Tonight was our first time to Biryani and Beyond. The food and service was amazing. 65 Chicken was amazing. We also had Vegetable Korma, Paneer Tika Masala and Chicken Karahi all with a side of garlic naan. The food and service was amazing. We will definitely be back. Looking forward to trying the weekend buffet.

This is our first time to this new (to us) restaurant in Fair Oaks. All 4 dishes that we ordered were excellent. We will definitely be back!

This is a local restaurant in our neighborhood that has gone through a few different incarnations of Indian cuisine. We decided to give it a try but were somewhat disappointed. We opted for the buffet to to get an assortment and try different things. The dishes and flavors were good but the food was lukewarm. We were supposed to get butter naan with our meal but it never came out. We finished our meal and I mentioned the missed naan to the hostess and she offered it as a takeout but we were over it. $25 per person for mediocre food is a pass. We'll give it another try with entrees off the menu.

I recently tried the biryani and karahi at Biryani and Beyond, and the food was amazing.
• The biryani was flavorful, fragrant, and perfectly cooked.
• The karahi had tender meat with rich, authentic spices.
• The service was friendly and fast.
• The restaurant was clean and had a comfortable atmosphere.

Overall, great taste and great value for the price.
Highly recommended — I will definitely visit again!

We visited for their weekend buffet, which ends at 3:30 pm, and arrived around 2:40 pm. While the buffet offered biryani, pakoras, samosas, tandoori chicken, and Bihari chicken, several key accompaniments were missing, there was no raita, and no chutney until we requested it. Some of the barbecue items on the buffet were dry, though the flavors were very good; fresh servings would have made a big difference.

Service unfortunately fell short. The servers did not check in to offer more naan or water, and we had to request refills for items that were already empty on the buffet, even though staff were actively monitoring it. When we asked for a second serving of naan, we were given reheated, older naan instead of fresh. Additionally, there were no kid friendly options and the overall variety felt limited compared to other buffets.

Overall, the food we tried was tasty, but better service and more attentive refilling of buffet items would greatly improve the experience.

I can't believe how delicious the food was here. I took a friend to the lunch buffet on a Friday and ended up coming back on Saturday to take my husband and children. The biryani was especially delicious! The spices were so perfect and the ingredients were nice and fresh. It was a little bit spicy for my kids but they happily ate anyway cause it tasted so good. The service was excellent. They made the naan fresh and made sure we had everything we needed. This is definitely going to be one of the places my family goes to regularly.

One of Best Non-veg Biryanis and Lunch Buffet!
Food taste and quality are top notch.
Tandoori chicken was very flavorful and different from other lunch buffets( it does not have the irritating red food color and the typical taste).
Chicken biryani was awesome. Fresh naan, chicken tikka masala were all too good.
I previously ordered a mutton biryani for a takeout. It was delicious.

They recently started the lunch buffet. I wish them luck and hope they maintain the same taste and food quality over time :)

I visited this restaurant yesterday with my family and had an amazing experience! We ordered Mutton Karahi, Chicken Tandoori, Bihari Chicken Kabab, Chicken Tikka Masala, Pakistani biryani and Matka Chai, everything was absolutely delicious and freshly cooked. All the dishes were served together, hot and flavorful, which made our meal even more enjoyable.

The customer service was outstanding, it truly felt like being at home. The lady at the front desk was exceptionally polite and attentive, going above and beyond to make sure every customer left with a smile. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, and the background music added a warm, welcoming touch to the atmosphere.

I’m already planning to come back soon to try their Mandi and Buffet. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves great food, excellent service, and a cozy environment!

The dum biryani was like a piece of heaven in a bowl. Wow. The Papri Chaat was unique, ive never had something that tasted like that. The tamarind chutney brought it all together.

Today we order 15 Tawa Roti at the restaurant. When we eat roti they all are not properly baked. Please check properly when you deliver food to customer.
