Greeted by family in this casual style restaurant. The traditional butter chicken hit the mark with a delicate sweetness. The basket of naan bread complemented the egg masala. The very rich and unique shahi tukda is a delicious dessert. A must try! Very friendly environment. read more

Just tried this place for lunch today. Unassuming decor but very clean . Super friendly staff that was willing to answer questions. Even though the wasn't a Lamb Biryani on the menu. The gentleman helping us said he could make it no problem. My wife ordered the Creamstone Chicken Kabobs which came out sizzling. We added 2 orders of Garlic Naan. Every bite was delicious! And the portions were very generous. We will definitely be back. read more

I am writing this review after my second disappointment visit and decided not to visit this place again. First disappointment visit was in the month of june-july when temperature used to be 110-113. It was afternoon time very hot weather. I entered the store, sat down on the table. I ordered food. Got it on the table within few minutes. I realized it was very very hot inside and AC wasn't working at all. They had one cooler on the front counter which was working. I told the employee that it's really hot here and i am sweating. The cooler's face was towards the other table(probably their favorable people). I could tell that from their way of talking with each other. I thought they will adjust the face of the cooler so i will also get some air as well. Employee saw me i was sweating a lot. He went inside the kitchen(had some conversation with other guy). Other guy came outside and moved the face of cooler little bit towards me. Still that was ok for me. I was getting very little air because still most of the cooler face was towards their favorable people's table. Then guy went inside the kitchen (had some conversation) came back within 2-3 minutes and moved the cooler face back towards those favorable people's table. That's where i felt really bad. Then i told the employee please give me a to go box i cannot eat here. I paid, took my food and ate in my car in the parking lot. Then i decided not to visit this place soon. After 3-4 months, I decided to visit this place. So i went with my wife last Sunday for dinner. We live almost 50 miles from this place. So we drove almost an hour. We entered into the restaurant. And loud noise and screaming sounds were coming outside the restaurant. We saw there was one big family was having dinner ( i guess party ). Employee gave us a table. We ordered the food. But these kids boys and girls were jumping screaming running everywhere inside the restaurant. We couldn't even talk with each other. We couldn't listen each other. They were coming next to our table and jumping screaming and making very uncomfortable. Their moms were not telling anything to these kids. After a while we got really frustrated with this. We didn't go here to have this kind of experience after driving one hour. So we were looking at the employees, so at least they will do something. I understand you need customers so you can't say much to them but at leaset when things were getting so annoying, and they understood that they were doing too much. you guys should have told them that other people are not enjoying their food at all. And we didn't enjoy our food at all. So this kept going for about 30 minutes easily. We were almost done and that time those people left and employee (she) was telling us , i can't tell anything to them. But you saw, we were not enjoying the food at all. This is not a playground. You guys should understand to control the situation in the restaurant. So we told her, you need those customers and not us and we will not visit again. read more

They are great at letting me know which menu items are vegan. They said they had aloo tiki even though it's not on the menu. This is a go to spot for pani puri (with 2 filling options!). Really friendly service. Nice ambiance; good for a date besides ordering at the counter. read more

The cashew goat as something different but not bad. Great efforts for Biriyani.. call it proper with one full egg , fried onions, separated rice..served with salan and raita. This place has much better food compared to some high end restaurants. Honestly the good service and food quality makes them a candidate for a bigger scale restaurant. I wished they Shahi Tukda prepared as it was menu item and I wanted to try. For a Monday evening it has good number of customers. read more

Small place, but wonderful food, prepared while you wait, beautiful presentation and seems like authentic food, full of flavor. We didn't know dishes were for sharing and most of it was very spicy.Next time we know how to order. Pleasant service. read more

Really enjoyed the lunch special. Lots to choose from for a good price. Went with a crew from work, we all got served quickly and enjoyed our meals. read more

The food was delicious and the service was quick! Will definitely come here again! The masala dosa was really good and the chaat was fantastic! Definitely recommend the mango lassi as well read more

This place is an absolute gem! So many incredible vegetarian options on the menu, the ambiance is very clean and welcoming, and the service was lovely. All items we ordered were delicious. I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by this place on the way back from Tahoe without a lot of expectation due the mixed reviews. The place was clean so that was a positive. We reached around 7pm and there were not many patrons. There was a strong smell (I suspect fish) and then when I asked if they had the South Indian Medu Vada the answer was no - so I was gearing up to be disappointed. However one of the ladies quickly helped us and made sure we got what we needed like sweet tamarind date chutney for our pain puri. The pani puri plate was unexpectedly good - my son who does not like spicy food ate the whole plate with the sweet chutney and we ended up ordering one more. She also was very helpful and customized the Indo Chinese noodles with vegetables and eggs and made it less spicy and our kids thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the Rava Dosa, it was slightly greasy but the flavor with ginger and green chilies reminded me of home, the flavor was so on point. It came with a good sambar and few chutneys - I mostly liked the yellow ginger flavor chutney. The white and the red chutney was so so. My husband liked his Chicken Biriyani. This was a lot of food for us, so ended up packing it back home. The place got busy as we started eating around 7.30 pm - and I could feel the staff that was serving were getting busy (only two of them) - we had to flag them down for extra napkins or clearing out some of the dishes but they were very polite and helpful. Overall loved the place - unexpectedly good food, helpful ladies (especially thankful for the person who made sure to help us) and a clean place including the restrooms. read more

Copying my Google review here: Wow, this place is a 10/10. AMAZING food and service. My first time ever trying Indian food and I was blown away. Our server was very nice and helped us choose our dishes. This will be one of my family's new go-to restaurants. Our main dishes were chicken tikka masala and paneer kadai. Both amazing and unique. read more

Excellent food and service. The Chicken Biryani was really good. Server was informative and attentive.

This place has the best homemade style Indian food I've had. I ordered the daal, it was so amazing and delicious. The service is very quick and everyone was super friendly. I highly recommend ordering the daal if you come here!!!! read more

I have had the Rajamundri biryani at this place before and it was good. Today ordered the same biryani and the level of spice was so high making it inedible. I am Indian and love spicy food. This was a waste of time and money. read more

Met a friend here for lunch today. It was my first time in and I knew it was going to be delicious as soon as the aromas hit me as I was coming in the door. The place is simply and tastefully decorated, and very clean and neat. The server invited me to pick a table as I told her that I would be waiting for a friend. She immediately brought water to my table, and a few minutes into my wait came to see if perhaps I would like, another drink. I finished a tasty and refreshing mango lasse just as my friend arrived. The server was VERY attentive and was able to make excellent recommendations from the menu. It was DELISH. Nice presentation, generous portions, and beautifully complex flavors! Will be back for sure! read more

Tried this place (recommended by a friend) last weekend 9/2024, and I was not disappointed. This restaurant has a variety of different biriyanis to choose from. I had not seen so many biriyani options before at any restaurant, so I was really happy to see this. They also offer great chaat options including different kinds of pani puri. Everything tasted great, and the spice was perfect. Service was amazing. Very attentive, and they answered questions about menu items as well as suggesting certain dishes. Ambience also great. Comfortable seating. read more

My daughter and I enjoy Indian food, but we had yet to find our favorite Indian restaurant until last night. The menu had many dishes to choose from, and the food and service were great! The ambiance was comfortable, and the staff was extremely friendly. Biryani & Chaat is now our go-to restaurant when we are craving Indian food. read more

I gave it 4 stars because it's good food but not great. The menu items are pricey and the food seems to lack one ingredient or so to make it great. Enjoy your visit and owners are very nice. read more

The food was AMAZING. The service was phenomenal. We sat outside and it was beautiful weather cute string lights!

Came across this place as we had to stop and charge our car. We ordered for take out and got the butter chicken and roti. We were sooooo impressed with the flavors of the butter chicken and how silky the sauce was. Seasoned really well and the roti to dip in it was the perfect combo. My husband went back in to tell them how good our food was. Everyone in there was helpful and nice and recommended we write a review! I haven't been on yelp lately but this place was so good I wanted to write a review. Can't wait to add this place as a stop for us when traveling to and from Reno and a plus since you can charge your car too! read more

As someone who moved from England--where Indian food is arguably the best outside of India--I had been struggling to find good Indian cuisine locally. That all changed when Biriyani and Chaat opened its doors. I recently visited with my family and my non-Indian in-laws, and even they were impressed. We ordered a variety of dishes including Chicken Tikka, Paneer Saag, Naan, Rice, and a Paneer Biryani. Each dish was exceptional: the curries were rich and creamy, and the rice was buttery and melted in your mouth. The complimentary chai was a delightful touch, and the staff were incredibly accommodating, especially with my toddler. What makes this restaurant truly special is its unique blend of South Asian flavors. Curious about their diverse menu, I spoke with the owners and discovered that the husband is from Tamil Nadu and the wife is from Punjab. This fusion of backgrounds is clearly reflected in the delicious and varied flavors of their food. Biriyani and Chaat is a gem, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a authentic and delicious South Asian food! read more

We had the shrimp biryani along with the veggie biryani, garlic naan, and some other appetizers and everything was absolutely delicious. Clean and well lit place although spare and slightly cool temp wise. Friendly and helpful service. We'll definitely be back. read more

Everything about this place was a great experience. Service was excellent, lots of care in explaining the different dishes we were ordering and caution about spicier items. The food was to die for! Fair pricing as well. 10000% worth it. We will definitely be back! read more
