This was by far the best biryani I've had in the US. The chicken and the goat meat is so tender and masterfully marinated. Five star ⭐

We are from Hyderabad, so we have high standards for what is authentic Hyderabad biryani.
And Ustad has the best Hyderabadi biryani we’ve ever had in California!

Very poor quality food! Ordered a tray yesterday of mutton dum hydrabad biriyani. Had very few pieces of mutton.the rice was overcooked and a paste kind. Not fresh at all.

Worst food truck in bay area. I had an extremely disappointing experience at this food truck. The customer service is absolutely terrible, and the server (khalistani) showed clear discriminatory behavior towards me as I was Indian. It highly seemed like he wasn't interested in serving me. If you're looking for good food and a pleasant atmosphere, this is definitely not the place to go. It's the worst place I've visited, and I wouldn't even give it one star. Avoid at all costs.
Order Paneer 65 Biryani yesterday. Pickup was ready after 20 minutes as per the App. But taste wise, it left a lot to be desired. There were lot of spices overpowering the biryani and kept coming every time while eating. Definitely an average taste compared to other Biryani places around. Even pricing wise, not any lesser than established restaurants with this being a food-truck.

I tried the Chicken Ghee Roast Biryani, and it was bursting with flavors and had a perfect kick of spice.

After eating biryani at various places across the Bay Area over the last 7 years I can confidently say that this is the most authentic Hyderabadi biryani you can get around here. The meat is so tender, and the flavors are perfect and very close to Sarvi or Bawarchi biryani from Hyderabad. Really hope they do well and stay in business for ever.

Got the chicken lollipop biryani (with double masala). The quantity was decent. However, the rice was heaped with Cinnamon sticks (got a piece in every other bite), and was very dry. The chicken lollipops tasted like simple fried chicken with barely any seasonings and thus lacking in flavor. They looked nothing like what's advertised on the menu. Very disappointed, first and last time here.
Hey
half box biryani of this size not worth of 18$. Taste was decent 3/5

Dum biryani is awesome, would be great if they can provide less spicy. I also tried their chicken 65 biryani - the coating on chicken is very thick and chicken is undercooked.

Malai chicken biriyani is good, authentic Hyderabad biriyani is good. Ghee roast biriyani is okay okay type.
I had ordered 5 biriyani, staf had given me complementary tea. I was with my friend and asked for one more . On my face they responded NO. $85 I have billed and they don’t have curtesy to spare little tea for us. Even he refused to provide empty cups
