Very fresh food. Almost too fresh in a way, at least for Americans. Could tell rice was cooked in a proper method. The veggies were crisp, and the naan, all fresh. However very little flavor to it with its freshness. Either no salt at all in the cooking, or no seasoning soaked into anything. The naan was fresh from a fire oven and unfortunately was a bit burnt from it, but top marks for traditional cooking. The down notes was service, waited a long time before seating, the place was silent, had some music when I first got there but they turned it off once they saw me. And finally the price. For same amount I pay in Laramie for enough food and naan for 2 people, I got a solid serving here, and barely enough naan to eat with.

The food here speaks for itself, it’s one of the best in Arlington, this place doesn’t have all the luxury things and fine dining experience but I would recommend you to just go for the food and you will not be disappointed.The owner of the place is very polite and humble. The portion size is more than enough for two people.

I got chicken Biriyani. The portions are huge. I got mild and it was still spicy enough to be good. They could add more veggies to it to make it better. The flavor was still really good. It cost 10.99. The service was great. Friendly and made it fresh and fast.

Don’t get fulled by location or appearance of building – this place is a hidden gem! I came here craving chicken biryani and wasn’t disappointed. Portion was huge ( even for take out) and was surprised to find free samosa in my bag. Food was good and I’m glad I chose spicy, it has very nice kick. Owner are very nice and sweet people.

Stop the press! I’ve been on the hunt for home cooked Indian food that doesn’t cost and arm and a leg and as an Indian myself I keep myself why is every Indian restaurant so expensive? It doesn’t cost a lot to make this food, I make it myself all the time.
I found a hole in the wall restaurant via google and its reviews called Biriyani House. I saw the menu prices on google and just had to see it for myself. They’re the same. $1.69 for a samosa the size of your hand (that’s how they make it in India, btw!), $6.99 for a huge to go chicken biriyani and $13 for a veggie curry.
They gave me a free samosa while I waited for my order to be cooked and they had it done fairly quickly. I couldn’t wait to go home and try it and let me tell you, it’s the best authentic Indian food I’ve ever had! Not too spicy and so flavorful like how my mom makes it. I took some pics to refer to how much they gave me, I’ve already had over 5 servings and I still have about 2-3 servings left over!
This is the place y’all. It’s also a super sweet older couple who cooks the food by themselves, no hires so the flavor is coming straight from a cultural tradition. If anyone has had biriyani house please let me know what y’all think! I’m going back to get some more tonight Hehehehe

Great price. Amazing taste. I had the chicken biryani and the chicken is so tender it’s falling off the bone. The chicken also has great flavor. The owners made me feel very welcome.

It was my first time trying Biriyani, so I didn’t know what to expect, but my first impression of it was very positive. The spice level was executed well, and the overall flavors were balanced. The portion size of the Biriyana impressed me as well. I ordered delivery, so when it arrived, I noticed that they did well with securely packing the food.

My boyfriend, sister, and myself stopped by because we were in the area. If you want something other than biryani be sure to ask for a menu. The prices are so low especially for the quality of the food. If I had an Indian mom, this is what the food would taste like. You can tell that the cook put in a lot of work and love into the food. The butter chicken was phenomenal and I’ve had nothing like it before. And believe me, I’ve tried butter chicken at multiple restaurants in the area and nothing compares to the one here. The portion sizes were actually big enough for two separate meals (and we were all starving). The rice is cooked to perfection and even has spices in it. The naan was also really good. I want to come back and try the biryani! The gentleman working was also very friendly and genuine. The place is small and there aren’t a lot of parking stops (not the restaurants fault obviously). 12/10 would recommend

The Chicken Biriyani and probably all their biriyanis are amazing! The amount they give you for the price is REAL value for money that I do not think you will get anywhere else!!! 1st time i had to eat it twice to finish. They biriyani ranges from $8-16 bucks woth chicken being the cheapest
