    Bezawada Biryani (Boneless)
    Manit D.

    Interior was pretty nice, and this is a bit pricey with decent service as well. Visit 1: Got the Bezawada Chicken Biryani and it was surprisingly really good and not too spicy either. Visit 2: got paneer chilli (pretty good), dhaba chicken (not really dhaba chicken but still tasted good, also you can tell it had food coloring) and had the sitaphal (custard apple) malai and that was pretty good too, surprised how it actually tasted like sitaphal! Definitely coming back for the biryani!

    Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani

    Visited Charminar Restaurant on Mowry Avenue and had a very enjoyable meal overall. The restaurant is clean with beautiful interiors and a pleasant ambience, and the service was attentive throughout our visit. We ordered Chicken 65, Chicken Lollipop, Paneer 65, Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani, Achari Goat, and Sitaphal Malai for dessert. The starters were excellent and full of flavor. The Chicken Lollipops were easily some of the best I have had. The biryani was satisfying and aromatic as well. The Achari Goat, however, felt a bit off and ended up giving me some acid reflux. I also noticed a bit of throat irritation after the meal, which makes me wonder about the quality of oil used for frying. I hope the restaurant pays attention to this and avoids reusing oil too many times, as it can affect both taste and overall dining comfort. On a sweeter note, the Sitaphal Malai truly stole the show. It is one of the best Indian desserts I have ever had and worth visiting for on its own. Overall, Charminar offers great flavors, lovely ambience, and attentive service. With a little more attention to oil quality, this place could easily be a five star experience.

    Tandoori chicken
    Chris M.

    This seems like a higher end Indian restaurant. Clean. Nice tabling. A family style plac with some booths and tables mixed. The service was terrific and attentive. And the food was really something to try. Their tandoori chicken is one of the most delicious that I have tried. The lamb keema was rich and not oily. Perhaps a bit on the salty side, but quite something worth trying. The tasks daal was very nice as well and quite worth ordering. The chaas buttermilk was also very nice, though also a little salty for some, but not for me. We will be back!

    We visited Charminar Fremont yesterday for dinner and had one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. Even before ordering, the experience started poorly. We waited over 15 minutes just to receive menus, and while we were standing in line, two people cut ahead of us. The staff and management saw this happen, yet the manager actually helped them first instead of addressing the situation. That alone left a bad impression. We ordered Mutton Dum Biryani and Bezawada Chicken Biryani, and the service continued to be extremely slow -- our food didn't arrive for more than 30 minutes. The Chicken Biryani tasted completely off: no salt, no spice, and no flavor, almost like it had been mixed with a bland curry. When we told the waiter, he said they would remake it, but since it was already late, they only gave us a replacement as a to-go box. The real issue happened today. While eating the leftovers for lunch, we found a bug inside the biryani (photo attached). Right after eating, my husband and I felt sick and we had to use the restroom immediately. This is extremely concerning for any restaurant, especially one serving meat dishes like biryani. This entire experience raises serious concerns about both the restaurant's hygiene and its management practices. We hope they take this seriously, but unfortunately, we will not be returning. I'd give 0 stars if I could.

    Lasooni Kebab

    This is a new place with nice and clean ambiance. It was crowded but it we got seated quickly. Service is bit slow but acceptable for Friday evening rush. We tried : lasooni ( garlic) chicken kabobs: They are very succulent and perfectly cooked. I would have loved more garlicky taste to it though. Hydrabadi chicken curry : we got this medium spicy. This curry has nice flavors , I enjoyed curry leaves aroma. Next time I will try spicy version. Garlic naan and mango lassi is very good. I also tried mint buttermilk- it is savory drink which helps in digestion. I loved it.

    We love exploring new biryani spots since it's a regular feature on our dinner table, and variety is always welcome. This time, we ordered the chicken dum biryani and boneless biryani, along with garlic naan and achari gosh. Our server Daniel was incredibly warm, attentive, and knowledgeable--he enthusiastically recommended the achari gosh and garlic naan, and both turned out to be absolutely finger-licking good. The naan was especially delightful--flaky, fresh, and served piping hot. While the biryani wasn't bad, we've tasted better options around the area. That said, we're curious to try their mutton biryani next time, along with some of the other curry dishes like Lal chicken and the various mutton preparations. With service as welcoming as Daniel's and some standout flavors, this place is definitely worth revisiting.p-pap

    Pakoda

    New place where saravana bhavan used to be. Interior decoration is nice. We ordered at the table (scan QR code). Food came fast. Chicken 65: juicy and soft chicken with lots of flavor. Not spicy at all. Kids loved it. I would have preferred a bit spicy. Goat Biryani: awesome salan. But goat was not that tasty. Quantity was huge though. Aromatic. I just didn't like the taste of goat. It needed more spice. I guess I am a biryani snob. Pakora: nice crispy. Will come back to try their extensive menu of appetizers and kababs.

    This restaurant opened 1 week back! We went for dinner. The interior is lovely. We ordered the following items: Paneer butter masala Hyderabadi goat curry Vijaywada chicken biryani Chilli garlic and garlic naan All the items were great! The biryani quantity was very good. We will definitely be coming back and trying more items on the menu! I hope they keep up the quality!

    Dhaba Chicken (Boneless)

    Tried chicken Mandi and Dhaba chicken. Chicken piece in chicken Mandi was good. Mandi rice was good with subtle flavors. Dhaba chicken was good but it felt like they added a lot of color for aesthetics. Dhaba chicken was great when we went for the first time. This time it was okay. Not sure what changed this time. Service was quick and ambience was good.

    Crispy cauliflower: a bit too tangy for me

    Food, Ambience, Service: 5/5. We have been twice here and tried their goat biryani and bezwada biryani, and we loved both. I love their irani chai and naan as well. Karipatta is good too. Would definitely love to try other items on their menu.

    Lal chicken

    Good ambience. Food was decent. All meat is halal. Good addition in Fremont for Hyderabadi food. Owner was friendly and so was the staff.

    This is a must try on the menu. So full of flavor and juicy

    I ordered from Dash in Fremont today and went with the beef shawarma wrap, plus a side of falafel…read moreand fries. Let me just say it was really good. The shawarma was packed with meat, which is refreshing compared to a lot of places that load up on rice or bread instead, such as a kabob shop and a few others. Here, you actually get what you pay for. Everything was flavorful, the sauces were on point, and the food arrived piping hot as I asked, although this kid who took my order made it complicating As someone Middle Eastern, I'm picky about shawarma, and this definitely hit the mark. The falafel and fries were solid too, and overall it felt like great value for the price. The only downside was the person who took my order his attitude could've been better. But honestly, the quality of the food made up for it. If you're looking for generous portions and real flavor, this spot is worth checking out.

    On a Friday night, I decided to stop by Dish N Dash, and honestly, I had no idea what I wanted at…read morefirst until I saw someone nearby with a delicious-looking plate in front of them. I asked what it was and immediately ordered the same thing. Irma was working at the cash register, and she had such a kind and welcoming personality that it made the experience even better. I ordered the lamb plate with two sides and chose the falafel and veggies. I just wish there were a few more veggies, but it honestly wasn't a big deal for me. The lamb was delicious, fragrant, and juicy. They also give you multiple sauces; yogurt garlic, chipotle, spicy sauce, and this AMAZING mint cilantro sauce. The sauces seriously made the dish 10x better and brought everything together perfectly. Definitely would come back again! They even have a juice bar!!!!!
