  Served stale food even on a weekend, biryani is completely spoiled and stale. Mint chutney is also spoiled. If this is the situation on the weekends, we can only guess what it'll be on the weekdays. Definitely not recommended at all, especially considering that there are better places to eat food. Very bad, and very stale.

  I had a very poor experience with a takeout order here today. The staff provided inaccurate wait times—stating 30 minutes initially, then 10, then 2—resulting in a total wait of 53 minutes. After finally getting home, I discovered the order was incorrect. Instead of the crispy chicken I paid for, I received a different, non-crispy item. Between the long delay and the incorrect order, the experience was highly frustrating.

  The restaurant is located in a good area in Allen. The ambience and indoor seating are very good, and the service is also good. Coming to the food, we ordered samosas first. They were very crunchy, but the taste was good. Next, we ordered mushroom masala with chapathi. The dish tasted good; however, the chapathis were too small, so we had to order extra chapathis. We then ordered paneer biryani, Vijayawada chicken biryani, and chicken dum biryani. The paneer biryani and Vijayawada chicken biryani were good. However, the chicken dum biryani had very raw flavors with too much cinnamon overpowering the taste. I do not recommend the chicken dum biryani here

  ***More hype than taste, honestly.*** We ordered a mix of veg and non-veg dishes: Veg: • Mushroom masala • Paneer biryani Non-veg: • Vijayawada chicken biryani • Dum biryani • Jungle kebabs The kebabs were highly recommended by friends, but unfortunately they were undercooked for us, which was disappointing. The biryanis were a complete letdown — neither the dum, Vijayawada, nor paneer biryani lived up to expectations. None of them had the authentic flavor or texture. Service was okay, but the timing was off. We were told the kebabs would take 30 minutes, yet the biryanis arrived after that, which didn’t make much sense. The only standout dish was the mushroom masala with chapatis — it was genuinely delicious and the best part of the meal. Paan: $3.78 for a paan felt overpriced. It tasted good, but definitely not worth $4. Try it only if you’re really craving one. Overall: Too much hype, very few hits. Mushroom masala saved the experience.

  I usually don’t leave negative reviews and prefer to ignore bad experiences, but this place deserves an honest one. We’ve been here 4–5 times, and unfortunately the staff attitude is consistently arrogant and unwelcoming. It feels less like being served at a restaurant and more like food being dropped on the table for an unwanted guest. The food is decent the first time, but you start liking it less with every visit. On top of that, wrong items were served and not corrected even after asking. Service is extremely slow — be ready to order at least 30 minutes before you actually want to eat. This is not the “desi chicha” vibe at all. The food may be worth trying once, but be prepared for attitude-filled faces and poor service
