Chicken korma: -medium spicy, it was okay ... Chicken biryani: -the place is called biryani pot so why not have biryani right? The chicken was "fall off the bone tender" topped with rice, pictures below. Spicy sauce on side too. Wish I had a little more white rice to balance out the flavor. I didn't really even have to use any excessive force to separate the chicken (you know because I have muscles! =P ) Basil Garlic nhan: -taste like puréed garlic mixed with possibly butter, and a tad of olive oil & basil. Not bad, but want to try more nhan I love that stuff! Cheese nhan: reminds me of a cheese quesadilla, I love those! You'll enjoy it if you love cheese! I wasn't that thrilled to come here per some previous bad reviews. Parking isn't that great due to limited parking in the front. Supposedly more parking in the rear. Located close to nail shop and not too far down from miyako. Limited seating, maybe like 6-8 tables total. Friendly and attentive staff, they'll keep your water full! read more

Chicken 65 biryani is amazing! Their service is great and there is always tons of diners

I ordered the Lamb biryani for takeout and was very disappointed about the dish . They give you a large portion of rice with a few chewy lamb bones with minimal meat! This is a rip off and I do not recommend this dish to anyone! Bad value for your dollar! read more

Biryani Pot - Lunch special comes with soup , but see the pic it's been used not cleaned. - Indian Near Me - Houston, Texas

LOVE! The food! This place has been my favorite Indian place since I discovered it back when I lived in westchase in 2013. Still go back now and then as I now live in Spring TX, but yesterday I realized is totally worth the drive! Other Indian places always make me miss this place. As I finally made it there yesterday I realized totally worth the drive. The Naan is incredible! Everything taste great! read more

I had high expectations as this place is considered by many to have the best Biryani. Seeing as the owners seem to be from Andhara, I thought things would be spicy. But that wasn't my experience. Chicken 65 - seemed to be quickly reheated chicken pieces coated in a thick tangy masala. Pepper goat sukka fry - ok but had no real heat despite the name or the request to make it hot. Paratha - good Goat dum biryani - looked excellent with beautiful color. Obviously this was made very well in a traditional manner. But the flavor profile and spice was not the way I prefer it. I can easily see why many others love it, though. It's just a matter of personal preference. read more

This place is a local favorite with branches all over the world and famous for the Hyderabadi Indian food. By looks it doesn't come out to be very special in the small shopping complex by CVS but don't get food by it. They have some delicious Biryani (rice) varieties along with a wide range of North Indian food choices. I highly recommend getting their set lunches. They are good wholesome meals and you get to eat a varied appetizers and entries at one small price. read more

Goat Biryani is one of the better ones you can get from a restaurant, I know because my folks are from Hyderabad, India where it's the number one known dish for centuries, and I have had some amazing versions at private homes and five star hotels in India. Unlike most Indo-Pakistani restaurants it isn't burning your mouth upon every bite. read more

I only gave the menu and meal three stars. There are some girls who lack fundamental customer service abilities and have an attitude. Even though the closing time is 1.5 hours away, they rush. Additionally, people smoke just outside the door, so if you're a non-smoker and are seated close to the entrance, it might make you uncomfortable. Additionally, I find it bothersome and occasionally noisy when individuals just stand in groups next to the cash register and chat incessantly. The cleaning boys are constantly rushing about and won't let you complete your meal. I do suggest this restaurant, but the staff members require training. read more

What a terrible place. Im so disgusted at the terrible customer service. So what can i say... because its Coronavirus pandemic and all takeout, we asked the restaurant to split our order into separate containers when we called in and they kindly agreed. When me and my friend arrived to pick it up they clearly asked for credit card. OMG, the order wasnt split. On top of that, when we requested for them to split it now nobody speaks english. This is some real punjabi BS. Definitely a place i will never patronize again read more

Biryani pot is a solid place for good Indian food. The customer service isn't always the best, but who cares when the food is so delish. The Chicken 65, buttered chicken, naan, and chicken biryani are all amazing. My friend said stay away from the goat and stick to the chicken at this location. I would tend to agree. Everything I've eaten here with chicken is outstanding. Super complex spices that are hot but not overwhelming. Def recommended! read more

One of my mom's coworkers recommended that we try this little hole in the wall for the lunch thali, and we did just that. We walked in towards the end of the lunch rush and didn't have to wait long to be seated. Since it was our first time, we didn't like the waiter rushing us to make our order before getting seated. We had to ask the couple in front of us on how to order the thali and what it included. Vegetable lunch thali (mild spice) - Tomato soup: spiced well, smooth tasting - Naan/roti/paratha: Are we allowed to choose which one we want? 1 out of 2 quarter naan pieces was partially doughy and uncooked. - Vegetable biryani: are frozen vegetables inside here? The basmati rice is super fluffy though. - Curry: still had some spiciness that made both my mom and I sweat - Fried potato dough - Fried chickpea ball: stuffed with potato filling. Tasty and reminded us of samosas. - Raita: sweet milky yumminess It's bang for buck if you're eating for lunch because you get to sample various dishes. Service is a bit rough, but we weren't expecting much for the cheap lunch price. Water is from the tap. I was fine with it, but mom couldn't handle the taste. I didn't notice the free juice station next to the cash register, but it had already ran out by the end of our lunch. My mom loves that the sinks are placed outside the bathroom. Parking is a bit tight and you have to walk by a smoking establishment that's next door. Ew! Mom does what to come back though to try the meat thali. read more

Biryani Pot has the best Biryani in town. I am a regular and wanted to try something different from usual and they suggested I try the coriander chicken from appetizers. And it was amazing. Biryani pot has been my go to place for Biryani, small onion samosas for so many years, now coriander chicken is added to my fav dish. read more

A very unassuming but lovely place. The bench seats need some updating, but the food makes up for it. I dream of their butter chicken and garlic basil naan. The service is always pleasant and attentive. Food may take a little bit to be served, but it is apparent they make everything with care and to order, which I appreciate. If I lived in Houston, I'd be a regular. read more

Biryani Pot - Garlic and basil naan with Butter chicken and rice - Indian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Parking 3/5 Service 3/5 ( Served us water with no ice) Food 4/5 Price 5/5 Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter chicken are my two favorite dish here. Chicken korma was alright and I would say stay away from the house special chicken curry. It was way too salty for my taste. Mango lassi is a must get! Love the fresh mango taste. (Mango, yogurt, cream, sugar) Most of their chicken dishes are $10.99 and of course they are known for their Biryani. Can't go wrong there. One of my favorite Indian restaurant. read more

My husband and I have been consistently visiting Briyani Pot for a few years now. It feels very authentic and the food never disappoints! My favorite is the Chicken Tikka Masala which is rich in flavor and delicious. The service can be a little shotty but it is all part of the experience. We will continue returning! read more

Hope the food quality gets better and the taste gets better. Problem with India restaurant owners is they don't maintain the same quality that they have in the beginning days of the restaurant, once they get the name done ... they don't care about the taste / quality / quantity ..: I will think twice before coming here next time read more

First things first, the ambiance was simple, but nice. The floors could have been cleaner and the service could have been more attentive. We had to flag the waiters down for drinks and additional orders. Moving on to the food, OMG! This place serves the most authentic and tastiest Indian food ever! I had the house special of Chicken Biryani, chicken Manchuria, and herb and cheese stuffed Nan bread. My date ordered a delicious vegetarian egg plant dish with a yogurt and I think peanut soy sauce gravy. The fried string onions with herbs was delicious. We will definitely put this place in our list of favorites. read more

Delicious food. Very filling portions. My son even enjoyed it and he is a very picky eater.

I am regular customer to order every weekend from here. But this is my one of the bad experience . Sunday dinner we ordered a chicken dum biryani family pack and when we served we felt it is just gone stale. However this never happened with biryani pot . May be it is unnoticed and unattended as it is Sunday end of the weekend you see.. but for us this is last time we are taking out from here atleast at dinner times on Sunday. read more

A legit Indian food that I was craving, we ordered chicken biryani and chicken 65, i will order again

I agree, they may not be the best with carry out orders (read confusion, delay) but the food is great! The best chilli fish (indian-chinese style, even better than Aling's) in H-town! Biriyani (although cooked in Hyderabadi style which is simply a notch higher than rice and chicken curry folded in together) is flavorful with fragrant rice, long and intact grain! Please show your support and go back with a happy tummy! read more

Biryani pot HOUSTON vs DALLAS I happen to visit Dallas in March 2022, searched for biryani pot. Ordered food along with boneless chicken biryani. I was surprised to see chicken quantity in the biryani, it looked like a chicken biryani where as in Houston biryani pot's portion, you don't find chicken anymore. If Dallas branch is franchise then I will say it is run better. On other hand if Houston branch is franchise then it pulling the brand down. read more

Some of the best, if not the best Indian food in Houston and worth the drive from wherever you are in the city. The curry is spicy and flavorful and I absolutely love the masala. The naan is always fresh to order and everything here is flavor forward. Very well priced and always a delicious meal. read more

There are just few places that can make decent briyani, and this is one of them here in H-town. I had tried this place before when it first opened and it looks like they had redesigned the interior, which seems to look good for a dining experience. However, I ordered a chicken briyani to-go with one full egg, and it tasted great! I love the sauce that goes with it. It was also done pretty quickly, and i didn't have to wait long for the order to be done. It was also a good size for to go. I can't wait to order this again next time when I'm in the area. read more

I had their chicken 65, garlic naan, tandoori roti and chicken tikka masala. The chicken tikka was okay and it tasted more like a normal chicken curry and not tikka masala. Both the bread were perfectly made, fluffy and yummy. The chicken 65 was so good and it was made more like Chennai style and that's how I like my chicken 65. Took me back home for a moment! read more

Wish I could give a negative star to the way they treat their customers. * I ordered a Chicken 65 Boneless Biryani for take out and mentioned the guy on call to make sure i get chicken 65 Boneless Biryani because previous when i ordered for Chicken 65 boneless biryani i received mutton biryani once and Chicken dhum biryani for the second time . * I arrived at the restaurant to pick my food and the guy at front desk seems like a owner/Manager , The fellow was so arrogant/Rude . * Finally i could see a chicken 65 boneless biryani with chicken dhum bone pieces mixed up rather than chicken 65 Boneless biryani . I called up the restaurant and explained what they have did and the food was pathetic tasteless . *They Guy was least bothered on what they did. read more

Biryani Pot - Disgusting place! My to go order had bugs in the rice.. see picture!!! - Indian Near Me - Houston, Texas

I can only speak for the takeout and not the dine-in service, but it was great! Food was hot, tasty and well packaged to-go. Sauces were secured safely to prevent spillage and cutlery was already included without me requesting it. It was ready to go when I arrived and payment/service was quick and easy. The parking lot is small and Westheimer is one of the busiest boulevards in the Houston area, so be wary of traffic and people entering and exiting the shopping center. I will be back! read more

I came with a friend when this place first opened up. We came for dinner time, the place is small and very clean. We split the butter chicken and the Goat biryani. For a place that is named biryani, honestly I was not that blown away by this dish. However, they were both solid, just not amazing. To compliment these we got the Roti and cheese naan. Now this is what steps this review up from a 3 star. That cheese naan was probably the best thing I had ever tasted. It was just so freaking cheesy, like cheese bread but a little crispy and fresh right out of the oven! read more

MR says... tasty goat chops! MRS says... start with the non-veggie appetizer - Goat Chops of Heaven - and then order another one - Goat Chops of Heaven - to eat with your choice of meat biryani ... that's a meal right there. An order of the goat chops will get you approximately 7pcs. Order 2 because it's really that good. We ordered chicken65 in addition to the goat chops. Good appetizer - it will build your appetite. The house soup was a bit of disappointment. Not ordering that again. Will consider another visit for more goat chops and try other dish on the menu. read more
