It's been while I came to Bronx, great experience. End up here because I wanna try the biriani. It was good , not the best ! I also got some rasgolla as well for my family so they can try at home. Restaurant is smaller then I expected, clean & organized tho. Stuff were very helpful, I was following their attitudes towards some irritating desi customers! I gotta say they handled the situations pretty well. Seating there me personally was getting irritating towards the customers actions but the stuff were still very nice & calm. I so appreciate that, what an excellent service I didn't use the restroom because while I was washing my hands before eating I can actually smell the bathroom from outside . Made me almost puke, that's why I took 1 star away ! Hopefully this will be fixed sooner & next time I come back I can add back that star . Because they do deserve all the stars ! I hope all the very best for this restaurant & hope the food will still be great & service stays awesome ! read more

Would not recommend. I went in for a cup of chai and the owners kid was helping his friends instead of ringing me up first. FYI I was online first and he after ringing his friends up left with them. This is unacceptable and just impolite. read more

Heard a lot about Khalil Biryani House and thought to check it out. Let's just say I will not be going back. Nobody was wearing a mask or gloves. People at the counter was touching everything and then touching the food. We went there to order biryani, but just ended up ordering just tea, which was ok. The staffs there are not the friendliest. There are so many restaurants on Starling Ave, that I will not be coming back to this one. read more

Chicken Biryani is excellent. Perfectly seasoned very authentic. Garlic naan was also tasty very soft. The place could be more tidy but overall great place to get a quick bite, with affordable pricing read more

Takeout order. We got the weekend kacchi biryani after being hyped by a relative. Once I tried it, it was underwhelming and a bit on the dry side. I will say if I had this specific biryani somewhere else other than NYC or where there are no bengali or desi enclaves, I would probably rate it higher. But for NYC, I've definitely had way better kacchi biryani and at much cheaper prices. However, they were all in Queens so maybe expectations needs to be adjusted accordingly for Bronx. read more

Overly spicy, dry, not so seasoned/tasty. Drink portions are small. Definitely overhyped.

Excellent food and restaurant but also a social practice of positive family fun and intangibles

Not the cleanest place and the workers are not the most hygienic but.... Lamb Biryani is awesome. Kebabs are awesome. Samosa are awesome. Most of all, tea is awesome. read more

So if you want to sit and eat you'll eat told To drive up the street to "Khalil Chinese" it's not far at all! Place is your average desi restaurant don't expect high end customer service cause let's be real you're not gonna get it here . They have the desi food walked up from the original Khalil biryrani the actual kachi special weekend briyiani was decent nothing too wowing but was not too bad either. I probably will just do a pick up next time and give it another try. Wasn't great but wasn't the worst either! read more

I have been here before and Im not sure why this time it took such a long time for the waiter to come to us. I had to wave him over twice and it wasnt a great experience. The restaurant was also not packed at the time because it was a Monday evening. In terms of food, I wouldn't say this is anything great. We tried to eat more of the halal Chinese option so we had Thai soup, with chicken and shrimp, shrimp fried rice, and shrimp curry, lollipop chicken with gravy and for dessert, falooda. Unfortunately I did not get to take pictures of the food as we were very hungry since we had to wait for a while. I will say though if you need something halal and are fine with okays food, go here, otherwise there are alot more places for halal authentic food I would recommend. read more

Khalil Biryani House - Falooda- it was pretty okay - Halal Near Me - Bronx, New York

There aren't enough restaurants that serve delicious Bangladeshi dishes here. This restaurant is different. I would say they have the best biriyani. Kacchi biriyani is their most popular item. I tried 4 types of items and I liked kacchi most too. But that's the most expensive one as well. read more

The food was inedible. I ordered on seemless and immediately got sick. I'm a big fan of Indian food. This was not Indian food! Please spare anyone else from this disaster. I have to stop typing now because I need to go back to the bathroom ! Yuk read more

We went there last week for the first time, in part being aware of the so much hype and also with a curiosity to taste their cuisine. Our first impression was amazing. Foods served were really yummy and mouth-watering. Service and employee behavior were also very good. Cozy sitting arrangement -- good for family dine-in. We strongly recommend Khalil Biryani.

Khalil Biryani House - Chicken Biryani Beef Biryani Chicken Samosa Vegetable Samosa/ Singara - Halal Near Me - Bronx, New York

Food is horrible here. I got sick last week. Not a single staffs cares about the food and service. Not only that service staffs are so rude. Tables are dirty but they letting guest to sit before it should be clean and wipe the table. It's disgusting!!!Chef is the one bragging about his food and I heard today he is bragging that Malaysian diplomat asked him to open a restaurant in Malaysia which is completely lie. I would never go back again and I'll tell my friends and family who used to dine out there not to go anymore. If I could give them 0 star I wouldn't hesitate. read more

The restaurant is way overrated. And they're customer service is awful!!!! We ordered some tandoori dishes in advance & even paid a deposit. Food was meant to be ready by 11:30am on a Saturday as we needed it for guests coming to the house. Went to pick up around 12:15 pm & not only is the food not ready, the restaurant people tell us that it may take 1.5 hrs or more to prepare the food. Is this professionalism or what??? So why didn't they call us to let us know that they couldn't handle the order?? Imagine if that's all the food we relied on for our guests? Apparently Khalil Biryani received a big order for a picnic or something, so they just put our smaller order to the curbside. They did give our deposit back, but the total lack of professionalism, courtesy, ethics-- goes beyond saying. Needless to say that's the last time ordering food from Khalil Biryani in the Bronx. read more

The BEST biriyani in NYC!! Drove all the way from Jamaica to try it and that's my family's verdict Too bad they are too far from me otherwise we would have been a regular read more

I've been on the HUNT for a good Indian restaurant in my neighborhood and I have finally found it! My dad was in the mood to order some Indian food and we decided to try this place out for delivery and I'm so glad we did. Not only was the food neatly and thoughtfully packed but the aroma brought into our home was so delightful...hahaha is that weird? Nevertheless, the food was so fresh, clean and delicious. My tastebuds have finally grown to appreciate spicy food and the chicken tikka Masala from here definitely has a kick...my parents ordered two of these for their dinner and I dipped my paratha into the sauce and my gosh, so good. Attached you'll see our massive order of two chicken tikka Masala entrees, one veggie samosa, four naan breads, two chicken patties, one veggie patty, one fried chicken piece, Chana masala, vegetable biryani and paratha. First time trying paratha and I love it..I've had my fair share of roti and naan and this bread lover was so glad to find yet another tasty carb but the naan was also fresh and great. I think my favorite thing was the vegetable patty and the samosa...the patty was just so perfectly flaky and the samosa was filled with potato/veggies and a good amount of mild spices. The serving sizes are great portions, we had so much left over. And there's so many great vegetarian options. I also enjoyed the Chana masala with the vegetable biryani...can't wait to try the shrimp biryani next! Found my go-to Indian food spot! Now it's time to hibernate. read more

Tried it out today coz we happened to be in the neighborhood. Place is nice to sit down in with family. The owner seems to like to post pictures of himself with local politicians ‍.. something to look at to pass time as we waited for food. There is a full Desi menu but we wanted chinese food so ordered the lollipop chicken / sesame chicken / beef with broccoli / Szechuan beef / fried rice. Everything tasted good .. freshly made .. szech beef was spicy / beef with broccoli was not .. lollipop chicken is not like sagar in queens but our kids liked it .. The reason to not give 5 stars is main course took over half hour to get. May have been due to a party starting soon downstairs and they came over to apologize at some point but it definitely took away from the experience. read more

They have the GOODTOGO service app , false advertisement, called and they said it's not true , bad business scam , spoke to management and got charged , I called and said I can't speak to manager aigain about nothing and click they hanged up on me , I bought food there before, delicious amazing food but this is not right , owner better work on their employees, not everyone speaks Bangaly in the United States , I am Indian myself so please don't treat me other wise read more

On way driving from NY to Boston we decided to check Khalil Biryani. Week ago we watched Probasi TV in YouTube where this biryani house was highly appreciated. We found food was above average and service was good. My wife thought chicken tikka was little chewy. Kids loved Chinese noodles. Inside temperature maintained good. Proper lighting and cleanliness. Overall we enjoyed our time in the restaurant. read more

I am a Bangladeshi American and here is my review of Khalil Biriyani House, Bronx. I would give Khalil biriyani house Bronx NYC 0 star if I can. It is an embarrassment to Bangladeshi food. Reading about Mr. Khalil and his opening of the Biriyani house, I visited his restaurant in Bronx NYC where we personally met him. We had ordered the restaurant's signature dish which is "Beef tehari", "Biden Biryani" among other items. The food was terrible. Tehari was floating is mustard oil and was very overwhelming. The "Biden Biriyani" which Mr. Khalil named after President Biden was bland and tasteless. Mr. Khalil wants to draw the attention of celebrities from the Indian subcontinent and politicians from NYC and I deem it to be good. I like the attention he is drawing toward the Bangladeshi community. All the hype about great fusion Bengali food is deceptive and false in my opinion. There are many good restaurants in NYC that are much older in business and serve great food and have great service but, the only difference is, other restaurants are probably not drawing the attention of celebrities or politicians and that is fine with us diners since we want good service and food. To name a few, Alauddin sweets of Astoria Queens, premium sweets, Shahjalal restaurants and there are few more. I had also ordered food for my house for a house party. I had spoken to Mr. Khalil and ordered food. I had called him several times to remind him about the order up until the day prior to the pickup of the food and I also had gotten the pricing. He personally confirmed that all was ready. I informed Mr. Khalil that I would be traveling from another state for the food. The day I went to get the food I met with Mr. Khalil in the restaurant and told him and he inquired inside the kitchen. Waited a while. Then found out from someone else that except for a few of the trays, none of the other trays for the order was not prepared. There was no apology from Mr. Khalil. I had guests in the house and I was dependent on this pre-ordered food. I found Mr. Khalil and his services to be irresponsible, not caring, and lacking customer support skills. I will be changing my review on Google and other platforms and will never visit this restaurant. I advise for Mr. Khalil, to stop worrying about getting awards from the politicians! You are not doing any service to the Bangladeshi community by it. Give us great food and service. We the diners could care less if you are friends with the senator of New York or not. Quality of the restaurant's services, a great Bangladeshi food that reminds us of our beloved country (Bangladesh). What is the point of opening a Bangladeshi restaurant? Did you envision great Bangladeshi food or do you want to market bad food and ruin our country's name? Quality of food and customer services should not be reserved for politicians and celebrities, rather it should be for every paying customer. May Allaah guide you! read more

Okay, it's time to take down the old review. Their service has gotten a LOT better, and I'm glad that they completely revisited their customer service. read more

Too hyped up. Bad service . Food was really bad . We drove all the way to Bronx for nothing. It was too disappointing.

Really great experience! Quick & friendly service. Food was right on point! Bronx'rs don't have to go Queens anymore to get the best halal Chinese experience. Do try their thai soup, beef sizzling and khalil's biryani. I highly recommend this place for family. read more

Overall the food is good. I gave it 3 stars because for delivery they forgot my butter chicken.

This place is beyond gross,they have 0 Policy on wearing mask inside business establishment and customers are constantly walking behind the counter touching everything read more

Had a taste for samosas. Looked a few places in MY NEIGHBORHOOD. This place has such good reviews. Good thing first, the samosa was very good. However the service was horrible. I am an African American woman who is not Muslim. That was evident by the way I was treated. I was waiting my turn like everyone else, the server tried to service a man who came in after me. The man said she was here first, the server still tried to take his order. The gentleman insisted, he begrudgingly took my simple order with no niceness deserving of a paying customer. So although the food was good, I'm so not going to spending my money in an establishment that doesn't want me there. read more

Manager is very rude and ill behaved. Took a wrong order and started abusing us. very astonishing behavior when they are supposed to be humble and give back respect to people. customers don't hestitate to pay for good food and good customer service specially when we travelled all the way from East Long Island. Will never return to this restaurant read more

Lovely owners, truly friendly service, quaint spot with delicious beef tehari. Mango lassi was a hit. Chciken tika biryani was good, but go for the beef tehari for a dish you will be remembering for a long time. read more

We have a medium-sized celebration at work and the guest of honor requested Indian. I decided to order from Khalil Biryani House because the other reviews I read and their proximity to my work. We told them we needed to feed 40 people and that we wanted Samosas, Tikka Masala, Lamb Curry, Dal Makhani, rice and naan. They asked a very reasonable price and boy did they give us huge helping of great food. Everything was delicious!!! The party was a huge success and everyone at the party commented on how much they enjoyed the food. I'll certainly be going back to them again in the future. I would highly recommend. read more

Khalil Biryani House - Halal Near Me - Bronx, New York

I usually do not judge any restaurant for just a simple reason and because no one is perfect. my family loves food and we go out twice a month at least. But last night I have a terrible experience in this restaurant after 4 years (almost 35-40 visits exclude Catering). I am not expecting a 5 Star service here but I really expect decent customer service with decent quality food especially when food cost is a little expensive and use some fancy name. We always order the same food. Mix Thais soup, Chicken lollypop, chicken Tikka Masala, Beef sizzling Mix Fried Rice and finally any desert. first, we notice utensil and napkin is changed and these are bad quality. then lollypop sauce is not good, Soup came but no side(other sauce to use in soup). then fried rice came and not good because smell Bad. we request to change and we notice he gave us the same rice with extra cook because rice has now burning smell. and you can guess if a dish requires 20-25 min cook then how he can give us same food within 5 min. we notice the waiter is not ok and ask him and he said, he is on the floor since 11 am and we were there 9.30 pm and it is only 2 tables in the whole restaurant. I did not say anything the whole time and I ask him to give us a check and also a to-go box for fried rice. I sometimes mention to people, please don't judge any book by seeing its cover. Our food is the best food in the world.it is true that our community knows how to cook food but does not know how to eat and how to serve. We cook a dish for about 2 hours and eat within 5min. courtesy is contagious and I wish my community should practice. I am totally disappointed not because I paid the bill, I am disappointed because my friends and family love that place and now we need to find another place where customer service is the Value for the business. So this is not only this place this happens. there are some other Turkish, Indian, and Lebanese restaurants that are doing the same things. and it's true, when you make more money by getting those pandemic loans (like ppt etc) then you don't care about your business. But My request those Owners, Hey if you can't provide the service and quality that you advertise and then simply shut down your Business so then at least people can make their decision not to get disappointed. because people come here because they are hungry. God Bless all read more

Shoutout too Mr. Rahman and Akram. Very nice people, humble and work very hard. The food is extremely delicious. My favorite is the veggie fried rice, chicken tikka, garlic nann, roti and the sauces! Green and white sauces!!! The food is flavorful beyond expectations, try the hot tea. Samosas, and all fried options are delicious. read more

I was craving Indian food and this was the only one near me with decent reviews. I got chicken tikka m. My food was delicious and smelled amazing. I was a little sad that my food didn't come with rice but it explain why they charge extra for rice. The nann bread was also delicious. The prices here are also affordable. The people who work there are also friendly. I will definitely be coming back here. I did takeout. There is street parking but most of the spaces there were taken. I wouldn't recommend double parking in the street because it is a narrow road. They also gave me some garnishes but I'm not sure what I am suppose to do with them. Eventually I'll figure it out but it's nice to have that option. read more
