Updated review: So the owners have fallen to the usual cost cutting tactic of serving biryani that's clearly a day old and not fresh. Refrigerated biryani has a distinct scent that is not necessarily unpleasant, but not very appealing either. The last two times I ordered biryani, I was extremely disappointed.
In Houston, if you are not top of the game in the food business, you won't survive. The owners can either go back to serving fresh (and arguably the best biryani in town), or they can cost cut themselves out of a business.

First time I ordered beef biryani n it was nothing like Pakistani student biryani, too much oil, it was brown in color the rice n beef was black n like roast soft but black beef, like curry put into rice. N beef Nihari was too oily like the Nihari was put into biryani it was salty, butter chicken was okay not Pakistani but sweet like Indian butter chicken. I don’t think I’ll go back there again. Sorry nothing like student biryani in Karachi. No potato in the biryani they forgot to add. I called them n they said sorry, next time we will add just let us know. Waste of $$

Opens till late just like the name goes Student biryani lol . I like this place because it serves people like us who get lazy cook and doesnt wanna put in the effort of cooking . I like my food with spices which is why i never eat out in restaurants other than the background of South Asian food . And this is one of the very few restaurants that offer people who are still a student by heart no matter in which phase of life they are in at hours that are serving in. Before 9pm i prefer other places to eat but after 9pm this place offers decent food which you wouldnt feel you wasted your money . Love their garlic naan with cheese spread on top with thats chopped cilantro i guess . Nice work guys . 😄
Food is good but service is slow. They charge a mandatory gratuity for dining even if you are alone so don't rely on the prices on their menu. Also, the menu prices are outdated, as the same items are listed differently on the screen and the printed menu. The ambiance is lacking, with an echo in the hall and a loud TV, making conversation difficult. There is a really bad smell in the restaurant that makes the dining experience unpleasant.

I ordered Biryani through Uber. I requested to make it as mild as possible and they made it as spicy as possible. I don't know what language they understand as i wrote my request in English. I feel they cannot make a good taste for their Buryani and trying to hide it by using chillies. Anyway I throw all the biryani in the Bin...

This place used to have a delicious beef biryani. Throughout the last couple of years, the quality has gone down quite a bit. The rice used to be fresh, and my last 2 To-Go orders have been mushy rice and dry beef. I don't know if they got a new cook but it has changed. Or maybe they are giving out leftovers from the afternoon. Either way, it hasn't been the high quality I remember and that is why I have changed my 5 star to a 2 star 😔 It was SO good before when I first started coming here a few years ago.

Staff was not friendly. Food was terrible and meat quality was also terrible. Tables were sticky and dirty. Overall not it was a bad experience.
