Maybe closer to a 4.5 because we really enjoyed the Gobi Manchurian. It was the crunchiest and most flavorful we have found on the Eastside. The gongura biryani was cooked well and a very good size portion for the price. It wasn't too spicy and the raita and lime added to the dish. The service was pretty quick and everything came in to go containers so whatever we didn't finish could easily be taken back with us. The tables were a little dirty from the previous customers but we just wiped them ourselves. There's some Bollywood music videos playing on the background to watch while you're waiting. read more

Biryani Bowl - Gobi Manchurian and Gongoora Paneer Biryani - Indian Near Me - Redmond, Washington

It's hard to find mysore bonda in general, so I was pleasantly surprised to know that this place had it. The interior could use some updating, but the lady at the front was kind and the food was really hot. I got the chicken 65 biryani and the mysore bonda and personally enjoyed it. I tried the dum biryani in the past, but found it a bit underwhelming. Chicken 65 is the way to go in my opinion. Definitely give this place a try if you're looking to support a local family owned Indian restaurant. read more

Waited more than 40 minutes for two entrees. In the meantime, several groups that came after us and ordered were served. I do not know if it was because we ordered takeout. The two entrees were curries which should not have taken so long. read more

Did a DoorDash delivery for Biryani Bowl and got a Paneer 65 biryani! Off the bat, the portions are huge and very generous! We split one order of biryani among three people and there was plenty to go around. The paneer portion size was nice and had a great crispy layer. The only reason for 4 stars is that the biryani felt a little dry for my liking- we had to add some curry/ sauce on top to make it fully come together. But would certainly order from here again read more

Stopped in after birding at Marymoor. Decor is utilitarian, comfy. You review menu and order at the counter. I got the goat biryani which was excellent. The portion size is huge, one order easily feeding two people. I could only finish little over a third I think. I also got a buttered roti, very good. I will definitely return to this place. read more

Food is sweet, not very tasty. Biryani is bland. Gobi Manchuria is very sweet. Not going there again.

The place is very simple and not very well put together in a poor location. That being said, the food is pretty good although not very complicated. I mean it's kind of like teriyaki chicken and rice. It's just chicken and rice. I feel like they may have raised the prices a bit since they opened but overall the food is pretty tasty and the prices are fairly reasonable given the location. when I'm in the mood for some basic chicken and rice, this place is always a consideration. read more

we were not greeted it was more of self serve while the host stood around. not asked about spice level it was like a five. rice was disgusting and the paneer was hard and crispy. the other rice had hard chunks in it and we both only had 4 forks full before just leaving. was like eating day old or reheated food. definitely would not recommend or go back. also warning. sign says no refund or exchange. read more

Ordered takeout from Doordash! Really great variety in menu. Tried the Paneer 65 Biryani ($16.99) and Gongura goat curry (Bone-In). ($16.99). Awesome portions and wonderfully spiced. Rice was perfectly cooked. Delicious, SWEET mango lassi ($4.99). Ready fairly quickly. Polite staff. Neatly packaged. read more

Don't order chicken 65 and expect to get chicken 65, is what I have learned after visiting here.

Ordered a takeout from this restaurant and i must say I am quite impressed!! After reading some reviews about chicken pieces in veg biryani, I was very skeptical about ordering from here. I am so glad I decided to risk it and ordered because this place is going to be one of my favorite haunts! We got the chili gobhi for appetizer. We chose spice level as medium and it was phenomenal! Not just the adults, even the kids loved it! Garlic naan and paneer butter masala was spot on. The kids loved that too. Tandoori roti could have been better. It was fully cooked but a little dense. I like them light. The paneer kadai was a little too tomatoee, didn't have the ginger and garlic like it's supposed to. The highlight was the egg biryani!! Medium spice level was just right. The gravy that came with it was spicy! We ordered the family pack and it even came with a dessert! Overall, a great Indian restaurant in the neighborhood. Can't wait to try the cut mirchi! read more

We went to Biryani Bowl for dinner but ended up not eating there. The ambience was very uninviting. The floor, tables, booths all were sticky and oily. The people over the counter looked tired and unclean. We could not believe it could be a clean place to dine in or pick up. Sorry not going in again unless they clean up! read more

Ordered a bunch of things from here last evening to be delivered. Overall the food was pretty good with some hits and misses. The Great: Mysore Bonda - Easily some of the best around and very authentic. It was just perfect and a slightly larger version of what you'd truly get back home. You could easily devour the whole plate here. They surprisingly held their slight crisp and texture even after a 45 minute car ride. The Good: Paneer 65 Biryani - It was a good flavorful rice dish with nicely done paneer layered on top. The salan definitely helped elevate this one. The Okay-ish: Cut Mirchi - The chili itself was nicely seasoned and the chutney with it was perfect. My biggest qualm here is how thick and dense the batter was. A lighter and more airy batter with some crisp to it would have been nice. The portion size is really good but just a little lightness to the batter will go a long way. Goat Dum Biryani - Extremely flavorful with authentic spices, large portion size, hella spicy (loved this but be careful if you can't tolerate spice). My biggest issue with this was the near absence of any goat meat in the large family pack. There were tons of bones (which were badly cut to ended up with sharp edges and splinters) that added a lot of flavor to the biryani but very very little meat. And whatever little was there was extremely overcooked and dry. Veg 65 Biryani - The main issue with getting this for takeout is that while the flavors are near identical to the paneer biryani, the veggies here lose all their crispness and become limp and soggy by the time you actually eat them. So the potatoes, cauliflower, paneer and baby corn end up losing the textural contrast that is meant to add a lot to the dish. Also, a few veggies in the rice itself, even something simple like some carrots and peas will add a lot to this dish. Overall the food is not bad, but it's not outstanding either. It feels like it's just on the precipice of being excellent but it's the little things that are really getting in the way. Might give them a try again some day but probably won't be rushing back again this week with more friends. read more

This is the best Indian food in the greater Seattle area that I have had! (I've lived here almost 4 years now) It's also the best Biriyani I've had in America (I grew up in Sindhi, Pakistan, which is known for great Biryani). I would (and do) highly recommend this place to anyone looking for Indian food. Note, if you ask for spice, they'll deliver! It won't just be pure heat though, it's immensely full and flavorful spice. My favorite is chicken 65 Biriyani. My wife's favorite is Paneer Butter Masala. But we have yet to find any of them be mediocre or bad! They are all just so good! read more

Very bad food . I ordered chicken 65 Biriyani and chicken pieces are so dry and overcooked . It's hard to eat . Aliso chicken curry and butter chicken . Although gravy is good , chicken pieces are cut in cube pieces and very dry and overcooked read more

Biryani Bowl was a random find on DoorDash for us, and we were pleasantly surprised on how yummy and appropriately spicy the biryanis were. We ordered the Chicken 65 Biryani Boneless and Chicken Dum Biryani, both were 10/10 would highly recommend getting both! We ordered take out and the quantity was ample, more than other places we have gotten biryani from around the Puget Sound area. I read other reviews were people found the Chicken Dum Biryani did not have enough spices or masala in it, so I chose the "Spicy" version and did not choose the Mild or Medium spicy options, and I found it was super flavorful and spicy enough. We also ordered the Stuffed Mirchi, but didn't expect it to be so spicy, we weren't able to have more than a bite, haha! We might have found our new favorite biryani place in the area! read more

Good food fast service, reasonable price and convenient location. Have tried chicken 65 biryani so far

The flavor on the chicken biryani was on point, the texture was like microwaved dino-nuggets.

Their Goat Dum briyani is packed with flavors and came in a huge portion. Do becareful if you order the goat fry briyani as it does consist some small bones. I love the tender goat pieces in the briyani and the hard boiled egg is just perfect! It can get pretty spicy so if you can't handle heat well like me best to request for mild on the heat level. The cashier guy seems to be the son of the family, he is always friendly and very efficient in his job! I would like to support this family business whenever possible! read more

I have to be honest I wasn't expecting much but the food is A+. I had paneer 65 biryani and a mango lassi for lunch while the kids were at Mathnasium. It was delicious. Large portion. The rice was fluffy and perfect. The paneer 65 was savory and spicy. I used the raita. The mango lassi was creamy. I will be back. read more

Mutton dum biryani is a good one to try, a definite recommendation. We also tried a dessert named, balushahi, I think this is the closest to the one we get in India. This place has limited seating and people prefer to get a Togo. Parking is limited too so be aware of it. read more

Got the chicken 65 biryani. The food was great and had decent quantity. The chicken was soft too!

Great biriyani. We ordered the Chicken Dum Biriyani and it was quite tasty. Spicy, but in a good way. The mango lassi complemented the spiciness well. Also they were super busy and had a long line of pickups on Saturday evening. Priced really reasonably as 1 regular Biriyani fed our very hungry family of 2+ kid read more

Very reliable Indian food! This is our go-to when we are hungry and in cravings mode for Indian flavors. They are always super fast and our order has been correct via delivery every time. My best friend likes to order the chicken Tikka masala and I order the Malai kofta or saag paneer typically. Their flavors are full of umami and just hit the spot. Their naan is also good and manages to arrive hot every time. Just thinking about their food makes my mouth water. I guess it is almost dinner time...it's looking like Indian food tonight! read more

Their biriyanis are super good. Wish they would use reusable dishes however for dine-in.

My husband and I were actually looking for a burrito when we drove past this out of the way gem. It was late afternoon so not very busy. We ordered samosas and their mirchi bajji while we waited for the rest of our takeout order and we're immediately pleasantly surprised. The samosas were very flavorful and the mirchi bajji was like nothing we had ever eaten. It was a chili surrounded by a soft battered crust then split open and filled with a spicy onion mixture. It was so spicy I only had one bite but my husband absolutely loved it! When we got home, I enjoyed my veggie korma-it was a little more tomato-like and less creamy than I prefer but I really liked it still-had a rich flavor with a bit of sweetness. The garlic naan was delicious with it. My husband's chicken Resmi kabob was tender and flavorful, served on a nice bed of cabbage and veggies. Our food took a bit of time but but was worth the wait. We're in this neighborhood practically every weekend so we will for sure go back! read more

if I could leave 0 stars I would I came to buy food and was being demanded to leave by the workers and the owner while I was parked outside waiting for my 50$ order I placed! when I started trying to eat after a long day of work in my car they kept coming up to my car and kept harassing me trying to force me to eat inside or to leave when they came again they pounded on my car window being really rude so I just left really disappointed with how this place treats you I will never come again also pick up your trash I left you rude people!!!! update...

First time ordering from here for takeaway to look for alternatives to our usual Kabab House (formerly in Kirkland) chicken biryani. Manager who took my order was patient in explaining some of the menu choices. We ordered the family sized Chicken 65 Biryani. It didn't disappoint in terms of flavor and size. He also even added in a small dessert for us to try which was very kind. My son enjoyed it and loved the chicken pieces, savoring each one. We will definitely come back and try other menu items shortly to see if it complements the wonderful flavors of the chicken biryani we just had. read more

I saw really good reviews about this restaurant and decided to order some biryani after watching Mariners game. Biryani is just rice mixed with chicken no masala, marinated ingredients or fried onion! Chicken should be succulent but it's really dry. I ordered spicy biryani but it wasn't spicy at all. If you're going to give same spice level to all people why give an option for spicy? Only thing saved my order was samosa! Samosa was really good! But I expected Biryani to be better than Samosa. I don't think I will be ordering again! read more
