Went to this restaurant with bunch of friends but unfortunately food that was served to us was stale. Breads(naan) was stale too. Except desserts, nothing tasted well. I wouldn’t suggest anyone to go there.

I usually pick up Chicken biryani during work days. It hits the spot every time. Very close to authentic hyderabadi chicken biryani with good quantity of chicken every time. What I am most pleased with is the consistency in taste every time I go there.

Went for the first time and had my family with me. I was not expecting a great dining experience based on ambience. Just wanted to see how good the biryanis were. We ordered the staples — Chicken and Goat Biryanis. I am used to spicy, but was sweating by the end of the meal. They should ask about spiciness levels at the time of taking the order. At least, the portions were generous and I would have easily given them 4 stars, until this happened: when I went to pick up the plates and silverware, there was a roach crawling on the stack of plates! I brought it to the attention of the cashier and was told the owner was not there. Having read some of the other reviews, it seems like cleanliness, or lack thereof, is a common complaint. I would like to go back because of the biryani but will give it some time in the hope that the owner takes care of the roach infestation in the meantime.

Good food, good price. Apollo fish, lamb biryani and Paneer Manchurian were very good. The lamb biryani was one of the best I have had in this area. Egg biryani lacked flavor.

Service and cleanliness are the first two things you expect to be excellent walking into a restaurant… this place was lacking on both. It was filthy inside, dusty, crumby, spotty– you name it; it needs a good wipe down… and don’t get me started on being handed a spoon with the mouth piece cupped in the servers hand. GROSS, no thank you. Food was decent but not worth the health risk, we will not be back.

The food is ok, but that is the only thing I like about this place. Over the past 2+ years, I’ve tried their biryanis and some of their curries, and I’m sad to say that the quality has gone down over time. The biryanis used to taste much better, but they don’t anymore. Only item I would recommend is Dal Tadka.(If you order close to their closing time, the only item they would have available is biryani.) The place is dirty(like I saw cockroaches running around the floor two or three times when I entered). I lived walking distance from this place so I’d only do take out from here if I really didn’t feel like driving, or if I couldn’t get to other places in time. The TV plays bollywood songs all the time and I don’t know if some parents might be comfortable with their kids watching some of them. The service is ok. Sometimes the people have been somewhat rude to me, but my experience is limited to ordering on the phone, picking up the order and leaving.(A few times they handled my credit cards with their hands dirty and it irked me.) Overall, I’d ask people to avoid this place unless they are craving something they can’t find from other places. If you do get something, please take it to go, as I would NOT recommend dining in.

Tried the veg biryani here. It was below avg., it was very salty and had no layer of gravy inside. The rice was dry and had just 3 – 4 small vegetables in it. Not recommended.

Lemme start with the service. The restaurant is dirty. The service is pathetic. No sense of co-ordination within folks working here. They dnt give a sht if u ordered early for pick up. The first thing they did was greedily ask for payment and left me hanging for 10 minutes. Usually i dnt complain for a little delay but with a cab waiting outside, it was such a turn off They have no respect for cutomers and it seemed as if they were doing a service to u for free. Food The biryani is mediocre and I have tasted better biryanis in Herndon Reston area. Cleanliness The place is littered with dirt and paper pieces. The kitchen is astoundingly dirty and from outside looks like a dingy shithole. Never coming back!

Very salty and only few pieces of goat like 2 or 3 in big bowl of rice. Also by default should be on the less spicy side but it was heavily salted and spicy. Last time I tried chicken biryani still better in the rice department but on 2 small pieces . They do have scope of improving if they want. But for now I am not going back.

My review is not for food but for the people who take order. service is awful. called up and the guy answered the call and took my order. i drove to the location and he said he did not get any call. i did show him my call history he said its his number but denied getting any call. it was baseless arguing with him at that hour. it was waste of time for us to drove all the way to herndon.

Discovered this place after moving around the corner. I had the paneer tikka masala and the biryani; knowing what real hyderabadi biryani is like, this place was disappointing. The curry was watery and biryani was really lacking flavor & something I couldn’t put my finger on. Altogether, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. Also as for the place itself, its like a lot of other southern indian places; Basically a canteen so its not the best looking place.

I have been craving biryani ever since my trip to Pune, India. Having Indian food for 3 weeks nonstop and then coming back to a kale salad is depressing. I Unilocaled this place prior to going and this one stood out because of «hyderabadi» in its name. The city Hyderabadi is notoriously famous for its biryani and this place came close. The spices were on point and the chicken was tender. The only thing I found strange was that I received a lime instead a lemon, which I’m not used to. Loved the raw onions, as they give you plenty in India.

Not a bad place to grab take out, but definitely lacking the ambiance for in-house dining. This simple order at the counter joint turns out decent food for the price you pay. There is some bit of a wait for the food. We tried the chicken biryani, navratan korma, and lamb curry. The curry items come in pint plastic containers, a side of rice, and naan. Order to your desired spice levels. We ordered something on the spicy level, mentioning we would like a dish that was spicy and they delivered on that. The lamb was tender. The chicken biryani was delicious and came with an egg, lime, and sliced onions. There were about 3 – 4 pieces of chicken that covered the entire bottom of the container.
