I have been going to that place for a very long time. I think just recently they changed the management. Also, the quality of food has been done graded. Most probably, there is a cost saving. Involved . And the food was very salty. Even I told them mild . One thing I need to mention here? The portion of food also has been cut in half. I'm not going anymore on that place. I have to look for some other places, unfortunately very sad.

Below average food. Manchurian was too spicy and not Manchurian sauce. I am surprised by the food they serve in Bay Area.

Yummy, quick and inexpensive Indian food. Their lunch combo is perfect and comes with dessert.

Update: After recent change in management/ ownership, the food quality has gone bad. I don't think I will be going there again.Earlier the different spice levels were mild, medium and spicy. Now they are Spicy, Super Spicy, Super Duper Spicy.The fried rice were either undercooked or stale. Hard to find chicken in chicken fried rice and noodles.

This review is explicitly for their Less Spicy Chicken Fried rice. .I have orders few times here because it’s very close to my home . If you are looking forward for a some good food after a long day , their less spicy chicken fried rice won’t make your day better because it’s super spicy and no flavor .I had few other dishes like Vindaloo which are good .

Service is always friendly although they sometimes don't speak much English. The food is great for a good price, like the biryani and curries. The naan and pakora is also good although I prefer to just have rice.

We came from another city to get biryani from Fremont location and both veg biryani and chicken biryani were tasteless! Even though we requested a spicy version, they gave us a heap of plain rice and a little masala underneath that had no taste. Don't understand why would a business do that after increasing prices. We called them and they hung up the phone in between and when we called again there was not an ounce of remorse. Sorry you not only lost a customer but gathered bad reviews for saving few $$

I have ordered a chicken biryani but I think this meal should be called rice biryani bc what I've got is the plastic box full of rice and just two pieces of chicken lol. If you are really hungry I do not recommend to go there unless you in love with rice. Also spices seemed to me expired and I actually had a stomach ache after being a customer of Biryani Bowl. Will never recommend it to anyone.

This is another hidden gem for delicious food. It's small, unassuming store front in a strip mall that doesn't really attract attention may lead one to think it's not a place to seek out, but it is!Our party had somosa chaat, fresh garlic Naan, onion kulcha, chicken Tikka and paneer gongura.They were all fantastic. Really.We had not had gongura before and found it a bit spicier than we like, but the flavor was delicious.The chicken Tikka was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the chana masala was also, with a nice coriander flavor.While we sat and waited for our order,there was a constant flow of people coming in to pick up food.The man we ordered from was friendly and willing to give us advice when we asked for it on what we might like, and we enjoyed talking with him.Any review that says negative things about their food may be from someone who does not know how to appreciate these flavors or perhaps may not want others to find this yummy food. A must try restaurant!
Biryani Bowl catered our wedding, the owner Praveen came personally to our event with two amazing staff members who made sure everyone consistently had a glass of wine including us!. Everyone was raving about the food!! From the start, Praveen was special he was the first to return our call and sceduled an amazing tasting for us, he always made us feel like a priority during a very stressful time. We were so happy to have hired these guys for our special event. Praveen also helped us find our event rental company and they also did an amazing job. Thanks for the special memories.

I placed a catering order , the food was delivered on time per our needs and all the items tasted real good. Shiva helped us with menu and guided with quantity required. I would definitely place more orders and continue dining here.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie optionsKid-friendliness: Kid friendly foodParking: Sufficient parkingDietary restrictions: Mild spice

Got mutton dum biryani and chicken biryani from this place. Meats felt somewhat rotten and smelly. Most likely the biryani was at-least 2-3 days old and wasn’t frozen properly either. Never stepping into this place again- definitely not on a Friday evening. Hardly ate a couple of morsels. Rest of the food will go to some lucky crows. It is possible they pack good and fresh food for regular customers and pass on frozen and yucky to others randomly. Maybe I ended up getting the bad batch. I have to mention that I had the same mutton dum biryani a few weeks ago and it was really good and fresh.
