Came across this when searching for a restaurant late in the night after a movie and this was one of the very few ones open till 2AM. Pleasantly surprised by the food. The biriyani and the malai fruit bowl are my favorites. The paratha and chicken 65 were really good too. Kind of an undiscovered gem. Highly recommend!

The taste was ok but definitely not worth the money. Almost no meat in Goat biryani. The parking lot this food truck is in seems shady with drunk unhoused people and they have just a few tables and chairs in the parking lot to sit and eat. Not really a family place. The reviews seem fake or hyped. It doesn’t taste like biryani in Hyderabad, India.
Response from the owner 21:29 27 Jun 25
