Pongall Biriyani And Indian Grill

Great, Great experience both times I ate at this restaurant. First time a friend invited me there for Sunday Buffet. Experience was awesome! This time past Friday I took a friend there. Host was very personable and courteous. He was also very patient while we decided on what we would order. He also took the time to explain the menu to us. The appetizers, the main entree, the tea, the mango lassi were all delicious. Will definitely return. A hidden gem in Laurel.

The food here is next level!! Every single thing we ate was absolutely phenomenal, authentic and mouthwatering. Feroz was so wonderful and friendly. We will be back soon!!

I often come here, food is always fresh, delicious. I have never been unsatisfied, I have refer alot of my friends and family and they all agree. The service is friendly,they treat you like family. I would definitely recommend 100%.

I have tried this place for couple of times now. Their dosas are on point tasty. The indo chinese menu also is nice,. Service is great. I think they still dont have liquor license - hopefully they get it soon.

We had such a pleasant later lunch. One waiter and he was fantastic. I had the ghee dosa and my buddy had the Pongallo special dosa. Both were delicious and filling. We will be back.

Not one to leave bad restaurant reviews, especially in such trying times, but this was by far one of the worst Indian restaurants I have ever been to. We ordered idly as an appetizer (a staple south Indian appetizer) and it came out 45 mins later with a watered down coconut chutney, and “lentils.” It did not even remotely taste like sambhar and did not taste like daal - I have no idea what it was. The idly itself was deconstructing by the time it was put on the plate. After waiting even longer we were given the most doughy, flat, undercooked bhatura, and half decent Chana masala. The masala dosa was just ok - served with a funny tasting aaloo masala and the same lentils and watered down chutney as previously served with the idly. Overall, a very disappointing experience and definitely not worth the wait or price. I’d definitely try them again if even one of the dishes was ok, but not when 3/3 were a complete flop.

The food is worth the wait , if you dine in here . We were their for the family dinner after checking the online reviews., The order took some time to arrive as we politely informed that they received lot of online orders . However the food was worth the wait. Every item of our order tasted great with perfectly blend of spice and meat. We felt that the Chef really cares about his art .Not to mention that the folks here are very courteous and diligent.After months our search for some good Indian food has culminated.

We tried Pongall Biriyani and are truly glad we did. Not only was the staff super friendly but the food was awesome…and trust me, I don’t give that compliment very lightly. If I had to give a rating, I would rate it either top one or two Indian places I’ve tried in the states…definitely work the trip and then some…

We chose Pongall this evening for our introduction to Indian cuisine. Manager Kevin was welcoming and assisted us with suggestions. All dishes ordered were delicious; spicy, tasty and authentic. Service and ambiance top notch. Please give Pongall a visit; thank you Kevin for your sincere attitude of service and hospitality! We thoroughly enjoyed it!

I came for the Diwali grand buffet and I wasn't disappointed. The food tasted real authentic and tasted very well done. Thank you for the good food and the excellent customer service. I will come back again with my family.

Def a must try place! The host was wonderful and very cheerful! The food was extremely delicious, and tasted well done! Kudos to the entire Pongal team for making my night special!

I loved my dine in experience so much. This was the best Indian restaurant I ever went to. The food was soooooo delicious.

Food is always delecious owner and staff are friendly and helpful been going here since the couple of name changes definitely my go to spot for Indian food

I loved the flavor which taste just like am having my dinner in india... yummy

Amazing buffet!! My wife and I absolutely loved the authenticity of the food. There are a lot of veg and non-veg items to choose from. This is the best Indian food experience we have had so far. They have earned loyal and regular customers with their food and hospitality.
