One label written (fruit) and there was only one fruit orange sliced up. Many items looked dry and dark colored. As a home cook expert I know when you prepare a dish it gives fresh look but the non veg items didn't look or tasted fresh. Tandoori chicken dish was empty. Few other dishes tray were also empty. They serve lunch buffet till 3 pm and by 2 pm many trays were empty or very little food. Overall no taste at all. I don't recommend this place and I definitely will not go back again.

It was one of those weeks. The wallet is getting thinner, the bills are warming up in the corner,…read moreand payday is taking its sweet time getting here. Add in the home repairs, the endless chores, and the nonstop kid schedule, and by the end of it all, I was running on fumes. Sometimes, a person just needs a small break from the daily grind. A little reward. A moment to say, "You know what, I deserve this." And on this particular day, that reward came in the form of one very specific craving: a deeply aromatic, mouthwatering, spice-loaded plate of biryani. I had been to Biryani Junction before, though it had been many months. What pulled me back was not just hunger. It was memory. Specifically, the memory of that rich aroma that stays with you long after the meal is over. This time, I ordered the Chicken Ghee Roast Biryani. I originally butchered the name in my head and called it something else, so my apologies to the menu and to the biryani gods. But now that we have the official name right, let me say this properly. This dish was excellent. My immediate reaction? Mouthwatering, intensely aromatic, and stomach-growling good. Honestly, just typing this review is making me hungry all over again, which is unfortunate because I am supposedly on a diet. We do not need to discuss how that is going. The ghee roast chicken was wonderfully fragrant. The moment I got home, I opened that takeout container faster than I open a can of soda. The aroma rushed out and filled the house so quickly I am fairly certain it woke my lazy dog from his sunbathing session in the corner. And the rice. The rice deserved its own round of applause. Light, fluffy, and beautifully coated with flavor. The kind of fluffy that makes you want to pause for a second and just appreciate what is happening. Then came the first spoonful, and that was pretty much the end of self-control. Once it hit the taste buds, it was game over. Spoon after spoon, the dish just kept pulling me back in. Now, a friendly warning for anyone who and spice are not on speaking terms: this biryani has real heat. Not playful heat. Not a gentle little tap on the shoulder. This one bites back, and it bites back with confidence. I grew up in Southeast Asia, so my palate has been trained on spice from a very young age. You could say my taste buds were raised in a reasonably spicy neighborhood. Even then, this one still had a solid kick. So no, this may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly okay. That is actually part of what makes places like this interesting. It is always a bit of a balancing act for ethnic food businesses. Do they stay true to the original flavor profile, including the spice and intensity, or do they tone it down to appeal to a wider crowd? Personally, I appreciate that Biryani Junction leans into authenticity. I would much rather experience the dish as it is meant to be, even if that same authenticity comes back later in the day to remind me who is really in charge. So yes, if you are feeling adventurous, I say go for it. You only live once, and sometimes the spice only attacks once too. If your taste buds can handle a little drama, this is absolutely worth a visit. Thank you, Biryani Junction. I truly appreciate the aroma, the flavor, and the originality.

Best place if you're craving fluffy idli, crispy vada, and "oh my gosh" the sambar. Like, the kind…read moreof sambar that makes you pause mid-bite and go, "Wait... why don't I drink this daily?" (It's basically a warm, spiced vegetarian broth packed with vegetables and just enough kick to keep things interesting.) My wife and I honestly treat the sambar like the main event. The idli and vada are the VIPs too, of course but that sambar? That's the headliner. Here's my very scientific, totally-not-a-food-critic standard: Idli needs to be fluffy, warm, and basically built for soaking up sambar like a sponge that chose happiness. Vada needs to be crispy on the outside, soft on the inside... not hard and tragic like a 3-day-old bagel (we're here for comfort, not dental work). Add the coconut chutney and whatever other sides come with it and suddenly I'm asking myself: is it lunchtime again yet? And it's not just the South Indian staples. They also sell snacks like murukku and ribbon pakoda (and more). These are childhood favorites for me from back home in Malaysia--and let me tell you, it's not easy to find crunchy snacks here that taste fresh and flavorful without that "oil has been reused since 1997" vibe. If you know, you know. Also: if you're someone who gets intimidated by menus with unfamiliar names, don't worry. The staff is warm and friendly, and they're happy to explain what things are. It makes trying new food feel less like a pop quiz and more like a fun little adventure with your family. Bottom line: you only live once, try something new. Best case? You find a new favorite. Worst case? It's not your cup of tea and you move on (with your dignity intact). And no, I don't have food pictures... because I never remember until the plate is already gone. Every. Single. Time.

A bit busy on a weekend mid morning, but service was quick and a lot of it was people who ordered in advance to pick up. So if you have large quantity order, this may be the way to go. For our visit we got the: Idly Vada combo which comes with their vada and idly, as well as some coffee and what looks like thick lentil soup and corn salad? Apologies I don't quite recall what we got, but I did enjoy the vada (crispy deep fried lentil doughnuts). Nice delicious crisp texture, a bit moist, and I love lentils in general. Went great with all the sauces/stews for dipping. The idly is a savory soft fluffy steamed cake also made for dipping. Think of a fluffier more doughy bao that's rippable if that makes sense. Lots of variety of tangy, spice rich, full body flavored stews and sauces, making the diversity in each bite with each dip quite fun. I think one of the flavor profiles was a bit sour so I wasn't a fan of that, but oh well. I'd argue that we might have needed more carbs to use all of the dipping items we had. Overall, decent brunch and a cuisine that I'm don't eat as often.

DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE…read more We ordered Masala Dosa and Mini Idly in the early afternoon, and the food tasted old and stale.

I'm currently consulting a doctor, and if food poisoning is confirmed, I will be reporting this to the health department.

Brand new South Indian non-vegetarian restaurant in Irvington, Fremont in the same plaza as Apni…read moreMandi, Lovely sweets, etc. It's a small clean place with about 3 or 4 tables for indoor dining. Takeout seems like a better option. They don't have paper menus or a menu card displayed anywhere in the store, hence couldn't take a picture. They have two screens where you can scroll through the menu, place your order, pay, and get your receipt sent to your phone. It might cause a bottleneck in the future if the place is busy and each customer takes a lot of time placing their order. But, it was a seamless ordering experience for us today. We just ordered two appetizers - apollo fish and kodi vepudu which is a spiced, pan-fried chicken preparation. They were both very good, the chicken was especially tasty. At $8 per appetizer, the portions were generous. I noticed their extremely competitive pricing on biriyanis and curries too; those are next on my list to try out. Do give this new neighborhood restaurant a try if you're in the Fremont area.
