After passing this place many times, I decided to try it out. This place is good for those trying out biryani for the first time and want mild spice. We tried Goat Fry Biryani and Lamb Korma. All had good flavor but I think I have been spoiled with much more intense spices at other places. Mountain View seems to have a few biryani places but Sunnyvale still is at the top of my list to get Indian food.
Had a hearty, warm and decently yummy meal!
The restaurant is quite small with only 4 tables. It seems like so long as they're not backed up on online orders, the service is quite fast. The server is a bit shy, but was helpful during my visit.
Got one of the goat biryanis and it was quite good. This is possibly one of the most subtle Indian restaurants I've been to (in terms of flavour). The spices they use aren't very in-your-face, but definitely made an impact. Portion size was also perfect.
Was quite content with my visit here!
We ordered online and pick up was ready as we arrived. Food is okay but nothing special. The chicken tandoori was exceptionally dry and lacked in taste compared to other Indian restaurants. The same goes for the goat sukha. Anyone trying Indian food but doesn't like strong spices especially hot, may try this place. The biryani is just meat curry and spiced-rice on top, but tastes good too once mixed together. The place was busy when we arrived.
This was my first time visiting this establishment. We ate outside, which does have a pretty exposed feel as you're right by the parking lot. The food was very solid, and the waiter did between mild and medium spice for our biryani, which we appreciated. The naan was a little thicker, which tasted good.
Unique style of Hyderabadi food, which I enjoyed trying. The mughlai biryani came topped with a thick sauce and bite sized pieces of chicken. Also had a whole boiled egg and onions. On the side, it had saalan and yogurt. Pretty different from all the Hyderabadi style biryanis I’ve had so far.
The lamb pasanda had a tangy creamy sauce - almost like a butter chicken sauce. Decent stuff.
The bullet naan was my fav - fiery buttery naan which got its bite from the jalapeño and a nice coolness due to the cilantro.
The regular naan was ok.
Portion sizes were moderate.
All the meat is halal - the restaurant informed us verbally.
