I decided to visit Biryani Boyz for a lunch break after hearing about it from others in Ofallon, upon entering staff pointed to the bar area without greeting, I was then seated after a moment at the bar, after sitting down I was not given a menu and had to grab one from the bar top, after looking over the menu it took 10 minutes to flag down someone to order. I ordered Chicken Tikka Kebab, Lamb Saag, Chicken Vindaloo, Roti, Cheese Naan, and buffet service, the buffet had a selection of chutney rice, naan, dosa, curry, biryani, palak, and makhani, mostly chicken for protein with an option with paneer and an option with lamb. The buffet came with complimentary masala chai and lemonade. Most of the buffet options were middling and blandly seasoned at best, except for the the establishments namesake, the biryani, which was well seasoned and flavorful, the chutney selection was average, to note a few of the chutney’s were watered down, especially the Tamarind, the peanut chutney was their highlight. None of the buffet dishes were packing any spice heat, however they did have a red chili paste alongside the chutneys. The masala chai was solid and not too sweet, to note they had sweeteners on the side for those who have a sweet tooth, the lemonade on the other hand, was way too sweet for my taste, so I stuck to the masala chai. The chicken tikka kebab came out piping hot and smelled great, however upon trying the dish the seasoning was a bit underwhelming, the roti and cheese naan were perfectly cooked, not to crispy and not to doughy, the lamb saag was rich and creamy, well seasoned, and the lamb fell apart in the mouth, the vindaloo had barely any spicy heat, which I had asked for them to make it as spicy as possible, it just didn’t have that good kick, there was very little chicken, and even less potatoes, at first I wasn’t sure if they had added the potatoes. Overall most of the food was mediocre and lacked spice and heat, the service was sub par(except for the chef; he was a pleasant and friendly fellow), and to note while there, it was extremely hot and I was dripping sweat from the moment I walked in, I’m not sure if the AC broke, but it was cooler outside, and the temperature outside at the time was 81f, the thermalizers for the buffet didn’t help as it was likely contributing to humidity in the air. I’d personally say stick to the menu and pass on the buffet and make sure you don’t have anything time sensitive to worry about.

This is a new place alert for authentic Indian Cuisine Buffet. Ambience and the services were great.
Items included
Veg – Chana 65, Onion Pakoda, tomato Dal, sambar, white rice, palak paneer, Butter Naan and Veg Dum Biryani for veg lovers.
Non – Veg : Chicken 65, Tandoori chicken, chicken Dum Biryani, Andhra chicken curry, Butter Chicken Masala.
Dessert : gulab Jamun, caramel pudding.
Chana 65, Onion Pakoda, Veg Dum Biryani, Curd Rice, Tomato Dal, Chicken 65 were outstanding. Though the veg and non veg biryani masala seems to be same,however Cloves flavour was dominating in chicken biryani. We were served hot Tandoori chicken, it was soft and well cooked but somehow the flavour was missing. When it comes to desserts Gulab Jamun was good over caramel pudding. Overall the food was average.

★★★★★ Spacious Indian Restaurant
If you’re in the O’Fallon area and looking for an authentic and delicious meal, you have to try this place. It’s a five-star experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back soon!
We tried a couple of their curries with some soft, naan, and each one was a masterpiece. The staff was also very friendly and attentive, making the entire experience feel warm and welcoming. Great venue for hosting events.

My husband and I love Indian food and trying different places. At first, this place seemed great with lots of traditional options. Unfortunately, Biryani Bros left me with food poisoning. I was sick all weekend after enjoying the buffet on Saturday (4/19). Will not be returning.

While the food was very tasty and flavorful, the buffet was mostly cold. The only warm thing was the white rice, and it still wasn’t hot. I told a staff member that I didn’t think the buffet was heating properly, and they moved some trays around, but I was still left eating room temperature and cold food. The only thing that was available to drink was room temperature water and lemonade. Once again, I thought the flavors of the food was all very good, however it’s not enjoyable to eat a buffet that isn’t even warm.

The chicken tikki masala and the lamb masala was the best I’ve ever had. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend this place if you love Indian Cuisine.

Come for the food (which is great), but that’s about it. Don’t get me wrong, the buffet is diverse and was well stocked, FULL of flavor. I’d come back any day for the food! Especially for the very reasonable price.
But there are some major things to improve on. The restaurant was *uncomfortably* hot, like AC didn’t exist. I sweat easily to be fair, but I was dripping. There was literally *NO* service for the entire time we were there. No clearing of plates, no refill of the water pitcher. Not a single hint of decoration in the building, and tons of wasted space with an empty, unused bar in the middle and empty appliances. It’s odd. A lot of wasted potential.

I simply want to say thank you to Biryani Boyz for this personalized cake. The sweetness and butterscotch flavor were exactly right. It’s too reasonably priced, and they managed to deliver it on schedule.

So amazing! Everything was delicious! We ordered three different entrees and each was just as delicious as the next. The waitress was so kind and gracious. We have eaten at many Indian restaurants and this is the best. It was authentic and the flavors were spot on. The spices were perfectly balanced. We are definitely coming back and telling all of our friends.
