  Biryani is unique given so many choices of Indian restaurants in Naperville. Size of biryani is impressive for the price. One order is large enough for a family of 2 and 3 if the 3rd is a small kid (under 6 years old). Their house special biryani is the best.

  We had an amazing experience at Bowl O Biryani! The food was incredibly delicious and the ambiance was great. We ordered the Butter Chicken, Andhra Chicken, and the House Special Biryani—everything tasted fantastic! Honestly, it was one of the best biryanis I’ve eaten in a long time. What really blew us away, though, was the service. The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to interact with my 16-month-old son, making him feel so special. Exceptional food and wonderful hospitality. We will definitely be back!

  The food and service was great! We enjoyed the chicken tikka masala and the house special biryani bowl, with a side of garlic naan of course. Flavors were fresh, portions were beyond ample. Can’t wait to come back and enjoy some new dishes.

  We came here after watching Bramharambha’s reel and were pleasantly surprised to find out that she was actually our server. The ambience feels unique and pleasant, especially with the wall posters and overall vibe. We started with the Asian Fusion Chicken ,it was packed with good Indian spice and is definitely a must try item. Later, we tried the Mirchi Chicken Kebab, which unfortunately was the weakest dish we ordered. It lacked flavor, didn’t feel marinated properly, and seemed like it was quickly coated and cooked in the tandoor. Some pieces also felt undercooked. To finish, we had their house special biryani. The goat pieces were slightly over-burnt in a few bites, but the overall flavor of the biryani was really good and enjoyable. The portion size was also decent enough for two people.

  Highly recommended!! This is a phenomenal restaurant, with a diverse selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items (and a few egg dishes listed under meats that would be OK for those who follow lacto-ovo). As a vegetarian, I found the menu especially exciting due to the presence of several dishes that are very hard to encounter in a meatless configuration. Jackfruit Haleem was an intoxicating start to dinner, with the right consistency, complexity of spice, and a bit of unexpected-but-welcome sweetness (presumably from the jackfruit). Following, we indulged in Mudda Pappu Avakaya Annam, a bit mellower but richly savory and punchily tart, complemented by the comfort of fresh omelet and paper-thin, unadorned papad. Delicious all-around. For the main course, two very special vegetarian adaptations: A Spinach "Liver-style" Masala and vegetarian Keema Biryani. Brilliant! Spinach Masala was executed in the general style of Kaleji Masala, but if you are imagining a handful of frozen spinach wandering haplessly through a bland tomato stew, you will be pleased to know this is hardly the case. Instead, what you will receive is a firey curry, almost too assertive, tempered beautifully by delicate spinach dumplings that retain their form until the critical moment when they unfurl gently on consumption. Imagine something more akin in texture to downy kofta or stuffed gnocchi, as opposed to firm pakora. Taken together, these two elements play off each other exceptionally well, balancing finely texture and taste. A delicacy. Lots of meat substitute products lend themselves well to keema preparation, of course, and I suspect many do this at home, as I do. However, giving this the full biryani treatment requires a level of commitment and free time I can't hope to have until retirement (if even then). What a delight, therefore, to find this on the menu. It's a nice alternative to the more common vegetable biryanis, and quite enjoyable when raita and salan are provided. By the way, the staff are very friendly, and quite enthusiastic about the food. The environment was spotless, and the moody, vibrant interior instantly scrubbed away any notion of being in a strip mall. In sum, please do treat yourself to the unique offerings at this great establishment! I'm excited to return.
