Urban Biryanis - Sunnyvale (CA)

1 /5 Laurie Tehaney: Basically ignored. Had to get my own water from another table and ask for Naan. Food was okay. As shown, but bland.

5 /5 Joseph Mesa: Order: 1 Mango lassi, 1 Taj Mahal (small), samosas, garlic naan, gongura mutton curry. (If I ate a normal amount of food, I easily would have paid less than $20--I was hungry and curious so I had $40 worth of food) I am sipping on this delicious lassi as I type this review. My food came out quickly, all wonderfully aromatic and great presentation/plating. Im not very familiar with Indian food, but with every item I ordered I experienced for the first time and find myself wishing I could have eaten more. There is a delightful complexity to Indian cuisine Ill likely never truly understand but will always admire--this restaurant is no exception. My waiter for the evening was incredibly polite, friendly, and left me impressed they genuinely care about the customers experience. It should be mentioned they helped me navigate the menu and ensured I knew what I was getting into regarding the infamous Indian-level heat/spice. As far as my experience goes, the restaurant was cleaner than many others and I have no complaints. If youre in Sunnyvale/the surrounding area, and even slightly enjoy Indian food, save yourself the time trying to make a decision and come here. Separately, I dont know if anyone who left a 1 star review actually ate here.

1 /5 Manvi Agarwal: Ordered vijaywada paneer biryani and vijaywada chicken biryani from this place via DoorDash. But don’t be fooled by the 4.8 rating that this place has. Both biryanis were bland. Rice was overcooked. No spices at all and paneer was rubbery and bland. The onions on top have been cut since god knows how long, that it smells rotten. Do not order from them and especially not biryani unless you want some paneer pulao and chicken pulao. I hope the restaurant changes their description on DoorDash about the product because it is misleading. Extremely disappointed by the food. Reply to the owner: The order was placed by DoorDash under my husband’s name (initials SS) at 6:20 pm on June 8, 2025. So just about 2 hours ago. DoorDash has generously refunded us of our total amount.

5 /5 Sean Huang: We went for their lunch buffet on a Sunday; $15. Six selections of biryani, five meat selections, seven vegetarian selections, and a few desserts and hot tea. Overall very tasty, very spicy, friendly and prompt service.

5 /5 Kimney Nguyen: So delicious! Such a great experience!! Really kind people!! I really enjoyed the food and experience here. It’s like you’re walking in on a gathering and everyone’s getting what they wanna eat from the tables filled with food. Food tastes homemade. Buffet, reasonably priced. Naan bread comes with and is super super well made. Each person served me kindly as well!! :) I will be back!!
