    Daytime robbery . I ordered Apollo fish appetizer for Togo , they charged around 17 $ , when I ask Apollo fish biriyani it's around 18$ , no of pieces are same with biriyani . I did not buy any appetizer for that money with less number of pieces . In their menu price is saying 12.99$ . I will avoid going there .

    Very good place to taste southern flavors. Must try Irani chai it was so good also yoh can try here palisettu biryani and methi malai which is so good. Service was too good and very helpful. And the ambiance was ok for me

    Garlic Naan
    Jiayi S.

    Was really feeling butter chicken so I got takeout from here. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! I ended up getting the chicken 65 and garlic naan. The portions were big and the naan was perfectly garlicky. I got mild but the chicken still had a kick to it which I didn't really mind. Would go again to try their other stuff

    Very sweet tea
    Nanda K.

    The bathroom was not clean and is shabby. We tried Chittu punugulu and were not cooked properly in the inside. The chutneys served with tasted close to a spoiled ones. The tea was too sweet and tasteless. There was a spider running around the table we were sitting on.

    Chicken thali
    Ashok S.

    We wanted to try their latest offering (thali) for $12.99 veg/chicken or $14.99 lamb We also wanted to try their mouthwatering paneer 65 biryani. Ordered that one spicy and it didn't disappoint. It was served with raitha Not too sold on the thali though. While the food was good, it was not freshly made. It was served in a plastic tray with 2 curries, a pulav or plain rice, a few bhajiyas and crispies. Came with a small serving of yogurt and a spicy chutney plus hot naan. I was hoping they would have a dal and some other veg dish as an addition. Overall the quality is decent. Going forward I will stick with made to order items. They are known for their biryanis especially the 65 and the 555. Service was excellent and the place is pretty clean.

    a display case of various foods

    Stopped here for dinner. Never been to this place before; the choice was purely based on the Yelp reviews since I wanted to try a new place. It's a small restaurant with around 10 tables. Pick up the menu, choose any tables, order at the counter and they will serve the food to your table. That's how it's work there. Menu isn't exuberant. They do have a few number of curries, biriyanis, starters, dosas, tandoor items and desserts. Not fancy, but all decent options. Biriyanis comes in both regular and family pack quantity. We picked the Gobi Manchurian for starter, Kadai Vegetable, Chicken tikka masala, Naan and Chicken 65 biriyani for takeout. They served the food in around 15 mins. The Gobi Manchurian came first. That was decent - not spicy, but lacked some flavor. Really enjoyed the Kadai Vegetable with Naan. That was full of flavor and tasted great with the Naan. "Surprisingly" the chicken tikka masala has the "chicken tikka". We could really feel the flavor of the tikka, which lacks at most of the restaurants. The quality of the Chicken 65 biriyani was sufficient for couple of people. It was spicy but enjoyed the flavor. It was some special festival day and they served the sweets along with the food as well. I have nothing but great about the food and the service. Perfect location, adequate parking, amazing food and service. It was a very cold evening when we went there for dinner. Unfortunately the place was ice cold. They said their heater was not working. Initially they didn't really bother heating up the place. But as soon as a few more customers walked in, they brought out a portable gas heater. It wasn't enough to heat up that space, but something is better than nothing. I could only spot this as a negative about the place. They could have been a little more proactive rather waiting for a bunch of other customers to walk to react to the situation. Having said that, loved the food. I hope they have their heater fixed by now!

    Mylavaram Biryani
    Dinesh P.

    Mylavaram biryani looked appealing. But it was veerryyy spicy. I usually like spicy biriyanis but this was in different league full of jalapenos. I wish there was mild/spicy choice in doordash.

I ordered paneer butter masala and grabbed a mango lassi from the fridge. I returned about 5 min later and it was ready for me! They do not ask for spice preference, and the things I have ordered all have mild heat (equivalent to 1-2 stars). This works great for me. The meals all come with rice, which is great. The food is definitely better for takeout, as the curry and rice were in different containers and it was a little awkward to try to eat it there. That said, it held up great and was a perfect meal on the couch! The ambiance in the food court is so so. Really depends on the time of day.

This was a Friday, so I was told the lunch specials were no longer valid. There attendant explained that it's only valid Monday-Thursday. I find that kind of lame, like it's the middle of the day on Friday c'mon. I got the Butter Chicken meal which was ok. The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was nice and creamy. About 2 servings. The meal also comes with Naan, it was 3 nice sized pieces. They were hot and tasted fresh. The presentation was nice as my expectations for food court food a slightly lower. Getting it "for here" over "to go" probably helped with that. I'd consider going again but definitely would try for a lunch special to save a few bucks.

The restaurant was…read morestill pretty bumping, but there were plenty of folks including us who were just there for dessert. I'd say overall, the menu was a little pricey, but they've got some pretty unique offerings. Parking is pretty easy as it's a shared lot with crossroads. Malaiyo is effectively just textbook light, whipped cream with a ton of saffron. They definitely don't skimp on the saffron, so if you enjoy that floral, slightly herbal flavor, this will be the dessert for you. Jalebi Rabri came out piping hot and it's got a crunch that once you bite through, the sugar syrup just gushes out. It's definitely tasty, but it was SO sweet. I'd probably put in an order and share this with a group as more than one in a sitting might be a bit tough. Banarasi Lassi was just a little tart, creamy, and had a little bit of saffron swirled through. It had just a touch of the floral saffron flavor and the sliced almonds on top were a nice touch.

As for mains,my friends and I shared gorakhpuri kofta which was tasty and shadi wala matar paneer which was average. I didn't like tamatar ki chaat. The food was decent and chaas was really good but nothing was so good that I'd be thinking about it the next day. If you go, get the smokey soya chaamp and keep expectations chill for everything else.
