I would hands down come back here again. It looks like they might do a buffet and if that's the case I'd love to come back to try more dishes. Service was very friendly and the ambience was nice. Parking was also very easy. What we got: Chicken 65 Biryani - 5* fried chicken in deliciously cooked fried rice with a side of refreshing cucumber yogurt was a hit. Butter chicken (spicy) - I asked for it spicy and they delivered, it was wonderful! The cream based sauce was divine and the chicken tender. The side of jasmine rice was cooked perfectly. Garlic naan - 4.5* I tend to like my naan fluffier, hence the slightly less rating but it was still delicious and worth getting. Onion kulcha - 4.5* this was the kind of fluffy I like, I just wish it was garlic! But once again, still super yummy. read more

This is our Bangla Bazaar owner's restaurant. We tried it and loved everything about it. The decor, the atmosphere, and everything was great. Very clean. Our server was amazing. We tried different dishes and everything was delicious! We tried chole bhatura, Hakka noodles and poori. The fried rice was out of this world! Really the best I had in this county. Definitely give these days a try he will not be disappointed. read more

Unassuming "hole in the wall" with good biryani. Service was relatively quick and the biryani was good. Tried the Mutton Biryani. It was quite salty and the raita could've been more seasoned, but the meat had a good flavor to accompany the rice. Satisfied my biryani craving at the time. Would come again to try their other biryani dishes. read more

Biryani Joint - Mutton Biryani - Indian Near Me - Burtonsville, Maryland

We ordered Spinach Pakoda and it had a iron wire in it and my husband almost swallowed it, when we asked for the manager he did not even came to talk to us and we were told he was busy. Then after telling them couple of times they offered 10% discount and didn't even took the dish out. They din't even had the courtesy to even offer to take the dish out from the bill. Poor Service i must say. No one should ever come to this place to eat food. Thankfully our kid did not eat that. read more

I don't like doing negative reviews/comments since I too am a restaurant owner and I know that bad reviews can affect your business however, this review is on service and maybe they will read it and retrain thier folks. We were a party of 5 early evening, they were not busy at all, only one other table. They put us way in the back with all the stacked chairs and other junk. It took us forever to get a server and when she did come she only gave us 2 menus. Warm water was given to us with no ice and we had to beg for that. Our appetizers came after our meal and my sons never came at all and once she gave us our food we never saw her again and had to hunt another server down for out check AND they had the nerve to charge us a 18% gratuity. read more

I catered Goat Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Goat Telegana, Chicken Curry, Channa and Mix Veg Korma. All the dishes were delicious!!! Chef Ricki was very helpful and made the dishes just as spicy as I had requested. All the guests enjoyed the food. I highly recommend Biryani Joint for your next Indian crave!!!!! read more

Fabulous buffet! Variety of dishes. This plaza is a food Mecca. Good service, too. I recommend this place highly.

Always awesome!!! I've ordered in and also got take out!! Always hot and delicious!! The Butter Chicken is amazing!!! Service is excellent!!! read more

Wow. Just wow. Really easy to overlook in a small strip center with many small ethnic restaurants, but Joint Biryani is sure worth a visit. Diverse, imaginative menu, exceptionally friendly staff and generous portions. Don't be discouraged by an empty dining room; the food is special and the prices fair for the location. read more

Visited the restaurant this past weekend (Saturday) due to a private event that was to take place from 1pm - 4pm. As soon as I entered a few minutes past 1 pm, I noticed guests eating in the restaurant that were NOT part of the guest list. The owner essentially was double dipping and did not apologize for this. Outside of the owner and staff providing absolute horrible service and nasty attitudes, here are other things that took place: 1. Food was not being replenished (this was a buffet lunch with about 80 people that had to constantly wait for food). 2. Rude service staff and customer service in general. We had to ask for every little thing and owner was irritated to do tasks that would be part of the restaurant's job. She also raised her voice at a customer and got an attitude stating 'You paid for food, not service!' 3. Floors were not done and the place looked disgusting and smelled. 4. Noticed a child in the kitchen, which I'm pretty sure is not sanitary or allowed. 5. Silverware and plates ran out so people had no choice but to take their unhygienic used plates back to the buffet line. 6. Lastly, the owner asked patrons to dispose of their used plates, cups and silverware THEMSELVES! When asked for new ones, they brought out ones that looked dirty! 7. Food was not very flavorful or tasty either How this restaurant is open and functional is beyond me. Highly suggest you do not visit! UPDATE 11/8/22 in regards to YOUR original response that YOU deleted What a disguisting and tasteless response, just like your restaurant and staff! Secondly, quite bizarre you are attacking me when I am simply a patron pointing out issues with YOUR business. I had nothing to do with arranging any party at your 'restaurant' and I am NOT the daughter of Aruna as you claim. Thirdly, extremely discriminatory to bring one's religion into your response. What does being Adventist have anything to do with the event that took place?? Lastly, people that choose to dine here can take a look for themselves are how YOU are the one calling customers dumb, yet you claim that someone spoke ill toward you. The only person here guilty of that is you. You should have taken the review as open criticism to bettering your business instead of being argumentative. Best of luck! read more

Amongst the most famous of all Indian dishes, brimming with flavor, scintillating spice, a dynamic texture - BIRYANI! I have sampled various biryanis for my review, and this establishment is fantastic. Salt of the earth mixes with the fire of peppers in a beautiful medley of flavors in each bite. The rice is majestic as a Hyderabadi Nawab and topped with a cooling raita and savory salan. Unique ingredients from the jungles of Andhra & Telangana are used which you will never find in more ordinary and unimpressive institutions. 5/5 STARS - BIRYANI JOINT IS ON POINT! read more

Amazingly delicious food! Great service. I highly recommend this place. The best Indian food I have had in the area.

Fifteen minutes after arrival, I was told that they were closing and I needed to settle my bill. I got a chance to sampleu the buffet but the selection was limited and none of what you'd usually expect. I won't be returning any time soon. read more

I had been to Biryani Joint Indian Cuisine with great expectations, turned out be a "VERY BAD/WORST" experience in every aspect of Food, Service, and Atmosphere. The management is very arrogant to take to any feedback and at the same time She is arguing. 1. Menu Prices and Receipts Prices do not match (EX. Pepper Fry (Goat) in Menu $14.00 and in Bill $21.99,). It is a rip-off. 2. Ordered the Pepper Fry (GOAT) as very bad half cooked. 3. After I had my Talapakam Biryani and Chicken 65, looks like I had food poison (vomiting and loose motions). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND - to BLOCK the "Biryani Joint Indian Cuisine" from your GO-TO list. read more

I have been in the US for 31 years, I ordered chilli Panner and Chicken Hakka Noodles, both were the worst that I have ever had in my entire life. Never in my life going back here again. No taste or spice in Chilli Paneer, completely blend. Hakka noodles tasted like Maggie with added chicken and a few veggies. It was just horrible and waste of hard earned $$$. I should have just made Maggie and enjoyed better. Sad. read more

Gave this new place a try with a carry out order. The boneless chicken biryani was excellent!! One of the best we've had in the DMV and we've tried many places. Chicken Tikka Masala was also good and flavorful. The inside ambiance is just meh but the food is delicious. This will be a regular for us! read more

Poor Service. Service to me was appalling, and several other people who have eaten here when comparing notes have said the same. The spice blends seem like they're Andhra Pradeshi. I love this spice blend but what is unfortunate is they've used these spice blends in curries they don't belong like the the "makhni" curries, and the "tikka" curries. Very poor ability to follow directions. When ordering food In person or online it seems impossible to express to them "mild." There is one exception, twice I ate here with caucasian colleagues, and they had no problem understanding what "make it mild" means. So I have a feeling the scale of spiciness changes depending on what one looks like when ordering, and/or if your names seem south asian. I kid you not - they cut up some kind of fried chicken (seemed like Chicken Strips from KFC) and threw it into the rice for their "Indo-Chinese Fried Rice" dish. I think we've tried this place several times, trying to pick different dishes each time. None of it was exceptional or even good. Just okay. Was hoping this wouldn't be the case as it's on the way home from work, and makes picking up something on the way easy. But, sorry to say cannot return to this establishment ever again. We're done. I wish them all the best. read more

Biryani was good. Not impressed with the curries though. Will def try again. Their garlic naan was 10/10

Very good biryani! First time customer and think the two reviewers previous are crazy. I don't think that restaurant is approved for 70 people. ‍. Great biryanis and highly suggest the chicken lollipops! read more

I like the food quality and the spice levels here. I will definitely recommend following items - Baby corn majestic, Goat Pepper fry, and Chicken boneless vijayawada biryani. read more

I had booked the entire restaurant for a party, and I experienced THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE and most unhygienic conditions I have ever seen. The owner initially seemed alright to work with and I had multiple conversations with her ahead of time to ensure everything would go smoothly. However, she did not hold up her end of the deal at all. We had the entire restaurant booked from 1-4. In fact, we had paid her in full ahead of time. She assured me that there would be no other guests outside of our party throughout that timeframe. However, when we arrived and when our guests began arriving, there were at least 12 other guests there that were not a part of our party. When we asked the owner about this, she raised her voice at us, claiming that there was nothing she could do. These other guests outside of our party remained there for at least an hour and a half into our party. Our guests had to split up their seating because of the other guests that were there. Additionally, the menu was different from what had been established and paid for, the food repeatedly kept running out and guests had to wait and continuously ask for refills (which took at least 15 minutes each time, and every time anything was asked of her, she expressed a negative attitude), and they ran out of plates and cups and replaced them with disposable plates and cups (at one point, the plates and cups she was bringing out looked dirty and unclean). The icing on the cake was that when we asked for her to bring out additional cups (by the way, she was the only one working out in the front for a party of 70+ guests), she very rudely stated that all of the cups were used and on the guest tables and that we needed to help them clean up by putting them in the dirty bins. I was shocked. Never before have I had to help the restaurant staff clean up after eating there. We paid for that service. She repeatedly stated "You're only paying for the food, and not the service. You need to help clean up." We paid a per person cost, which included the food, service and our booking. The restaurant also looked awful. They were apparently in the process of redoing their floors and had removed the old flooring, revealing the ugly subfloor. We had come into the restaurant multiple times over the span of a few weeks prior to the party, and she promised us the floors would be done. On the day of the party, the flooring was NOT completed. At the end of the party, we tried to talk to her about all of the things that had occurred. She raised her voice at us and told us that she provided the best customer service there was. I could not help but laugh. She also repeatedly told me to not raise my voice at her, while she was doing the same to me. She would not let me speak; she was adamant about interrupting me and telling me that she had no fault in anything. She has no idea what customer service means, as it was literally the worst customer service I had experienced. We also had less guests attend than we had anticipated, and she refused to provide a refund for the guests that could not attend. I was embarrassed and horrified to have hosted a party at this restaurant to celebrate something that was supposed to be meaningful for my guests and I. I had initially booked my party here because the previous owner was wonderful to work with and we never had any issues hosting our parties there under his ownership. We didn't think having a party in the same location under a different owner would be this different, but it was horrible. Save your money and DO NOT go to this restaurant. I would rate this 0 stars if this was an option. read more

I got extremely sick after picking up food from this place. The service was ok. Not a big fan. read more

I loved the lamb biryani. So so good. Reasonably spicy, and the tzatziki sauce and chickpea sauce that came with it really completed the food. I will be back here again, I received excellent service as well. read more

Food left my boo sum burnin and had me running to the toilet , was like the smell of hell and the visuals of ww2

Decided to try this place for their weekend buffet. This restaurant use to be called Royal Indian Cuisine but has now been taken over by a different management. Upon entering we were allowed to seat ourselves. The Buffett had 3-4 different types of biryani, one of them was vegetarian biryani. I was disappointed the biryani rice was kind of hard and the flavors over all were bland. They also had chicken curry was lacked flavor, chicken tikka masala was ok but not great. Some other gravy dishes were a little spicier then usual. They had small masala dosas which were tasty. For dessert they had two options one was pineapple kesari and fruit custard. The kesari I liked but my husband said his tasted powdery like it needed to be mixed better. They also had masala chai tea included in the buffet which I liked. Overall, we were not impressed with the buffet because some dishes were very spicy, bland and not great. The customer service was great though. The staff was kind and attentive. I hope they read this review and take the constructive criticism to improve the taste and quality of the food. read more

I had the Hyderabadi Dum Biriyani, which was very flavorful. The chicken was cooked and marinated well. The sauce provided with the biriyani also adds an extra kick to the dish. There's a lot of biriyani varieties so I'm excited to try more! read more

OMG! food was so Yummy. There are so many more dishes I want to try, The Dal Makhani and the Goat Korma was soooo good. Would have been nice if they included a piece of naan with their entrees and if they had Kheer as a dessert and mango lassi as a drink on the menu but I'm happy that the food is DELISH! Ordered thru Grubhub I was torn between Ethopian food or Indian and my first love is Indian I could not help myself, but I will try the other resturants in the area too, but Biryani Joint will be my go to for Indian food. Food was delivered Piping hot, they Wrapped the containers Well so as there was no spillage. read more

this place is awsome. i finally got to do the sundy buffet unbelievable. but food from the regular menu is great as well.
