This place is crap. I really liked the owner and his hospitality on the first day but the food was bad first day. Today again i tried the biryani which was too good in Fremont branch but was very bad here in Dublin. Final decision: No more take out or dine in from this location. Sorry Praveen but you asked for honest opinion. Seems like the recipes in this branch are too diffident than Fremont. read more

Biryani Bistro - Will have to throw this completely. Too bad from biryani bowl. - Indian Near Me - Dublin, California

This place has one of the best biryanis in dublin. The lunch options are good. The naan and curry varieties are very tasty. The staff and management are very warm and welcoming. i will definitely suģgest this place to some one wanting to eat Indian food. read more

I was excited to try this place for my love of biryani - and unfortunately they did not deliver. Spices were okay, rice was dry. But what really killed the deal was the quality and taste of chicken. That was not good. I would give 0 or 1 star probably to the biryani. The veggie dishes that we ordered were surprisingly good! Malai kofta, paneer sizzler and naan were above expectations - 4 stars to the veggie dishes. I just wished they had better biryani (you know, since they are called biryani bowl) read more

We wanted to try this restaurant for some time and today we hit it lucky, e were there late enough that it was open. We discovered they had a combination platter that included shrimp, lamb, and chicken and that we could share it and that it came with naan. We also decided to get a pint of their vegetable sweet corn soup. Everything was beyond exceptional. We loved every taste and we really appreciated the quality of the food. My only complaint is that they kept trying to push us into buying more food. I have no idea who they're used to dealing with but we do not eat large lunches because it makes us too sleepy to work in the afternoon. If you go in, be prepared to order what you not want and say no to anything else read more

I tried these new kids on the block for Sunday dinner. Overall the restaurant was crowded and lots of to go orders. I was encouraged. Ordered their Chicken Tikka and Chilli Chicken for appetizers. Tikka was pretty good and freshly made. Chilli Chicken tasted not so fresh. When called out, the owner was immediately responding and replaced the dish. I have to say it was made fresh and tasted well. The Chicken briyani was medium spiced and tasted pretty good. Portion size is good too. Naan and chicken korma were good too. Overall lot of promising dishes and I am looking forward to go there again. Recommend it highly. If you are pressed for time, I suggest to go orders as the seating space is tiny. read more

Wow! What a great place! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the owner of the place. Praveen made us feel right at home, like we were having dinner at his house. The food was equally amazing. It tasted homemade with a lot of love. We had the chicken biryani and the egg bhaji. It was prepared with fresh ingredients. The spice level was perfect. I also really appreciated how attentive the staff was and how clean and organized the restaurant was. We will definitely be back! read more

This is our go to Biriyani place. Pretty consistent with their Biriyanis, so it's worth giving them a second chance. Starters are a hit or miss. read more

We were a group of 5 and had a dining experience. Below is our experience. Samosa - made with spoiled potatoes. Gobi Manchuria - it was raw. Both batter and gobi were still raw. Ulavcharu and Veg Biryani - I have eatery better at Fremont location Chicken biryani - only bones, no meat. Won't come again ever. read more

I was starving and ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Okra yesterday and it was the grossest Indian food I have ever ate. Chicken tikka masala was so sweet, it was like I was eating dessert instead of food. No flavor. So gross. And the Okra had a piece of plastic in it. Just disgusting. This was my first time trying this place. I will never go back. What a waste of money. I dont get how this place has been rated with 4 stars. I wouldn't even give it one star if I could. read more

Another great location of Biryani Bowl in Dublin, Ca. I have been a regular customer of this restaurant and I must say the food is consistently delicious! I have tried most of everything and I always leave feeling satisfied and happy. Love this place!!! read more

See all

This location was amazing, their service was efficient. We ordered chicken tikka masala, chicken dum biryani, garlic naan, and mango lassi. Our food was brought to our table in less than 10min. If you love a little kick to your chicken tikka masala, this is the place to go. We will definitely be returning back here! read more

Biryani Bistro - Chicken Dum Biryani - Indian Near Me - Dublin, California

Food is OK ( not excellent through) their Online Order system sucks! I ordered food Online (with payment ) and also received an email confirmation. When I went to the restaurant to pick up my order, it was not ready and we found that that they never got my Order!!! after I showed them my email they believed me and doing some investigation they said it's their mistake. Well, I had to wait again for more than half hr to get my order!!! ( This is Not at all acceptable ...especially if they want to do business in Bay Area) also what you see is not what you get here!! ( don't go on their Photos ) read more

Amazing food and great staff! Have always had a great experience here and the food is always great. The corn soup and butter chicken is my favorite! Especially the cheese naan! read more

Corn soup is so good! And veg samosas 10/10 experience every time. Great place to go w friends :)

First time here and my last. The front of the house really need to work on their customer service skills. No greet, smile, ..., no thank you or goodbye. Not even a smile, especially the gal that works there. After waiting a while at our table the gal came up with her electronic device and stood there, not a single word. Would it hurt to say hello how are you? Other than the coldness the food was so-so - below average. Never had a bland biryani before. The only thing good was the mango lassi. Parking is a bit limited so bring your patience. read more

My wife and i decided to go to Biryani Bowl in Dublin. The place looked empty but there was a constant line of people coming to pickup takeout orders. We sat down and were served by the owner, very nice hospitable guy. We ordered Chicken Biyani and Chicken tikka kabob. My wife got a small chikoo shake which was very good. They also sell Chinese food which i was surprised about. We sampled some and really like it. The food was excellent. Oordered some rasmalai which looked like was made from scratch. The raita was excellent, not watered down. I recommend this place highly .Good quality food. I would like to request one restaurant to be opened closer to us in Concord. Well worth the trip. read more

I sincerely hope the Bryani bowl will deliver the high quality of food and service as time wears on, so many businesses are great for a few months then drop as soon as they get established. on my first visit I found good service and best Indian food I've had in 29 yrs. I only found one thing lacking, NO KHIR offered, that's my favorite dessert but instead their GulabJamin was fantastic and fresh! read more

Love this place. Chicken tikka masala is fantastic, and everything else we've tried is really good. Employees are really friendly, and the owner is almost always here making sure everything is running well. Tip: bring cash, they give you a discount on take out orders if you pay with cash read more

No frills environment but food is tasty and portions are reasonable. Some staff are difficult to understand.

We ordered the Tiki Masala and the Chicken Biriyani from this place and unfortunately got VIOLENTLY ill from the meal. I'm not sure if it was a fluke food poisoning incident but our bowls and plumbing sustained CRITICAL DAMAGE after our meal. For the safety of the tristate area we will not be visiting again. read more

We're a Muslim family of four that decided to come here based on the good things we heard from other relatives. The staff was very nice, and the owner was there as well to constantly make sure our dining experience was going well. We were seated immediately upon arrival, and we didn't have to wait long for our food to come to our table despite the amount we ordered. The owner was even kind enough to give us two servings of gulab jamun on the house. Our overall experience was really good, the food was amazing, we ordered the chicken tikka masala, chicken fried rice, and chicken noodles, and a platter with mixed meats, as well as my mom's favorite, the custard apple smoothie, which was unique and surprisingly tasty. We will definitely be back because of the comfortable experience, , excellent service and delicious halal food choices. :) read more

The quality of the food was awesome, we tried Boneless chicken Biryani, Tandoori mixed platter, Butter chicken and Mutton Biryani, all are excellent. Great customer service and hospitality. read more

Our new finding, Today we visited this restaurant. The ambiance is simple and good. Great customer service and hospitality. The quality of the food was awesome. The choices of food were incredible. It tastes like home food. I bet you can give a try! You won't get disappointed. read more

Food was freshly cooked and fantastic! Not too greasy and spices blended very well. Was definitely on the spicy side but we were prepared for it. The owner also suggested we try the milk shakes/smoothies and I was not disappointed -works great as dessert to some real spicy food! Glad I stopped by and will be back again read more

Loved the service, owner personally came to us, and asked if we liked everything and gave us some sample food item to try so we can decide which item we can order in future. Non veg curries were really good and in vegan we order vegetarian biryani, & it was having potatoes only thing which i didn't like there. And you will get value for money. Service 5/5 Food 4/5 Ambience 3.5/5 Price 4/5 read more

Thoroughly enjoyed the food. We ordered onion kulcha, paneer mattar, bhindi & veg dum biryani . The owner asked us to try the sitaphal milkshake & it was simply awesome. We got to taste some semiya Kheer on the house which was a nice touch. Would highly recommend for the service & food. read more

Love the food here..always a hit whatever we have ordered over past several years..keep up the quality

I have been to this location only a few times and every time the service was excellent and the food was very tasty and fresh. Normally when I order mild food from other Indian restaurants, I end up getting super spicy food, but not at Biryani bowl. I highly recommend chicken tikka masala, chicken noodles, seekh kabob and garlic nan. Yum yum read more

I never visited their Fremont location so this is just about the Dublin location. Or should I say, San Ramon - its literally on the border. The service is good, and the food is good but the logistics needs some rework. We ordered Chicken Dum Biryani, Butter Chicken, Paneer Masala and some Naans and a few Mango Lassis. We were happy with all dishes we ordered. I know it is still new and they are figuring out things. It just feels weird that they seat you and take your order at your table like a regular restaurant but then make you pay on the spot like a fast food place. They should rather let the customer come up to the counter and order and get seated themselves. Or let them pay at the end like a regular restaurant. Also, they have a lot of items on the menu for a place of this capacity. read more

Ordered pickup and was pleasantly surprised to find that Naidu is now the Manager for this new Indian restaurant that has opened recently on Alcosta Blvd...food was ready for pickup and fresh and tasty...to be expected with Naidu in charge read more

I ordered some boneless chicken biryani to-go last night (for a late-night snack). Even have a tip because the service was within 5 minutes. When had it around midnight, it had bones. 1 star. read more

Tried this place out since they had great reviews. I love Indian food and this place has some delicious dishes. I came in here thinking I can eat a horse. I was wrong haha. I order way to much. Do not make the same mistake I did and order 3 orders of naan. It's alot! LoL. I think 1 order of naan is perfect for 2. read more

Biryani Bistro - Garlic, Keema, and original Naan with chicken tikka, sampler platter, and some other dish I forget haha. - Indian Near Me - Dublin, California

I visited this place few days back with my friends , we tried alot of varieties like mutton biryani , chef's special chicken biryani which is at its best taste , it's really spicy which we enjoyed having it , and we also tried few starters which are also chef's special. One of the best place to have a good food In dublin. They are really good at cleanliness and serving. It's a must try restaurant and best in taste read more

I am a fan of their Fremont outlet and have been eating there since at least 10 years. I tried this location twice now and I found that the staff are not at all customer friendly. I could give 0 stars to their customer interaction skills. I recently ordered through Uber eats and included special instructions. Usually, I call the restaurant right after my order is accepted on Uber eats and confirm that they would be able to prepare the entree per my instructions. This time, when I tried doing that, they straight away said they can't prepare it as ordered. The surprising part is that they were able to do the same without any issues just 3 weeks ago when I ordered. When I reached the restaurant to pick up my food, the person who handed over my food RUDELY said that I have to pay extra for special instructions by selecting the corresponding option from their menu. When I showed them that the menu is not structured for me to select the options, so as to pay more, the person was UNAPOLOGETIC. The irony is that despite all this, they charged me more than what was stated when I ordered. While I don't have any problem in paying extra for the entree to be prepared they way I like it, I should at least have the option of selecting it in the menu (say extra sauce $3 or something). The person who spoke to me made it sound like that was not Biryani Bowl's problem. So UNPROFESSIONAL! read more

Nice variety of cuisines. I just love their biryanis and kebabs. I have been to this place several times and have never been disappointed. Today I went with my family I again enjoyed their consistent good food and hospitality. My daughter loved most of the dishes we tried. Try their different naans especially, they are very good. read more

I wish I could give zero stars, absolutely horrible food, both biryanis i ordered were old meat and very tough and smelled disgusting. The customer service was even worse. The worst I have ever seen in my life. I asked for extra sauce and they straight up said no. I said I am willing to pay for it, still a hard no. Food was terrible, stay away do not waste your money!!! read more

We have been going to Biryani Bowl in Dublin for over a year now. Their food is really tasty, and the prices are reasonable. We have tried their Chicken Biryani, Shrimp Biryani and Tandoori platter. They were all very good. We also tasted the Gulab Jamuns today. AGain, very good quality. The staff is friendly, and the place is clean. Overall, an excellent place for tasty Indian meals at reasonable prices. read more

The food here is great, it's halal which I appreciate. I tried a couple of dishes that I haven't before, I recommend the nawabi chicken. It had an excellent flavor, probably from the fresh curry leaves. read more

Wow! Went in expecting average indian food, and walked out fully satisfied. They were busy with both tables and take-out, but made time to wait on every table. Pries were reasonable and food was tremendous. Highly recommended. read more
