Biryani Bowl
Enjoy exciting Lunch Specials on Mondays thru Thursday from 11am to 3pm at Our Chestnut Hill Location. Enjoy freshly made Dosa's, Vada & Other South Indian Delicacies, only at Our Lansdale Location. I shall never return to any other local Indian restaurant after dining at this gem. They have their name for a reason -- Biryani to die for!

I hummed & moaned from the delight of this dish (got the veggie biryani) and the complexity of spices dancing around my mouth & delivering giddy happiness into my belly. I actually wanted to get up & dance! Garlic naan was a warm pillow of yumminess. Raita was so fresh & perfect accompaniment. Servers were warm, humble, expedient.

First time there, good food, nice people, nice place. Butter Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala, Gulab Jamin were excellent. For the time being, no buffet. Order from the menu.

Very good food. I ordered their Chicken Biryani and Butter chicken and it was very scrumptious and flavorful. This is the best Indian food around this area. I highly recommend this place for newcomers. Staff are friendly as well.

I just got sick and my stomach still hurts from ordering chicken tiki masala with garlic naan. Will not be coming back. Be careful when you eat here.

Worst experience every… don’t even deserve to get a review but it’s important to tell, first of all they took the order and not friendly at all, i have order and they missed the items (spring dosa), and then… they didn’t have water and when we asked they said o we have the bottle (walmart 24case bottles) and they said we charge for it… REALLY WHO CHARGE FOR WATER??
and then when we asked they said we will not charge you for this time but next time you can bring your own water…
And the butter chicken was not cooked it was cold and then gravy was not

Menu prices are too high. They needs to pay attention to reduce the price. Markets are very competitive. Customer always looks for reasonable price.
I don’t have anymore plan to go that restaurant.

Staff was very sweet and friendly. The woman who greeted us and took our order was really kind and helpful and the gentleman cooking brought our food out with a big welcoming smile. Food was delicious with a great selection. We got the puri bread, naan assortment, chicken kebabs, and chicken korma. All were excellent with lots leftover to spare. I thought prices were reasonable/normal.

The place has a self-serving style but their food was delicious. We ordered South Indian vegetarian dishes and I loved it, especially sambar as I like mine sweet, sour, and spicy and it had all three components.

Fantastic food and fantastic owners! I annoyingly request mild dishes for my 5 and 6-yr-olds every order and they always accommodate us! Extra garlicky garlic naan, unbeatable goat and lamb...there hasn't been an item we've ordered from here we didn't like. My oldest daughter has chosen this as her birthday dinner the past two years and I don't think that will change anytime soon. See you in late December and almost every week until then!

Amazing food and I got there all the time. Btw they give 10% off 50 or more. Before covid they used to have buffet can't wait for them to open up.

Their goat shuka is the best!!!

I am going to try to write this without getting too emotional, but the tears are already welling up in my eyes. This is THE BEST Indian food that I have ever had in my entire life. My wife and I get takeout here as much as we can. The quality of the food and attention to detail is immaculate. Flavor explosions in your mouth, it is genuinely an out of body experience. The beautiful folks that work there are so kind that they can put a smile on your face even if you are having a terrible day. If you like Indian food this is a must try.

Best Indian food in the 20 mile radius. Real fresh ingredients made from scratch. Their curry chicken is super good and so is their tikka masala. Their naan is fresh from tandoori oven. Will recommend to anyone!

This is our go-to spot for takeout Indian food. Very flavorful with ample portions. My wife is unfamiliar with Indian cuisine and can't take spicy hot food, but got the butter chicken and samosa and enjoyed it. Our Vegan son has good choices as well, and they have a good variety for all. Recommended.

This place is garbage. Ordered chicken 65 and dosa. Food lacked flavor and spices. Tasted awful. The owner didn't even show appreciation. Customer service is trash. I will not go there anymore.

I ordered a dosa and was thinking I was ordering a samosa. I called and they politely explained that I had it wrong. So I tried something different and it was delicious. I will definitely try other things on the menu. Good food, good service!

We've been to Biryani Bowl for the lunch buffet and have enjoyed it, but recently we ordered take out. I've never gotten Indian as a take out option before because I liked the variety of the buffet to try new dishes. My husband and I ordered a few different dishes and enjoyed everything that we ordered! The flavor and spice variety of the dishes we ordered were great!

I've been to Biryani Bowl more than a few times to dine in. Not the fanciest setting but that doesn't bother me none. I come for the delish Indian food. I recommend the butter chicken, mixed grill, butter naan, and shrimp biryani. My guy grabbed takeout yesterday and appreciated the employees' social distancing during this COVID-19 situation.

I've been frequenting this restaurant very often for a few years. I found that it's authentic and completely consistent in quality. What I mean about frequently visiting this restaurant is I have lunch there twice a week, sometimes three times and bringing my wife in on the weekend. The owner is very friendly, very accommodating, the food is just awesome with prices that please too. Highly recommended.

WORST..WORST..WORST
I am a vegetarian, Ordered Malai Kofta & got chicken Masala. When I am complaining, the owner is talking to me with extreme rudeness. I understand mistake happens but such kind of mistake offering a chicken to vegetarian.And, on top of that he is shouting at me.I asked to refund my money and deliver the food at my home. He is saying I won’t give you free food. I mean why? Don’t you have any courtesy. I will never advise to go this restaurant again.

Great local spot for Indian food - be sure to try the lunch buffet

Ambiance:
This is a no-frills sit-down restaurant - real silverware and glasses but no white tablecloth. Pleasant - I enjoy the fact that they have Bollywood movies running on the TVs, adds to the atmosphere.

Food:
The food here is excellent! They have a wide variety of traditional Indian dishes that you'd expect as well as breads/rotis. They also have a display case of cake and desserts. While I've gotten takeout here before, I'd highly recommend the lunch buffet which features 5 or 6 staple dishes, dessert, naan
