Biryani City

We’ve been coming here for years and it’s always a great choice when you’re in the area :) we ordered the chili chicken which was pretty good & gobi manchurian which we thoroughly enjoyed. You can’t go wrong with their biryani - wish they provided shorba though. We also ordered the bullet naan for the first time which was a nice change to the usual garlic naan (which is delicious by the way). We also ordered the Chettinad chicken curry for the first time which was really good. Ambience and service could definitely be improved, but food is good. Overall recommend Biryani City :)

Surprisingly good! Even shockingly good! Was stranded in Newark, DE. Bought a beer about 9pm at a university area wine store. The cashier was a lovely Indian university student whom I asked for a recommendation for a late dinner. She suggested two and Biryani City was closest so we went there. It was not fancy in the least, which in my book may be a plus since you can’t eat ambiance. Being a big Indian food fan since 1966 in NYC -area including Jackson Heights and NJ including Jersey City and Edison. I am always disappointed whenever I try outside my familiar locations. However, I had a special goat curry that I never had before and it was super superb! The very energetic and friendly chef/owner said their Biryani is their signature dish and I plan to try it if I ever get back to Newark. DE. Ironically, elsewhere in Delaware, I went to a copy center and asked the Indian owner if he could recommend an Indian restaurant. He said nothing good in the area but if I ever go to Newark, DE, he said Biryani City is the best. He said order the Biryani!!!

I have been a regular customer from the day restaurant is open and am always a fan of their food until few months. I have been constantly observing that the food quality and taste is drastically declined including Biryani. They added new items on their menu and every time I try to order they are out of ingredients. Not sure what the purpose of Adding it in first place on regular menu. Today’s I ordered few items and the chicken is overdone, rubbery and when I try to explain (santosh) about this and they denied that they made it right. I do not recommend this restaurant any more. Good luck

Ordered on the phone for pick up. Dinner was very good except I asked for medium spicy and it was crazy spicy. I called my parents who agreed as we all ordered medium and it was very spicy. It was flavorful. The shrimps were small but there were certainly enough of them. I think I will order mild next time just hope that is flavorful enough. Both garlic and regular nan breads were yummy

I would give 0 stars if I could. They messed up my catering order. One of the tray was supposed to be a dry chicken item. When we can home, we opened it and it was all gooey instead of dry, don’t even know what kind it was. Restaurant called next day to take feedback. When we told our experience, they said they would have the chef call back and of course that never happened. All other items (veg and Non Veg) that we ordered were below average. Taste was bland despite me telling them to make it spicy, too much oil and fewer pieces than I could imagine. If they were worried about profit margins, then they should increase the price and maintain good quality. Threw away all the oily/gooey/taste less gravy into trash right after my party. Will never visit this restaurant again who doesn’t care about the food they make nor customer satisfaction.

We normally order Vegetable biryani from here, it is good in taste compared to other biryanis being served in Delaware ( i like thier gravy and raitha which they give along with biryani) , there is currently no dine in due to covid, they are pretty fast to deliver after we order. Tried their started veg manchurian it was also good. Onky thing that has bothered me since the last visit is that, they said vegetable biryani was 23 with cash with card it is 25 , shouldn’t it be the same.

Currently dealing with food poisoning after i doordashed food from them earlier today. What i had tasted good (goat biryani) but i am currently a double-sided fountain well after 8 hours since eating. I’ll give it two stars cuz at least it tasted decent and everything order-wise was correct and timely, but i likely won’t be getting food from this place anytime soon.
