I ordered chicken Kabob! It was tasty, the cashier is technically the server as well. Restaurant is not maintained well, bathrooms are always dirty, I saw bugs/mini cockroach on the wall with is of course disgusting!!!! They could do a better job maintaining the restaurant and hire really professional server!!!! I give them 3 stars…..

Unfortunately, our visit to Bismillah restaurant fell far below expectations. Despite the initial hype, the food was a letdown. The karahi had a strange odor that was off-putting, and none of the ten people in our group enjoyed their meals. It's disappointing when a highly anticipated dining experience turns out to be such a letdown. Hopefully, the restaurant can address these issues and improve in the future."

We visited with a large family of 12 people for iftar. I called in advance to reserve tables, and the staff was very professional. An hour before our arrival, I pre-ordered food and requested it to be ready for iftar. The person on the phone mentioned complimentary dates, pakoras, and Rooh Afza drink . Upon arrival, everything was served promptly. We broke our fast and enjoyed fresh, hot meals along with delicious naans, especially the Roghni naan. The staff were exceptionally polite and provided quick service. I have seen some negative comments about food being served late, it's because they prepare everything fresh. Ordering ahead will help ! Their tandoori dishes and seekh kebabs were fresh and flavorful. I rate this place 100/100. They also have free Chai ! The only improvement I suggest is having a prayer area and cleaner bathrooms.I will Always come back for authentic Pakistani food !
Went in for lunch on a Saturday and despite it being the weekend the food & service was top notch. Definitely the best authentic Pakistani food in

I went there because one of my acquaintance said this was better than another famous restaurant in Fremont. I didn't find it that great. The tandoori was okay, biryani was bland at its best. The ambience is not for something to go & eat but probably takeaway.

Excellent! High quality, flavorful, deliciousness. Friendly service and reasonable prices. Will come back soon. Thanks!!!
Went here because of all the hype and idk it wasn't all that for me. The food tasted pretty basic. It wasn't like super tasty as Pakistani food should taste. Everything is self-serve (plates, utensils, water, and chai). We ordered Chicken biryani which was ok. It smelled like biryani but the taste wasn't there. Had 3 very small chicken pieces so overall it's (6/10). Also got bhunna ghost (5/10), haleem (6/10), Chicken kofta (3/10), chicken seekh kabob (9/10), chicken tandoori (8/10), naan (10/10).
Never ordering again. Ordered vegetarian biryani from Bismillah last night. My sister and I ate small portion of biryani since we were not that hungry and decided to eat rest of the biryani the next day. The next day whilst eating the same biryani we discovered an unusual food item in our biryani which we could not recognise, (since we are familiar with the cuisine/dish and also have appropriate knowledge about spices too) It is also to be noted that, we have ordered multiple times from the restaurant and this was the first time that we have experienced this and we can affirm that we have found the said alleged item in our biryani upon confirmation from our family member who eats meat, it was confirmed that it was infact meat pieces in our vegetarian biryani.I am utterly disgusted by the unprofessional service of the restaurant and their carelessness. This is seriously unacceptable and as a vegetarian, who does not believe in hurting animals in any form. We demand a sincere apology from the restaurant for providing a poor quality service and food and for hurting our sentiments and I hope it never happens to any one else.

Came into the restaurant about an hour before they closed. The small space was busy and a result they were out of tea, spoons and other self serve items. We ordered the tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, beef kabobs, naan, and lamb biryani.Roughly 15 minutes after ordering we were given two chicken kabobs. When we told the staff we had ordered beef on chicken they said they were sold out of beef so they gave us chicken instead.As for the other items, only the lamb biryani was good. The tandoori chicken was flavorless, the chicken tikka masala was subpar, and somehow even the naan was lacking the fluffy texture and tandoori char flavor and was dense.Would not advise coming here

Best goat biryani ever after coming USA. Today will try more variety in menu. Hopefully would be again wise decision. No sitting place. Only take out is recommended. Sitting is shabby for family.
