They skimp on ingredients and then they take an attitude about it when you call them out on it. Ordered Paneer Methi Malai. It had eight small cubes of paneer. Onion Methi Malai would have been a more accurate description. The main ingredient of a paneer dish is... paneer. Not so much here. When asked a server said all paneer dishes only come with eight pieces. So if you want to pay $2.00 for each small piece of paneer you'll be ok eating here. Should have looked more closely at the reviews before eating here. They apparently skimp on main ingredients in several dishes. If they would have just fixed the issue without attitude it would have been ok. The small server that wouldn't give his name was very rude to my wife. Less than $.25 worth of ingredients would have solved the problem before it started. Those same ingredients and some basic manners would have solved the problem after it occurred. The place was at least clean, one star for that. read more

The service was excellent, the lamb soup and Masala tea are my favorites. The menu is pricey and I am used to getting larger portions. Bringing a cheap brand of bottled water and I guess charging for it is a turn off. I hope Cuisine of India opens again soon. $14for a buffet is too much. read more

Limited items in the buffet. Starters are filled with oil and biryani is burnt not even a single item is good. They even charged for water bottle as well without mentioning. Not worth it at all read more

Food was amazing and the employees are very nice! I always enjoy having affordable quality food accompanied with excellent customer service! read more

They have a buffet as well as a giant menu. The spice levels are just right and the Biryani rice is hands down the best I've ever had

It's a hit or miss. The food never tastes the same and prices have gone up and are absolutely ridiculous. For what the prices are the food isn't worth it at all. I have never paid this much for Indian food and I am an avid traveler and have and continue to try Indian food all over the country. A standard dish that shouldn't be more than $12.99 is almost $19. read more

Food was delicious, I got the kadai chicken and it was super good! Server was also super helpful and kind! Best Indian food I've had in Mobile! read more

We initially had intended to go elsewhere and just sort of ended up here. The interior was a bit cafeteria-esque, which didn't exactly inspire (except for the excellent Bollywood entertainment on tv, which I will take any day over sports or news). There seemed to be a buffet, but it was empty, perhaps because it was the weekend. Maybe this was a good thing, though. It sounds like other reviewers are divided on the buffet offerings. Comparatively, this was the best Indian experience I've had in a long time. Perhaps ever. (I've been to a few of Indian restaurants in Austin, for comparison.) The garlic naan, first of all--I crave it. I'm back home in Austin and regularly order naan locally only to be disappointed. It simply does not compare to the fluffy, hot, delicious stuff I had at Biryani Pot. My sister's palaak paneer was great. My curry (I unfortunately can't remember which I had) was amazing. My tikka masala-obsessed partner said it was the best he'd had. My brothers both chose spicy dishes, which the host (I believe the owner?) warned was a lot, and they should have listened. Both struggled to get through even small portions of the stuff. It was delicious, but intense. I'm a big fan of samosas, and these were among the better ones I've had. Perfectly spiced, nice and flaky, soft on the inside but not mushy. My sister got gulag jamun (?), which were delicious (as they always are). I ordered a dessert I thought was familiar to me, but which ended up being a prepackaged ice cream..? That was confusing and unexpected, but at least it was good ice cream. I'll let it slide. Portions and prices were very good, and the service was attentive, friendly, and unrushed (in a good way). I'll be making a trip back next I'm in town. read more

The food was edible, but after I requested mild heat for the spiciness, the spices they put on the food made it inedible. Thé ambiance was not noticeable aside from the constant barrage of Indian videos playing on all the tvs mounted on the walls. The true downfall of this restaurant was the complete and total lack of service. The families that were Indian or of apparent Indian descent had no trouble getting their food, but it took our waiter nearly 20 mins to greet us and provide menus and an additional 45 mins for only half our food to arrive. We found absolutely NO redeeming qualities that a positive recommendation could be based upon. Quite the contrary, we found every reason to issue a warning to anyone considering having Indian cuisine. Whatever you do, avoid this restaurant. read more

Great new local spot in town. I have tried a few dishes, the chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, chicken 65 and gongora chicken. All were fabulous. You can adjust the spice level: mild, medium or spicy. The food is bursting with flavor and nice addition to the various cuisines in Mobile. Highly recommend!! The owner is very personable, they are opening a grocery store as well on the other end of the restaurant. read more

Biryani Pot - Chicken Tikka Masala w/ naan (take out) - Indian Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Today we tried the newly opened Biryani Pot for lunch. WOW!! Delicious Indian food! The plain naan is slightly charred, crispy/chewy and this bread lovers dream come true. This place so exceeded our expectations in quality and friendliness. Their kitchen is currently open for take out only, but the space has been beautifully remodeled. Covid 19 and the usual delays of opening a new restaurant have put them a bit behind schedule, but you cannot tell by the food. We got the tandoori chicken and rice lunch special. So much flavor....and a lil heat Looking forward to trying their full menu soon. The mango lassi was perfectly sweet and tangy. We also tried a dessert. Double Ka Meetha is like bread pudding, but better with butter. The restaurant is located on Downtowner just off of Airport. They also have a small well stocked grocery store. read more

I love this place. The food is preceded by an amazing aroma as you walk in. The dishes are all super flavorful and really tasty. The mango smoothie is a must try. The wait staff are great. Very friendly and responsive. The restaurant itself feels like India. It's a nice retreat into another culture. read more

I moved to Mobile from Chicago back in October. I love this city. I work in the restaurant/bar industry in downtown (Las Floriditas) and live walking distance to downtown. I've learned to appreciate the food culture. But with that said, I miss the food from back home. We are spoiled in Chicago. The ethnic food is superb. There's a whole Indian community in Chicago at Devon Ave around Western Ave. And in La Grange, IL. Where I spent the last 6 years of me being there, there's a restaurant called Kama Bistro. The place is superb and has been around for many years in that town. I loved their food. It's Indian fine dining and the restaurant is gorgeous. That being said, I was very impressed with this new Indian restaurant. Everything I ate tasted fresh, tasted the real indian spices, the love, the craft. I got the Vegetable Samosa, Lamb Vindaloo, Shrimp Curry, Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan. Outstanding! I'm going back when they fully open and sit down. I want to keep going and try every dish. If everything I was was that good, I'm sure not to be disappointed. read more

I'm loving this new place so far and I'm thrilled to see them joining up with delivery services! This is the only local Indian restaurant I've seen offering methi malai on its menu. The cheese naan is sooo good, soft and pillowy. read more

Definitely the best Indian Cuisine in Mobile. The buffet has a fairly good selection, with really great service. Be careful if spicy food isn't your forte. The naan bread tastes really fresh, and you can really tell the food is made with a lot of care. read more

Amazing buffet and friendly owners! Give this a try if you're in the mood for something different and delicious!

Ordered take on the opening day! We got Gobi Manchurian, Wok Chilli Potato and Paneer Biryani. All the three were amazing! Loved it!! A must try! :) read more

Authentic Indian food with flavors that pop at you. Price, taste are values that make you want to return. Chicken biryani with salaan and raita are a must have. read more

The first time we went here, we were blown away by how good it was - surprisingly good food for such an inauspicious location, with decent service. So a month or so later, we went again and couldn't have been more disappointed. The food was terrible; totally lacking in flavor and extremely salty. We all requested medium spice but what we got wasn't even close to mild. Moreover, much of what we got was lukewarm at best The service was indifferent. A lack of attention in general and when the food came, he just plonked it down and we were left to figure out what was what. To make matters worse, the music was very (VERY) loud and then they put a film on the televisions that contained sickeningly gratuitous violence. I asked them to switch that off, which they did. Overall, the food was poor, the service was bad and the ambience unpleasant. Based on how good it was the first time, we'll probably give it another go, but if it is a repeat of this experience, we're done with this place. read more

The food is fantastic, service is excellent, the place is spotless and very clean. Good music, good atmosphere.

The food was amazing!! Authentic, quality. Everyone loved what they got. I wish they had refilled the butter chicken because all that was left was the sauce. The service was extremely terrible. They didn't refill our drinks or pick up the huge stack of plates that was growing on our table. read more

Hey this place is fast and great. I usually don't do buffet but very fresh food is rotated on the line and great attentive staff Hats off have been several times Greg P read more

My husband and I were in Mobile running errands and saw signs for this particular Indian Cuisine restaurant. We love Indian food but it is definitely not in variety across the Bay in Baldwin county. Let me just say, they did not disappoint! We were so full and deliciously satisfied we will definitely be back. Can I also say the BEST mango Lassi I've ever had? 10 out of 10 will eat again :-) read more

Used to love the place... but the last two times have been horrible. They seem to be using additives to make you feel more full. I'll never be back read more

Food was delicious and savory, everyone working was pleasant and food came out in a timely manner!

Surprisingly good Indian food in Mobile. I come every time I'm in town! The Bollywood music videos playing in the background are a plus.

We stopped by while traveling on Thanksgiving. The lunch buffet was a nice surprise. Everything was AMAZING and the place was super clean. Friendly staff. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area or a local. We will be back if the chance presents itself. read more

Good Biriyani and Chicken appetizers. Spice level was a bit high but can be requested to be reduced.

I hate that I'm letting the secret out, but the food is so so good. I didn't get a chance to take any pictures because we ate the food so fast. i will update the review next time I go with the pictures. Trust me, best Indian food in the area. read more
