This was my first time visiting this location (in person). I feel like I may have ordered from them via Uber Eats before (I cannot confirm nor deny this..). It almost next door to Lotte, so figured why not check it out. Staff was very friendly/accommodating. They have SO MANY preparations/variations of Biryani. I was curious about most of them, but unfortunately, there weren't any pictures available online or on the menus. I've never had (or heard of) jackfruit biryani, but we will definitely try it next time, Malabar style. We decided to play it safe and get the Malabar veg biryani, medium spicy. It was tasty, no weird veggies in it. I wish they would add pictures of the different variations or provide details of each preparation on the menu or online.

First time ordering carry-out from Dwaraka's Bawarchi. Both the chicken korma and paneer tikka masala were good sized portions. Both had very good flavors and plenty of curry sauce with it.

Biriyani was awesome. We ordered Malabar and Chettinadu chicken biriyani. Both had different flavors. I liked Malabar as it had coconut flavor. Pepper chicken was good. It was less spicy and kids enjoyed it. Service is good. The place is small...but when 8 of arrived they quickly arranged the tables for us. Most people just take away. Food is extremely greasy though, much higher than other Indian restaurants. And they serve paper plates. So definitely not a premium experience if you are looking for that.

This place has the best biriyanis I've had. The Raju Mutton is my fav. I drove 4 hrs to DC/VA for this biriyani and ordered 5 for me and to share with my bff. Of the 5, I also tried the raju chicken which tastes the same, so I will stick with the raju mutton. Got some chicken biriyani which had cashew in it, like that will order again. No sitting, take out only. I read online should call and order ahead, so that's what I did.

Avoid at all costs... Went there for weekend lunch. Every dish is stale. All fried foods so that they can keep serving the same for days...

Authentic Indian food which tastes good as well. Their weekend buffet is the best bet, although their happy hour is also a good option.

They are big cheaters on charging 20% gratuity on buffet even for individual bills. Don't recommend going there.

The food was amazing, the ambience was crap. It is a bare empty restaurant with no art, no music,…read moreweird layout. It looked like they were in the middle of a renovation and quickly put up some tables so they could feed people. I wasn't even sure how to ask for a table when we walked in, there was no visible staff. Picked this place because it had good ratings on Yelp, so not sure what they normally look like and if this is a representation of what they're really like. You could tell this place was authentic because there were three other tables and they were all Indian. We got: Masala Mirchi Bhajji - battered and fried chili pepper stuffed with onion. Tarka Dal - yellow lentils Chicken Tikka masala - chicken in a thick creamy sauce The flavors are great, we didn't specify our heat level and we got medium and it was really spicy. I love spicy and can handle spicy, but it was almost too much for me. One food downside, they didn't provide much rice with the dish. The menu is exactly what you see on the website, small print, no pictures. So you have to know what you're looking for or ask a lot of questions. Though I found out if you use Yelp to order takeout, each menu item does include a picture. Very reasonably priced, rare these days.

We visited this restaurant when it was Athidhi before covid, when they had the lunch buffet. We…read morestopped by once in 2021, but left because it was empty and they no longer had the lunch buffet. We made the mistake of coming here (on a weekday evening) and left wondering, "How is this place still open???". There weren't any other customers, which should have been the first sign to leave. Zero decor, second sign to leave. The menu looked like it was typed up by a high schooler, no description and was partially hand written, final sign to leave. Unfortunately, being that we had high hopes (since their buffet used to be good), we stayed and ordered a chicken vindaloo and mutter paneer with naan. The naan was like rubber, not sure if it was heated in the microwave or old. The chicken vindaloo looked/tasted like regular chicken curry and had bones, which wasn't even mentioned on the menu. I have ordered chicken vindaloo from many other India restaurants and they always had boneless chicken and actually tasted like vindaloo. The server wasn't helpful in any way and didn't seem to know much about the food. We barley touched the food, paid and just left the rest of the food on the table.
