“Place really lives up to the name. Great variety of Biryani, all of it very delicious. I have been here multiple times and it has always exceeded my expectations. Also has a range of tasty vegetarian/ vegan options and appetizers. All of the food is very authentic while still able to cater to western culture (indian vs american spice levels for dishes).”

“Me and my fiancé loved Biryani hub. We tried weekend specials; fish tandoori, Kerala Parotta, and Nalli goat biryani. It was so so good. Personally I loved the biryani most, it felt like spices exploded in my mouth and the goat was so soft and so well cooked. I loved how light the kerala parotta felt. The place felt cozy, staff were friendly and the service was good. The weekend specials are on Friday - Sunday. Overall 😍✨”
