Biryaniz

"According to this Biriyaniz outlet, Vijaywada chicken biriyani == some dry Biriyani rice adorned with very subpar tasting butter chicken curry layer on top. Seems like others also had this experience which means they probably do this on purpose."

"Excellent food. The chicken tikka is a must try here, it was not overcooked and juicy , the crust was out of this world and the flavor was 10/10. The pani puri here is the best I had in the bay area, it is spicy, so if your spice tolerance is low, just ask for sweet water only and you'll have a great time. The chicken biryani was decent 4/5. They do not have proper cutlery , bowls and plates, they use disposable takeaway containers and plates, so keep that in mind. The food is really good though."

"I ordered to go food items today with Veggie Biryani and excitedly ordered Andhra Dal seeing it in the menu. The food made me think if really this is Andhra Dal or just boiled dal and they forgot to mix anything else in it including salt. After coming home, when I tasted it was the most horrible bland dal which even a sick person wouldn't eat. I had to add and recook it with basic spices and salt to make it palatable. Please see the pics attached of before and after dal. I was wondering what's the point of getting dal and paying for it if I have to work on it at home. Biryani was ok with overpowering garam masala. I don't think after taking dal from this restaurant I will even try dal in coming times. Service was just pick up and ambiance was ok. The two stars are just because of Biryani."

"I’m a big fan of Biryaniz and after moving to San Joaquin county, I missed late night Biryani a lot. When I saw Biryaniz shop in Livermore, I got excited and tried immediately. I went for dine-in. Usually they’ll provide ceramic plates in any restaurant for dine-in. Here they gave a plastic plate and Biryani came in plastic to go box, even though i’m literally present in the restaurant, hot biryani served in plastic box. I could able to lift the box and serve using plastic spoon since it was very hot. Second concern was taste, it was really bad. The Vijayawada chicken dum biryani doesn’t have any salt, spices. It was really blunt. By all seeing this I don’t think this is authentic Biryaniz shop which is present in Bay Area. I also think the five stars reviews should be fake ones put up by the restaurant owners friends and family"

"I opted for the Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan. The Butter Chicken was creamy, with just the right balance of spices, and the naan bread was soft and aromatic. Special Chicken Biryani is really Specialllll !"
