Overall, my experience at Pista Hous was a bit of a mixed bag. I ordered the Haleem, Lamb Biryani, and butter naan. The Lamb Biryani was the highlight of the meal, with tender meat, fluffy rice, and perfectly balanced spices. However, the same couldn't be said for the naan, which was disappointingly store-bought and left a bad taste in my mouth from the start. It's frustrating when restaurants serve items that can easily be bought elsewhere for a fraction of the price. The Haleem was decent, but it was overly spiced and had an excessive amount of oil. Additionally, finding pieces of bone while eating was a bit off-putting. While the Lamb Biryani was impressive, the lackluster naan and issues with the Haleem make it unlikely that I'll be returning anytime soon.

Briyani was excellent, fragrant rice, the spice level was up there, if you like it spicy, the lamb was boneless, well marinated. I’ll definitely be back for more

You gotta try the biryani nizam! The meat is tender, juicy, tasty, and very spicy.

Please don't show the customer the menu with the lower price. Your menu at the counter, next to the register, shows a lower price. The real price is not revealed until the receipt is printed.

We went to Pista House in Artesia and ordered chicken biryani. The taste was really awesome! After a year, we finally got to enjoy some delicious biryani outside.

their biryani is one of the best I've ever had! The aroma alone was captivating, and from the first bite, I knew this was going to impress. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, with each spice complementing the other, creating an explosion of taste that lingered long after the meal was over. The tenderness of the chicken the fragrant rice, and raita made every bite phenomenal. The ambiance of the place added to the whole experience. The friendly staff and prompt service made me feel right at home.

food is pretty good. but the guy needs to learn some manners. a 50+ year old woman comes to pick up food and he just points her to where her order was. get off your ass and hand it to the lady, man. basic manners. they are giving you business, don't forget that.

This is my first and last time ordering from this place... the food was not warm, the butter chicken was red from the inside, very fatty and not even tender. I do not recommend, worst Indian food. I was disgusted and disappointed.

Tried their Nizami Chicken Biryani. It was pretty good and flavorful. However giving this place a 3 star only because when we went during lunch hour on A weekend. Almost half of the items were "not available" according to the person taking the order. That part was a bit disappointing, & had to settle for whatever was available... Hopefully next time I plan on trying this out, don't run into the same issue again.
