Reviews
Pros:
• Fresh biryani around lunchtime
• Nice, cool decor and overall restaurant vibe
Cons:
1. Maybe it’s just me and my expectations, but the biryani felt very different .. and it’s a good things it’s different than what you usually get at Bay Area joints. But it didn’t live up to the hype. The meat was undercooked, and overall the flavor didn’t hit — unsatisfying masala, nothing close to authentic Hyderabad-style dum biryani.
2. The restaurant feels disorganized — boxes everywhere, near bathrooms, like they’re still setting up. Hopefully, they tidy up soon.
3. Bathrooms aren’t very clean.
4. Food was served in a to-go box, which felt off to me. Not a great experience.
5. $21 for mutton biryani that tastes just average.
Verdict: Worth trying once, but probably not more than that. Some may love it, but it wasn’t to my taste.
Majestic chicken had a strong scent of turmeric, likely this ingredient was used too much, nevertheless it did have an effect on the taste. On the other hand, the chicken 65 had more red color than needed. Both starters weren’t that good.
The biryani was good, it had a good balance of masala and the chicken was cooked well. I’d likely come back again only for the biryani – will do a take out and skip the hassle of dining in, which is what we did today and didn’t like at all. The food comes in to-go boxes anyway, might as well bring it home and eat:).
We tried the Mutton Haleem, Mutton Biryani, Chicken 65, Majestic Chicken, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Sticks and loved them all!
*The mutton haleem was rich, hearty, and full of flavor. *Must try
*The Hyderabadi biryani stood out with perfectly cooked rice, tender zabiha halal, and that unmistakable dum aroma. *Must try
*Chicken 65 had soft, balanced flavoring not overpowering at all.
*Majestic chicken instantly reminded us of Hyderabadi wedding dinners (so nostalgic!).
*The butter chicken was creamy, buttery, and smooth exactly how it should be.
*And those chicken sticks? Perfect starters crispy, juicy, and best enjoyed hot right out of the fryer with their dip.
For desserts, the Apricot Delight was just uff, amazing!!! so well done, and the Fruit Trifle was equally good. We ended the meal with a cup of super Irani chai, and mango lassi which wrapped up everything perfectly.
The restaurant has a simple, classic Hyderabadi ambiance, with both indoor and outdoor seating and great natural lighting. I also really appreciated the small prayer corner they’ve thoughtfully provided such a nice touch. Everything was clean, service was friendly, and overall hygiene was good too.
Definitely visiting here again.
The rice is flavored with the perfect amount of masala and the meat is extremely tender.
The food taste and quality is miles ahead than all other bay area restaurants and puts it in another league of its own.
We also tried haleem, Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani, and mutton dum biryani, everything tasted authentic and well balanced with spices. Mango Delight and Fruit Cream were amazing and refreshing. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick, making the overall experience even better. Highly recommended for authentic Hyderabadi food!
It is a nice, neat, and clean place to enjoy nostalgic Hyderabadi food. As a vegetarian, I ordered the world-famous Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, and it was outstanding. The Biryani arrived piping hot and full of an aroma that instantly transported us to Hyderabad. My family and I found it fantastic, yummy, and flavorful—we truly felt like we were devouring “God’s nectar (Devamrutham).” The rice was perfectly fluffy, separate, and non-sticky. We were so hungry and excited to eat that we actually forgot to take pictures!
I also wanted to personally thank you for being so kind, polite, and accommodative during our visit.
Their mutton biryani is other worldly . Rice and the meat are perfectly cooked and extremely flavourful.
Also tried the chicken sticks and eat them when they’re hot – very crispy and subtle flavors.
The staff is super friendly. They also have a wide variety of desserts.
All in all 100% would recommend!!!
The highlight of the menu is, of course, the Hyderabadi biryani—perfectly cooked basmati rice infused with fragrant spices and tender, juicy meat. The mirchi ka salan and raita served alongside enhance the dish beautifully. Other standouts include the rich and creamy Haleem, the spicy and flavorful Chicken 65.
The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes and quality of food. Given the authenticity and richness of the dishes, it’s worth every penny.
Whether you’re a fan of Hyderabadi cuisine or trying it for the first time, CHOWRASTA delivers an unforgettable culinary experience. Highly recommended for food lovers looking for bold flavors and traditional charm.
Planning to try the whole menu slowly.
Thanks alot for having us.
