Gongura mutton biryani was awesome, starters are nice too..they could have kept more quantity for starters, apart from that the food tastes good.

We love food here and we come here very often. Ghongura Mutton Biryani, Chicken 65 are our all time favorites. They are a must must try!!
We tried Laccha Parantha and Chicken Zalzala recently and it turned out great.
Service has improved a lot lately. Keerthi was helping us during our recent and she is very professional and assisted us well.

I love their chicken dum Biryani. One of the close to authentic charminar style Biryani masala which I used to crave for.

The Haleem is utter trash, keep away from it
Worst Indian food. Never visiting this place again.
Probably the worst biryani in bay area!
Could be worse. It’s Brundavan now, NOT Pista House. The food was edible. Nothing particularly struck us with awe. By the look of it, the waiter has not interest in serving the customers. Ordered thalis, haleem and chicken 65. Order extra rice or roti with the thalis. Too much curries served.
Yummy non veg buffet which had 2 briyanis (chicken and mutton), 3 curries (butter chicken, spicy chicken curry, fish curry) and 3 appetizers (tandoori chicken, hariyali chicken, chicken fry). Both the briyanis were tasty. Spicy chicken curry was the best among the curries. Tandoori chicken with mint chutney was good, chicken fry was a bit too hard, and hariyali chicken had more added color. Guessing the menu would vary every week.Best part is that they had a live counter for Aapam. It was really good with the chicken curry / coconut milk. When compared with non veg, the veg items in the buffet didn't really taste that good.For take out, once tried Mutton dum briyani and was pretty good. Nice flavor and spices.

I ordered 2 items for takeout -Chicken Biryani and Shahi Dum Ka Chicken.The chicken biryani was super dry and most of the chicken pieces were burnt black and non-edible.The Shahi Dum Ka Chicken shows as white cashew based gravy on their website but what I got was a tomato based gravy. The taste was fine.
Full marks to service, very cheerful and motivated staff. Mahi was serving my table and he was excellent!!I had haleem, roti and gulab jamun and masala tea- Exceptional taste, highly recommended!!

Pathetic biryani and pathetic customer experience.Visited this place on 5 Nov 2022. Took forever to place an order. Placed order for Vijayawada chicken biryani and spicy. What was served was the most pathetic chicken biryani ever. 0 spice, uncooked and hard chicken pieces and salt less than required.Customer service: Asked for the WiFi password for the Pista guest wifi as my data network was weak. The guy at reception took my phone, entered something for password and then smiled at me wickedly saying it is not getting connected. I said if the password is correct, why will it not connect to which he just smiled in a wicked way and said its just not connecting. I went back and asked my brother to get wifi password from the same guy. He went and got the wifi connected in 1st try, meaning the guy knew the password, just didnt want to put in for me. Very weird.Not recommended.
Their name was changed to brundavan restaurant, we went to lunch buffet and it's pretty good, every item was enjoyable, I was not happy with their desserts but otherwise it's pretty tasteful food curries and staters.
