This review is based on takeouts…read more PROS: - good location, plenty of parking - online ordering setup is easy - nice staff! food is always ready on time - good variety of South Indian dishes and biriyani. Their cuisine is very specific. - goat biriyani and goat curry are delicious. I also liked their meat to rice ratio for the chicken biriyani. CONS: - outrageous prices for the amount of food. I ordered goat curry and the size of the container was way small. Giving me an entry sized dish in a side dish container is an immediate issue for me. I paid over 80 worth of food and feel lit was not worth it. The goat curry had a lot of large bones too so that made it worse. I got more bones than meat. - overtly spiced and too salty. I liked their goat dum biriyani but did not like the rest. The biriyani appears to be over spiced that's not completely simmered, cooked down or blended. You're essentially eating straight up spice which is pretty gross. This is a personal preference, I like my dishes spicy but I don't like it overwhelmingly spicy where it overtakes the dish and all you're tasting is uncooked blend of spices that heat up your stomach & hurts digestion. Others may like their dishes as is. I'm not in that boat. - I paid $8 for goat haleem that was given in a tiny sauce container. that was so not worth the money or the dish. Their prices are completely off. I don't recommend this place, my search for decent biriyani from regional places continues. I just went authentic biriyani that tastes good, is reasonably priced, with good meat to rice ratio. It's 2026 people, shouldn't be this hard!

I saw them on IG and decided to try Biryani Bistro for dinner. They recently opened…read more We got Mysore Bonda, Chicken 65 Biryani, Raagi Mudda w/ Mutton Curry and Chickoo Chake. Mysore Bonda was okay, bigger than usual which means there were a couple spots inside where the batter was under fried. The peanut chutney with it was very good. We liked the Chicken 65 Biryani, the rice was flavorful, the Chicken 65 wasn't the usual but tasted good. The standout item for us was the Raagi Mudda w/ Mutton curry. It wasn't the typical Karnataka style Raagi Mudda, we were told it was Andra style, we loved it. We also got Boondi Laddoo, and mixture to go. We loved the Boondi Laddoo, the mixture was okay.

We were in the area and decided to finally give Samburna a try. I've been hearing about this place…read morefor a while, so it had been on our list for some time. It's a small, casual restaurant, and overall, I'm glad we checked it out. The food was very tasty, with a few hits and misses. One thing that took some getting used to was the ordering process--you scan the QR code at the table, order everything online, and pay before your food even arrives. Not necessarily bad, just a little different for a sit-down restaurant. We ordered the idiyappam with coconut milk after seeing the photo on the menu, but apparently that's not actually how it's served. The portion of coconut milk that came with it was tiny, so we asked for another cup, which they graciously brought out. The medhu vada was crisp and delicious. The Gobi 65 was a little too dry for me, although it was very crispy and almost more like a pakoda. The Mysore masala dosa was just okay. The dosa itself was excellent, but the masala could have been more flavorful--and there was surprisingly little masala for such a huge dosa. The burnt garlic noodles were probably my least favorite. They tasted like fairly standard Indo-Chinese noodles, and I really didn't get much of that burnt garlic flavor I was expecting. But the parotta with egg pepper curry was the winner. Spicy, flavorful and SO good. Definitely my favorite thing we ordered. And the mango lassi was exactly what a mango lassi should be. No complaints there. Service was quick and courteous, and despite a few dishes that didn't quite wow us, there was enough good food here to make me glad we finally stopped in. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Bothell area and craving South Indian food.

Food- good. I've tried their dosa a couple times and it's good and I'd be back for it…read more Prices- they're not bad for the quality and quantity you get. Service- I had a lady (assuming the owner), she was a bit pushy in having us order more. Other than that nobody bothered us during our meal. I did however notice how most of their attention was towards their regulars (giving them a benefit of doubt) which happened to be anyone that wasn't Indian/brown. We had zero check ins during our meal but there was a couple right next to us and almost every server there, and another family that had all their attention. Place- it can get a bit crowded and feel like the tables are set a little too close together. Overall, come for food.

The butter chicken was rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, while the garlic naan was fresh, warm, and full of flavor. They also gave me a delicious drink, which was a really nice touch and went perfectly with the meal. I especially want to give a shoutout to the owner and his family. This is a family-owned restaurant, and you can really feel the pride and passion they put into what they do. The owner was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cared about making sure I had a great experience, even though I was just picking up a takeout order. It's always great to support a local family-owned business, especially when the food and hospitality are this good. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu! Amazing food, wonderful people, and great hospitality. Highly recommend Five Rivers Indian Restaurant!

We focused on the street food menu this visit and were blown away. The pani puri arrived on a miniature truck, which was such a fun touch.

The ambiance was great, but the restaurant was quite noisy, so be prepared for that. The Fusion Vada Pav was okay and different from others I've tried, but it wasn't anything special. The Burning Train had a great presentation, but the chicken was very dry and the flavor was disappointing. The Mutton roast with chur chur naan tasted good, but it had way too much oil or ghee. The Shammi Kapoor Chicken was also very dry and lacked flavor. I had heard a lot about this place and was excited to try it, but overall, the food did not meet my expectations. We were disappointed enough that we skipped dessert and called it a day. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be coming back.

It was good, although it didn't come with any chutney, so I dipped it in the sambar from my Vada-Sambar plate. I liked their vadas, they were freshly fried and tasted authentic. The guy at the window serving the food was polite and friendly. The ambience is pretty basic since it's a food truck but the parking around the truck does get dark at night as there isn't enough lighting. Visiting while it's still bright is probably better.

I decided to have them for lunch right away and I think it is definitely worth checking them out. I got their golden butter chicken plate and a canned drink. It didn't take too long for my food to be done which was perfect as I was a vendor and only had 30 minutes for my lunch. The food was packed well too, so I didn't have to worry about spills or anything. I was a bit confused by the bread given to me, I was expecting naan or pita bread but it was good. The food was delicious but it wasn't the butter chicken taste that I was expecting. They could have definitely given more sauce as I felt that was lacking and the food was a bit dry, especially for a dish called butter chicken. The portions are generous and easily could have fed two people for sure though. I would definitely try them out again if I came across their truck though as they do have flavors, portions and good service.
