| - I'm writing an updated review for Hyderabadi Biryani House to reflect my experience ordering off-menu, rather than just the buffet. For a full review on the buffet, read my earlier 4-star review.
I mentioned in my earlier review that I felt like the buffet version of Hyderabadi Biryani House's dishes were a little more bland than I'd like, and that's true as they are catering the buffet to a wide range of tastes.
I decided to try ordering takeout from Hyderabadi Biryani House for the first time just a few weeks ago, and it was FANTASTIC and perfectly spiced! I ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Korma, medium-spicy, and both dishes were incredibly flavorful and delicious, rivaling the more upscale (and pricey) Blue Taj in quality.
I also ordered Samosas, just one serving, and was delighted to find they provide three full-sized Samosas in one order, instead of the two I was expecting.
While their Samosa quantity for one order is overly generous, one order of naan is one single flatbread, so if two of you are dining out, be sure to place one order of naan per person if you're into naan as much as I am.
The takeout portions of the main dishes exactly werewhat I expected, if not just a little generous, while the rice portion for 2 was just a little less than we ended up needing. It was easy enough to make some additional rice for my leftover meal.
Which brings me to another great thing about the portions provided for takeout: If I eat judiciously, there's usually enough for me to bring for lunch the next day, especially if we get an order of Samosas! I love that I can get 2 meals out of one order.
I've tried most Indian restaurants in the area, and Hyderabadi Biryani House is my favorite. Their prices are the most reasonable, and their food and portions are the best. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this restaurant, for either the buffet, or for carryout/dine-in!
