    The receipt indicates they knew all three dishes were meant to be made MILD. None of them were!
    Navin K.

    Order from here ONLY if you like spicy food with lots of chilis in it. The easiest way to get a low rating is to ignore your customers needs. And Biryani Bistro - Dublin certainly earned their two star rating. Which is a shame, because I really wanted to like this local establishment. I specifically asked for food to be made mild. And repeated it two more times to make sure it sunk in. The receipt indicates they did. Unfortunately, they ignored my request. The daal makhani was ridiculously spicy with an over abundance of red chili. The saag paneer was only a notch below that. Which meant neither my wife nor our kids could eat these two dishes. The butter chicken was tolerable (though closer to medium spicy than mild) and they ended up eating mostly this, with lots of naan. Won't be coming back.

    Chicken Dum Biryani
    Uuganzaya M.

    First time ordered from here using DoorDash and bit disappointed. I ordered chicken Biryani and Lamb curry. Since there is Chicken and Lamb in the name you would think I will receive some meat in the dishes. But no, barely anything. Lamb curry had 3-4 chunks of bone, barely any meat. Taste was good but without any meat just bone it was very disappointing.

    Paneer Biryani Family Pack
    Rudrasis C.

    We have ordered the paneer biriyani (family pack) and Gobi 65! Overall I am amazed by the quantity. The family pack comes with pakoras, Gulab Jamun in addition to raita. The serving is enough for a family of 3-4. Now coming to the taste, the biriyani is Hyderabad style, gravy soaked rice on the bottom and white rice on the top. Didn't like the raw onion in biriyani but other than that, overall I like the biriyani. The paneer tastes and looks like tofu, not a paneer. But this happened to me many times from "Indian" restaurants so I just let it slide. Overall taste wise the biriyani is a 4 out of 5. I chose mild and we got mild as well. Gobi 65 is a bit dry for my taste but there are plenty of cauliflower seasoned and cooked perfectly. Overall taste wise both of the dishes are good. The pakoras on the side are very crunchy, so an unexpected surprise! I would highly recommend this place and looking forward to trying other biriyanis as well. I took off one star due to the disguise of tofu as paneer!

    Pepper Chicken
    Vaibhav R.

    One dish that truly stood out and has now become my absolute favorite is their pepper chicken. Perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, the chicken was tender and juicy, complemented by a delightful peppery kick that was just the right amount of spice. Each bite was a taste sensation that left me wanting more. Telugu vallu andaru, idhi mana side dhaba lo dorike pepper chicken style, crispness and spiciness yummy.

    Dosa and chutney
    Realtor Richa P.

    I have yet to try their biryani. But recently we visited boba bliss and saw the live stall. We ate pani puri and dosa. Every thing tasted so yummy. We would definitely go back for dosa and chaat. Update : I ordered take out. We were very disappointed with the overly sweet Malai Koft dish. It felt like a sweet dish instead of a savory main dish. Naans were bit too thick and hard to eat. There Biryani is really yummy. And family size gets you a good quantity.

    Another day, another Desi restaurant checked off. Since we had Vegetarian the previous time, we opted for Biriyani during our return leg of our journey. This place was in close proximity to the hotel we were residing at. It is a laid back authentic Andhra tasting Biriyani restaurant. Mrs. and I loved our biriyani from here. We ordered a Chicken and Goat Dum biriyani. Salan and Raitha paired superbly with the dishes. Ian had a Garlic and a Butter naan. He kept raving about how crunchy and tasty his naans were. *Laughs* Check this restaurant for authentic biriyani guys!

    Family pack chicken biriyani
    Neeta D.

    Tried this restaurant for the first time, and came across the reviews on family pack that comes with appetizers and desserts. Took a to go, and was quite impressed with the quantity. The appetizers of course is not sufficient for a family, it was about 7-8 pieces of chicken Manchurian, and I wasn't expecting too much. Same with the dessert, you could expect 1 gulab jamun. Now back to the biriyani. .while I liked the flavor of the Hyderabadi biriyanis, the pieces in this one were extraordinarily big. There were about 6-7 REALLY big pieces, so definitely felt like chicken was more than the rice, and that's not really the way I prefer it. I'll probably try boneless chicken next time if that's available. Overall, value for money yes, tasty yes, worth a try - definitely.

    Gulab Jamun

    If you like spice and carbs, then Biryani Bowl is definitely the place for you! This restaurant occupies a small shop just a few doors down from Boba Bliss. I came here for some takeout on 09/05/2021. There were no dine-in customers when I walked in at around 5:30 pm. The interior was decently clean but a bit cluttered. None of the staff had gloves on. The cashier had a mask on, but it wasn't worn properly. The same was observed with the cooks working in the kitchen. That was a concern to me because of all the virus variants that are circulating. It took a few minutes before I was greeted by the cashier. Since I had a chance to check out their menu while I was waiting, I quickly ordered the following: - Fish Biryani Family Pack ($26.92) - Chicken Tikka ($11.91) - Chicken Tikka Masala ($10.41) - Palak Paneer ($4.94) - Butter Naan x2 ($2.42 each) The fish biryani was garnished with halved eggs, lime wedges, and fried shallots and served with raita (yogurt sauce) and a gravy on the side. The portion was very generous (enough for four people). The fish was spicy and delicious. The raita was a great accompaniment to offset the heat from the spices. The chicken tikka was flavorful but dry. Judging from the amount juice that came out from the meat, the dryness was likely caused by the fact that I live 20 minutes away and the meat dried out during the drive home. The chicken tikka masala was good. The chicken was tender and the masala was robust with a hint of sweetness. The butter naans were the perfect vessels to mop up each drop of sauce. The palak paneer, made with spinach and Indian cheese, was so-so. Nothing too special. Service was good. Everything was neatly packed and ready at the time promised. The cashier was a friendly fellow. He even gave me a few items on the house (soda, small container of chili chicken, and gulab jamun). Overall, I liked the food but their COVID-19 safety practices were concerning. As such, I think for this experience a 3-star rating is a fair assessment. BONUS MATERIAL: - Major credit cards accepted.

Was the perfect size too, didn't feel sluggish or too full after eating which sometimes happens when I eat at places that have massive ones. I also tried Andhra Garelu for the first time and it's now my new favorite Indian food. For those who aren't familiar, the best way I can describe it is a savory doughnut without any frosting or toppings (taste a lot like potato/french fries to me, but staff told me it was made with flour not potatoes). It was the perfect thing to dip in the sauces I had leftover from my dosa. The staff here are also incredibly friendly and I enjoy coming here to catch up with them.

The food was good overall, with a solid variety: chicken, mutton, and fish curries, biryani, several vegetarian dishes, mango lassi, sweets, curd rice, puri, vada, noodles, and hot tea. My personal favorites were the carrot halwa, mango lassi, and biryani. The only downside was how they handled the naan. Instead of having it at the buffet, they serve it directly to the table. With the rush, it was really hard to get any, we waited almost 20 minutes for our first (and only) basket. It would be much better if naan were available at the buffet or if they circulated it more frequently. On the plus side, they were quick about clearing plates. Prices are reasonable: $24.99 for adults and $11.99 for kids, with kids under five eating free.
