Our recent dining experience at Biryani Garden was a delighted experience. We had the pleasure of indulging in the Goat Mandi, a weekend special, and the Dahi ka Kabab, both of which left an indelible mark on our taste buds.
Goat Mandi (5/5):
The Goat Mandi was the epitome of culinary excellence. Served as a weekend special, this dish was a true showstopper. The succulent pieces of goat meat were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The Mandi rice, infused with aromatic spices, complemented the meat splendidly. The generous portion size made it ideal for sharing. Adding an image with a water bottle for size comparison.
Dahi ka Kabab (5/5):
The Dahi ka Kabab was a delightful appetizer that perfectly complemented the richness of the Goat Mandi. The kababs were incredibly well-balanced, with a crispy exterior giving way to a creamy and flavorful interior that melts in your mouth.
Service (5/5):
The service at Biryani Garden was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and eager to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional.
Ambiance (4/5):
The restaurant’s ambiance was inviting and comfortable, providing a perfect setting for a relaxed and enjoyable meal.

People are super nice n food is amazing..loved the kebab.. seasoning spot on. The biryanis specially the goat biryani was delectable.. we asked for the spicier version n it came with just the right amount of kick. Among all the Indian places that we have been to in Austin, I would give Biryani Garden a big thumbs up for their portion size..Would definitely come back

Visited on a weekend afternoon.
Ambience is good, fast service and for Togo there was little wait time given that its a weekend.
Podi chicken & shrimp appetizer are good.
Goat Briyani was having less flavor. I understand the taste differs for every individual but felt could’ve been more spicy and flavored. #HappyDining

I really don’t like to leave 1-Star Reviews, but I have to be truthful. Went here based on 4.6 Reviews and Recent Excellent Reviews. Got there at approximately 8pm, the place was empty and took a seat. 1st Red Flag: No Chai whatsoever, closing time was 10pm. 2nd Red Flag: Ordered a Majestic Chicken & Lasooni Gobi, the server came back and said the Chicken Majestic wasn’t available. Upon requesting another Chicken Appetizer, she informed us that there was NO Chicken available, except Chicken Dum Biryani! It’s midway through the week & no chicken inventory?! In the restaurant industry that’s an irregularity that has to correlate with the markets. Anyway, the Lasooni Gobi (a type of Garlic-Fried Cauliflower that supposed to be finished in a Savory, Spicy Gravy) was brought out and it was DRY in appearance. We were hungry, so we started eating it, but it was extremely oily and over-fried, not even a semi-gravy. We asked for some type of Dipping Sauce, one which was Ketchup, but the other two smelled & tasted spoiled—an absolute no, no for a restaurant. It shouts, “cutting corners” & no consideration for the customer’s health & safety. Majestic Paneer (in place of the Chicken): Majestic Sauce or Semi-Gravy is Typically a Yellow-Orange Sauce that coats Chicken, Paneer, Vegetables, etc and renders a Creamy Semisweet, Tangy, Mustardy and Spicy Taste (almost umami-like), but although the sauce was almost there with taste, it was gritty and tasted like it was mixed with raw cornstarch, along with missing the finishing flavors. The other issue was that the Paneer’s textures were inconsistent—some pieces were like stone, some chewy and others perfectly cooked. Butter Naans were saturated in some type of butter, ghee and/or oil. We paid the bill in full after we expressed our issues. At this time, I would not recommend this restaurant.

We visited them on a weekend to try the weekend special Mandi Biryani.
There was no printed menu available. The QR code on table was worn out. I had to go to other table to scan and find the menu.
We like spicy food, specially from Andhra but, Mandi Biryani was unnecessarily spicy. Delicious otherwise.
The quantity was sufficient just for two people.
The bill was surprising because the menu lists it as $24.99 but the bill was $34.60. That’s 39% more. When I asked about it, the person at reception told us that the menu is outdated and prices have since then increased because of inflation. It doesn’t take much to tell this to the customers in advance.
Extra spice and Misleading price are the two reasons why we might not be visiting here again.
Hope they improve.

Came here for dinner. Staff was friendly and were seated immediately. Food was excellent! I had the medium spice Lamb Korma which came with a side of rice and I added a separate side of the Chilli naan.
The atmosphere was pretty quiet and slow at the time, but very comfortable, clean and surrounded by decorative flowers. Would definitely come back again to try other options on the menu.

We had an amazing experience at Biryani Garden. The service was great and the food tasted authentic too. The staff was very careful with suggesting dishes for our friend with food allergies. We are definitely coming back for more!

I went there for dinner on a Friday evening, we certainly didn’t have any wait times to get a table. The service was also quite prompt. As for the food, everything was great. We got the malai kabab, chicken dum curry and 4 types of biryanis and pretty much all the dishes served met our expectations. Prices are also quite reasonable, surely recommend this place

After a long time austin has got this good biryani place… The non-veg and veg appetizers are so good and biryani was so good in flavor. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My friend has food allergies and we requested to avoid garlic and kitchen staff & front desk team did their best to taste fried rice without garlic and took care of it very well. We went here for birthday party for 14 people and place was good and outdoor seating is available as well it is located in a good and calm location… We ordered Goat biryani, Hyd Dum Chicken biryani and Egg biryani all of them tasted so good with rich flavors… Chicken 65 was so special and staff suggested murgh malai kabab which was really good… Lasooni Gobi, Goat pepper fry and onion/railway samosa are so good. we definitely recommend this place. They even made my birthday so special with nice gesture from whole staff.. we definitely got a good restaurant for great appetizers and biryani (we gonna try some naan and curries next time)

Very nice place for family lunch or dinner, the biryanis are great. Achari chicken is also tasty. We tried the mandi – it was amazing. The chicken is filled with different spices. Mango lassi is also really really good.
