I haven't actually dined in at the restaurant, so this review is solely for the pani puri station outside. A friend introduced me to this place, and I'm SO glad she did! I absolutely LOVE the idea of having a pani puri station outside, and the fact that it's open so late at night is just the icing on the cake. I've been here a few times now, and the pani puri has always been so good. The two people I've seen serving the puris are usually really friendly, and I love that they wait until you finish each round so you never feel rushed :P I've also noticed they have a live dosa station next to the pani puri. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll definitely be back to give it a try sometime. For me, the pani puri here is honestly comfort food. I come back whenever I'm craving that familiar taste or just missing home a little read more

Absolutely disgusting experience. I ordered the Vijayawada Paneer Biryani through DoorDash, and the paneer had a strong, foul smell as it had gone bad. The food was completely inedible and went straight in the trash. Serving food that smells spoiled is unacceptable. I would not order from this place again. read more

This was our first time at this restaurant, and we had read so many good reviews about their live panipuri and live dosa. They sell six pieces for around $7.99, I believe. When we noticed that they were serving the panipuri with warm dal, we were both surprised and curious about how it would taste. They also give you sides of chopped coriander, onion, carrots and multiple sauces to customize your flavor. When our turn finally came, I tried it a bit reluctantly... and my goodness, it was absolutely delicious. The puri itself was crisp, and the combination of warm dal, spicy pani inside the golgappa (that's what we call it) was mind-blowing. Suddenly the long line made perfect sense. Totally worth every penny. We also tried their Vijayawada biryani and chicken tikka kabob, which were good too. Customer service was great as well. We would go back for those pani puris! read more

Was charging my Tesla next to this place.. didn't expect much.. I was so wrong. This place has the best food! The bread., nan I think. Season perfectly. Plus, got some chicken. It was so moist. read more

Recently had paddu there and it was perfectly done! Sambar wasn't sweet, totally on point! Three kinds of chutneys - so yum- one was with garlic, another spicy and the mandatory coconut chutney! He made the paddus with least or almost no oil per my request, definitely loved it. Tip: They are there with the stall everyday now, yayy! read more

Great spot serving Hyderabad and Vijayawada biryanis and south and north Indian food (they do have other Biryanis, but that is what they are known for). It's the BEST Hyderabad Biryani in the bay area. Best Biryani place period to my man in all of the bay, better than anywhere in the city and peninsula. It's the #1 thing he craves in Milpitas. Our favorite Hyderabad Biryani place shut down - I think they operated in a ghost kitchen - had their own app/website - it was great and then one day POOF.. maybe because of the pandemic, etc.. and I was hunting and hunting.. then we found this. This was the most comparable when it came down to these components: flavorful, intensity, quality, spicy, and of being of the 'same type'. We've never eaten in yet, but always ordering this for pick-up or etc. They no longer have their Manchurian Baby Corn on their doordash menu - but if it's at the restaurant, totally recommend. Otherwise they have a Cauliflower one. Service is always nice and friendly, and pretty fast to be honest. Love how late that their open - sometimes we're coming from far events, etc. read more

Biryaniz is a restaurant in Milpitas, and has a live benne dosa corner. It has plenty of lot parking in the front and is located near other Asian dessert places. You order inside and stand in the line outside to wait for your dosa. We went on a Friday night and waited 10 minutes in line and 20 minutes for our dosas. There are also a few tables inside, but this place is mostly takeout for biryanis or people stand outside and eat their dosas. The decorations inside are nice but there's a few flies that can bug you. We ordered the onion dosa, Bangalore masala dosa, gunta punugulu, ghee karam dosa, and egg dosa. The benne dosas in general are thicker and closer to uttapams, but the batter and fillings have a nice flavor. The chutneys are authentic and complement the dishes nicely as well. The onion dosa was good but had too many green chilies for me, the gunta punugulu (8) were a good size, the ghee karam was my favorite, the Bangalore masala dosa was seasoned well and the egg dosa was a little salty. The size of the dosas were filling for one person if you're looking for a light dinner. I'd recommend trying the dosa stand once if you're in Milpitas with some time craving some street food! read more

The food quality has gone down. We used always order from here, I ordered for a birthday bulk from here as my family liked it, the chicken was old. I called to complain and they acted as if nothing happened. They said the owner with call you... we are still waiting for the call!! I would not recommend this place read more

Their veg dum biryani is good. Also the chat and dosa stands outside on the weekends are open late. Good snack post a concert, bar or any event if you are craving some Indian grub late in the night. read more

We ordered a Vijayawada Paneer Biryani for dinner. I was so excited and hungry, sadly to my disappointment I found a chicken piece in it which made my stomach hurt badly. If you are vegan or vegetarian or having allergies with animal products please avoid this place at all cost. Because all they can offer you is replacement of biryani. I won't recommend this place. It also hurt our belief of not having animal product in our diet. read more

We ordered the Vijayawada egg biriyani, Garlic Naan and paneer tikka masala. I am not that of a food critic but I really felt bad that we ordered from here. It was not giving us a good feeling that we ordered from here! Garlic naan was extremely hard to breakdown and have and the biriyani was not ok at all. I was really disappointed. read more

I had not been to Biryaniz in a few years and was keen on trying it as we were in the area. How things have changed. The biryani is nothing like it used to be. Even medium spicy Vijayawada Chicken Biryani was just pure heat and spice. The order was to go - it was basically cooked basmati rice (no flavoring/color) served on top of the chicken masala. The chicken also was overcooked. Hopefully management takes notice and brings back the good old Biryaniz that was one of the best in the bay. read more

I got my biryani with a dead cockroach. Disgusting! Please think twice before eating out here. I doubt they are maintaing food hygiene.

I really wanted to like this place after the hype I received from some of my friends. So, I tried it twice though I didn't like it the first time. And nope, not worth another try. Dishes we tried on two different instances- chicken Hyderabadi biryani and Vijaywada chicken 65 biryani. Both the dishes were extremely salty. The second time, we literally cooked a cup of rice at home and mixed it with the biryani to make it edible. For rice lovers, the biryanis have very little rice and filled with only meats. Meat lovers will love it. Silver lining: the pani puri stand outside the restaurant. It's pretty good and reminds you of home. Staff members are professional and friendly. Not really a dine in place. Very limited seating, 2-3 tables. read more

Biryaniz Milpitas - Vijayawada Chicken 65 Biryani - Family Pack - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

Tried bengaluru style masala dose on a saturday midnight. Couldn't have asked for something better at 1am in the night. This is more street style kind of dosa. the dosa live stall is outside the restaurant and small. So it's stand in and eat place. There are only 2 dosas made at a time by 2 people so service can be a bit slow. Liked their peanut chutney. They had some other chutney and sambar to offer wasn't that great. We did not try any other item at this place. read more

Absolutely love this place for pani puri and dosas. Personally, I love the masala dosa and I love the fact that it comes with three different chutneys of your choice! My favorite is the white coconut chutney. The dosa might be a bit on the thicker side for some people but for me I like it just perfect like that with the side of potato filling and chutney. This is my family's go to place for pani puri. I wasn't really a pani puri fan but it totally gives you the feel like you're back in India at a pani puri stall. The wait might be a little long depending on the day and time you go, especially if it's the weekend but totally worth it. read more

The 5 stars is for the Bangalore style dosas they make. My husband is from Bangalore and he certifies it authentic. He says it's the only authentic version you get. Other restaurants claim Bangalore style but fake. Service is excellent. You have to be patient and wait few minutes for the dosa cook. You stand and eat but you get the authentic India feeling. read more

Craving some spicy paani puri? This is the place to be. My friends I came here for some late night cravings and were served paani puris from a live station by a very cheerful person. I also tried their Chicken 65 biryani two days ago and really enjoyed. The food was very flavorful and finger licking. We dint dine in and it was to go. It's a really small place and mostly caters to pick up. We will definitely be back. read more

I liked the biryani here before, but now when I ordered chicken biryani , instead I got egg biryani. Feel like they didn't checked. We already travelled home. Disappointed with taste. Mountain View outlet service was good than Milpitas. read more

Biryaniz Milpitas - Vijayawada Egg Biryani - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

We ordered goat biryani and paneer biryani, but both dishes were disappointing. The rice was coated in red chili powder and lacked any real flavor. This was one of the worst experiences we've had in the Bay Area. Years ago, when the restaurant had a chain in Mountain View, the food was much better. Even the mild options were excessively spicy, focusing only on heat without any depth of flavor. We feel like we wasted $30. read more

Went with hype of yummy bombay style pani puri. Called to ask timing: 11:45 we close. Thank you and she hung up. Not a second pause for me to ask anything else or even say thank you back. Pani puri: line. Self serve of cilantro, onion and shredded carrots. Variety of sauces to put in pani puri. It was my first time having pani puri with Ragra in it and thought it was decent. Super spicy though. Drippings of pani in the condiments from ppls and the waiter was a huge turn off Ordered chicken tikka masala , quarter chicken legs tandoori , chicken biryani and chicken tikka kabobs. Tandoori stuff had red coloring -pass:( Eggs you can see and the host didn't care to replace or compensate. Cant expect much from indian restaurants...:( Self serve kind of a place = food comes packed in containers and then in brown to go bag. Chicken tikka masala was room temperature. Garbage was outside the restaurant. Definitely never going again-ever. read more

Biryaniz Milpitas - Chicken biryani with old stale egg - Indian Near Me - Milpitas, California

Ordered via doordash for delivery and the order accuracy, delivery time and packaging was on point. Doordash had an offer going for 20% discount if u order for more than $15 (upto max of $5). Food we got: - $13 for chicken vijaywada biryani 2/5 - there is no biryani rice or biryani flavor or onions. Its plain simple white rice (not biryani long rice quality) and chicken gravy. If u think its chicken and rice meal then its 2 stars worth - $10 apollo fish 3/5 - it had no apollo flavor but softness and flavor of the fish was good. Too much onion n capsicum to fill up the box No cutlery or napkins too :( Will not be ordering again from here read more

I really like the biryani here and used to get it a lot, but stopped going when I found a COCKROACH in the biryani. My friend also found a cockroach in his biryani as well.

We had live pani puri and it brought back memories of back home. Really good taste and thoroughly enjoyed it. They had all the chutneys in squeeze bottles and they were perfect in taste. Will definitely go back again. On their biryanis , as they are probably the best in the Bay Area. They have a very consistent taste and each time is always enjoyable. Very good quantity, quality. read more

My friend recommended this place for vijayawada chicken biryani. The biryani tastes absolutely delicious...however it comes with a cost. I didn't understand at first why there were so many bad reviews. It didn't make sense to me until I experienced it myself. I found a bug in the biryani. I've been trying to find another restaurant to replace this spot but to be honest, I haven't found many close matches. I guess it just comes down to what's important for you. I'm really hoping that they can make some changes to combat this issue because the vijayawada chicken biryani here is actually really good. read more

Originating in Persia, Beriani travelled all the way to India through the Mughals, where every region customized it in their own way through additional spices and ingredients, making a version of their own. The love for Biryani / Beriani / Biryani (however you wanna call it) among south Asian is unparalleled to anything else. The aromatic flavors, succulent meat (or tender vegetables in veg biryani) coming together to become one wholesome meal. Finding Biryani in USA was something I had not imagined, but then I came across 'Biryaniz' in Milpitas. The biryanis served in this place are versions of Andhra region in India, and some other places. What bothers me is in the course of making a version of Biryani, the essence of what is 'Biryani' got lost. Let's talk about the Biryanis they have - The Vijaywada Biryani - 2/5 Although, loved by many, I am particularly not impressed. It is way too hot (chilly spice) which overpowers all other flavors of the Biryani. Also, more often than not, I find it watery, which gives me the impression of eating Chicken curry and Rice, rather than Biryani. Hyderbadi Biryani (Chicken) - 3.5/5 This one is as close to an actual biryani as it can get. It's dry and watery like Vijaywada, but can sometimes be too dry. The flavors are quite right, not too spicy, and tastes decent. Although, the rice section on its own lacks flavor, but one of my preferred Biryani from this place. Amravathi Biryani - 3/5 The flavors here were a little overpowering, too much spices, the lack of subtly flavored biryani rice was disappointing to me. Apart from Biryani, I have tried few of their appetizers, nothing to write home about. It's like when you have no other option, something is better than nothing kind of feeling. So all in all, if you rename their Biryanis to say 'Chicken gravy mixed rice' or 'Paneer gravy mixed rice' or 'Veggie masala rice', I might be more accepting of the dish, than having to call it Biryani, and seeking true Biryani flavors. read more

Tried this place recently and ordered the fish starter and chicken fry piece biryani. The biryani was flavorful and well-cooked. But the fish was a big letdown. It was extremely soggy and had a rubbery texture, which completely ruined the experience. Definitely expected better quality for the price. read more
