Biryani & Chaat

"I have eaten a lot of biryani but none so like this! The rice and meat were so moist and tender. The flavors were subtle yet so vivid. I LOVED that they used actual chicken (not tenders or cubed chicken) I'm not sure the placement but I'm assuming the chicken had to be the drumstick meat bc of the texture. Extremely savory! The rice was cooked well and it was very fragrant as well as tasty. I also received a very large portion as well. The other dish was delicious, I should have requested for more spice but it was good the way it came. I am used to ordering it as a paste but this resturant makes it thick which was fun to eat. I took my food to go but saw that it was nice and clean inside. I'd definitely return just to eat here again! I'm really glad I found them!"

"WOW. Worth all the 5-star reviews it has!! We were so excited to try as this place is right by our house. We used to have a favorite restaurant in Roseville but it has just been blown out of the water. The staff is so incredibly kind and friendly, and you can tell they’re very passionate about the food they’re serving. We learned so much from asking about their recommendations. Food came quick, was jam packed with flavor and cooked to perfection!!! Best naan I’ve ever had. So thin and cripsy on bottom but melt in your mouth on top. Great prices and generous portions. Will be back!!!"

"You’ve got to try this place! Quick and friendly service and a big, delicious menu! We had the Mughals fish biryani, the chicken vindaloo, and a special yogurt and lentil appetizer they only have on weekends. Also a lychee dessert! We will be back to try all the things we didn’t get this time."

"This is a lovely new restaurant, the staff was very lovely and kind. They were more than happy to answer any questions we had. Portion sizes are great. We had plenty for our meal and leftovers for the next day. I got takeout but the restaurant has beautiful natural light with windows open to a little greenery area that I would totally come back to sit next to. The pakora was very good. Really appreciated that each piece was decent size and tasty. We got medium spice which if you're between medium and mild I'd suggest going mild because their med has a bit of a kick in a good way. Lovely flavors and would come back."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Biryani & Chaat, located at 4800 Granite Dr B-11 in Rocklin, CA, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by Alex and Gary, who are absolutely amazing managers and clearly passionate about their restaurant. The first thing that struck me was the authenticity of this South Indian gem. As someone who loves Tamil Nadu cuisine, I was thrilled to see such a wide array of delicious dishes on the menu. I started my culinary journey with the onion pakoras, and let me tell you, they were divine! Crisp, flavorful, and reminiscent of my mom's homemade cooking, these pakoras melted in my mouth with each bite. To complement the appetizers, I tried the Badam-geer, an almond drink that took me straight to drink heaven! The chunks of real almond were a delightful surprise, adding a unique touch to this already heavenly beverage. For the main course, I indulged in the Paneer Kadai and 2 Bhature, and wow, what a treat it was! The kadai paneer was hands down the best I've ever tasted, perfectly spiced and made with fresh, authentic ingredients. The generous amount of ghee added a richness to the dish that elevated its flavors to another level. The crispy capsicum pieces were a delightful contrast, adding a burst of freshness to each bite. And the bhature? Fluffy, soft, and simply irresistible! To round off this culinary adventure, I savored some authentic filter coffee that transported me back to the days of my mom's lovingly brewed coffee. The service throughout my meal was friendly and efficient, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. One of the best parts about Biryani & Chaat is that all this deliciousness comes at very reasonable prices, making it a true gem in the Rocklin community. I cannot recommend this place enough and am so glad to see such a fantastic addition to our culinary landscape. Biryani & Chaat has definitely won me over as a loyal customer, and I can't wait to return for another taste of their incredible dishes!"
