"While staying in the Pittsburgh area a lot over the past year, I've been trying many different places... I love really good Pakistani food, and am not nearly as fond of Indian food, but I came here one night for dinner and absolutely appreciated the owner's service, as well as the food they make here! I tried several things: Vegetable Pakora These unfortunately were sent back because they were slightly over done, but they apologized sincerely for that and removed them from the bill. Vegetable Biryanni Absolutely Excellent! Nice and spicy and loaded with robust, authentic flavors!! This paired with their raita was amazing!!! And wow, was it spicy!! Keema Muttar This was decent, but was a little saucier than I prefer (and than I'm used to). The flavors were excellent! The meat was lamb and there was the slight flavor of that. But overall, it was a decent dish. Bullet Naan I've never heard of this, so I had to try it, especially since it's made with green pepper and supposedly spicy. It was definitely spicy, but their naan was very thin. I actually prefer it thin, so I don't get filled up on bread. The only issues I've got is I eat in the traditional way, with my hands and in order to do so, you fold the naan or roti in half and then break off a piece Well, many of these places cut it into quarters which limits ow you can break off pieces. The other huge gripe I have is that they add ghee or butter to it, thus making it a greasy mess. Aside from those issues, it tasted great. Roti This resembled the bullet naan, but without spices, but with so much greasiness, the last slice was completely soaked and oily. The flavor was decent though. Lastly, He offered me mango lassi and I've not had lassi in probably 35 years, when I was last in Pakistan.... This lassi was very tasty and you could see and taste the fresh mango in it. Overall, this is my favorite Indian restaurant in the Pittsburgh area so far... I've tried several, but they do it the most authentic and best here. I'd definitely suggest it for those seeking some really good, authentic flavors. I'll be back!"

"I've recently relocated to Atlanta and have already dined at Briyani n Grill four times for their buffet. I must say, their ability to consistently serve delicious dishes is impressive. The hosts, Mani and Jay, truly excel at making their guests feel welcomed, embodying the very essence of South Indian hospitality—think of it as 'royal treatment.' If you’re a fan of thalapakkati mutton biryani or ambur biryani, you won’t be disappointed here. The meat is incredibly fresh, and you can taste it from the very first bite. Its tenderness is simply remarkable. A special shoutout to their festive buffets! I had the pleasure of attending the Ganesh Chaturthi Special on September 16th, which featured an additional menu with Kolukattai, Pongal, Masala Vada, Puliyogare, Panchamirtham, and Masala Dosa. And if you’re vegetarian, don’t fret! Their regular menu offers a generous selection of vegetarian dishes as well. On one occasion, I chose vegetarian options and was delighted by the variety available. The ambiance is enhanced by the sounds of South Indian music, creating a refreshing atmosphere. There are different types of seating arrangements, and my 3-year-old son particularly enjoys the Arabic-style tables. In summary, if you're craving an Indian buffet rich in South Indian flavors, Briyani n Grill is the place to go. Before you visit for a buffet, it’s a good idea to give them a call to help plan for hot food refills based on the crowd. Vegetarian options: Veg biryani, Naan, Masala dosa, Veg fried rice, veg gravy, and much more. Kid-friendliness: They offer free buffet meals for children."
