"This review is for mutton dum biryani that is available only Fri through Sunday. Been in the bay for over 15 years and tasted every popular place in south bay and east bay, I would say this is the truly authentic dum biryani I ever had. They use fresh goat meat, hence succulent with perfect amount of spices. As you open the box you get a smell of cloves and cardamom. The salan and raita is on the thinner side which is how it should be. You have option to order double masala which makes it on the spicier side. From now onwards this would be my go to place for dum Biryani. One improvement they can do is use bigger box. As you take it in the plate it creates a mess. "
"We bought family pack which was good enough for 4 adults. The biriyani had a lot of succulent and masala claded chicken pieces. Chicken pakoda was cherry on top with the biriyani. I would recommend both for anyone who wants to give Ustaad biriyani a try. "

"I was not expecting the irani chai to be of such high quality, I hope they maintain it."
"The Paneer 65 Roll was flavorful and hearty. Crispy paneer pieces coated in a mildly spicy sauce, wrapped with fresh onions and a soft paratha — perfect balance of crunch, spice, and creaminess. You get that street-food vibe but in a cleaner, more consistent package. The Irani Chai was the star for me — rich, creamy, and slightly sweet with a subtle hint of cardamom. It complemented the spicy roll perfectly and added that nostalgic café-style finish."
