"Charminar always the best most explosive flavors! The 70. Tandoori Chicken is always perfect and you can't beat the buy-1 get-1 free deal! The 57. Lamb Jalfrezi is packed with flavor and I serve over my own cauliflower rice because I live a ketogenic low-carb lifestyle just so I can soak up all the sauce from the Jalfrezi. The 74. Lamb Sheek Kabab we're absolutely amazing for some reason, though I ordered medium spice level and this dish appeared to be either hot or spicy which I love. I ate it no matter what it just felt. The spice level was a little higher than medium, but it was amazing. I would definitely order everything again. This is my second experience with this restaurant and they have never let me down yet. Their portions are perfect, no complaints... I think I'm in love with Charminar Biriyani House"
"One of my earliest introductions to Indian food, and after trying many places, the best Indian food I've had since! They seem to have strict quality standards which I appreciate. I always get the goat biryani, (and sometimes a paneer paratha,) but pretty much anything you get will be good."

"First time trying this place and I was pleased. Glad I opted for nonspicy because it originally had the perfect amount of spice for my liking. The chicken was super tender and the flavor was awesome! I'm getting at least two portions out of it. "
"I ordered the Chicken 65 and 2 sides of butter sauce (5oz). The chicken was flavorful, but the butter sauce tasted extremely bland and watered down. Both portion sizes were quite small. I did not feel this was a good value."

"Chose Mild Spice (heat) for everything. Ample Pint sized portions with a side of fluffy rice. Malai Kofta is an herbed dumpling in a rich velvety kiss of yellow coconut curry sauce. Aloo Matar & Gobi is a yummy red curry veggie medley. The Chef Mix Platter for 2 spice level has a tetch more heat-but is a nice appetizer sampler. The Mawa-Chom-Chom is a warm, soft and spongy, mildly sweet, farmers cheese roll. The Mango Lassi is a creamy sweet smoothy. "
"I've dined in and ordered takeout out, and in both cases I've been disappointed by the portions relative to the price. The butter chicken doesn't taste like it has any strained yogurt. It also doesn't come with much chicken, especially for the price! Additionally I was very excited for the GF naan but it doesn't have a naan texture. It's dense and chewy? The price of 5$ for a piece of bread felt a bit steep. I understand it's a specialty item though."

"✨️Delicious! Everything! The Badham Milk was sooooo good, and the Malabari Paratha were *to die for.* This was my first time having both of those things, and they did wonderfully. It all came packaged very neatly Do note that the biryani's salan contains peanuts."
"This place goes above and beyond. Coming from a former legitimate chef, not just a title but a lifestyle, the people who run this establishment know what they are doing and their pride reflects in the food they deliver. And this place DELIVERS. The sauces are perfect; the Chicken Tikka Masala is thick with spices, both chutney that came with the Veg Samosa are perfect, the samosas themselves are crispy and fresh. Bringing a sauce of any kind to the table correctly can exhaust a kitchen- but they do not get exhausted here. This is what they do, and they do it best. Their rice is fluffy and prepared on point. It is all made fresh, there is no question. The Garli Naan is incredible. Most other places, it would dry out immediately. Not this restaurant. Their Butter Naan and Butter Naan hold their rich flavor and doughy grilled texture until the next day. I ordered all these things last night, and it was beyond words I can articulate to describe how amazing everything tasted and satisfied. So I ordered them all again today and it was as consistent with all the bliss they served up yesterday. The portions are on point, they made the food swiftly, and I will be returning frequently."

"The Mix Veg Pakora was really good! 😋 It was crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. I loved the mix of vegetables, and it tasted even better with the chutney. Definitely a great appetizer to start with. Would order it again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
"The food was very flavorful, and well packed. The portion of Chicken Tikka kebab was about the usual, but the Aloo Gobi Mattar was on the small size for a vegetarian entree. It also lacked any mattar (peas) at all, which was disappointing. We only received one half-full container of rice, despite having 2 entrees. The highlight of the meal was the Potato Samosa - 2pcs... they were delicious!"

Very spicy, if you aren't into spice it may be too much for you! So happy to have found a Indian restaurant that doesn't serve meat!! "
