    Nihari and condiments
    Edward S.

    Your search for outstanding biryani in LA ends at Biryani Kabob House. The biryani is fragrant, fluffy, and incredibly flavorful. In addition to biryani, this South Asian spot makes hearty Pakistani dishes with bold spices and an emphasis on tender meat. Hyderabadi Lamb Biryani: This biryani is a magical blend of basmati rice, spices, onions, ghee, and lamb shank. The soft and luscious lamb meat easily flakes off the giant bone. The separate ingredients are beautifully layered together so the flavors are distinct and complementary. The warm spices provide great depth of flavor. On the side is a cool and creamy mint chutney. Nihari: Large tender beef shanks are slowly braised in a vibrant spice blend with onions, garlic, and ghee. The soft gelatinous connective tissue throughout the succulent meat is delicious coated in the rich and meaty stew. Tear chunks off the large chewy naan and form pockets filled with beef and gravy. Top it with raw onions, cilantro, ginger slivers, and a squeeze of lemon juice. The condiment plate here didn't have any chili peppers, but there was a little heat in the dish. Chicken Curry: Large chunks of boneless chicken thighs and potatoes are stewed in onions, tomatoes, and spices. The curry is thick and flavorful. Ordering: The friendly owner is happy to explain the dishes and offer recommendations. After you order your main dishes, you can grab beverages from the fridge or samosas from the case. When you're done eating, you pay at the register.

    Chicken Roll

    My friend got Indian food a few weeks ago so I felt inspired to get some too (or Pakistani food, not sure). Regardless, I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed it. I love how big the naan is that they give you. They make it fresh too. Even though I've tried a bunch of their skewers, this time I tried the fish karahi, which came with my choice of naan or rice. I chose naan. It was really good but it was a little too spicy for me. The cashier told me they could add yogurt the next time around. However, what really stood out is how the fish was cooked. I feel in American restaurants, fish is just cooked in a way that makes it just taste ok. However, at like Chinese restaurants, they really know how to make the fish taste amazing and have it be so plump and juicy. They make their fish like that here! The juicy and plump way where you're just like, "Wow I just want to keep eating this!" I also got a chicken roll too which is fried and crispy. Good appetizer. They also have water for free here too but I didn't see the dispenser so I just brought something from my car in. The ambiance is cozy here. Nice seating area. Worth visiting if you want really good LA Indian food and haven't been spoiled by extraordinary SF Indian food.

    Our glorious order

    This was such a delicious experience. We ordered from the counter and waited patiently in the small dining area. The smells were the appetizer. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and the fries absorbed so much of the same delicious flavor. The green sauce alone could have made anything taste yummy! Everything was next level - smallish dining room so if it's busy consider taking it to go, it will travel well.

    The food was absolutely delicious! Everything was full of flavor and tasted very authentic. The spices were perfectly balanced, and you can tell everything was made fresh. The staff was also very welcoming and kind. Definitely coming back!

    Chicken Biriyani

    In an unassuming strip mall in Koreatown lies Biryani Kabob House. As busy as it was when we came in this hole in the wall, my boyfriend and I had great expectations and obviously, we were not disappointed. Ambiance wise, it's your typical restaurant serving fresh, hearty and delicious home style cooking of Pakistani food. There was a mini TV showcasing Pakistani shows and videos which I'm sure felt comforting to everyone eating inside the restaurant. The inside had limited seating so prepare to wait. Luckily, there was a table available right away so waiting wasn't a problem when we came in on a Sunday night past dinner time. The food was very delicious and the portions were very generous. For the price that you are paying for quality Halal food, everything is worth every dollar. The owner was very kind and accommodating to our needs. The staff member was also very clean as he was wiping the tables and chairs as expected when a customer leaves. I highly recommend in supporting this small business.

    Overpriced but not the worst. The food was good but not amazing. I noticed they used pre made Shan masala's and not their own blend and the Keema we had to return because it wasn't hitting. They were kind enough to return it. The vibe did feel very Pakistani so there is that. Service was good.

    Overcooked cheese naan

    I have ordered many times. After today's delivery. I will never order again. The Cheese naan was overcooked. The paratha was Burnt. Chicken byrianim chicken was burnt and rice dry. I ordered 3 items and all 3 items were horrible. NEVER AGAIN WILL I ORDER FROM THEM.

    Bangladesh can be so proud of this amazing little treasure chest of some of the best of the Middle East you've ever tasted. The names might need similar to the numerous Indian establishments around LA and Artesia, but this is not the same common fare at all. The kitchen is amazingly efficient and everything comes out juicier and tastier than every other version you might have tried before. The family run establishments grates everyone with a smile and warm heart like welcoming you to their home (even though it's actually a repurposed old Thai place that has karaoke setup once upon a time. Parking is a tiny 12 space lot typical of the edge of K-town but there are some street spots within walking distance nearby. You will not be disappointed you found this place tucked into the corner of an otherwise unremarkable strip mall. Mani gems are found in the most unlikely of places. Spice levels are mild to moderate and more distinctive than what you've probably tried before. Just go and enjoy!

    This hole-in-the-wall restaurant is a must-try! Probably my favorite spot I've had for Indian/Pakistani food, though I am no expert. Situated in a small plaza, this unassuming Biriyani spot packs so much flavor into each dish. They fortunately have a parking lot, but unfortunately, it is pretty small and spots are limited. The restaurant itself is also compact, using the space effectively to accommodate customers that opt to dine-in. Service is no frills yet friendly and quick. If you pay cash, you save 5% apparently. Each entree comes with your choice of either plain naan or white rice, no substitutions or upgrades!! We ordered the chicken tandoori (4 pieces) with rice, lamb korma with plain naan, and an additional garlic naan. Total came out to $36 after paying in cash. The highlight of the night was the chicken tandoori. Portion was GENEROUS and the meat was so tender (we were first only using a fork and spoon to get the meat off the bone). AND SO FLAVORFUL. This is what chicken tandoori is supposed to taste like. The complementary sauce on the side added a nice touch. Lamb korma sauce was yum, I've never tasted anything like it, a bit on the sweeter side. Garlic naan was solid but lacking compared to the other dishes, expected more of a garlic punch. Will be back to try more SOON.

    Cheese Naan
    Mr. Juan D.

    I kept seeing this spot pop up on Instagram and finally decided to check it out--especially after seeing how humble and passionate the owner is. That energy really shows through in the food. While out in LA County with a buddy, we made the trip over and let me just say: it did not disappoint. We ordered the Tandoori chicken, lamb biryani, and cheese naan--and everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken had that perfect smoky-char flavor with bold seasoning that hits just right. The lamb biryani was flavorful, tender, and fragrant, and the cheese naan was straight-up addictive. Customer service was great--super friendly staff and welcoming vibes. It wasn't packed when we got there (lucky us), but people were clearly placing a ton of online and phone orders, so it's definitely a hot spot with locals. I'm already planning to come back and try more dishes--the fish and other options looked fire. If you're in the LA area and craving legit Indian food, this is the spot. Don't sleep on it.

    Vegetable Curry (Cauliflower, Zuccini, Carrots, Peas, Potato, Carrots)
    Wendy S.

    Super delish. Feels very traditional/authentic with great flavors. My favorite so far (although haven't tried a lot yet) are the lamb Biriyani (obviously per the restaurant's name) and the lamb Karahi. The lamb biriyani is great value, large size, lots of large chunks of meat and subtle yet great flavor. Just want to keep eating it! The Lamb karahi is super flavorful. The volume isn't as much but the flavor makes up for it. There's not much in it except for a few large chunks of lamb. The fattier pieces are superb, there are some lean cuts that are drier. The vegetable curry is also amazing! Super flavorful, variety in vegetables and large chunks of vegetables, like 90% vegetables 10% sauce, great dish. My other favorite is the Rasmalai. Surprisingly comforting, not overwhelmingly sweet, just right. Slurped up the milky sauce even! The Chicken Tandoori is as it should be. Not anything surprisingly so neutral about it. The Chicken roll is also just alright. Read a stellar shoutout about it but perhaps not to my taste. it's like a fried burrito (chewy dough which is great) but dry ground chicken inside. Not too bad, not raveable good. The not so great dishes that dissapointed a bit were the: 1) Lamb chops: sour and not too much meat (nor pieces / only 1/2 of the container), mostly bone. There's even a lemon inside to squeeze more sourness on it? lol (speaking from ignorance of not knowing how to eat this dish perhaps :) ) Most of the sides are also burnt (understandable from the oven method but definitely carcinogenic so need to remove all the burnt parts) 2) Naan: was most looking forward to this one (got the regular and garlic). They are super long big pieces (almost like 2x size), but rather flat (dead/not risen dough instead of the fluffy kind I was hoping for). I read Pakistan naan is fluffier than Indian naan so was surprised at the reversal. But definitely very home-made feel. 2) Gulab Jamun: perhaps it's the normal taste (it tastes great still) but was just way too sweet for me. The sweetness overwhelmed the rose water fragrance. Service: despite ordering quite a big order, was fast! Ready in ~ 25 mins. The staff was very friendly too, helped carry part of my order to my car (he felt may be too heavy/a lot by myself but it was manageable :) ) Parking: there is free parking lot in front. Overall, great restaurant! Definitely a regular place for me!

    (Take-out: 03/07/26)…read more IN SHORT: Beyond exceptional - phenomenal - sensational. My take-out was popadoms, mango pickle, carrot pickle, garlic basil naan, mulligatawny soup, chicken buna, chicken balti, fried rice. PROS: insanely delicious and authentic Indian cuisine, succulent tender & crumbly chicken (100% very fresh white meat), melt in the mouth awesomeness, the freshest of spices & ingredients, with exceptionally-good service - top notch, lovely staff. In short, the BEST Indian cuisine I have ever had in Los Angeles. You will NOT regret this choice of restaurant, I guarantee. CONS: Almost none, but I would say the poppadoms were advertised as 4, but were more like 2 - difficult to tell since they come in broken pieces in a small brown paper bag (for take-out); also, the garlic basil naan was a little too 'doughy' for my personal liking, but that's just me - no biggie whatsoever - it was still fabulous. Limited parking on the lot, but street parking all around in the historical neighborhood of sweet Los Feliz. Inside, the main restaurant is medium-sized (cosy & intimate, certainly not cramped) and totally gorgeous - plush decor, terrific ambience, high-class romantic vibes, perfect lighting and music, with very pleasant seating booths for parties of four, and the some additional tables for two. Great choice for a date night. SPICE LEVEL ADVISORY: I had requested my two curry dishes as spice level 'hot', and they really were at the top-end of my tastebud limits (I am a very experienced curry diner from Manchester, England, where hot really does mean hot!) - both dishes were truly out-of-this-world (no exaggeration), but they really blew my socks off - in a good way. Can't imagine having spice level 'very hot' as I'm sure that would be WAY too much for me to handle. But, you on the other hand, should totally go for it - if you dare! :-) In conclusion, I was literally blown-away by this wonderful restaurant - both metaphorically and gastronomically. Thank you to the lovely lady and her brother who made this, my first try-out, unforgettable. From this day forward, my 'go-to' Indian restaurant without hesitation. Finally, I found you! :-)
