Food Quality
Pros:
"Kaarampodi chicken: this a newer dish on the menu - they add chillipowder grounded with other spices to fried boneless chicken.. so good."
"The biryani at this particular restaurant is a culinary masterpiece that tantalizes the taste buds with its aromatic blend of spices, tender meat, and fragrant basmati rice."
"Appetizers were amazing. Well cooked and spicy like I wanted."
"The Chicken Biryani, Amaravathi Mutton Curry, Kadai Chicken, and Chicken Tikka masala were delectable."
"One best thing is they have Chinese items along with regular biryani, entrees and appetizers."
"Orderd for family pack chk biryani and goat biryani for birthday party. All my friends and family enjoyed the sumptuous food."
"First time I tried an Indian restaurant in NJ, the Biryani and Chicken 555 was finger licking delicious!"
Cons:
"I saw cockroach near kitchen. Also sticky floor. Whole restaurant smell like urine."
"Forget about ambience... I went there to have a nice aroma and tasty food... And got a chance to see the kitchen it's like pigs living area I can't say how dirty it was."
"The chicken was not cooked and the food was smelling very bad."
"We ordered Vijayawada Biryani and Veg fried rice. It was the worst flavor seems like biryani is a red chili pickled rice and fried rice is too much salty and peppery."
"But sadly didn’t like the biryani. No spices, no flavor, so plain, totally bland."
"The Biriyani had no flavor except for being ridiculously spicy with just rice & meat with no fried onions, cilantro etc."
"Chicken Biryani was stale, Mutton Biryani was more like khichdi, no taste of biryani."
