Original review 3 yrs ago:
No better biryani than this in North America
Recent review in 2025: The taste and the quality has gone down the drain. Please don't go!! I love this spot and went there whenever I m visiting from Maryland, but this time, despite me asking the guy behind the counter to please make the Biryani is fresh, he still ended up giving me the most stale and tasteless biryani. I went back next day to return it and THEY ARE CLOSED!! WITH A NOTE ON THE DOOR THAT WE ARE CLOSED FOR 2 DAYS FOR MAINTENANCE!!!. I hope they close this location soon cause they are ripping ppl off their money now!!

Just ordered the sandwich from this waste of a restaurant- see picture of their sandwich. Instead of naan and pita, they gave it in a fried poori and inside there is no onion or veggies just meat.

Absolutely worthless!

Biryani was good. Chicken karahi was not good. It was like chicken pieces put onto tomato puree.

Very rude customer service to didn’t feel like he wants too explain what they have in the menu and didn’t want to make me order rice on the side saying we don’t have that here Trish

Biryani is delicious, but it can’t compare to the authentic student biryani of Karachi.

Today On September 14th, I visited Student Biryani. I have been a frequent customer in the past, but unfortunately, over the last few months, the quality and taste have declined noticeably. During this visit, I ordered a chicken malai boti roll, which took 35 minutes to be served. Despite the long wait, the dish was extremely disappointing — the flavor was so poor that I was unable to finish it and had to discard it. Even the biryani, once their signature dish, no longer tastes as it used to. Regrettably, I will not be returning to this restaurant.
