    Mutton Dum Biryani
    P A.

    This review is for mutton dum biryani that is available only Fri through Sunday. Been in the bay for over 15 years and tasted every popular place in south bay and east bay, I would say this is the truly authentic dum biryani I ever had. They use fresh goat meat, hence succulent with perfect amount of spices. As you open the box you get a smell of cloves and cardamom. The salan and raita is on the thinner side which is how it should be. You have option to order double masala which makes it on the spicier side. From now onwards this would be my go to place for dum Biryani. One improvement they can do is use bigger box. As you take it in the plate it creates a mess.

    On the menu it was written that it would be "very mild" but was actually spicy Too much cinnamon. Every bite I have remove the cinnamon before chewing into it They could make it better Service was good

    Store didn't honor this offer.

    I ordered the ghee roast paneer keema biryani family pack, and it had way too many cinnamon sticks in every bite--definitely overkill. I also tried the complimentary paneer 65, which had a nice flavor, but the paneer was raw and chewy. The biryani had a good flavor overall, but it didn't taste very authentic to me. Service was a bit slow; we waited about 15 minutes even though no one else was in line, but I don't mind waiting for fresh food. Lastly, they didn't honor the free biryani Yelp check-in offer, which was a bit disappointing. There are few tables near the food truck which are good enough for sitting down and having a meal.

    Kitchen. What is synthetic motor oil doing there ?

    Tried Paneer Biryani, tasted great but had a stomach upset next day. Dasher sent a picture of their kitchen, what is Synthetic motor oil cans doing in their kitchen? See the pic

    No meat, bland rice. Not really biryani, poorly made "meat" pulao. Hope they can do better if I take another chance.

    Tried paneer 65 briyani and it tastes amazing. The spices were well balanced. More than enough quantity for the price. Highly recommended.

    Perfect place to grab a good/proper DUM or GHEE ROAST biryani's. Also don't forget to grab samosa's while you place the order

Raunak is part of a corner plaza and there's parking available but it could be limited during peak eating hours. It has a classy, beautiful interior that has great ambience for dinner with friends or a date with your partner. The staff were friendly, nice, and attentive. I ordered the mutton biryani! It had such a beautiful and colorful presentation from the veggies, meat, and rice combined. It was a bit spicy but it was paired with a great amount of raita to mellow out the flavors. Lots of pieces with bone in, it was tender and delicious. The staff were so nice in setting the mood for our birthday guests by even playing happy birthday in the background. Great experience for fine dining in Milpitas!

They were happy to make a reservation for us as well. For me personally, I ordered the Butter Naan & Chicken Tikka Masala. To be honest, I have had better tikka masala elsewhere... but it was pretty decent here! It was REALLY CREAMY and the flavors still came through. Chicken wasn't tough and the portions were fine. The Saag Aloo was flavorful and spicy! The consistency was really thick too. I also tried the Mutton Biryani and it was delicious! Flavored really well and the sheep was tender. Quite spicy!

    I felt like I didn't get my daily protein quota today and was looking for a place to get some good…read morespiced chicken. Yelp said this place is open till midnight but I wasn't taking any chances driving from Hayward, so I called their number and they confirmed that they are open till midnight, all days! The truck is parked on a 7-11 parking lot on S. Abbot. They have two tables and 4 chairs for people wanting to sit there and eat. We ordered an Achari chaap ( soya protein) and a Rumali roti for my husband. For myself I got their tandoori chicken which came with 2 drumsticks and two thighs. The chicken itself was juicy and definitely well marinated. The achari chaap was a bit tangy for my husband's liking but had great taste and flavor if you ask me. The Rumali roti was soft and fresh. We also had chai which was creamy and hot! Food came out quite fast even though they had said it would take 15 mins. A couple things that stood out were the portions, which were plentiful and the prices which are very reasonable. Sunny the person at the window was super nice and patient taking our order and didn't mind husband and I going back and forth over what we wanted to eat. Hubs wants to go back and try their chole bhature, and I want to try their chaat items next time.

    Update (04/19/26): What's the point of staying open late if half the menu isn't available?…read more We got back late from a trip and specifically called in to order chole bhature, since this is one of the few places near us open till midnight. However, we were told that bhaturas (and anything fried) aren't available after 10 PM, which was really disappointing. We were instead offered chole kulche, and since we didn't have many late-night options, we agreed. We were told the order would be ready in 15-20 minutes, but when we arrived, the food already felt cold, like it had been sitting out for a while. It got worse when we reached home--the kulchas were burnt, making the meal quite unpleasant. After a long day of travel, this was the last thing we expected. We were too tired to go back, but honestly, this was not acceptable. If you're advertising late hours, the quality and availability should match. This experience was really disappointing.
