Literally the most disgusting food I have ever had in my life. We ordered the hot and sour soup, fried rice, chicken tikka masala, naan and chicken 65
If you’re going to make food that tastes literally nothing like it is supposed to - why bother trying? The hot and sour soup tasted like Shaan masala and water. The chicken 65 was soggy. The fried rice just tasted like siracha mixed with rice. I had to spit out the chicken tikka masala and tasted again like Shaan masala and water mixed with chicken. The meat was rubbery and tasted old with an odor
Naan tasted like it was from Trader Joe’s but they didn’t even warm it right and was gross and sticky
The waitresses were useless, rude, and gave Luke warm water after we had to ask. Brought each meal one by one and it literally tasted awful.

Last night we ordered two biryanis and a couple of sides, expecting a decent meal. But where do I even begin? The biryani was a complete disaster – tasteless, lacking any real flavor, with overcooked, and extreme dry. And that onion raita? Calling it “raita” is generous – it was clearly spoiled.
If that wasn’t enough, every single bite was a constant assault of whole spices – cardamom, cloves, you name it. Not once could we enjoy a bite without crunching down on one of those overpowering spices. I honestly don’t know if the chef even tasted the dish before sending it out. It was supposed to be biryani, but what we got was nothing short of frustrating, disappointing, and barely edible.

Biryani rice was perfect 👌 Meat was very bad 👎 burnt and rubbery Masala was not good.

Our experience with the paneer dishes was excellent. You should try biryanis for sure.

We travelled from so long and came late night for dinner, but they made us sit and made us comfortable. Chef Prathap is absolutely 10/10. Thank you Chef Prathap for the best delicious food and your hospitality is so heart warming

They serves delicious, flavorful biryani with a great variety of options. The food is consistently good, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for a hearty meal.
We’ve been ordering Shrimp Roast Biryani for the last couple of years on a weekly basis and it’s been our favorite. Since the last 2-3 months, the quality and taste of the food has been worse and we are no longer going back there. Most of our friends have the same opinion as well. I wish they bring back the old quality; taste and chef if changed!

It was my first time going to 21 Biriyani Pots. I ordered the Lamb Biriyani (dine in) and the Chicken Hakka Noodles (to go).
The Lamb Biriyani was great. Flavorful, aromatic, plenty of lamb pieces that were juicy and moist. Would definitely recommend trying!
The Chicken Hakka Noodles were quite average.
After the order had been placed the owner told me they were out of the usual noodles and he had to use glass noodles instead. If he had told me this before I ordered them I wouldn't have gotten them. Since I ordered this as a "to go" order I only tried them after I got home.
Maybe it would've been better at the restaurant but the noodles were dry and didn't taste like Hakka Noodles at all. The leftover Biriyani on the other hand tasted just as good at home as it did at the restaurant.
My recommendation is to stick with the restaurant's namesake dishes (Biriyani) as the other items don't appear to be in their wheelhouse and won't taste like what you'd expect.
Great service, friendly people. 😊

Biryani is not fresh, it tastes like frozen, and restaurant is always empty with no customers when we go there.
