We went for dinner and decided to sit outside. They were short staffed and requested to be seated indoor. We were fine with that. The server were super nice. Talked us out of getting the paratha because he said it's frozen. Super grateful to him. He helped us order for us and we got chicken and goat pulaos. Kids chose to get chicken tikka and I think the chef could use a class on that. It wasn't tikka masala at all. Kids just dipped in the sauce and ate the food. The naans were very crispy and we weren't a fan of that. Everything was tasting good. We got a ton of Togo. This morning we heated the pulao and it already had gone bad. What a bummer! Glad for the service didn't care for the food. read more

We came to try the biryani after our friend who is native to this region of Indian cuisine recommended this restaurant. They have an overwhelming selection of biryanis with no description, so we consulted ChatGPT for advice. I did ask the server, but he didn't really explain any of the options and just recommended one. It would've been helpful for the menu to have just a little description of each type of biryani for those unfamiliar with it. I got the chicken dum biryani because it seemed like a simple, basic option. It was delicious. I asked for it less spicy, which just means they add more rice, and it was great for my wimpy tasty buds. My friend got the goat dum biryani. The portion was huge and great for two meals for me, while it was three meals for my slender friend. We also got the garlic naan, which was really cripsy and tasty. I prefer softer naan, but my friend loved the crisp. They gave us room temperature water, and I eventually asked if they had ice because my mouth was on fire. They brought me a small cup of ice. I think I really needed a whole pitcher of ice water to help temporarily cool my mouth (I know it doesn't actually help with the spice, but it feels like it does). The server was okay but didn't help us with explaining the dishes after we asked. We were also so confused if we were supposed to go up to pay at the counter or not, and we waited at least 15 minutes before finally going up there. The server instantly followed us and asked what we needed. Turns out they are supposed to come to your table when you pay. read more

Husband goes to this place often with his colleagues, and he likes it. Last week he bought madras mutton pulao, it was so good, mutton and rice ratio was good, spice level was good, portions are good, mutton quality and how they had cooked, was perfect, so today ordered rajugari mutton pulao bucket, equally good, giving 4stars as I have never been to restaurant for dine in, so can't say much about service or ambience but if it's just for biryani I have tried, then it's solid 5stars. read more

I ordered food for 12 people. I ordered goat dum biryani bucket size. Mutton is severely undercooked. My daughter tried it and now she's having stomach problems. See the pictures attached. I also ordered paneer biryani bucket size and found chicken pieces in it. how the hell do you put chicken in the paneer biryani. Will never be ordering food from here again. really pathetic. read more

The service was nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place seemed clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a large group. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a little loud with the music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was good. I wouldn't say it was the best I've had and it's a bit of a far drive for me so I'm not sure if I'll go back. But if you're close by, it's not bad. I would go again if I lived closer as I had an overall good experience. Each regular sized dish could have fed 2 people so you get alot of food. I had the Newabi chiken Byrani with water and it came out to $24 after tax and 20% tip. read more

I can't speak on the service (UberEats) but the fish was PERFECTLY cooked, flavored and seasoned, nice and spicy like I wanted. The corn soup was a lil weird (tasted like cream of corn with chicken broth and a ton of green onions) it was my first time trying and it's not for me. The roti wasn't what I was expecting either it was more of naan instead of the texture and light airy roti I use too. But overall it was very good and I would recommend! read more

Finally tried the Potlam Pulauv from Nawabi Hyderabad Biryani, and it was nice to have something traditional but rare to find in Austin. If you're a biryani lover, this is a must-try. The dish features rice and meat wrapped in a thin omelette and banana leaves We ordered the Potlam Pulauv NatuKodi ($21), and as always here, the meat was incredibly flavorful. I particularly enjoyed the bone-in style. They typically serve it at a medium spice level by default, which has a decent kick, so be sure to specify your spice preference if you want it milder or hotter. Their bread is the best I've had in Austin. The parota with curry ($17) was especially noteworthy--flaky and delicious. You can get it shredded (kota) or whole, depending on your preference. We've dined here many times, and I recommend trying the more unique dishes rather than the curries since the other items are harder to find. That said, we did sample the butter chicken, and it was excellent. Made with white meat, it was tender and not dry, with a creamy consistency and not just another tikka masala read more

The service and ambiance at Nawabi House are great and I think the owners are kind. The tvs playing cricket reminds you of india! However, I think the food is so-so, particularly because we are vegetarian and the place is more geared towards non vegetarians. We ordered medhu Vada (good but nothing special), the gobi was totally burnt, and parotta (which was good). They were very amenable to feedback and took off the gobi from our bill which I appreciated. We will probably stick to doing paneer biriyani from now on. read more

This place was a disaster, I rarely have a bad experience that I want to write about but this was a pretty unsatisfying meal. Our friend was visiting from out of town so we thought this would be a cool place to visit, it was not. While the decor is nice and the restaurant is bustling and spacious, the wait time was INSANE. We waited for around 30-40 minutes for our table even though when we asked they said 20 min. The service low key was disappointing as well, they took forever to get to us and take our order and we solid waited 40 minutes for our food and our order wasn't even extensive!! We made the mistake of deciding to order a couple of things and more stuff later but that was a mistake because we literally could not get the wait staffs attention at all. Moreover while the huge fans inside keep you cook they also blow off your food from the table! I literally had to grab my flying puri, it was hilarious but also what!? Ok now the food, we ordered one chicken saag, chole puri, naan and some desserts. They gave us the deserts first. And one of them wasn't even put in a container, they just took the takeout container and put that on the table, the presentation on both deserts was SO lacking we didn't feel like eating either, thankfully the gulab jamun at least tasted good. Anyway after a while we got the chole/chana masala which was delicious, puri that was too oily and crispy, and chicken saag which was good but barely any chicken. Once again I don't like leaving bad reviews but this was a really bad visit for us. read more

MEAL: Dinner ORDER TYPE: Dine In MY ORDER EXPERIENCE As I have already written my review previously on Carry-out, this experience is based on my Dine In experience. As this Indian place was closer to my place so we opted to go to this restaurant. We were a party of 3 and were given seats right away as the place was quiet. The server handed over the menu which had limited items due to Soft Launch opening. Upon reviewing and discussing, we ordered the following items from various sections. It took about 15+ items for the dishes to arrive. APPETIZERS Manchurian - Gobi(spicy) The Gobi Manchurian looked delicious. The Manchurian was well cooked and was flavorful. It was topped with spring onion and had green peppers in it. BIRYANIS Biryanis Kaju Paneer Biryani ® (spicy) This has been my favorite dish so far at this restaurant as the biryani has been delicious. The biryani had the right amount of spices with sufficient portions which makes this biryani the best. It was topped with additional paneer pieces, cilantro, and onions. The best part was the cashews that are added to the biryani along with the paneer chunks. I RECOMMEND this biryani for vegetarians. Gutti Vankaya Biryani ® (spicy) I have never tried an eggplant in a biryani. This was an interesting combination which I have never seen or heard about. Surprisingly, the biryani tasted good. As the name itself shows, the domination of EggPlant flavors can be felt while consuming. It was topped with eggplant with its masala, cilantro, and onions. The quantity was like Kaju Paneer Biryani. Both the biryanis came with salan and raita. We also ordered one Thums Up to add kick to our delicious meal. Biryani and Thums Up is one of the popular combinations while consuming a biryani. The price was super expensive as it was $3 per can. Overall, the food had essence, presentation and taste which made us bellyful. The customer service was good. The food seemed fresh and was served hot. The taste and the quality of food is still consistent from the day of opening as other places have had the history of the food quality going down. The restroom needs to be hygienic and has issues with water dripping. I would be giving a 4 rating just for food. But, for the other details, please review my previous experience. read more

Subject: Disappointment with Catering Service and Food Quality Initial Experience: I had dined at this restaurant multiple times and was generally satisfied with the ambiance and taste. Based on this positive experience, I decided to order catering from them for my daughter's birthday. Ordering Experience: The initial conversation with Robin, the person handling my order, started off well. However, he first verbally quoted $500 for the complete order, then changed it to $550(when finalizing on paper) the next day. After some discussions, we settled on $520(attached receipt as a proof). This breach of trust was concerning, and it taught me to be cautious when dealing with Robin. Food Quality: Despite my hopes for good food, the catering turned out to be a nightmare. Starters: Gobi Manchurian was a disaster. It was overcooked, saucy, and fell apart when transferred to plates. No one in the party, literally no one liked it. Baby Corn Fry lacked the usual taste and mostly got left. Curries: The Paneer Butter Masala was the taste for curry I've ever had. There was no cream, and it seemed like they used stale ingredients. This was one the dishes I thought kids can eat with naan but not even could finish the curry they initially put on their plates. Many guests suggested that I write a review to warn others about this poor quality. I've attached an image to show the unappetizing texture of this dish. Biryani: The Vegetable Keema Biryani was the saving grace for the party, as some people, including myself, enjoyed this dish. Overall Impression: I will never order catering from this establishment again. It was slightly overpriced compared to similar restaurants, but I felt i can try once. I suggest don't order if you are in similar situation as me. And, I suggest communicating through messaging rather than verbally with Robin if you choose to order from them. read more

Went to try this new Indian restaurant opened in austin across from sangam. I have come to conclusion that all these biryani restaurants are pretty much same. No difference in food at all. Besides some difference in ambiance of the restaurants itself. I am hoping for some good North Indian restaurant to open in austin at some point. All these biryani places start to look so much alike now. I have no complaints about this new place. Service was fine, ambiance was cool, waitstaff was fine. We ordered Appolo fish, ra ra mutton and chicke biryani. Food was decent nothing special. Tasted just like another Indian restaurant. Will probably come back at some point but not like I have to go to this place every week... read more

Ambience : Above average Food quality: low - Average Service: Average First visit was in first week of opening. Food quality was really good. 2nd visit was after few weeks, ordered 2 dishes. Lamb Meat was over cooled and very tough to eat. Biryani was below average. I feel Rock and Grill is best place for biryani if you just want biryani. read more

Got to try the biryani after few folks recommend this place. TBH chicken Biryani was just average.

Really good spicy food! I Have never eaten there only ordered out. Every time the food is top notch.

Their snacks items are not fresh. We bought a egg bonda and Samosa's TO Go. Luckily before having the Egg Bonda we noticed that there was Fungus in it and it is spoiled. We did call the restaurant and they claimed it was fresh and they did ask for pictures. After sending pictures they texted at night 10 pm asking to come and get a replacement. No apologies nothing. They failed to understand that replacement of the spoiled product again which is in the shelf will not solve the problem. Not recommended to try this restaurant if you want to eat fresh food. Worst Indian restaurant in Austin. I would prefer to give No stars if there is an option. read more

When they opened for the first time we used to go there almost every week, where food was tasty and fresh. In our recently two visits the food quality was bad, they forgot to add salt and the biryani was not at all fresh. it was very blunt as if we are eating some plain rice. read more

I like the food and quantity the Nawabi and Achari biryani was good. The service could improve

We ordered Goat biryani and butter chicken . Butter chicken is really delicious . Biryani was good as well . Service was quick . Our server kept checking on us . Looking at the previous reviews it seems that they may have struggled a bit in the beginning but they certainly improved a lot . Goat dum biryani is also very different , has a home made taste . Highly recommended. Ambiance is inviting and clean . read more

Wanted to try someplace new. I am so happy we tried this restaurant. We were not familiar with many items on the menu so our waiter patiently described things for us and made wonderful suggestions. I ordered a dosa, something I hadn't had in years. Good news, they are gluten-free! The dosa comes with 3 delicious sauces to dip into. We also ordered sag paneer, a family.standard, a chicken dish, a lamb dish, and lentil soup. We have so much food left. We will definitely be coming back. read more

I was at the Nawabi Hyderabad House today and ordered the Diwali Thali and Biriyani. The biriyani was served on time, like within 10 minutes. The thali never came to my table, and whenever I asked for it, they would say in the next 5 minutes I would get the dish. I waited for almost an hour and still did not receive the thali and cancelled the order and left. One of the worst experiences. read more

First visit! Big open space.. good layout. Quite a good variety of food on menu... we ordered the Afghani Paneer and Goat dum biryani. Biryani was spicy and delicious! The service was excellent! Our wait staff was Mr. Swaraj. He was knowledgeable about all the different spices and Masalas in the variety of biryanis. It was quite a learning experience to understand the menu! Mr. Swaraj was brilliant in his prompt service. The entire staff seemed to be working hard in their service to all guests. I hope the owner Mr. Srikant recognizes and appreciates his hard working staff! Thanks for a great experience..! read more

Newer restaurant with modern casual vibes We've only been here once but the food was quite flavorful. Monagadi Biryani and Potlam Pulavs are delish - the flavor was just right and the rice and veggies were cooked to perfection.
