I was super excited to give this restaurant a try while flying to Houston from DC as I remember going to main student biryani in Karachi many times in the past, they are using their name but the quality is not even close, I ordered a massive meal for myself through DoorDash and I specifically added raita and salad with goat biryani and they didn’t send raita and salad which isn’t that of a big deal but the goat was tasteless, I added chargha to my order and it tasted like a plain tasteless fried chargha, eveyone knows that chaat masala is the real thing that makes chargha delicious and it tastes as if my chargha was prepared in hurry with no effort, I will be in Houston for next 3 weeks and no way I am ordering from these scammers again.

We went here last Wednesday for late night cravings and ordered two beef Bihari rolls and fries they took almost 30 to 40 minutes to serve it . One roll was cooked and the other was completely uncooked it was a bad experience for my husband we asked for the refund for that uncooked roll. Besides that there was a big rat roaming around in the dining area came out of nowhere I couldn’t imagine it was there overall our experience was bad this time lately there biryani is not tasty as it was before.

The fried chicken and fries are the best in this area, you to wait a long time but you have hot fresh delicious fried chicken, it's worth the wait

Student Biryani is an excellent place for budget-friendly and tasty biryani. The flavor is rich, the rice is perfectly cooked, and the portion size is very satisfying—especially for students. The spices are well balanced, not too oily, and the aroma is mouth-watering. Service is quick, prices are affordable, and quality is consistent. A great spot for anyone looking for good biryani at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!
If you want it short, more casual, or in Gujarati/Hindi, tell me and I’ll rewrite it 👍

Worst naan experience.
Please improve the quality of your plain naans as you are selling them for a price higher than anyone else in your surroundings.
So if you are selling them costly, at least make them worth the price.
Thank you! 🙏

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!
