I’ve been coming to this place regularly since my freshman year through sophomore year, and it has consistently exceeded my expectations every single time. The food here is simply outstanding, from the incredible taste to the freshness of every dish. You can tell they truly care about quality. My personal favorite is the Gongura Goat Biryani. It has the perfect balance of tangy bitterness from the gongura and tender, perfectly cooked mutton, something that is honestly hard to find these days in Indian restaurants in the U.S. The flavors are rich, authentic, and incredibly satisfying. Every bite genuinely feels like I’m back in India enjoying a home style meal. The portion sizes are generous too, which makes the experience even better. All of their starters are delicious, and the thali is also fantastic if you want a full traditional experience. But the biryani is an absolute must try. Overall, this restaurant stands out as one of the best. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food.

Why is my Gobi 65 SOGGY??? Gross! This is supposed to be CRISPY!!!! The chilli paneer doesn't taste very good at all, the Gobi 65 is way too HOT, asked for medium, this is like FIRE. Can't even eat the Gobi because it's SO SOGGY, yuck. The garlic naan is OK, needs blackened for a little crispness. Will NOT be back , $50+ down the drain...

The food especially the biryani was amazing and the flavors are perfect.
I tried out the extra spicy chicken fry biryani and have tried it multiple times and was never disappointed.
And they have great service and it’s nice that they cook biryani as per order, might be why their taste is consistent and good.

The absolute best Indian restaurant in Arizona. To be honest probably the best Indian spot I’ve ever been into in my life. And I’m desi and from nyc so that’s saying a lot. The chef is an absolute gem. His food is literally to die for! The host/waiter Kiron is amazing too, very kind, hospitable, and a cool dude. Definitely come give this place a try. Don’t look at the “bad” rating. That rating is definitely untrue and disingenuous. Or, if it is true, they’ve definitely improved tremendously and is a top tier lowkey gem. There bathroom is supper clean too so that’s definitely a plus. I was here last year with my cousin bc we have a Airbnb here in phoenix, found this spot and literally had their food 4 times during a 10 day spot. Came back this year, and had it again. Amazing amazing food!

I ordered the samosa chaat, which was soggy, and the mutton biryani didn’t taste authentic. Overall, the food was just okay and not really worth it—improving the preparation process could make the experience much better.

I went to this place on a Wednesday afternoon with a group of 6 people with very high expectations..but to my surprise, there was not a single person in the whole restaurant..not even a fly...after around 5 mins..one person came..we asked him of the restaurant is open..he said yes and thn went inside and didn't come back for another 10 mins..we all sat there like fools and ended up leaving the place in search of another option. Please think twice before making any plans to visit this place.
We loved the goat dum biryani, also liked the special chicken dum biryani.

Ordered to go from here and got the Paradise Special Dum Biryani & the curry leaf chicken appetizer.
The boneless chicken pieces in the biryani were good. The rice had some kind of dostinct oily flavour. Felt like the oil they used to make this biryani has been reused multiple times.
The curry leaf chicken appetizer was more like a chicken curry than an appetizer and i could taste no curry leaf flavor in it. I even got a hair in the appetizer. I request the owners to make sure their chefs use hair nets, which is a very basic hygiene measure 🙏🏻

Ordered chicken 65 and boneless chicken Dum biryani, both were horrible chicken 65 was tangy and for biryani they put rice on same chicken 65 and served it to us in to go box for dine in. Never coming back or will recommend to anyone. The worst part was the price on the bill was more than what was stated in menu.

I had high hopes, but this was a major letdown. The biryani was nowhere close to authentic — it tasted more like plain curry mixed with rice rather than a proper layered biryani. Completely lacked the flavor, aroma, and texture you expect. Definitely wouldn’t recommend trying it. Very disappointing.
