Biriyani Kabob House

Very nice place for eat in or to go. Very friendly owner who takes time to explain dishes and flavors. He shows a lot of respect for customers and this is much appreciated. The place is busy even on Mondays but parking is easy with their lot. Try it out!

Indian food is filled with spices and is very colorful. So colorful it could stain your clothes and most importantly your pallet
This place hands down has the best tikka masala and lamb biryani.
The tikka masala was semi sweet, spicy and a bit smokey the chicken wasn’t too dry it was pretty tender for the most part
The lamb biryani was nothing less than great. Generous amount of rice filled with herbs, spices (of course) and the lamb was pretty juicy.
My favorite part of the meal was the mango lassi (the best I’ve had yet)
and the sweet rice pudding. Which compelled me to write this review.
SERVICE: I love family businesses. .and although I’m not sure if this is a family business their hospitality felt like it was. It’s not extravagant or fancy but it’s extravagant in taste and fancy food.
I’ll definitely be back

Personally love this place, real good authentic Indian food, owner is good friends with my dad and I am glad my dad brought me here because it is the best Indian /​Bangladesh /​Pakastanian food I have ever ate!

Every time I’m in LA this is the place I come to eat. Great food and even better service. Hands down the best place to come to if you’re ever in LA and you want some Pakistani food!

Love the customer service, they are the sweetest people! Their byriani is so amazing! Also, not to mention… they offered free sweets! :) MUST GO

This place is good for Mediterranean kebab
Tasty, freshly made in order, good service.
I had excellent lunch and i do recommended to those who loves Mediterranean kebab.
Thanks again Guy’s!!!

Good place but check your order if you get it to go. I ordered cheese Nan and got garlic. Garlic is good, but it’s no cheese. Damn.

If you order take out, make sure you ASK for napkins, forks, knives, hotsauce, etc. They will give you just what you order.
Im sure the food is fine though. unfortunately, due to the lack of a fork, I wont know till I get home…

The Biryani rice was great along with their naan and a meat dish we ordered. Also, the ready-​made rice-​pudding is one of the best I’ve had. I am very critical about the consistency of rice-​pudding and this place had one of the best!
Service was very good and the gentleman at the cashier was very accommodating of our various requests.
The place looks run down but the food overall was good. We were in the neighborhood for some official work and wanted an Indian place within walking distance of Wiltshire Blvd., and it turned out to have good food and service.

I ordered the Chicken Tikki and it was decent. If you dont eat it right away it will get dry very quickly. I wish they had added more of the marinade for the naan (I got the plain). I asked for the garlic naan, but the owner said, «the plain naan was free». I let him know that I understood, but that I wanted the garlic naan and extra charge if you must, sir”. Sure enough, I got stuck with the plain naan.
The naan was perfection; fluffy, fresh and crisp around the edges with little sections of extra toasted air bubbles that turned into crispy flakes of heaven even bitten into. Still wish I didnt get punked by the owner to get the free plain naan, next time I’ll try the garlic naan.
So, three stars because the chicken was decent, not the best chicken tikki I’ve ever had, but it was simple and fresh. Also asked if he had hot sauce and he grunted something about, «freezer» and turned away. I looked under the sodas for what looked like a freezer/​fridge but didnt see any, so I walked out without any hot sauce. Thought it was rude that he refused to assist me further in finding it. Customer service could use a little sprucing up.
So there you go. If you’re craving Indian and dont want to travel far from Ktown, this place will do.

I have two issues with this place:
1. They charge an extra $ 3 per dish when you place an order for delivery. I’ve never heard of such a thing, two have two sets of prices? Regardless if that’s how you wish to run your establishment fine BUT when someone calls to place an order you should let them know. We’re use to a certain price when we eat there so I didn’t ask the price for each dish I just ordered. After asking not being told the total I realizing the amount was way off — I asked why. He said well I can give you a good deal of you order 10 dishes maybe only $ 1 or $ 2 extra per plate (while he’s mumbling and it’s so hard to understand what he’s saying) I said forget it I’ll pick up the food.
2. After placing the order once my boyfriend arrived he waited an hour — no joke an hour for the food. 40 minutes into waiting he asked how much longer and all he kept saying is soon. This was very frustrating especially after seeing people order the same amount get their food way before him.
The guy in front is plain rude. Even when asking him about his dishes he’ll respond with a one word answer.
I will not be going there again. The food is not that great for this type of service.

Best biryanis in town hands down. And it is open late till midnight. If there are cricket games of Bangladesh, it is open whole night. A must see and experience the real Mughlai Cuisine of India. All the other Indian places are just created for American taste and does not give us the real experience on Mughal Cuisine.

Aside from Halal Guys cart food in NY or gyros at few Mediterranean restaurants I never truly had Indian, Halal, or lamb except for dishes such as rack of lamb. So this review comes from a newbie…
The Lamb biriyani had a strong curry and lamb scent I could not get over. There were chunks of lamb meat with bones hidden throughout the rice and the lamb’s scent was a bit over whelming. The chicken tikka Marsala I could eat and especially when dipping the naan into the sauce was edible but it really just tasted very ketchupy. It also stained everything it touched… paper plates, my fingers, other foods. anything it touched BAM instantly orangy yellow.
I gave it a one star rating since I personally can’t eat it but had to wonder… was it just me? Then I looked over and the person I came with also couldn’t eat anything and two Hispanic guys at the table next to us left more than half of everything on their plate and just walked out. So for people sensitive to smell and not use to Indian food I would highly not recommend it. I would make the drive to Costa Mesa and eat the Halal Guys now in Cali.

They are not closed for renovations!
They are closed by order of public health.
Vermin!!!
Ughhhhhhhhhhhh.
Never again!!!

This place has parking, affordable prices, good portions, and legit indian food. Pretty happy I ended up stopping by here to try their bomb chicken tikki masala! This portion is plenty for two with an additional sides such as garlic naan.
I would definitely come back to try their other dishes.

Great food.
The lamb biriyani is a must.
The naan is to die for.

This place is an absolute gem! We found this place on Unilocal and we are definitely coming back! It’s a local joint with a welcoming staff and a passionate chef. You can tell they have a passion for good food by the amount of preparation and effort the chef puts into his dishes.
We shared the chili chicken special (a solid ⁵⁄₅!!) and the lamb shank biryani special, which was PHENOMENAL. The lamb shank was completely unexpected. We actually ordered another dish (that they happened to run out of) and instead they recommended the lamb biryani. The chef asked us if he could experiment by substituting the rice with extra sauce and we’re so glad he did!
This was the best lamb dish we’ve had in a long long time. Perfectly seasoned and falling off the bone, smothered in a slow cooked tomato base sauce.(He said he purposely didn’t give us a knife because he knew the meat would fall off the bone). We could go on and on about the dish, but bottom line: we encourage anyone to try this place, it’s so worth it! Go with their recommendations and specials — you won’t regret it.

Biriyani Kabob House, sorry to burst your bubble but you definitely do not deserve 4.5 stars IMHO. Maybe it’s because you’re the only Bangladeshi, Indian food joint in the area so that’s why customers have been gracious. However, here’s my bulleted point commentary below.
Pros:
You have a parking lot, albeit shared with 8-​other businesses so we secured free parking, score!
There was a short line at the register; orders were taken quickly
Cons:
Chicken tikka masala is SPICY; I’ve never had such a spicy version and there’s no warning anywhere that it varies from other restaurants
Our order took 25-​minutes, usually when you go to a casual order your food at the counter joint, it should not take longer than 10 – 15 minutes max; if they do take longer it’s perfectly acceptable, just tell your customer it’ll take that long. Even at fast food joints like Panda Express, they relay, «this’ll take 5 – 10 minutes til your order comes out.» The cashier should’ve said something, just sayin’…
The biryani chicken is not boneless – it’s attached to the drumsticks. I don’t usually expect this when eating curry chicken dishes.
Albeit I did enjoy the tikka masala sauce since it was rich and creamy and I could taste the sugars amidst the spice, everything was just not expected and there are things Biriyani can improve upon. If you go here and if I ever return, I would call in my order first before dropping in.

Biriyani. What is it? Meat (or veggies,) spices, and rice? How exciting can that possibly be? That’s what I foolishly thought before tasting the life-​changing biriyani at BKH.
I’ve been here a couple of times and ordered a couple of things. The hyderabadi kachi biriyani with lamb is a total show stopper: a mound of the most flavorful, spicy, buttery rice, piled high on top of a bone-​in lamb shank so tender, you could pull it off the bone with a spoon. That lamb is some of the most tender, least gamey lamb I’ve ever tasted. I understand biriyani is sort of supposed to be a special occasion thing, and I can understand why. It’s a rich, delicious treat.
Another show stopper that I’ve ordered was the chicken karahi. They asked me «Do you like spicy?» and when I said yes, they recommended this dish. I specifically asked them to make it «very spicy» and they delivered. Each delicious bite of tender chicken was drenched in shimmering, seething hotness that made my eyes tear up. I have a high tolerance for spicy food. If you do too, come here and try this dish. It’s rich and a little greasy, but the flavor and heat is fantastic.
The last time I was here with one of my girl friends, we ordered bindi masala, a special of the day that consisted of okra cooked in a tomato based sauce. It was great! The okra was nice and crunchy, not slimy, and the flavor was great. We ate this with some basmati rice. Yum.
I also get the samosas a lot, too. They’re good. The green sauce in the squeeze bottle is wonderful.
I hear this restaurant being talked about as some of the best Bangladeshi/​Bengali restaurant in LA. As a white girl, I can’t vouch for it’s authenticity, I can certainly vouch for the quality of the food. If you’ve never had biriyani, come try it here and be spoiled, forever. We came here in the evening during Ramadan and it was packed, so that should tell you something!

I came here on my lunch break today so I didn’t have much time to spare, but boy was my time well spent in choosing to come to this humble gem! I am a huge fan of paratha but had never tried a paratha aloo and let me just say WOW!!! I am so glad that the gentleman working here took the time to explain to me what the paratha aloo was. It is the most delicious combination of bread, herbs, spices and potato and there are plenty of very tasty sauces to accompany it! My only regret is that I didn’t order an actual plate! Next time I am definitely going to try the chicken tika masala! I saw the people at the table next to me eating it and it looked delicious! I am also extremely intrigued to try the rice pudding!
As people have mentioned the parking here is horrible but I promise the food and service here are definitely worth the trouble!
