The food is beyond awful! This worst Indian food I’ve ever tasted! The Chicken tikka masala tastes like tomato soup with tabasco sauce.

Smells amazing when you walk in. Rich, flavors and perfect textures for all the dishes I've tried. Definitely the "comfort food" I crave when I think of Indian curries. The staff are friendly and attentive.

Ordered 6 different things today including tandoori chicken. Didn’t find it when we got back to our cabin after a 30 min drive. I was suspicious when we placed the order and the lady conveniently ignored everything that required a tandoor to cook. Eg we asked for paneer tikka, she mentioned we ordered paneer tikka masala. I am pretty sure we aren’t going to get a refund but folks ordering beware.

Delicious. The portion for the chicken biryani was massive. Felt like I was carrying out a newborn. Flavors were also good.

Wow! So grateful I found this hidden gem! Having grown up on superb Indian and Pakistani food in NYC, my high expectations typically leave me feeling a little lackluster. Biryani Express did not disappoint. Everything was SO flavorful, well balanced, to the right spice level and absolutely delicious! Even their jasmine rice was cooked with whole cardamom pods! Yum! I had the chicken tikka masala, beef/lamb shawarma, and vegetable pakora. It’s surprising and unfortunate to read the negative reviews. I suppose it’s not easy to please those who are chronically displeased. Do yourself a favor and check out Biryani Express. It’s not fancy, but it’s hands-down the best Indian/Pakistani food outside of NYC.Parking: This gem is in a plaza with plenty of parking. Easy to access, easy to park, and no need to pay for overpriced underwhelming Indian food downtown.

Though this is one of the least expensive Indian restaurants in the area, the dishes were lacking in flavor. We selected a medium heat for our dishes, which was unexpectedly spicier than what we've come to know as medium - could be a difference in location of course, so I don't hold that against them, just be warned. The garlic Naan was a little soggy, possibly from being in the aluminum foil it was packaged. Staff were pleasant and smiling, though our interaction was brief.
