Friends Circle Indian Eatery

The dosas here are simply amazing! My favorite is the Masala Dosa—crispy, golden, and served with a generous dollop of ghee and flavorful karam podi. It’s a perfect blend of crunch and spice that keeps you coming back for more. The chutneys and sambar pair beautifully, making it a breakfast you won’t forget. Highly recommend for dosa lovers!

I haven't seen any indian restaurants this bad and the service is extremely slow just a dosa and poori took for an hour order at 1.10pm got the order at 2.09pm, personally as a traveler I would never suggest anyone new to Cleveland to try this, you may get frustrated and exhausted, I don't know why, never thought this from an indian restro, I would like to give a "0" star but google has no option.

Worst biryani I’ve ever had. When I ordered egg biryani they gave me the rice from chicken biryani and put one egg on it. So basically never ever order egg biryani from them because the rice is never cooked separately they just give rice from chicken biryani and cheat us.

This is my second visit to friends circle and I decided to go here because my previous visit was excellent. I really enjoyed their non-vegetarian options like chicken pepper fry and chicken dum biryani when I went the first time. The second time, however, was a major disappointment. While the chicken starter (65) was really well done, the zafrani dum biryani was simply not upto the mark. It felt like the rice was not mixed with the biryani curry/masala as it was very dry (almost pulao like) and just seems to have been tossed around in dry spices. The chicken was not only tasteless, but was also rather dry and was very low in quantity. The service is good although they have some annoying TV programs running all the time. (Last time they reduced the volume, so generally the staff is nice). I’m truly disappointed with the biryani - I really thought this was one of the best biryanis I have had in the US (excepting Texas) but this was really terrible. I hope they get back on track.

Total waste of time. Another time bad experience, Even staff is not aware of what they have or not, because of that we get only half quantity in full payment.
Another is waiting is too long, if you have plenty of time you can waste here. Good place to waste both M&T.

Went there after having a great biryani at this place back in July, but this time the biryani was so horrible that eating it felt like torture. It was just bland, lightly flavored rice with barely two chicken pieces; it cannot even qualify as a biryani. I'm really disappointed in this shocking drop in quality and cannot trust this place again.

The food was excellent and flavorful. My favorite item was the chicken biryani. It comes with rata and different chutney that taste so flavorful and delicious. Also the service is great. They fulfilled any request that I had. The atmosphere itself is not too great. It is somewhat small and not an extravagant place visually. However, I did not even think about that when eating the biryani.

“Worst Idli and Vada Ever
I had high hopes for Friends Circle Eatery, but the idli and vada were a disaster. The idli was tasteless and crumbly, and the vada was overly greasy and lacked any flavor. Won’t be coming back.”
