Nawab's Restaurant 3750 South Houston Levee Road, Collierville, TN 38017

"This is literally the best Indian food in the Memphis area, and the service can’t be beat."

"We ordered special biryani, gongura chicken, and curry leaf chicken. Curry leaf chicken was excellent. Special biryani had just masala in it with chicken. About 80% was masala. The gongura chicken had no gongura, and we were searching for flavor. Nawab used to be good, not sure what happened. Hope they improve."

"Decided to try a different Indian restaurant, so I called and ordered a dish from this one The 1st thing I noticed when I went to pick it up, is the dirty doors (glass and handle), got in, tables were nasty and sticky, a guy sitting eating with his hands and dropping rice all over himself and the table, I was thinking to just leave without the food. Got the order and honestly, it was horrible. I’ve been a customer of Curry Bowl for years and their food is much better than anywhere else. I will never go back to this restaurant because of hygiene and food quality. Stay clear unless if you don’t mind dirtiness."

"This is just another indian restaurant in Memphis area. They have a grocery store too, called ‘Apna Bazar’. We ordered over phone and picked the food from the restaurant. It was mostly packed when we were there. They have a limited numbers of tables. The food was not ready by the time we reached. So we were waiting. They sell some fresh snack. We were looking for samosa, which was finished by then. So, we bought egg puff. The owner/ staff gave us a free samosa ( the last one in the counter). Which was absolutely a nice gesture from them! We took the food and ate coming in home. My home is about 18 miles drive from there ( I live in the downtown area of Memphis). So the food was not that hot when we reached home.We got chicken dum biriyani, chicken fried rice and chili chicken. The fried rice and chili chicken was decent, more like a home made food. The biriyani was terrific. All the portion sizes were very good, as compared to the price we paid. We will go back definitely. Update: try their chicken fry biriyani. It’s good, except the fact that it’s too spicy for me. Maybe you could request them to put less spice. The Apollo fish fry is also superb, if it would have been a little less spicy. One another r thing - they make the best samosa in Memphis, for sure."

"Probably one of the best boneless fried chicken biryani in town (if you haven’t already, try their special chicken biryani). They do have a seating area but I’d consider this place strictly a takeout place. They have weekend specials as well such as afghani chicken biryani. They also have some snacks and mango lassi for your sides. Apart from the biryanis, I didn’t really like anything else on the menu but the biryani is soo good it keeps bringing me back to this place for some late night take out biryani and Netflix during winter. Plenty of parking available and the grocery store next door is connected to this restaurant internally."
