Highest quality Indian restaurant I've eaten at in all my time eating at Indian restaurants across the country. Dosa 10/10 tangy, thin and crisp Mango lassi 10/10 Palak paneer 10/10 Lamb tikka masala 10/10 Chutneys are all 10/10 Punjabi samosa 10/10 Chicken 65 10/10 Garlic naan 10/10 flaky and packed with flavor, superb texture - I don't love when naan is too thick and slick with oil so this was excellent Everything hit, no misses. If they had aloo chana chaat with yogurt this would be the only Indian restaurant I go to locally. We were originally going to go to Mare e Monte but the line was too long and we all were simultaneously craving Indian cuisine. This happened to be right next door. Ambiance is more like a family restaurant so definitely expect kids and multiple family affairs but the noise levels didn't take us away from how excellent the food was !! If it matters to you they do serve water with water bottles. I personally love a nice iced cup of water esp to help refresh my mouth from the spices. that would be my only ding and that's nitpicking. Service was very good to us! read more

I ca came here with a friend and we dined inside. There is not much to say about the interior, it seemed to still be in the process of being set up. The service was nice, they were pretty attentive and kind. I only ordered the Lamb Biryani, and it was delicious! It comes with two sauces, one is like a creamy yogurt and the other is very flavorful and spicy. The lamb and rice were seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Additionally, the meal was big enough to take home. Overall, I liked this place and I'm interested in trying more of the menu. read more

Biryani Express Indian Cuisine - Lamb biryani - Indian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The food was good, and the restaurant was clean with a nice interior, although it seems like they've been remodeling for months. The owner seemed very friendly and welcoming. The service was a little uncomfortable, though. Our waitress kept trying to get us to order more food and would stand nearby watching us eat Overall, it was a good experience, but the service could feel less pushy. read more

Biryani Express Indian Cuisine - Chicken Biryani - Indian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Biryani Express is a locally owned spot that consistently does Indian comfort food right. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to when the biryani or dosa craving hits. As expected, the biryani is a standout -- fragrant rice, well-balanced spices, and generous portions. Everything tasted fresh and not overly oily, which I really appreciated. The dosa, though, is my personal favorite, served with flavorful chutneys and fresh sambar. The onion kulcha came out hot and fluffy (thanks to another Yelper for the recommendation!) and paired perfectly with the veg curry. Appetizers were crispy and well seasoned. Service was quick and attentive, food arrived hot, and the vibe is casual and welcoming. We met the owner, who was incredibly kind and shared that they'll be remodeling soon with some exciting upgrades planned -- always love seeing local businesses invest back into their space! read more

Biryani Express Indian Cuisine - Chicken 65 Biryani Masala Dosa - Indian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Good place. Would eat there again. It was fast and the portions were good. If you order two dishes, might be too much for one person

The most AMAZING eggplant dish. I've never had anything like it. The lamb Biryani and naan were delicious. The dosa was enormous and filled with flavor bomb potatoes with seasoning throughout, really giving them texture. Everything was flavorful. The serving sizes were huge. The service was great. The ambiance and Everyone in there is warm and inviting. Our server took the time to explain each dish including the culture around it. I can see why they were so busy while we were there. I don't know what authentic Indian food is, but I know this sure looked like what Anthony Bourdain ate and described on the show I watched. read more

Solid biryani spot. Had the butter chicken biryani, chicken tikki masala biryani, butter chicken, and spicy chicken biryani. Everything tasted good and I appreciated the sauces that came with the biryani. Even the mild did have a little kick to it. Service was good. Ambiance was casual. Would come again for biryani. read more

Biryani Express Indian Cuisine - Yummiest dosa - Indian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I came here with an Indian friend truly excited to try it out. We ordered the pani puri to start with, the chutney or pani is a diluted generic chutney used as a condiment so disappointing! I got the chicken tikka kebab that came on a drizzling hot plate. It is a huge portion and I give them credit it is very well done and delicious My friend ordered some sort of biryani nothing truly special a pile of rice even her as an Indian was very disappointed The ambiance doesn't really feel exactly like an authentic Indian restaurant more like a cafeteria style The service was efficient prompt and the waitress was very kind and polite. I may return to sample other dishes not anytime soon though. The name of the place got me confused with the other restaurant in the next shopping center biryani pot which is absolutely delicious! read more

Walked in and was hoping to sit down to eat but was told the staying area was closed. Although there was still customers acting and ordering. But was able to order to go. Dat down and waited for our food. Took about 10 minutes reasonable time for fresh food here I'd assume. Didn't mind it. Got my food went home to eat it. I ordered the chicken tiki masala and butter and garlic naan. My food was delicious. I will definitely come back for this food again and recommend it. read more

The service is friendly and the restaurant has adequate seating. The bathroom and restaurant were clean with subtle decorations. It is definitely popular and has a large takeout presence. We were a party of five and ordered many dishes so we could try a lot of different items. We had the lamb Tikka dosa, chili fish, paneer Tikka, chicken Tikka, goat biryani, sag paneer, garlic naan, garlic and cheese naan, butter naan, samosas and a veggie marsala. I think that is everything. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and the portions are generous. One this is they forgot one of our entrees and when it came out they did not make it with the level of spice requested. It was supposed to be very spicy but it came out with no spice. read more

Saw their instagram post so decided to give it a try. Overall it was a very good meal and experience. The waitstaff was friendly and prompt. However, because they do soooo much take out business, the kitchen was a little backed up for dining in customers. When the food did arrive it was delicious!! Will definitely be going back soon. read more

I ordered the 65 chicken biryani with medium spice and garlic naan. Friendly service and in a small strip mall on Huebner road. I had wanted to try this place for some time as I love biryani. The 65 biryani was $14.99 and garlic naan was $2.99. But is enough for 2 people. The biryani and garlic naan were great! Highly recommend - honestly I could have handled a bit more spice/heat but that is all personal preference. read more

We got takeout from this place three times now and each time we had a different experience. Second time we got what we ordered and food tasted good. This time, not really. Even the dish looked different. Ambiance is fine but we did not sit and eat. Service was fine. read more

There is nothing mid about this place. You can taste the effort put into the dishes. This is the spot!

Delicious Excellent service and food. I will be returning soon. Ambiance is pleasant.

Absolutely recommend these guys!!! Food was amazing- a mix of rich cultural foods and excellent service. I really enjoyed my meal as well. read more

This Indian Restaurant is our top favorite when it comes to curry! It is a small place but usually customers order to go. They have few tables inside and no outside sitting. When you enter the restaurant it looks neat and very simple. Customer service is always enough nothing extra. The menu helps you understand what you are ordering, have pictures and defined description. We usually get Garlic and Plain Naan, Samosa (which is really good), Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Butter Curry and they have free water and rice comes with it. Be careful with the spice as they really give you the real indian spice kick unlike with other places we've been to. The price is also just enough on what you are getting. read more

this was only my third time here and once again the food was amazing. But beyond the food was their service. As soon as we walked in we were greeted, they helped make recommendation, and we were served quick. while they are in the middle of renovations you can already see what kind of place they're wanting to become. While it is already cozy, I can only imagine what is to come read more

This place adds a $10 fee to your bill if you pay with a credit card. That should be ILLEGAL.

Biryani Express never disappoints! I love the taste of the food here--flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked every time. Definitely one of my favorite places for biryani. read more

Delicious Indian food, great service, clean and they stay late and that's a plus in San Antonio. Thank you read more

I made the mistake of mixing this place up with a neighboring Indian restaurant where we normally order. We always order delivery and so I had never actually been to the location. I ordered a pickup order from here online. The dishes from here were good, but not quite as flavorful as we are accustomed to. The naan was particularly odd.... Very thin, almost tortilla like and incredibly greasy and soggy. Not very good. I would recommend looking into the neighboring Indian restaurant over this place... read more

This restaurant helped me when I stumbled in on a late New Year's Eve day and fulfilled an order after hours. I am eternally grateful for this. I left the restaurant with a bag of food they had left over after ending the day 10 min beforehand. They said, 'This is all we have left to serve you," and they only asked for a review in return. Thank you for being amazing and kind and serving some awesome food!-V read more

Small unassuming Indian restaurant in a strip mall. Only about 4 tables inside but was that to go shelf stacked! Constant people in and out so it has to be good. And it was. We ordered for pick up and got the Goat curry, Samosas, chicken tandoori meat, and garlic naan/paratha breads. Everything was excellent. I'm not super familiar with Indian food but really enjoying this style. The goat was very tender and had a lot going on with the spices. Not spicy at all just savory. Can't wait to try some more menu items. read more

Indian food was amazing - very authentic, big portioned and delicious taste! Highly recommend visiting if you're craving Indian food. Get the mango Lassi drink as well, so sweet and ties it all together. Lastly, get the gulab jammun as a sweet treat! read more

I took my wife and 2 grown daughters here for the first time. The food was great and the service was awesome as well. It was more good than the 4 of us could eat. The music was a little loud, but we could still talk to each other. We highly recommend this Indian restaurant. read more

Wow, the tikka masala is insanely good. I picked up take out and the food was ready quickly and it was still hot and fresh when I made it home. The samosas are delicious as well, and the garlic nan was to die for. HIGHLY recommend! read more

100%, delicious! I ordered from here over the phone for pick up 20 mins later - it was in my hands and TRUST ME, it was worth the wait!!! Dining in is an option, very small area to dine in. The location seems fairly new and from what I saw in the dining area - CLEAN. I ordered: Chicken 65 Bryanni AND IT WAS TO DIE FOR - EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THIS! - beware it's spicy (and I asked for LOW spice) - DELICIOUS Chicken Tikka and it was "okay" - not my favorite but I just don't like it - my husband ordered it and he did enjoy it. Samosas - 100%, spicy and flavorful! I only got the 3 to one order and should have gotten 2 orders because they were SO GOOD & CRISPY!!! My photos do not do these dishes justice but trust me, DROP EVERYTHING AND try this place! I will definitely be back! I want to try the curry next! read more

Duhlicious! Get the mango drink to quench the oral fire of the 'mild to medium' spice level. I would give you a pic, but we tore into it too quickly. read more

Got this via door dash. I had the chicken 65 biryani. It was a large portion--enough for two. I also had the garlic naan, which was delicious. read more

Still amazing. Moved next door and all the non veg dishes are over the top amazing and good. Naan mostly is great here but now what got me so excited cause never understood why they didn't have it before is they finally got vada, dosa and idly!! Love that!! I'll be here now more often cause of the dosa and idly! Thank you for finally adding this on menu. Service is friendly and ambiance is spacious. But yes the naan complaints is real. Before the naan was soft and not that oily but they changed it and now it's thin and oily. People don't want thin. How can you get gravy? Go back to the soft thicker kind and lay off please read more
