Tried Pista House and overall had a really good experience. The Chicken 65 was flavorful and cooked well definitely one of the better ones around. The biryani was also tasty with good aroma and tender meat, but it’s on the spicier side. If you enjoy spicy food, you’ll love it. If not, just make sure to tell them ahead of time to make it mild. Everything served here is 100% Zabiha Halal, which is a big plus. Good food, good portions, and worth trying.

Absolutely loved this Indian restaurant! The flavors were rich and authentic, with perfectly spiced curries and freshly baked naan. The butter chicken was outstanding, and the biryani was fragrant and delicious. Warm hospitality, quick service, and a cozy atmosphere made it a perfect dining experience. Highly recommend!
The samosas were crispy and perfectly seasoned, and the mango lassi was refreshing and creamy. Every dish tasted homemade and full of tradition. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable, offering great recommendations and checking in at the right moments. Portions were generous, prices were fair, and the overall experience was simply exceptional. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from their menu!

recently visited Pista House and had a great experience. The food was authentic and full of flavor. Their biryani was perfectly cooked with the right balance of spices, and you can really tell they put care into the preparation. The portions were generous and everything tasted fresh.
The service was also very welcoming. The staff was friendly, attentive, and happy to help with recommendations. The restaurant itself was clean and had a comfortable atmosphere, which made the whole dining experience enjoyable.
If you’re looking for good Hyderabadi-style food in the Torrance area, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be coming back again!

Very poor service. Wait for the tea and waiting for like a decade and order Chanamasala and biryani. Once ordered it is super spicy and they said you haven’t said anything so it’s medium spicy then how come the Artesia outlet serve medium spicy if customer doesn’t mentioned anything. I think they need to change their operational staff. Very very bad experience and very poor management. I used to be alomost regular customer in pista house now they lost their potential customer. So it’s going to be 35 min for the tea. They took only for tea and chicken lp. Waste of time and energy

I ordered biryani from doordash. They literally gave me white rice topped with paneer curry. Its SWEET; a biryani is supposed to be spicy!
Edit: i ordered Gongura paneer not Amaravati; you replaced it in my order as gongura is out of stock. Also FYI, basmati rice topped with paneer curry is not biryani. Atleast not in Hyderabad

Wonderful place, with a terrific variety of vegetarian options too. I had the Chili Paneer, perfect portion, really flavorful and great balance of not-too-spicy. Several other kabobs I would like to try, the service was terrific, and they were very willing to share menu options and help me decide. Prompt service, good pricing and it’s a nice clean place.
