This is pseudo authentic, or read as authentic it can be in San Diego. It is in a grocery store, no frills, almost like a cafeteria. You order at the counter and wait for your food. They cook to order for each, unlike many Indian restaurants. They also taste more like a proper desi one. The family biriyani package is excellent, when you are too tired and your weekend cooked food is either over or too stale. Have to try out their other offerings.

Appreciate the efforts of this team to try and cater to the community. While the items are decent and the staff very friendly, something needs to be done about how long it takes to get the order ready. There's been a couple of instances of delayed preparation and it clearly needs some attention.

This Indian restaurant initially showed promise but has lately declined. The samosas we ordered seemed smaller than before, and it appeared they were reheated from frozen. Additionally, the extended wait time, especially when one order was for takeout and the other for dining in, left us waiting for both dishes for 25 minutes.

We did take away after visiting San Diego Zoo during our trip. The food was so delicious. We loved the biryani and appetizers. Kazu Kodi, Vijayawada Chicken Biryani were top among different items we tried.
The place serves a wide variety of biryanis. The taste is OK and nothing great. Basically they make different kinds of biryani curries and then layer rice on top. Not a big fan.

Food tastes delicious. Good quantity for the price. This is located inside Namaste Plaza grocery store so don’t expect a proper restaurant vide. But overall we liked it. Even my kid loved their biryanis and starters.

Recently Ordered paneer briyani family pack takeout there weren't any traces of briyani spices added very less masala and rice given separately had to mix didn't even have flavors and taste of briyani. Previously Ordered a take out of chilli gobi briyani was average in taste. Got Just saffron flavored cooked basmati rice mixed with chilli gobi. Once took out onion pakora and had pani poori they were reasonably good in taste so 3 stars for these quick bites. Briyani didn't match my expectations. Will be good if they could improve.

I am a vegetarian and this place has plenty options for veg Biryanis and food. All of them are great, I would recommend Vijaywada Paneer Biryani with extra masala.The staff here is great and always make sure my experience is great.Must visit if you haven’t tried it yet! Budding Biryani place in San Diego
Weekend pani puri is amazing. Just wow!I feel like rest of the food was better during the beginning days of opening than now. But it’s still pretty good.

Got chicken 65 biriyani. To be honest, lemon rice is 1000 times better than this biriyani and chicken was rinsed in lemon juice over a week. The worst food I ever

Bold claim going by the name Mr. Biryani. As soon as I saw 20 different biryanis on the menu, I should have turned around. The rice is not cooked along with the meat, so there is no flavor. Rice was dry and over cooked, salaan and raitha were watery and tasteless. The only good part of our meal were the fresh samosas. Mutton biryani had 2 pieces of mutton and rest only bones, chicken was very dry. Go to Charminar or Paradise, this place isn't worth it.
Must try chicken fry piece and Nethi Mamsam roast
