Charminar Indian Restaurant & Catering in Orange County offers delicious and authentic Indian food. The Family Feast, which includes an appetizer, entree, naan, family portion of biryani, and dessert, is a great option for families. Both the Chicken Hyderabadi Biryani and Goat Biryani have been highly praised for their homemade taste and lack of greasiness. Other popular dishes include Halim, Ghee Roast Chicken, and Bezawada Biryani. While their online ordering system had some issues, the quality and quantity of the food were satisfactory. They serve authentic Hyderabadi biryani, but only on Friday to Sunday, making it a special treat for those days. The restaurant is also known as the first in Southern California to serve rumali roti, which is a must-try for visitors. Vegetarian options like Hyderabadi biryani and paneer butter masala are available. Customers have enjoyed dishes such as Hyderabad goat dum biryani and chicken 65, noting the authentic taste and spice, with some requesting double masala for extra flavor. The restaurant also offers complimentary chai after 6:00 pm, along with rumali roti served later in the evening. The crispy cauliflower and butter chicken are favorites, though some feel the portions for the price could be larger. The staff is very attentive, enhancing the dining experience. Overall, Charminar Indian Restaurant & Catering is a highly recommended spot for those in Orange County looking for genuine Indian cuisine.
