I came in here for something to hold me over while working. Abraham was amazing. He recommended the butter chicken fries. And OMG, it was everything I didn't know I needed. It was so flavorful and delicious. I've NEVER had butter chicken before and now I think I have a new favorite. 100/10 O HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Oh and BONUS, they have peacocks (my spirit animal) on the walls. IYKYK. I will be back very soon to try everything on the menu. When you go, tell them, "MzPchz, sent me". read more

The Biryani Corner - Indian Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

I went on a Saturday and this place should've been packed with people, but it wasn't. It's a small family owned restaurant with incredible Indian dishes that were fresh and well portioned. Definitely get the dip trio and the butter chicken fries. They were insanely good. The interior is so cute and would be perfect for a family dinner or lunch a date night or anything because they have a decent space. This place should be a lot more busy than it is. It was so good. read more

I don't know exactly what I expected but what I received blew me out of the water. Pleasantly surprised at a few things here (1) the sheer size of the portions for a somewhat reasonable/expected price (2) the creativity of the butter chicken fries (3) the crunch of the pani puri appetizer balls and all the wonderfully savory fillings that came with and (4) THAT BUTTERY NAAN. The interior is gorgeous, clean, and unique. Easy takeout food right around the corner from our new place and it certainly won't be the last time. read more

We're excited to have an Indian restaurant in the area. We went during their happy hour to take advantage of the half off select appetizers and $3 off cocktails, though they have other deals for beer/wine. The service was great and the restaurant is perfect for a date night or a catch up with friends. The loaded butter chicken fries were surprisingly the highlight of our meal and we would definitely get it again. Everything else we tried was pretty good but the food could be served warmer and with more spice when ordered above mild. We'll be back to try more! read more

Searching for great Indian food in Richmond? Look no further. The Biryani Corner, which just opened about a month ago, is here! Decided to try this place on a Saturday night. Boy, it was soo good! The place is lovely and spacious. Our server Jillian gave us great recommendations, was very helpful and attentive. The "Ek-Do-Theen" Dip Trio was hot, freshly made naan with 3 different dips: whipped paneer, roasted eggplant, and beetroot yogurt. This was delicious. Whipped paneer was my favorite! Loaded butter chicken fries was great. It was served with special white sauce, butter chicken, red onions, cilantro and jalapeno. The chicken biryani and lamb biryani were served in cute pots. They were awesome. Delicious and very flavorful! I super liked my mango lassi - a sweet, creamy delight! For dessert, I tried mango kulfi and chai leches. The mango kulfi was house made mango ice cream. It did taste mango but it was little tough for me. The chai leches was their take on tres leches with masala chai and whipped topping. It was so soft; it was alright. Overall, the food and service were awesome. Would highly recommend and would definitely be back! read more

We tried Biryani Corner after seeing it posted with great reviews in some local Facebook groups. We were concerned about parking-- plenty of parking! When we walked in we felt like we were no longer in Richmond-- the inside had such a "happening vibe!" They really did a great job with the decor! We were immediately greeted and seated when we arrived. We probably went overboard on the appetizers and they all were amazing!! We loved the Gobi Manchurian and the Loaded Butter Chicken Fries were everything promised by the reviews-- order 2!!! We ordered a huge variety of entrees as well... everything was delicious especially the hot, buttery naan! The the Butter Chicken was probably our family favorite for all of the obvious reasons! Top notch service, large portions and a fabulous ambiance-- definitely try them out and btw, they can easily accommodate large parties! read more

The Biryani Corner - Main dining area with Son and Daughter - Indian Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

I'm usually not a fan of Indian cuisine, but The Biryani Corner completely changed my perspective. I took my mom here during her visit, and she instantly said this will now be her go-to spot every time she's in town. That says a lot. We started with the Loaded Butter Chicken Fries. WOW. Creamy, crispy, flavorful, and just the right amount of heat. I ordered them because I wanted my mom to try something unique, and we ended up scraping the plate clean. No regrets. It's easily my favorite dish here. Afterwards we both ordered the Lamb Bowl with a side of Sweet Potato Fries. Let me be clear, I do not like sweet potato fries... and yet I could not stop eating these. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and served with a creamy dip that brought it all together. Our server Will was fantastic. Attentive, friendly, and made sure everything came out quickly. You could tell he cared about the experience and genuinely enjoyed connecting with the customers. Great food. Great vibe. Great service. What more could you ask for? If you're anywhere nearby, stop what you're doing and go eat here. Trust me. Even if Indian food isn't usually your thing, The Biryani Corner might just make you a fan. read more

Biryanis is a weekly affair for my wife and when the Biryani Corner opened, we had to try it out. The location is slightly out of the way for us but the restaurant is spacious and there's plenty of parking. For appetisers, we ordered the Pani Puri -- the potato stuffing tasted slightly stale but the rest of the ingredients tasted great. Due to the ongoing avian flu, we ordered the Paneer Biryani with spice level 2. It was spicy for us but at the same time, we couldn't stop eating it. The Tamarind Julep unfortunately didn't go well with the biryani. To wrap things up, we ordered the Gulab Jamun Sundae -- which hit all the right spots! Overall, we had a great time at the Biryani corner. read more

I was excited to see a new restaurant come in this space and was even more pleased after eating here. We had the butter chicken loaded fries as an appetizer. They were very tasty and a fun twist on Indian food. Also had the paneer biryani, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. Everything was fresh, tasty, and came out quickly. The portions are also very large so although the price is on the higher end there was plenty for leftovers for lunch the next day which makes it more of a value than at first glance. The restaurant has a great ambiance and the servers were really nice. I'll definitely be back. read more

A mix of traditional Indian cuisine with some fun and interesting takes on Indian food. I wanted to try the whole menu, so I'll be back for more. I had the Loaded Butter Chicken Fries, which was very flavorful and fun version of loaded fries. Had the samosas as well, which were flavorful. Spice level was as requested. Loved chatting with Will the bartender! Great ambiance with big windows and modern decor. read more

I'd like to take this opportunity to comment on a few words about my experiences at The Biryani Corner 4821 Old Main St, Henrico, VA 23231 When we first arrived, we were greeted by the staff and were immediately seated at the bar. Will ran through multiple dishes to give us a full detail of what to expect, the flavor, spice levels, and or changes that the cook could do so that we were completely satisfied. Everything on the menu looked and sounded good, prior to getting our food order placed Will made sure to get our drink order and made several suggestions, depending on our interests, for example the Tamarind Mint Julep. My friend is a big margarita fan, so she got a Margarita Lychee which was crafted to perfection. I am normally a fan of drinks with Malibu rum, so Will prepared a Mango Boozey Lassi for myself. I don't ever drink frozen drinks with a meal, and I didn't know how it was going to react with the Indian food I was preparing to receive, but it was excellent and had a lot of flavors. After receiving our drinks, in a quick fashion our order was placed. We started with the Pani Puri, which was incredibly good and had so much flavor. My friend and I split that dish as a starter and toward the end we had to break the last piece in half because it was that good. My friend ordered Butter Chicken and that was excellent as well. I ordered the Chicken 65 with I think the mild spice level, it couldn't have been any better. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were bold, and everything we had just the right amount of kick without being overpowered. Will and Marleni gave us a heads up to try and start with mild, it's not overly spicy like some places that just kill a dish by making it intolerably spicy. Our meals came with Butter Naan and Garlic Naan, which were hot and fluffy, a nice size and cut nicely for serving. The cook Fernando did an absolutely tremendous job with our meals, and Biryani Corner is lucky to have him. While we were at the bar eating, the staff was very nice, polite, friendly and helpful. After some time, the manager Rameez came in and greeted us very professionally and made us feel welcome, which made the experience even better. Rameez gave us a little background on the restaurant, telling us it hasn't even been under this ownership for a year yet. From the beautiful decor, warm lighting, authentic music, and homestyle energy, we would not have known that. You feel at home and the food was at a whole other level. If we asked Rameez, Will or Marleni for anything, they were helpful, it's very obvious that this restaurant focuses solely on perfecting their food, and making their guests feel special. The staff and kitchen must take the extra step not to fail, because their guests must love the food and atmosphere here. I say that because we notice the whole time we dined in, a lot of people came in for takeout orders, and if they dined in then the staff knew them as regulars. The food was so good that I wanted to order more food to take later, but I was so full I didn't even have space to finish our dessert, the Chocolate Samosa. The kitchen prepares everything so fresh that Will even told us that the vanilla cream that comes with the Chocolate Samosa is made to order. The good selection of items and variety on the menu is indescribable. The staff was even extra helpful when a customer came in kind of late, near the time the bar and kitchen was closing. Will went to great lengths to satisfy the customer with what the restaurant could offer her at the time of the hour so that she could be completely satisfied. To the individual or business owners that is listed as the verified owner for this business profile, please bring to Rameez, Will, Marleni, and Fernando's attention that they were recognized in this review for their outstanding efforts. Keep satisfying us with the highest quality services and delivering value to your friends, family and customers. read more

We were craving Indian cuisine for a while and decided to give TBC a try. We had the butter chicken and the lamb buryani, both of which were delicious and very flavorful. Their cocktails are also a good choice too. We were wanting to try the loaded butter chicken fries, but unfortunately never received them. However, we did receive a complementary mango lassi on the house since our food took a little longer than expected. It was absolutely phenomenal and definitely helped cool down the spice. The restaurant itself was gorgeous with green overhangs and large paintings throughout the building. It had a very modern touch. I wish I had taken more pictures, but we are so excited to come back and eat here again! read more

The Biryani Corner - Chai Tini - Indian Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

I was pleased when I came to know of an Indian restaurant on this side of Richmond, since most are on the west end. Was super excited to try out their interesting takes on some of the menu items! I went with my husband and my 1 yr old son on a Friday evening- made a reservation but looks like we didn't need to, it wasn't busy but not empty either. The decor is beautiful and inviting. After reading some of the other reviews, we got the butter chicken fries and they did not disappoint! We polished that off pretty quickly, and my son loved it too. Win! For drinks we got the Lychee margarita (delicious, but a salt rim rather than a sugar rim would have been better) and the TBC old fashioned (nice and smoky, barely sweet). For mains we got the tandoori chicken and the coconut shrimp. While the tandoori chicken was on on point, the salad that came with it was a little odd with almonds on it. Was not a fan of that. The coconut shrimp, while succulent, had sauce with way too many curry leaves in it. I ended up taking the leftovers home and straining the sauce for it to be more palatable. The garlic naan accompaniment was flavorful but crispier than fluffy. That said, portion sizes were decent. Staff was attentive and courteous. We will return, so we can try some of the other items. The location is great with plenty of parking in the lot to the side of the building. read more

Hidden gem in Richmond. The butter chicken loaded fries are a fun spin on a classic. We were in and out in under an hour, with great recommendations from our server. Lamb biryani portions are massive. read more

Went for takeout. No wait (early Friday evening). The gentleman who took my order behind the bar was knowledgeable and friendly; service gets an A. Prices were a little high for Indian in Richmond. Ordered the gobi Manchurian (fried cauliflower in a mildly spicy sauce), coconut shrimp (shrimp in a coconut sauce), butter chicken, rice, and naan. Order arrived in a reasonable amount of time. The positives - the cauliflower was delicious, as were both of the sauces with the entrees. The cauliflower sort of reminded me of fried eggplant from Szechuan restaurants but a bit less spicy. Would definitely order that again if I went. Rice and naan were both fine - pretty much standard. The negative was the cook on both proteins. Both the chicken and the shrimp were, and this is putting it very, very, VERY mildly, overcooked. I don't think I have ever eaten shrimp that were that overcooked - they were inedible (I ate one). I ended up discarding the shrimp and just having the sauce over rice. Which was nice, but not worth $26, with no edible protein. The shrimp were quite small, which may have been a factor in the overcooking. The portion size of the shrimp appeared pretty small as well, which didn't really matter because they went in the garbage. The chicken was (thankfully) dark meat, which gave it a little protection from overcooking, and was barely edible - quite dry. Again, both sauces were very good. If they could get the cook on the proteins right, it would have been excellent. I think if I go again, I would stick to vegetarian entrees. But for $100 for those 3 dishes with naan and tip, I doubt I will be going back. read more

Incredible food. Lots Of traditional Indian dishes but also a few more modern ones (try the loaded fries - OMG). Fantastic service and wonderful atmosphere. Decorated very cute but not pretentious.

So excited to try this new Indian spot in Rockets Landing! We came in on a Friday around 1:30pm for a late lunch. The atmosphere is beautiful inside, big windows and lots of natural light. Our server was very attentive and super friendly and helpful with menu items. I started with a mango lassi and she was a thicccc mangoey-yogurty girl, exactly what I wanted. We started with the loaded butter chicken fries which were incredible! There were a lot of appetizer options we were thinking about but definitely loved the fries. Happy hour started at 2pm for 50% off select items and drink specials. For my entree I decided to go with our waiters recommendation of the lamb biriyani. Holy portion size. This is definitely worth the $22 I feel like I had three meals left over. You can choose from varying spice options, I chose spice level 3 which may have been a little too ambitious, so beware they don't mess around with the heat! I can't wait to come back and try more menu options at this chic Indian restaurant! read more

We placed an order for pickup and when we went there few minutes late but before 10 pm because we know that they close at 10, they had already closed. They didn't even call us to let us know that they will be leaving. While we were on the way, I called them a few times to let them know that I'm running a few minutes late than my pickup time but nobody picked up. Bizarre! Honestly, I have never seen something like this in my entire life. A restaurant takes the order and then closes early without any communication. read more

Amazing! More people need to know about this place so we can keep it! The butter chicken fries were the star, but I can't imagine not getting their tiki masala next time too. read more

The Biryani Corner - Butter chicken fries and the three dip appetizer - Indian Near Me - Henrico, Virginia

Food has no spice or flavor. Bland is the best description. Even after I ordered it to be the most spicy.

The food, ambience and service were Top Notch. An excellent addition to the Rocketts Landing Neighborhood. Would highly recommend

My husband and I have been here several times since TBC opened and it's been delicious every time! The appetizers are the best part of the menu. We haven't done this yet but we're planning to have appetizer dinner there soon. :))) Whoever did the interior design did a fantastic job. The mural is gorgeous! This restaurant did something cool with the back corner of the space (meaning, unlike former restaurants who were in the space). It's just lovely. So glad they moved into the neighborhood. read more

Delicious food! The woman who took our order was knowledgeable and made great recommendations. The lamb biryani was excellent and medium spicy was perfect amount of heat without taking away the flavor. The portion was absolutely huge! My friends split a biryani and still had food left over. The garlic naan went perfectly with my meal. And the restaurant is fairly new... just opened a month ago. With the food and ambiance, it's a great deal especially with the portion size! Highly recommend! read more

We were overnighting in town and visited this place based partly on reviews and partly because we just like Indian food. It was early on Sunday evening so still a bit slow and we got lots of personal attention from our server. We shared the dip trio which consisted of a spicy whipped yogurt-beetroot dip, an eggplant jam with red onion and spices (not hot), and an amazing whipped paneer with hot honey, served with butter naan triangles. Yum! Because it's Lent and I'm fasting I had the vegetable biryani which was spiced just right. My husband (who isn't fasting) had the beef kebab and pronounced it perfect. He also had the mango kulfi for dessert; I broke bad and tasted it and it was delicious. We will definitely be returning on any subsequent visits to Richmond and I've made him promise to bring me some of the dip trio any time he has occasion to come here. We also plan on telling our local friends about Biryani Corner! read more
