Storefront is nothing fancy, but delicious food!!! Especially recommend the Goat Haleem special.

parking up in Devon is very hard but it was easy because I rode my motorcycle today so I could squeeze in certain parts of a parking space on Devon. Also beware this is not a buffet and I was craving more for a buffet than an individual sit down this eating at an Indian restaurant that way I feel that was lied at. Anyways I ended up eating the mutton biryani rice which was decently good it was semi-formal and service was actually pretty quick and responsive the mutton biryani dish is very spicy especially with the complimentary sauces when I ordered some buttered naan. overall it was your average passed semi-formal Indian restaurant on Devon originally like I said I wanted a buffet but it wasn't what it was so I felt lied to on an Yelp. I didn't feel like driving around Devon trying to find Indian buffets as I was already hungry for lunch read more

House of Biryani - Ambiance - Indian Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We had an amazing breakfast here of masala dosa and omelette paratha. The dosa was perfectly crispy and we loved the different chutneys -- the coconut chutney seemed especially fresh. The paratha was hot, crunchy, and very nicely seasoned. The mango chutney was delicious and we appreciated the carrot halwa that came with both dishes. The sambar was the real star of the show! We loved every bite read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but this biryani was a complete letdown. The rice was dry and overcooked, the meat was either missing or barely edible, and the flavors were completely off--bland and greasy at the same time. It honestly tasted like it had been reheated from days ago. No aroma, no proper masala balance, and definitely not worth the price. I was really looking forward to this, but it ended up being a total waste of money. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a proper biryani experience. zero star however there's no option read more

We went there for all you can buffet, and were not happy at all. There were maybe 6 or 7 dishes served atop tables that were not clean. When dishes were being replenished, they could have used that opportunity to wipe off the area around the food and make it look more presentable. Very sloppy. There were a number of dining tables that weren't even cleaned off. We were there for maybe 30 minutes, and it took them that long to send someone to clean them. It wasn't even that busy, yet it took that long for it to be addressed. read more

It's a nice place to sit and eat, but I found the food to be overly spiced. By the time I finished the beef curry, I was sweating. The biryani was good but also over-spiced. Nevertheless, the portions are huge, and the restrooms are clean. read more

Well, where to begin. The food was a little spicy (I ordered mild) and kind of watery. The taste was OK but the quality of the chicken used seemed either low or was just overcooked. Then it turns out that they do not include rice with their dishes/dinners. Since I live in the Devon area and eat a lot of Indian food, this is the first time rice wasn't included. I also contacted the restaurant and their customer service was a disappointment. The person on the phone was less than friendly and seemed in a big hurry to get me off the phone. With all the great restaurants in this neighborhood, I don't think I'll be going back to this one. Disappointing. read more

We order to go goat biryani from here and definitely worth the hype, one of the best biryani experiences ever for sure. Maybe next time we will try other items from here as mentioned in other reviews.. read more

I love there chicken noodle aka chicken chow mein, Briyani are tasty but enough for 1 person because they only give you three pieces of chicken in each serving read more

House of Biryani is a late night, divey diner on Devon ave. If dining in, there is ample seating for larger groups. Though the place looks like it could use a good application of Pine Sol and grout cleansing. Not a traditional restaurant. More of a take-out kinda place. When I see a bunch of dudes crowding the counter, I always think.. there are aspects to the business that can be attended to. Prepping or filling orders, cleaning, etc. No wonder... I'm not seeing what others are. Their biriyani is decent but it's not in any way superb. Five stars?! Naw. A load of rice with less than 5 meat bones is rather pathetic. Of course, whomever is filling the takeout container has direct control over that aspect. With this said, ordering an appetizer of marinated meats or a gravy would help the biriyani. I got an order of chicken 65 as a side. It helped. Back to the biriyani, I can't believe how poorly mixed the rice with meat is. All anyone looks forward to is the biriyani seasoning which should coat the rice. If properly doused with the meats and thoroughly mixed with rice, the biriyani should sing to your nostrils and create a rush to taste. Such is not the case, IMO. Another question I have is whether they're making it (truly) in a "dum" or that they're utilizing biriyani essence.. Some people use essence so that they don't have to go through the process of adding all the necessary spices & seasonings. It's a shortcut which most will not detect. In any case, one and done for me. I may not return for biryani but I may stop in to sample their falooda. When it's late and your feeling like dessert, a good falooda can brighten horizons. (Falooda is a kind of ice cream sundae dessert. Akin to Halo halo) read more

A great combination of mediocre food and downright terrible service. If you want to get yelled at by the manager and his friends for asking why your food is 50 minutes lates and tastes bland, this is the place to go :/ Ps: I've been told the food is usually pretty good, but nothing makes up for their service to people that are not regulars. read more

Not great, but satisfactory. Got served from afternoons leftover and the base rice was same for all biryanis.

I've tried food all over Chicago. This Is The Best Biryani And Haleem And Chicken65 EVERRR Period. read more

I brought some Biryani lover friends here and the verdict is that they very truly impressed. My friends said the chicken Biryani was authentic Hyderabadi style, 5 points for the Biryani. They got chicken 65 which they said was close to authentic... I got vegetable pakoras and was satisfied. I would recommend this to anyone craving Biryani :) Don't forget to try their sweet pan, seriously one of the best I had in the area! read more

So here comes the buffet review.. friday lunch buffet is everything a hyderabadi would love. (bagara khana, daalcha, phalli, dum ka chicken, marg, sheerqorma etc etc) A must try.. u will not b dissapointed! Weekend dinner buffet has pakistani menu which again is all yum with nehari and chicken items.. u are always welcomed in a very warm way & its not expensive too.. I am a happy customer (So is my pocket).. Go check it out urself.. read more

It was not good at all. The rice was bland. I had asked them to deliver a spicy chicken biryani but the place delivered something that was completely opposite of what I had ordered. Chicken biryani was out of stock so he sent pulao which was tasteless. I won't recommend it. There are plenty of other decent places to check out. read more

Great service Great food.. in this location I feel this restaurant has nice ambiance & food was delicious. Loved chapathi & dal fry. read more

This place sucks they always take forever to prepare food and when you arrive they'll tell you to wait 10 minutes because they soo slow and the food is full of oil not fully cooked and the staff rude and they not clean at all they let anyone walk Ina back kitchen and that's not acceptable business should be shut down immediately I am at. read more

Very kind service, large portions, delicious food. I wish I took photographs, but I was really hungry and just, well, you know what happened. read more

One of the newer restaurants in Devon. I highly recommend the Haleem and the biryani. Until recently they were not offering dine in but it is now available. Service is very fast but only problem is they only take cash - so please do remember to carry some bills when you visit. Street parking is available but it is on a very busy street and finding a spot is purely luck! read more

Nice staff but did not provide napkins and had to ask for water multiple times. Masala dosai and idli were great. But chicken Biryani was very disappointing. Sauce on bottom chicken on top and then topped with white rice?! That's not biryani! Spices not well blended at all. Expected so much more from restaurant with biriani in its name. read more

I think there are a few good things to highlight: mutton biryani is great with good meat, haleem is my favourite and chicken 65 is very delicious. I would encourage them to provide a good estimate as to when the biryani will be ready. Still tastes good! read more

I really like this place, my wife and kid too. I first visited with my wife for lunch during the week. We had chicken briyani and spicy chicken masala. It was wonderful ! Just went for the Sunday brunch buffet. Many very tasty dishes. My kids are 11&12 and they loved it too, the briyani, butter and tandori chicken, beef, lamb, goat and the fresh naan was amazing! The chef is third generation of cooking in a restaurant from what I understood. A nice spot reasonably priced. read more

Worst place ever in Devon. Owner doesn't know how to behave with customer. I was asking calmly the rates for buffet which he increased that I did not know about this even didn't put any sign board. Very rude behaviour he has and I don't recommend this place for visit. read more

i went for the friday buffet and the price was always $16 but today they increased the price to $18 and did not even put a sign for the price increase. The owner behaviour was very rude. This is not how you talk to a customer and this kind of behaviour is unacceptable. I'll never visit this place again. Allah will put you down if you have this much attitude and ego. May Allah guide you. read more

Dum ki mutton birtani is amazing. I've been here a few times and I'm Hyderabadi. Nuff said. Oh yeah and the Haleem is really good.

Probably one of the best places to get Chicken Biryani, rice is cooked perfectly, chicken is very tender and flavorful. One order is large enough for two people, price is fairly reasonable, can be a bit on the spicy side but we'll worth the burn. read more

Went during Ramzan for sehri. Asked for chai. "hao chai 2 mint mein aari". Waited for like 25 minutes and didn't get any chai, instead just got glared at by a horde of Hyderabadi uncles. Eventually just left. Prolly won't come back read more

I love the food here, the service is amazing. Their friday lunch buffets are to die for , authentic Hyderabadi food!

Was really craving some Chicken 65 and this place did not disappoint. Was kind of expensive for how much we got but the flavor was so good! Would come back again just for this dish. read more
