Biryani

Our specialty. Long-grain basmati layered with marinated meats or vegetables, saffron, and our house spice blend, then slow dum-cooked and served with cooling raita.

Curries

Slow-simmered classics from across India — butter chicken, paneer makhani, dal makhani, and lamb rogan josh — finished with fresh cream, ghee, and hand-ground spices.

Tandoor-grilled kebabs fresh off the skewer

Tandoor

Marinated and char-grilled in our blazing clay tandoor — tandoori chicken, seekh kebab, and paneer tikka, served sizzling with mint chutney.

Biryani

Biryani is the heart of our kitchen and the dish Houston knows us for. Marinated meats or vegetables are layered with fragrant basmati rice, saffron, caramelized onions, and a blend of whole spices, then sealed and slow-cooked in the traditional dum style so every grain takes on the aroma.

From our signature Hyderabadi chicken biryani to tender goat dum biryani, each is served with cooling raita and salan. More than a meal, biryani is the dish we bring out for gatherings, celebrations, and the comfort of a table shared.

Don't just take our word for it. Read what our customers have to say about their dining experience at our restaurant.

The Hyderabadi chicken biryani is the best in Houston — fragrant, perfectly spiced, and the raita on the side is the perfect touch. We're regulars now.

Priya Menon

Butter chicken and garlic naan were incredible, and the goat dum biryani is a must-order. Warm service and generous portions every time.

Marcus Allen

Finally an Indian spot that gets the dum biryani right. The paneer tikka was smoky and the mango lassi was so refreshing. Highly recommend.

Anita Reddy

Came for lunch and left planning my next visit. The lamb rogan josh and laccha paratha were outstanding. Authentic flavors, real heat when you ask for it.

David Nguyen

The gulab jamun was warm and just the right amount of sweet — I'll be dreaming about it for weeks. The whole table loved the tandoori platter.
