​I was impressed to see them launching the Potlam Biryani, especially with their commitment to sustainability. It comes beautifully packed in a biodegradable leaf, which doesn’t just look great—it actually infuses the rice with a subtle, earthy aroma that plastic containers just can’t match.
​The chicken pieces were juicy and well-marinated that were just falling off the bone, making it so easy to eat without any fuss. The Potlam spice blend is bold and fiery, but the natural leaf packaging keeps the moisture locked in perfectly. A 5-star experience for both the palate and the planet!

First time visiting Pista House. I really enjoyed the cheese naan and the chicken pieces in the butter chicken; both were flavorful and cooked well. However, the butter chicken sauce itself was a bit too salty for my taste. On the plus side, I appreciated that rice came with the meal, unlike other Indian cafés in the area where it’s an extra charge to get rice with your meal. My hostess was very nice, she showed me where the spoons etc were and on my way out she gave me a bag for my leftover meals without me even asking. Overall, it was a good experience. It made me feel that there can be good customer service. 4 stars for the wonderful customer service.

Unfortunately, indeed for anyone who moved to SD from the MidWest in the U.S., it’s true, SD has just awfull Indian restaurants. After searching a lot in reddit and Google, seemed like this was a good place, worth a try. But, again, just fake reviews or by people without any authentic taste for good indian food.
– The Chicken Lollipop we got was sooo freaking spicy, even though we have good indian-level spice tolerance, these guys are just adding spice with no sense. Felt like the chef’s have themselves never tasted the food they are cooking. And, the chicken lollipop quality was miserable.
– The lamb Biriyani we got was like chunks of rice sticking together, very unprofessional, almost blank taste, felt like the rice in the biriyani masala that they made in the morning they just kept in the microwave and reheated, and gave us with some lamb meat mixed. Believe me, the first time I cooked lamb biriyani watching YouTube videos was 100x better than this, seriously, no clue what the chef here is doing, almost zero quality control. It’s soo sad, the Indian Food in San Diego is absolutely pathetic.

We visited Pista House and the food was really satisfying. My husband absolutely loves their haleem and honestly, this is one of the best haleems in San Diego — rich, slow-cooked, flavorful, and perfectly spiced.

The taste feels authentic and comforting, portions are generous, and it’s a great spot if you’re craving Hyderabadi-style food. Definitely a place we keep coming back to, especially for the haleem. Highly recommend!

I went to Pista House recently, and wow — the food was absolutely amazing! I honestly haven’t had such good Indian food anywhere in San Diego before. Every single dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly spiced, and tasted so authentic.

The Gongura flavored dishes, Mutton Sheekh Kebab, Ulavacharu flavored biryani, and Goat Keema Biryani were all exceptional. The goat keema was so tender and juicy, and for a South Indian who misses those distinct regional flavors, it truly reminded me of home.

They even offer Goli Soda, which instantly took me back to my childhood — such a fun and nostalgic touch!

For anyone who enjoys flavorful food with a mild spice level, I’d definitely recommend trying the Amaravathi flavored biryani — it’s absolutely delicious.

The service was super friendly, and the whole experience felt warm and welcoming. If you love Indian food (or even if you think you’ve tried it all), you have to check this place out. I’m already planning my next visit!

Loved the Veg Kheema and Jackfruit Biryani! It’s rare to find these options at Indian restaurants in San Diego. The masala was on point—rich, flavorful, and beautifully balanced with the spice.
