturday. On other weekdays lunch they do non veg buffet. The ambience of the place was really wonderful except the floor. When ever you walk you had that sticky feeling. It was the same as before. I wish they could just change that. Coming to food, my family loved every bit of the food. We spend quality time and the service was great. The veg grill items that they provided during the buffet was ok. Not a big fan, having tasted non veg grill you know. We also took a take out of their biriyani to try out the non veg. Man it was amazing, it was close to the taste of bawarchi biryani. I guess the chef skills are really good in non veg Overall we love it. I think i would definitely visit again to try non veg side of things read more

My family is already done eating there food . I gave waitress advice for the next time whoever decides to order Tandoori chicken . Tell them it will take 30 minutes to cook . If I knew this I would have ordered something else . Basically took the food home to eat ! They offered a $5 discount wow ok . My entire lunch experience was screwed . read more

Smyrna has a variety of food selections to choose from. I love Indian food but no expert. When I saw this restaurant being prepared for opening, I was excited to give it a try. Biryani and Grill is located right off Spring rd. It is easy to locate from the road. The signage makes it a can't miss. There is plenty of parking at the restaurant. I placed my order to go due to a long day. The food was ready upon arrival per the estimated time. The employee was on the phone so I decided to look around. I saw the robot server a few had mentioned. I think it's a different way of solving employee issues in the current times. I only saw two employees while there. The decor inside was vibrant and different. Each dining area had its own vibe. However it all added to the overall esthetic. Employees were nice. The food was still hot when we got home. Food came in nice reusable Glad containers. Love good to go containers. Lol! We both ordered chicken biryani. The difference is one is chicken on the bone and the other without. There was plenty of rice in the containers. I think the chicken to rice ratio was a little off. Not a fan of the yogurt sauce given. Other restaurants provide a different sauce upon request. I didn't see it on the menu to order. I wouldn't have minded the rice had there been more sauce. The dish was flavorfull with just right amount of heat. The Naan was good. The food portion was generous and pricing was decent. It was not a bad experience. I would try something else on the menu and dine in to see the robot at work. read more

Wasn't a fan. It is a relic of a previous sit down resturant that didn't bounce back after the pandemic. Half the resturant was off limits as they tried to contain guest to a specific area.

Food was amazing as well as great customer service! Very clean and neat. I definitely recommend coming here!

I ordered ahead and was told my food would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived on time, but my food wasn't ready. I was told it would be another 10 minutes. By the time I got my food, it was 30 minutes late. They gave me a 10% discount for the delay, but I would rather have had the 30 minutes. The food was greasy and poorly spiced. read more

Great food, really love there butter chicken and there irani chai is soo good best I ever had

I'm sorry but Atlanta needs more Indian cuisine! The amount of Indian joints for the city that touts itself to be "diverse" and "inclusive" sure does exclude some amazing food cultures like great Indian food. Biryani-N-Grill is a prime example of under rated and overlooked in terms of where they should be and they are not recognized at all. They are located across from the car wash on Spring Rd. in Smyrna just a half mile away from Cumberland Blvd and yes, you need to come. Let's talk about their hours. They split the day from 11-3 then they close from 3-5 then re-open for dinner at 5 till they close so you know they legit. For good Indian food, I always shoot for the Butter Chicken or Murgh Maknhi. And since each place's spice level is different, I shoot for the medium and frankly, I could've gone hotter. But I will say, the butter chicken here is fantastic! They err on the side of more tomato flavor but you can tell that they have a great balance of their spices. I will say, the cumin, chili powder and turmeric flavors get lost due to the tomato base but overall, the curry itself is fantastic! And their rice!!!!???? Curry leaf and star anise flavorings coat the rice in such an aromatic way that you can taste it and then pair it with the butter chicken is just an amazing marriage of textures and flavors that warms you up! The interior is also quite traditional yet spacious enough for you to enjoy your meal with friends or by yourself. I was a little off put by an over abundant rose scent or maybe it was lavendar. Either way, the restaurant is underrated and should be visited by food enthusiasts all over ATL. And yes, they even have the server robot to deliver your food which is a modern touch to what is very good Indian food which was a fun thing to see. read more

I found out about this gem from my brother who happened to stop in at random. We absolutely love Indian, specifically biryani, so when he told us that we HAD to go, we did exactly that. I chose to grab some for takeout on my birthday and it was the perfect birthday gift to myself lol. I ordered vegetable biryani and my boyfriend ordered the shrimp biryani and all I can say is WOW. It was outstanding. Perfect consistency and flavor through the ENTIRE portion (and it was a large portion!) Rice was fluffy, veggies were separately seasoned, just amazing. The curry they serve on the side is out of this world. I'd like to bottle it up and add it to every dish lol I have found my new spot for all my Indian dishes. So happy we found this gem. Great customer service, just an overall positive experience! read more

I found out about this restaurant in passing to another Indian restaurant my friend recommended to me. I REALLY enjoyed this place. So much so to say it will become my new number one restaurant in Atlanta (beating out my other favs Star of India in Peachtree City and Blue India Downtown Atlanta). EVERYTHING I TRIED I ENJOYED. 1) Butter chicken masala- EXCELLENT It was rich and creamy with that red hue I love. Served with basmati rice. Goes fantastic with their garlic naan. 2) Chicken tikka masala- WONDERFUL I judge an Indian restaurant especially if it is my first time patronizing, by these two dishes the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. A really good restaurant in my opinion is when I can't decide which of the two I like better. I loved them both and I like that the spice level can be adjusted. I ordered medium on both and it gives this slow burn down your throat. Not spicy to where you need milk and bread but definitely turns up the dish from no spice at all. The flavor is out of this world on both. 3) Garlic naan- GREAT I am usually not a fan of ordering garlic naan to go but I was craving some and I appreciated how warm and fresh it still was by the time I got home. The aromatic spices and herbs were so fragrant I couldn't wait to dig in. Goes well with both the butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala. 4) Pepper chicken appetizer- VERY GOOD I was pleasantly surprised on this appetizer. I like spice and the description sounded good. The flavor in this dish is BEYOND. They don't douse it in so much flour either. It's lightly dusted in flour and fried then tossed in its sauce I presume. Soooo good. Would definitely order this again. 5) Achari wings- AMAZING Listen. I learned about these wings based on a picture from Yelp. I was like what is Achari? I Googled it and the guy who took my order was patient enough to explain it to me. So good. You won't be disappointed. Spice level can be adjusted on this. I went with medium. 6) Special chicken biryani-REALLY GOOD The special chicken biryani is boneless whereas chicken dum biryani is bone-in for those wondering the difference like I did. This dish was really good. I thought it was dry at first because I'm used to an oilier biryani. Boneless chunks of well seasoned chicken cubes interspersed through some basmati rice. Good stuff! 7) Chili garlic fried rice with shrimp They leave tail on with shrimp orders. It was decent. Not bad, not mind blowing. Wouldn't order again. Doesn't take away from their five star review. read more

Biryani and kabab, but inside a burrito. The fusion food that I didn't think that I needed, but now is all I ever want. Order the Achari wings and thank me later! oh my god, the best wings I have had in Atlanta so far. The Achari spice mixture coats the wings perfectly and it is a flavor explosion in your mouth. It is absolutely delicious! We ordered the chicken kabab and biriyani burrito which is pretty huge. If you eat half of it, I am more than sure you would be full. It comes with a yogurt sauce on the side so it's great to dip the burrito in. I would come to this place in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend this gem to family and friends. read more
