I purchased Haleem from this establishment for a party. I asked for a tray for 10 people. Upon collection, I was surprised by the small size of the tray. It appears inadequate for even four individuals, let alone ten. Cant believe this cost $70!
Unfortunately, indeed for anyone who moved to SD from the MidWest in the U.S., it's true, SD has just awfull Indian restaurants. After searching a lot in reddit and Google, seemed like this was a good place, worth a try. But, again, just fake reviews or by people without any authentic taste for good indian food.
- The Chicken Lollipop we got was sooo freaking spicy, even though we have good indian-level spice tolerance, these guys are just adding spice with no sense. Felt like the chef's have themselves never tasted the food they are cooking. And, the chicken lollipop quality was miserable.
- The lamb Biriyani we got was like chunks of rice sticking together, very unprofessional, almost blank taste, felt like the rice in the biriyani masala that they made in the morning they just kept in the microwave and reheated, and gave us with some lamb meat mixed. Believe me, the first time I cooked lamb biriyani watching YouTube videos was 100x better than this, seriously, no clue what the chef here is doing, almost zero quality control. It's soo sad, the Indian Food in San Diego is absolutely pathetic.

First time visiting Pista House. I really enjoyed the cheese naan and the chicken pieces in the butter chicken; both were flavorful and cooked well. However, the butter chicken sauce itself was a bit too salty for my taste. On the plus side, I appreciated that rice came with the meal, unlike other Indian cafés in the area where it’s an extra charge to get rice with your meal. My hostess was very nice, she showed me where the spoons etc were and on my way out she gave me a bag for my leftover meals without me even asking. Overall, it was a good experience. It made me feel that there can be good customer service. 4 stars for the wonderful customer service.
