This place is mind blowing! Great service and amazing food. We had ordered seekh kebabs as appetizers which were served with a mint chutney and a mayo dip. They were absolutely delicious! For the main course we had chicken zalzala with rice and chicken dum biryani. Both the dishes were fantastic. Chicken zalzala had a very rich and creamy flavor and I savored every bite of it. Biryani was served in a clay pot with a large portion size. We finished with Malai and falooda mulgi sticks. Must visit if yall want good Indian food. This place wont disappoint you.
So we had been to Pista House when it first opened and I wasnt so happy. The buffet then was of the kind where they bring you a list of their items for the day and you ask for whatever you want brought to the table. Hated that. This time it was the regular self-serve kind and I was glad it was that way. From the appetizers, the tandoori chicken was pretty decent with the mint chutney. Bread was alright. The mutton curry, chicken curry and fish (fillet) curry were my favorites. Rich, tasty, not watered down unlike some other buffet places. The curries were so good that I had the biriyani rice with the curries and not the meat in the biriyani as that looked too dry for my liking.The mango kheer was delicious.I guess it is $16/17 per head for the buffet, including tax it comes up to $18-ish.We went on a Sunday around 12 and it wasnt too crowded. Id say, if they bring down the price, I might go again, but for the current price, it isnt worth it.
Authentic Haleem, the best!! Their Chicken Bijili was so good and flavorful, haven’t eaten anything like that. Gulab jamun was excellent! Service, very friendly.
Overpriced food, and likely scammers. Please do not come here.Came here with a group of 12. Ended up with a bill of roughly $360. Thatd be roughly $30 of food per person, so 2 of their $15 entrees per person. We definitely did not have that much food. The prices are ridiculous, and I would not be surprised if the man and lady serving us overcharged us; other reviewers have complained about this too. So, it likely wasnt an isolated incident.Id be less upset about the cost if the food was good. However, the food itself was 5/10 at best, 2/10 at worst. My aunties make better at home. Naan was alright, but the biryani was absolutely tasteless. Portions are way too small. Also, my $5 order of Mango Lassi was served in a plastic cup??? Theres no excuse for that. You use glasses for the water; did you happen to run out when it came to the lassi?Now, 5/10 is pretty good if youre in the middle of nowhere and crave some Indian fare. But this is Hicksville; the whole town is overflowing with great Indian/Desi options. All it takes is seconds to find a far better choice.Décor is meh. Poorly-lit restaurant and cheap chairs. Seemed clean enough, though. Our party was the only one eating, which says a lot about the quality of this place.Please reconsider coming to place. Unless you love wasting A LOT of money on mediocre food. Or are just dying to get scammed. Then, this place may just be for you.
Best Hyderabadi Biriyani, non veg starters and Haleem in Long Island.Reasonable price with good service.The staffs are really polite and caring.Parents loved the food.Lunch buffet has lot of variety on the menu.Real value for money.
My favorite place. Delicious food with reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Horrible experience. Didn’t expected this kind of service. We tried buffet on 1/1/20 new year and I’ll explain it in short. Lack of flavor. Lack of variety. Lack in refills. Lack of staff. No one on site (manager/owner) to understand and take care of the situation. Pista house is not only famous for his name, they are well known for their variety of flavor in food and their kind service. Never going back there for sure. 🙏🏼
Ordered food for new year, catering order. Made us wait for an hour. Made everything after we went. Gobi Manchurian and Boneless Biryani was good. Mushroom Masala was sweet. Stuffed Mirchi was not stuffed for half of the Mirchi. Gongura Paneer Biryani was below par. Might give them a try again for appetizers.
Food used to be good but lately not so, food is cold, we ordered garlic shrimp twice, it’s not the same both times, first time they gave it with garlic sauce over some shrimp, second time they forgot what sauce to use, they just put some ketchup and random sauce over shrimp, food is not even warm like it should, mutton biryani was too salty and the pieces looked weird inside and barely any in there, very uncomfortable experience, fish was very bland with no spices or salt, nothing like in the past, overall the quality is poor, I don’t know if i will want to go ever again. Service charge and taxes were high, with the money I’ve spent there I could feed at least 20-25 people with decent meal including dessert. Very disappointed😟. Tables weren’t sparkly clean, I don’t know why we are paying $25 service charge and on top of that asking for tip when you are paying, that didn’t make any sense but I didn’t tip any any away,Overall very disappointed, not worth the money we spent.
Haleem was avarage ,apatizers are ok but Biryani was worst and expensive , overall poor quality
The most incredible haleem I’ve ever had in my life. The mutton biriyani is incredible as well.
Food is good but not worth for the prices , and quantity is lessThe worst thing is the service tax of 18% and including 9% newyork tax which haunts bigger
Amazing Indian cusine.It was worth travelling 25 miles to have a good biryani from Stony Brook...Very friendly staff and hospitality was amazing... !!
I have been to Pista House several times. My family loves this restaurant. The food has always been excellent, this is our go to place for fantastic food in Hicksville! The staff is very polite and the restaurant is so clean and beautiful. HIGHLY recommend this place, you will love it!
Sure it was good in the past. As it stands as of 2021:IT ISNT EVEN BIRIYANI.-They nuked the rice and seasoned fried meat in the oven. Not an even steam on the rice. The counterfeit biriyani had a weird coconut oil after taste and way too much cinnamon. Horrible. Meats are not seasoned properly for the curries. Curried meat not boiled properly as it was too hard. The same spices you use for the gravy should be the same spices you use to season the meat overnite. Meat is bland. People who like this restaurant should get tested for covid as one of the symptoms is having no taste.
If youre from Hyderabad you would already know what they are down for, but if you are one of those who were told about this place from a Hyderabadi person, trust me they aint lying , known for there haleem, I would say the best Hyderabadi food you could get in NY, not a lot of options but I would say stick to the basics, the haleem, the Hyderabadi biryani, mirchiyon ka salan and desserts
Home away from home ! This place. Gives you special attention and the staff is excellent. Added to this comfy setting is the perfectly cooked food which is very tasty , flavorful yet not heavy . Highly recommend eating here . We have tried both the vegetarian and non vegetarian options and making choices isn’t easy !!!!!!
Do not eat at this place unless you want to get sick. Biryani was old and the meat had a bad smell to it. Eat at your own risk!!!
The food was good 80% authentic Hyderabadi taste. Haleem was the best i had in United States👍
The food and service was amazing. The staff was super friendly and the food was perfectly cooked. Definitely will go back and highly recommend this place!
Haleem is the best out of all dishes. Customer service must be improved.
Haleems taste was nothing but salt.Its better to taste the food before ordering.I dont think this restaurant will last long.
The quality of the biryani has decreased over the years. You can CLEARLY tell when they serve the old biryani, just reheated. Lastly, PLEASE STOP PUTTING EGGS in biryani. If I didn’t ask for it, chances are I do not want it. There is nothing authentic about a soggy hard boiled egg chilling in my biryani, especially if it’s chopped and placed in the biryani. It ruins the flavor and aroma.
The lady (waitress) was really nice and talkative when we were paying the bill. Later we realized that she over charged us. When we called her to ask about the bill, each of the item we bought were billed at a higher price than it was on the menu. Even then, they had charged us about $25 more. She could not give an explanation and she hung up the phone. When we called again, she never answered. Then I realized that it wasnt only us. The customers before us were discussing their bill with her as well. Then I connected the dots, that they must have over chargered them as well. I do not recommend this place. Btw, the food wasnt all that. Disappointed with the haleem! There are better Indian restaurants in Hicksville.
This place was very unsanitary specially during these pandemic times. The glasses and silverware all had food residue. Even the tables and placemats had food left from the people before us. Nothing was cleaned and food was average and over priced. I’ve been here before and had a good experience but they have gotten worse since then. I hope they take this as constructive criticism as their food is good. Just not worth the money for this experience.
Very very poor service. I had a issue with my order. i called them to let them know and the lady just hung up phone. They dont follow the instructions, although I mentioned that I am allergic to something she had yet put that is large quantity and she is like remove it and eat. Very very rude service by the lady that talks on phone and the food really tasted very bad. Its better to eat from Diwan Indian restaurant, they always help me by making delicious food with all the instructions.Lot lot lot of reviews mention about that their customer service needs improvement.and so now if you are viewing this review you should think before.
Worst customer service had to wait 20 mins for naan and my biryani never came,not coming again...I asked over 10 times for naan and my biryani.
Recently the quality and quantity of the food both declined significantly while increasing the prices. They don’t serve fresh food at times especially the biryani rice they mix the old rice in it. The lunch special and the chicken 65 boxes have decreased in size. Unfortunately it is no longer a place to go for food.
Best authentic briyani around long island! Good hospitality and clean surrounding!😀 would recommend you if you are an south Indian! Luv it!
First of all the lady who takes calls need to learn some manners, how to deal with customers.Their food quality is going low, service is awful and they are over priced since beginning but atleast give some good food and service for the money you charging.I used them since past 3 years, however wont use them instead now prefer traveling to New Jersey for Hyderabadi food.
This was my FIRST AND LAST time. Complete waste of money and time. Food ordered wasn’t fresh and all the different dishes were cooked same way. Curry Tasted same for chicken and goat karrai . We couldn’t chew the chicken or mutton as meat was so hard.No difference between Naan and roti and way expensive pricing .Very Expensive and tasteless.
Amazing food, i love chicken tikka masala. Great price and service.
Terribly disappointed. Coming all the way from massachussets. With a 5 hour long drive . Ordered food over 170 dollars . asked for a small 250 ml water bottle along with the food. (which get 40 pack Poland spring for 3.99) and they did not give it and asked money for it. U lost a customer. Finally to cap things , they forgot to include an item we ordered . So we had to stay back and re order.
Recently ordered from there 2 large tray mutton dhum biriyani..for our house party and we were embarrassed infront of our guests. The taste was very poor and was tooo salty, there was hardly any meat. Will not recommend anyone to buy from there.
Order yesterday take out 3 dishes. Lambbiryani, Chicken biryani and lamb Haleem.Food was very tasty and yummy but in lamb biryani there was almost no lamb and lamb haleem like a few bites in a container.Wasted my money $58 for such a small quantity. I should gone to kababjees instead and enjoyed tasty food with normal quantity.
Their food is very good when ordered and made fresh.. the only problem with them is that wait time is too long and they need to hire more people and servers to not only make it easier for us but for them as well.
Good place for hyderabadi food. The staff and the people over there are friendly!!
Damn good biryani! The taste was at par with the pista house biryani I had in Hyderabad, India.Try the Chicken Dum Biryani (ask for double Masala if u like it spicy). No photos for this review 😅 ate it all up too quickly
Previously the food was great but this time the taste dint even reach any level. We especially came for haleem but very disappointed. Quantity doesn’t match the price value, very highly priced.
The best authentic Hyderabadi cuisine in New York City. Gets my taste buds super excited every time I have the food there. Great food and service!! We always had fun and everything was prefect. I would highly recommend going here. The food has never disappointed, the service is immaculate and friendly. The atmosphere is elegant and conducive to talking.
Used to be a routine customer. Hospitality has fallen dramatically. Order vegetable dum biryani, got chicken piece in it and without any vegetables. They were kind enough to replace the biryani for which I had to drive back 15 min and pick up another one. Enough after getting a new biryani, it wasn’t cooked as per the instructions and completely tasted like a fried rice with vegetable. Just rice and vegetables, there were no spiciest in it at all. They did not answer calls, I had to leave voicemails. Ended up going to other place middle of the night to pick up dinner. Such a worst experience.
One of my favorite Indian restaurants on Long Island.The best food in quantity and quality.Their signature biriyani is a must try.Have both dined and done take out here and its always a good experience with the staff and owner.Authentic Indian taste and dishes.
I used to love this place but the quality has fallen so bad that the food isn’t even edible. Way too spicy and tasteless. Even after repeatedly specifying what I wanted I got the wrong order. Waste of money.Revisited after 11 months, Food was good and quantity was sufficient as well, I just wish that this restaurant keeps its consistency. If they can keep the consistency of taste and spices. There’s no place better for Hyderabadi food.
This is not called Hyderabadi Haleem.Not even close to haleem.Only one lady serving for the whole restaurant.👎🏼
Incredible food! Best hyderabadi biryani, 65 and haleem by a distant mile. Go here if you’re a true foodie who is focused on taste and quality vs ambience / decor etc. great service but most of all attention to maintaining authenticity.
Must try haleem...Far better than other places.
Way overpriced, below average quality food. Dont get fooled by the name of restaurant. Name of the restaurant is hyderabadi but not food. Poor quality and tasteless food. Horrible customer service. Beware, for dine-in even for party of two they charge 18% service fees + NY State Tax + Tips. I asked manager if 18% service tax is applicable for just party of two and he said yes. Also to clrify this 18% is not COVID fees. This place is rip off. Dont recommend this place.
It was really a very bad experience having food in Pista house. All the items used to be good in earlier days but now it became too worse. Especially biryani was not at all good and cannot be compare with any other restaurants. Now comes to the non veg starters, I don’t know why all the starters taste like same. This.........NO GooD
Service was good but the food had poor taste. Chicken karahi was more like korma. Haleem was not haleem ( I don’t know what that was). They definitely need to improve food quality.
Excellent Hospitality , Food was amazing , enjoyed the Authentic haleem .Management was very much friendly .
Unprofessionalism at a professional level... waiters are extremely uncomfortably unprofessional..including the manager... and the food is really old, we ordered haleem.. which smelled like a dead rotten goat.. worse haleem we have ever tasted. The biryani was ok.. nothing special... anyways, this would be our first and last visit to this creepy restaurant...Wont be long until they shutdown.
Im sitting in this very restaurant eating right now. This food is amazing. Pure Hyderabadi taste.
Biryani had old leftover reheated mutton pieces!! Overpriced for terrible food. 18% service charge. Place used to be good. Very disappointed.
Please ask for a “Hard Copy” of you bill. I don’t need to explain in detail. So be careful when you pay. Also as we entered there was some really bad smell in the whole restaurant not sure what but my kids and my wife were felling uneasy.
Update: 30Mar2019 Taking down one more star. Was very hungry and got a Veg biryani from them. Ate like three spoons and threw it away. This time I can see taste and quality and everything gone down completely. It is clear that they have grown greedy and or lazy. Not going back. Such a rich cultural and regional food from south India, which is made a mess here.---------------------------------------------------Previous review.Quality has gone down significantly. Taste is same, but quality is down lately. For that price, expect much better. Bad that they started good and became like any other restaurant. Wonder if restaurants dont realize that customers will know.
I enjoy the food here always. Food Consistency is very important rather than few service issues. Very South Indian and delicious. Staffs and management very friendly. I love their $10 lunch box to go option. People should give a try once and youll love this place.
Come here for the Haleem, stay for the elaborate and unique selection of kebabs - most of which you wont find at any other place. Frequently use their take-out option, and sit down with family now and then. Quality has been maintained and high since they opened. Love this place!
Stale food, all foods unhealthy, i suppose if a food inspector inspects the premise the place will be closed and the man Sriman would be behind bars for serving food reheating and unhygenic leave alone taste, the food that was for pickup had to be trashed around 80 bucks :(
Great experience. Our server was very nice and kept checking on us. The owner came by and another server/cook? Assuming. They kept making sure we were okay and if they food was great. We really enjoyed the chicken tikka and the handi chicken biryani. Will definitely go back again. Really enjoyed the fact that it was halal, they do not serve alcohol and alcohol is not permitted and the restaurant is very clean. Highly recommend.
Came here tonight with some friends for dinner. It was a group of us so I’m not going to go through everything we ate. Overall I’d give 4 stars for everything. The food was very nicely flavored and authentic. 2-3 pieces of my chicken was undercooked, not a huge deal. The waiters were nice but all appetizers were not served together nor was the entrees or deserts. It was sort of scattered serving. At the end of the night we had to ask someone else for the receipt as our waiter didn’t come back to our table. It’s known for larger groups that gratitude is automatically taken, but we didn’t even know what percentage it was until we got the receipt ourselves.They do not serve alcohol here so you have to bring your own liquor.The decor was plain and simple, lots of wood on the wall and floors. Bathroom was kept clean as well.If I am in the area I will return. More of a take out place than dine in.
Update: The key to get the best taste is Fridays and weekends are when the biryani is the best.Old: This place used to be really the best Indian biryani around Hicksville. but lately because of too much demand theyre starting to give white rice instead of biryani which is really bad on the management part I normally never wrie reviews but since this is the second time Im experienced this kind of messed up food pick up Im forced to write this. They should probably start doing better
Very nice foodService was amazingOwner was very friendlyIf you around here please try this place
This restaurant service and food used to be good two years ago when started .As the time passed quality became so poor and worst service and the prices are over in online orders.For example bls biryani used to be very tasty and now it’s no more that quality and they increased by $3-$4 in uber and grubhub but on there website it’s still same price .All they trying to do is cheat people and taking advantage of customers .Everytime we order food later 8:30 - 9:00 PM they all keep left overs and food will be very bad .If we report next day they would ask us to get the food back (never heard any restaurant will do this way )so they will tell to give same order again .Also whenever you order food they will say to stop in 20 min but if you go there food won’t be ready and we have sit there for more 30 min which is one hour waste do time totally.They threat people like will block you guys if we continue to report food is not good.I never want to write this review but it’s management responsible for all this kind of things and clearly want to all the people just to avoid these people and look for better one .
My first-time buffet visit was almost closing time so certain items were not replenished. Had a to-go order of biryani as well (would not recommend to get closing time as it was the bottom of the pot part with some burnt bits). One of the owners present saw to it that I had a good experience. Learnt that the biryani was made twice daily. Although the biryani lacked authentic Hyderabadi flavors, it is still a good-tasting and fresh biryani with the chicken version being my favorite. The veggie biryani I would not recommend. The fish curry was unpalatable during my first visit; second time it was okay. Place has quite a few vegan options. The boneless chicken biryani seemed like rice tossed with chicken 65 pieces (with the curry leaves and all) and fried cashews. It was interesting, but does not deserve to be called biryani.
When you order mutton biryani especially from Uber eats. They don’t have mutton pieces at all. They charge $20 for it and just rice.
Food was good, but was very oily, the menu price is completely different from what my bill said. The manager didnt do anything about it, he sent the waitress over to explain that they are updating the menu. When I was ordering my food I wasnt even informed that the menu was being updated and the actual price for my meal was $2 more, so the menu price for my mutton curry said $13, but my bill said $15, the menu price for the naan said $2 and $3, but my bill said $3 & $4, they said because it was charged they cant do anything about it. Fraudulent prices and it was my first time eating here.
Been there couple of times .. best for biryani but Naan was not so good 😢.. Okayish. Desert go for kurbani ka meeta or double ka meeta..
I am from Hyderabad India, and trying the food at Pista House I can assure you, the food was delicious as hell, I ALWAYS ENJOY BIRYANI every year I go to Hyderabad India and Pista House made me feel like I am in Hyderabad..DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED RESTAURANT TO EVERYONE!
Overall, the food is good. You do have to wait for the food a long period of time before it is served. Some of the stuff is delicious like chicken 65 and bijli chicken. Haleem was different from what I have usually had and thats because I have only had Pakistani Haleem which I still think is a lot better than what they serve. Biryani was fresh and good. The green tikkas are a little too minty for my taste and the red tikkas were filled with masala which wasnt so pleasant till I sat there and removed the masala from the rest of them with a napkin. The naans need to be a little bit fluffier, they are good when they are served but quickly get hard since they are super thin. The staff is friendly but they definitely need more staff, especially on the weekend. Again, the food was good overall and I highly recommend to try out the place.
Latest updated Review:I had to EDIT my review now, since I am regular customer here I found the quality has gone down. The dishes are high on spice level and not always fresh. The amount in eatin and take out are NOT the same & if you don’t check your bill they bombard you with additional charges like gratuity and they overcharge on the dishes at the end.They no longer care for the customers cause they got busier than before.———————————————————Previous Review:So far this is the best Hyderabadi Resturant in New York metro area.Authentic flavorsGreat ambianceFriendly staff.Same amount of food in eat-in & take out unlike other restaurant like Paradise Biryani.I highly recommend it.
Amazing !! Best Haleem in NY Area, Biryani was on point.. the desserts were so authentic - had the Kubani ka Meetha and Kaddhu ka Kheer; both of them really tasty and light with the right amount of sweet. Paan made sure our quick dinner turned out to be a feast !
The was very tasty. Loved it 😋
Initially they maintained food really good , But now they are serving left over food from the plates of buffet , that’s really disgusting , Shane on you Owners !! Don’t get yourself lost in money , when you don’t provide Quality food !1)Chicken 65 is “Worst “( Don’t use fresh Chickn )2)Special chin Biryani - mixed with left over biryani3)Ordered $56 food , No Raita Given ! Poor service & 4)They don’t care about customer Satisfaction 🤬
Ive been to this place just once. Hands down, the best Indian food Ive had in US ever. Biryani is really good. Highly recommend!
I have been going to pista house from almost 4 years but the quality of biryani is day by day becoming worst actually We ordered 2 biryanis but the biryani is not at all good its looks like mixed with all the left over pieces..zero rating for the order and they lost one customer who is buying from almost 4 years
Poor quality (and stale) food (unless you are lucky) for high price from a place which used to make the best briyani in Hicksville.
I tried the haleem and biryani at Pista house. I came in with high expectations for both. However, the haleems dark color was a little unappetizing and the quantity was just enough for a single serving. There was also a slight bitter after taste to the haleem which may be due to an excess of garam masala.The chicken dum biryani had good flavors. However, I was not overwhelmed by it. Pista house needs to up its flavors and modify its recipes to remain competitive in Hicksville.I decided to try the biryani and haleem after a year to see whether there have been any changes to the quality or the taste. However, I was disappointed yet again. The haleem just tasted of ghee and the biryani was a mixture of boiled chicken and rice. I am very disappointed so I have brought my initial rating down from three stars to one star.
Buffet is too expensive @ 16.99 weekend/weekday rate. Restaurant is located out in middle of nowhere. Food Quality, service and taste could definitely use some improvement. Tried the dum biryani and the haleem - nothing special. The place look and feel could be improved - some decor, better lighting and seating rather looks like a huge take away Chinese buffet joint in Mid town Manhattan.
This BAD Customer service experience started before I even arrived! Making phone order seemed to bother the woman who answered the phone — she sounded annoyed; not helpful or hospitable in the least.She kept talking in telugu which was totally gibberish to me.Thank you TON for your yelling and scolding at us. Prepared to be Scolded if They Make a Mistake. Yeah, You Read That Right.The biryani was out of the world but customer service 0.I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Really good food. The naans were flat, but not sure if they just make it like that. Most places Ive been usually have them fluffy. The haleem is really good would go there again just to eat that. The service was a bit slow despite the restaurant being empty, but the food was worth waiting for.
Food was fantastic, i would have given it a 5 star if it had drinks, its brand new and dont have a liquor license yet, and a little small but then it does look out this my be hands down the best Indian restaurant in New york
The biryani was just okay however the haleem tastes identical to the haleem in Hyderabad pista house . Good workBtw for people that are complaining about the haleem containing to much ghee,,,.That’s how authentic haleem is supposed to be. They obviously haven’t had haleem back home
Food tasted good but quantity is lacking. Ordered 3 entrees for pickup but was given rice for one person. Extremely disappointed as food did not turn out to be enough. Not worth the money as its more expensive than other better places like New Chilli and Curry. Quantity not enough not worth it.
06/14/2018 Updated New Alert: They started selling meals s like biryani for 10$ or less between 9-10 PM. Please beware of this, this food was really bad, and I think premade too many days back. I got biryani which really watery taste and chicken was like rubber . And worst part , it made me sick, I guess due to food poisoning. Wish I could change my 1 star to zero.Nothing really special than other south Indian Restaurant around Hicksville.1. Limited food selection and expensive than other restaurants.2. Food quality not great.3. Very congested place, too many tables, 4 people can not sit properly and comfortable on one table.4. Wrong buffet system.. you need to pick the food and You need to ask for naans and desserts.5. Expensive buffet, less selection of food for buffet. Customer service not great. Need to ask so many times even for water to fill out.
I usually like the biryani and haleem here however i am sad about their service. They should seriously look at hiring atleast a couple more people to serve food. The order takes for ever to come to your table. Another instance was during the memorial day weekend where we ordered food 30mins before we reached the restaurant on their website(since they never picked the call for n number of times) and when we reached the restaurant the place was so crowded and i do not see anyone serving at all. We were asked to wait as the food is being packed twice in a 15mins span. After 30mins the lady on the counter says they are out of food. That screwed us an hour and appetite. Delicious food is always enjoyed with good service and punctuality, hope they realise this!!!
Food was great but service was not. We had a party of 7 and when the server came out to give us our food, he just put dishes wherever. Had to spend a bunch of time trading food around until everyone got the dish they ordered.
Thumbs up for this restaurant. This place has the best special chicken biryani around. Very authentic and it tastes like home cooking. It has excellent customer service highly recommend if you miss back Home Biryani or any other non veg dishes. Overall , the food tastes good. A must try place to Indian food lovers.
Amazing food. Delicious Biryanis and Grilled items. I recommend the weekend buffet. We drove 1.5 hours from New Jersey with traffic on the 495 in the summer. worth the drive.
Visiting this place Since opened. Ordered take outs and dined in. Recently ordered catering for birthday party. Everyone enjoyed the food from the party. Their food quality and taste never changed. They are “THE BEST” in all in the whole Long Island. Thank you Pistahouse. Best Recommended Place.
Came to know about this place from a friend and was immediately excited to visit it and try their buffet and haleem. Let me tell you, It doesn’t live up to the brand name Pista House is back in Hyderabad.Found hair in their plates, Pani Puri and glasses. Would like to check if they are running a salon in their kitchen.Buffet isn’t good, Haleem was ok, not the taste you’ll get from a Pista House in Hyderabad. Hence the second star in addition to the default one star.If you’re in the area then maybe try their Haleem but don’t make the mistake of driving long distances like me to try it. It’s a decent taste but not the original Hyderabad taste.
They cheated me, I ordered chicken entree that had boiled egg in it. What I received had no boiled egg in it. Every entree comes with a bowl of rice, I have ordered twice with them, a single entree dish and I got rice with them. Now I ordered two entrees and I still get only one bowl of rice and was told the size was different which I know is a lie. Do not trust this place at all.
Being from Hyderabad I am telling, it’s not worth it1.Initially we ordered appetizer, but we got the appetizer with main course after waiting for 40mins.2. We ordered veg Kabeb, after waiting for 20 mins we got chicken kabeb.3. We didn’t get any salad with the food.At the end, We do except atleast apologies, I don’t think so they even worried about customers inconvenience. With this I can tell even service is not good.
Awesome food. Itz a buffet and you have all the items (non veg) chicken mutton fish prawns etc. Fried prawns r mouth licking delicious. Chicken biryani and mutton biryani almost reach the taste of Hyderabadiii. So is Haleem. They also provide Haleem as complimentary with the buffet. Prices are a lil expensive but what is price when your compare with the taste. Haleem price could have been a little less but yeah, overall its a 5-star experience.
This is a new facility opened recently. Been there already 3 times. The food, the restaurant give you the deel of sitting and eating in a Hyderabad restaurant. Very tasty food. Chicken curries , biryani. Even the naans are well prepared. I would like to visit once again before I leave. Came my friends for dinner and they too loved the food.
First thing before I get into the comments I want to first appreciate the staff who work there for their patience !The buffet concept seriously wastes lot of time! You should either call it a regular dine in service or you put a regular buffet model!It took longer than normal time for the lunch !And the staff was too tired to serve which is understandable !The taste was not authentic to be called a Pista house branch !For this kind of buffet model ,the price is too much !I know difference of opinion matters , but I heard the same opinion from few others !I hope you take this as a suggestion !Thanks
We went for their lunch buffet. We reached at 2:30 pm and their buffet time is until 3:30 pm. They were almost out of food and were taking very long to refill anything. The food was extremely oily. And to top it all the buffet ended up costing us more than $18 (with tax) per person! There are so many better restaurants with much cheaper lunch buffet on Broadway street. Dont go here for lunch buffet at all!!
These are guys are cheating people. I took a togo delivery at 9:30 PM and it is literally masala in the biryani and it is so stale that i had to throw. If i have the time i could write a complaint to the local government body over the stale food. Lady in the reception just brags for money and she have no interest in quality. There is just one guy doing all the work and one more inside. Really the restaurant is not providing the quality it had a month ago.
Good place to have a custom meal and great quality food .
Haleem is authentic pista houses. I like the phattar ka gosht and chicken 65 but not biryani. Restaurant is nice and clean.
Only Haleem was some what authentic!! Biryani was no where close to Hyderabadi pista house! First 3 days quality and taste was good! Tasted biryani today!! Very spicy could not eat , nearly 10 cloves in one biryani!! If he doesn’t maintain quality he is going to ruin pista house name!!
Food may be alright, not great in anyway, but the worse thing about them is that they try to cheat their customers, such a nasty habit to have for a business owner. Just remember if you try to to cheat your customer for 10 or 15 dollars you lose them permanently. They launched a groupon offer and did not honor the terms in the groupon. They try to add unnecessary charges and increase the bill. Such a cheap tactic. I have never visted this place after that bad experience. It has been a year since that happened. I am not the only one this happened to, even my friends had similar experience
Not worth it. The food is over salted and the balance of spices are totally off. Buffet was a waste of time. 12 noon and I was the only customer. Buffett and an order or naan was total $15.20, just for me eating solo. Many other places in area so much better. Skip.....
Buffet lunch Hands down- I cant believe such a best quality food is available in the area of Hicksville/ Nassau County. I am avid eater of Indian/Pakistani food, have traveled across the country but this place has surpassed/blown my all my previous experiences.From entrance to end, everything is classy. So this buffet is a unique experience, they serve buffet just like 5-6 course meal, each item has the best quality. First they serve you with appetizer cauliflower Manchurian is the best, then they serve with veg/no veg Bar bq dishes like chicken, goat, and fish- all dishes with utmost delicious taste. If you chose non/veg as I am, you get chicken, bar b q meat, ( halal), meat bar bq, and fish fry. Then, they serve three types of curries, ( chicken Zalzala, chicken chicken murgh Masala, shrimp curry ), you hardly fishing that then they serve you with THE world famous (Hyderabadi BIRYAN - chicken and mutton with desi Raita) later they serve you with desert.All experience jaw dropping, cant beat this place for buffet.Decors 10/10Quality of food 10/10Service staff 10/10Owner 10/10 humble manQuantity 10/10.Strongly recommended this economical place.Tips: Must try Hyderabadi briyani with raita and their chicken curry ( I guess zalala and muglai). Also their pickles.
The wait time is a lot so prepare to come little early at this restaurant (2* for that).Some items on the menu are not available yet. The food is little bit spicy to my taste.The gravy is not typical restaurant style.The taste comes from cooking their spices for long time and not from greenchilles (3*).Presentation of food is quite good and appetizing.(4*)
Really great food , I am basically from Hyderabad and I am literally craving for Asli hyderabadi cusine since 3 years. I have been through 100s of Indian restaurants in USA but couldnt find this taste.People from Hyderabad this is what you are looking for !!!
This Restaurant recently introduced a lunch box for $ 9.99 which we can fill tiny container can carry less than 200 grams of food. Myself and my friend went over there today and asked for the lunch two lunch box. We filled the boxes and went to up to the reception for making payment. A guy appeared with an aggressive face where we feel that he’s doing a big favor for us. Asked us to pay 27 dollars for two lunch boxes and a Limca. We wondered asked why 27 !! He doesn’t know what to say and after some kind of gold salesman’s calculation said the Limca is 3 dollars. We said no need Limca. Still 25 instead of 22. As I have picked up couple of times with 9.99 and taxes costing around 11 dollars. He said that if you had taken chicken that’s 11 dollars and mutton costs 12 dollars. If only veg 9.99. So it means two spoons of rice (The container have no space for 3 spoons😀) and one veg curry called basic lunch box for 9.99)The lazy guys answer was ‘’ May be our boss increased the price “😀😀.The food quality is below average.Very poor service.45 minutes to get any item on dining table.Same waiter approaching twice or more to take order after he had already taken order.Such an annoying customer service.A buffet costs 22 dollars where no other restaurants charging in Hicksville.Pista house manager : - Please place good staff to keep your business.
Ive gone there multiple times and the quality is always good. The menu has lot of options and everything Ive tired has been great, especially love their Malai Kofta. Really has that Hyderabad Biryani taste, great food.
Got haleem from there.. Too good..
Chicken piece in Egg Biryani, mutton piece in veg biryani.. this is what the customers being served. You can understand how mixing of biryanis will be made behind the screens. The food might be tasty(credit goes to chefs) but the quality is bad as the stored food being served to the customers to make money. I recommend any other Indian restaurants near by instead of wasting money on microwaved food every time.When coming to cleanliness..House fly killer lies just above the Haleem which is being served in bowls on table.The to go containers that contains the mirchi ka salan contains the same dead flies....The rest is explained..
I love their food, maintains Quality and good quantity. Reasonable prices. Must go place.
Amazing Haleem & the best Hyderabadi Biryani, very nice service as well!
I had a very bad experience at pista house , the food quality was good initially when it opened and now its just another indian restaurant in the Hicksville area serving so called authentic indian food with no taste in food , its just more oil and just putting up spices in unbalanced way. Please avoid this place and go to other indian restaurants in Hicksville area with almost similar or better taste with less price.
Being a Hyderabadi, I have missed Hyderabadi Haleem n Biryani a lot in USA but no more. I would suggest everyone to visit Pista House to have authentic Hyderabadi taste. All the dishes are awesome n totally tastes exactly Hyderabadi. No other place in NYC have authentic taste of Hyderabad other than Pista House Hicksville. Come with family n enjoy. 🤪😋😋
I am sorry to say this but it needs a lot of work. I was there in the opening week. We had a group of we. Service was a problem. I am not sure f it is the staff or the slow kitchen. They do not have experience or know how of handling such a business I believe. The food quality was also not so par.I hope the good reviews are not by friends and family. Will not give then another chance. Most probably not.
Excellent food and top class service. Authentic taste. Also the staff and management are very polite and humble. This restaurant has become our no. 1 choice for Indian food.
Awesome experience. Mr. Sriman and a younger gentleman (forgot to ask his name) made great suggestions with the food selections. Went to taste and ended up purchasing for a small party. Cant wait to try their other selections especially the kababs that Mr. Sriman was urging us to try.Definitely worth visiting!
If you want to eat good spicy hydrebadi food, then this is the place. In my personal experience, I did not enjoy their afternoon buffet, felt it was very expensive. But their a la carte menu is fantastic and their portions are also big.
Theyre authentic Hyderabi cuisine experts! From the delectable mutton Haleem and the Biryanis, with the Chicken Bijli being the best amongst curries, they do a fabulous job at BBQ chicken n mutton as well. Definitely recommend for a non-vegetarian and vegetarian alike.
Went for dinner today. First asked the server for suggestions over different varieties of briyani. He respondedI dont know sir. You choose. We were like..uh okay.Ordered plain old dum briyani and Naan.The server asked, Would you like the briyani first .I said sure.Nothing happens after that for next 20 minutes. Remember,This was on a weekday at 9pm. There were hardly 4 tables filled . After 25 minutes, Naan comes in.Surprised that briyani was yet to come, esp when he suggested to bring the briyani first. Anyways, we joked about it and waited for briyani.Then come the briyani. Believe me when I say it was one of the WORST ever briyani. These guys were so good the first couple of weeks and now after so many months,its so worse.Never AGAIN. With rude staff and lethargic owner, end is very soon for them.
The service was excellent. The food tasted good. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Such a warm atmosphere.
Yikes! I was totally sold just when I heard Pista House but man I was shocked! The haleem is no way, anyway near the legendary Hyderabadi Haleem, nor was the Biryani. The taste was not fresh and submerged in Ghee. And Biryani was a disaster, definitely not Hyderabadi. Or did I go on the wrong day?Sadly, Chicago still holds the Hyderabadi food magic And Pista House is light years away from the authentic taste of Hyderabadi cuisine.
Great food and excellent service. These guys know how to take care of their customers.Food was extremely flavorful and each dish had a distinct taste.Definitely recommend it, even thoughthe location is not very fancy.
Service is suppppperrrrr slow. They need to hire more people. 2 people for all those tables arent enough! Setting is nice so is the food if it comes on time. Its horrible and kills the mood when they bring one dish at a time. And not just appetizer, everything came 10 mins after another. I will probably skip going there and just do take out cuz food taste good!
I celebrated my birthday here today and everything was fantastic :) The owner is knowledgeable and attentive to the quality of the menu. I love their tandoori chicken !
The owner lady who stands at the billing counter is very greedy for money. She somehow or the other way adds additional charges. Check your bill twice before paying money. Coming to food quality, its average.If you pay using groupon check for the redemption amount 30$ ( 30 $ worth of Coupon they have in groupon for 15$ ). Service charges are applied on her own will.
Good food, their dishes are North Indian. I had their Grilled kebabs it was amazing. As well I went in the month of Ramadan and went to break my fast there, they had an amazing Ifthar deal over there.
Haleem was imported. Cleary mentioned 160/- Rupees, which they sold it for $15. Although it was pricy, it was good. I ordered a Lamb Hyderabadi curry- Which was not at all good. I felt like eating a tomato curry with few undercooked lamb pieces in it.
Biryani is good. If you are going for buffet skip the appetizers.If i need to rateBiryanis and haleem _ 5 starsAppetizers in buffet -0 stars they are worst. You can even stop serving them
If I have an option to rate 0 star, I would definitely do it.Placed an order for pickup on phone. Person on phone told the order would be ready in 20 minutes. I went to pickup my order around 30 minutes.I was told order is getting readyin 10 minutes. I waited for 1 hour to receive my order. Front desk Person has no idea what they were talking.Advice: stop giving fake promises to costumers and dont let them wait for your mistake.Food was OK. I am very disappointed with there service and the way they treat costumers.I would definitely not recommend any one to visit this place.
Best food place on Long Island. Must visit , highly recommended. Nice staff and clean place. Reasonable prices.
Waited for an hour and a half for an order to find out it wasn’t coming and dissent even have the decency to contact me. They made the DoorDash driver go all the way to the restaurant and had him call.
I ordered chicken 65 and egg biryani from Pista House to go , first thing chicken 65 was not upto the expectations and egg biryani had chicken pieces in it . Which is not good , egg biryani just had plain rice and fried eggs but no masala , I wouldn’t recommend any one in Hicksville to go there !
We ordered kabab platter , haleem and biryani, chicken 65 everything was so yummy . MUST TRY HALEEM guys taste the same as hyderbadi Pista House.
The food was really good , we enjoyed a lot with our family, mutton biryani was really good
Very nice place for authentic Indian/ original Andhra food.The true Costal Andhra uluvacharu biriyani.
Excellent food with authentic biryani. Owner treated my group of 10 like family ! Waiters were nice but service could be a little slow on busy nights but food is worth the wait.
Love their boneless chicken biryani, its spicy but delicious. Havent ever dined in. Their line always seem to be busy when I call to order take out so I have to go in and order and wait.
Quality of both veg and non-veg food was very good, one of best authentic Indian restaurant serving Indian food in Long Island, decent customer service, staff is humble and helpful. service could be a little slow on weekends but food is worth the wait,
I tried lunch buffet at this restaurant. Quality and taste of food was excellent. Service was good too. Though little pricey, but its worth the money. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
This place is garbage. The owner said he is Hindu and are claiming to be selling halal food ?!?! Why??? They lied to us so I left my order. The Manager is extremely rude and started to curse in the restaurant. I left my order and will never be going back. This restaurant is a waste of space in Hicksville...just close it already.
Worst Haleem I ever had. Full of ghee. No taste. If you want to get a heart attack you are very welcome there.
Guys this is a highly important message for all the people who are viewing this.....I have been working at this restaurant for over a period of six months and i it is really shameful that the restaurant is known well for exploiting the people who works in it monetarily be it servers or chefs.U guys must be wondering reading the previous reviews that how come the service is so bad of such a good restaurant where the food tastes so good ill tell u the reason is so because the hourly wage of the people working here is 6.5 $ which is far far below the minimum allowed wage as per the NY LABOR LAW.Plus the its the first restaurant where the tip box lies somewhere inside the table where the cashier stands she is the owners wife of this so called reputed restaurant.She forces the customers to come up to the counter and pay the total amount by credit or debit so that the whole tip goes to the restaurant.They make new people work the whole day telling them that ur whole day shall be counted as training with no pay.This restaurant should be shut with no business as cheating people and not paying them making them work is no way of setting up a reputed business.Lets come to the food guys...As a server for six months let me tell u the inside story behind the screensThe biriyani rice that the owner claims as the best biriyani in town contains the rice which is three days old microwaved for 8 minutes before being served and the non veg platter served during the buffet hours as appetizers on the table which incase when half eaten by customers and taken behind the kitchen and the unused chicken kabab pieces are then served to the next customer as appetizer in the buffet.Guys please read the whole thing before visiting the restaurant to eat food.....A restaurant where the microwave is more active than the kitchen grill.
Compared to other restaurants they charge more but it is worth it you are foodie looking for Indian authentic food.They have variety of Indian cousins. Best one is Chicken biryani.
The worst place I’ve ever been to. No respect to customers, only one waiter for the entire restaurant. Worst service!!!!!! Owner lady is very greedy and cheaty and over charges!!!! I hated this place. For all the good reviews posted over here are the result of( write a good review -> take discount) yes it’s true!!!
I love their haleem. I always order take out. Today went for lunch buffet. Food is so tasty, fresh and hot. I will visit again.
I mean I have tried the food from different places and I have never eaten the way I ate today... it’s like everything is so delicious.... I don’t know who hates it but it’s highly recommend you try it yourself.... this place will take over all Indian food joints soon... good luck to the owner see you soon!!
😒😒 Really upset. A friend recommended the place I called them at 5:00pm Saturday they said the restaurant is open. Once we reached there the restaurant was closed. I called again they said we will open at 5:30. We waited we went into shop at 5:40. The doors were open but team was not in the mood to serve. They said we will open today at 6:00pm. We left and really enjoyed our food at Kababjee.
I love posts house Haleem and biryani however I feel like they are wayyy too pricey. 13 bucks for Haleem is too much. I feel like if go more if they were more affordable.
If u like Indian food thats the best one out there jalapeno and cheese SAMossa u gotta try
Best Quality food in the town. Clean and good service. During this virus season, I can trust only this place. Highly recommended. Thank you for the best food and service.
Best food in the town. Ordered catering. Everyone loved the food, great taste. and well packed, food came in hot box. no need to worry about heating food in party. Highly recommended.
Real taste of biryani and haleem.Very good buffet with lot options.Everything was perfect........ No limit of words for this tasty food.
Worst restaurant ever , ordered food on grub hub and called them to add extra masala , the order comes there is no masala in the biryani . I called the restaurant but the owner defends and said there’s masala and he packed the biryani with his own hands . I recommend none of my friends to visit this restaurant.
Un hygiene foodWorst worst biryaniPlease don’t buy from this restaurantWorstWorstWorstWorstWorstWorst worst
I want to give 10 stars if I can. The best restaurant in Long Island. Visited multiple times, taste and quality never changed since opened. Clean and nice place. Recommended.
Tried there paneer tikka and my wife tried chicken tikka.Paneer tikka was flavorful but was little bit on drier side. However chicken tikka was good as told to me by wife.Quantity is less as I am into paneer tikka and had it from few other places so I know by comparison that it was a little less. Level of spices were good so all in all 4 stars for now.
Recently opened ... Really good Indian biryani... Lunch buffet served in table... With very good haleem, starters, chicken and mutton biriyani served with mutton and chicken curry...I think its gonna be the best Indian restaurant in long island area....
The chicken pieces are not what you expect in Biryani, insult to Hyderabad Biryani and Pista House brandThe pieces are few and small pieces that is almost 1/2 of what you get at any biryani place
Biryani is good in taste.. I will try again with one caution... I ordered one veg biryani... they filled the to go box upto 3/4 level... I see 1/4 empty box... I felt I should cook my own biryani at home for that price and quantity.
Excellent place to have authentic Hyderabadi food. Ambiance is very good, Food taste is authentic and very delicious. Vegetarian food taste is also good. Must try !!!!
Very bad service, someone directed us to the table when we stepped in and didnt even care of giving water or menu. We waited so long and no one bother to care, even the management people are moving around the table but didnt notice for long time. So we stepped out of there. And the concept of the buffet isnt that great.
I just loved the food..I dot have words how tasty haleem n biryani was and at the we tried the desert khubani Ka meetha... totally in love with this place.. wanna come back again and again...
Their Tandoori fish is really good. Biriyani is ok.
Very tasty food, best indian place on longisland. excellent service.
If your looking for the best authentic hyderabadi food,this is the place to be... The food was amazing and so was the service, chicken 65 and goat haleem is a must try...not to forget Santosh was friendly and welcoming...I will definitely come back...!!!
Food just ok, not good.. Decor is nice, staff is friendly.. The original one in Hyderabad is a million times better in terms of food.. The last one was my first and the last visit..
Best Quality food in the town. Clean and good service. During this virus season, I can trust only this place. Highly recommended. Thank you for the best food and service.
EXCELLENT food that I cant describe enough. The staff is great and always ask for recommendations! I never had something from this restaurant that I disliked!!! Love love looove this place!
Finally visited this place, food is so tasty and they have lot of varieties in buffet. Price Worthy. Real hyderabadi food. will visit again.
0/10 customer service.Manager shreemaam asked me to stop showing attitude when I asked why did my order took 1 hour. He cancelled my order after making me wait for 1 hour. Do not ever go to this restaurant
We went for lunch buffet on weekday.. Food quality was good. Appetizers options were less. But overall it was great. Tea was also great.
One of the most authentic hyderabadi biryani and a must go for their Haleem. They got a variety of menu and the food always good.
Great haleem, and tasty biryani. Good quality
Both food and service are good.however requirs a bit of update to ambiance, decore and offerings to attract new generation of families
Worst experience, not recommended for any new customers. Prices are hiked and no quality and poor customer service
Please stop serving old food. I came back hoping that I would get better food this time but not so surprisingly I didn’t get any. Please improve your quality otherwise you will be next “Godavari”.
I like this restaurant. They maintain quality and food consistency all the times. Clean and nice. Overall 5 stars.
The go to place for hyderabadi delicacies. Love their mutton haleem and biryani. Alot of options on their big menu of appetizers, soups, naans and desserts. Love the place.
I came here last week on a close friends recommendation .... and the food was extremely delicious.....a true taste of Hyderabadi dum biryani....good service .....highly recommended!
Omg.. born and raised in Hyderabad but this place is seriously misrepresented and the service is horrible so is the food. Need to clean this place up a bit and should be owned by true Hyderabadis
Food not that flavorful. There are more better places in the same area. Waited for almost 1 hour from when I placed my order to receive my take out.
Just ok Indian food. Had Dum Biryani which seemed bland. Maybe I will try again someday for a second time to see if its any better
Highly not recommended!!!!!
Too much expensive place , quality of food is very bad, I would like to give less than a star if you dont have what customer ordered please let them know that you are out of particular item/decline the order
Planned trip far to pistahouse, really awesome food. Never had this kind of tasty food. Nice place. Best quality food. Will plan again. Must visit place.
Very good food, the best Indian restaurant in Hicksville and on Long Island.
If you are looking for Haleem, then go here. It’s the best Haleem in NY.
I dont understand why a review is deleted on Yelp if it gives a genuine opinion all most all the reviews are fake here and on yelp good reviews are only kept and rest are deleted. I heard couple of my friends reviews are also being deleted.
I have never written any review but this one deserves one:1) Over priced (for example $3 dollars a nan bread)2) Food serving delays3) Food quality good but quantity is limited (not for large group of people)4) Will not go there again.Thanks.

2022-04-28Hi Foodies! Firstly sorry this would be a bit long review but its worth reading.Briefly- Please I dont suggest anyone going to this restaurant Also just dont see name and go its not the same taste as pistahouse everywhere.We went to this restaurant on Friday all the way from Boston. We called the restaurant before we reach the place whether everything is available and is it OK if we order over the phone. They said us to order over the phone. Our order was 4 haleem, 2 Mutton biryani , 1 chicken biryani, panner tikka and couple of Non- veg appetizers.Coming to the service, A lady was serving our table she got the appetizer, haleem and the biryani. Then we recognized the quantity of biryani was way too less. As the bowl was shallow. As seen in the pictures. We asked the lady the biryani quantity is too less her response with rude behavior was we served you more quantity then what we generally get we were like Ok thought not to argue with her.Coming to taste, The haleem is tasteless generally we see haleem with ghee but here they have water in it you can see that in the pictures. Coming to panner Tikka there is spices nor salt just the food color. Then we called them and asked what is this they accept that panner was marinated 1 hour back so it was there mistake and said will remove from the bill. Haleem they said they would replace it. They replaced the haleem and got the same haleem which is of water instead of ghee. Coming to biryani, mutton biryani was too salty we cant even eat. Chicken biryani they are out that I guess. We got mutton meat in it and that was also salty as it was the same rice just added the chicken meat to it.Coming to billing, Initially over bill was around 284 something after taking out the above said items. It came down to 160.Thanks for reading. I hope this would be helpful.

2022-01-12The lunch special is an unbelievable deal. I dont think you could get more anywhere else for $9.99. Seriously the naan is the size of a small pizza (photo isnt justice), plus plenty of chicken and rice. The taste and spice is perfect.
Review №3
2022-06-26Haleem is what Pista House is famous for, but this Pista House is ruining that fame! Not only it has loads and loads of ghee (I am talking about an extreme amount here), it also always seems to be old (not fresh at all). Let me tell you that the taste is good, which makes you feel like eating it, but your stomach can tell its unhealthy right after. They must improve its quality, they make it very tasty, just make it fresh and with less ghee, please!

2021-11-28My friend had an worst experience in my life time I never saw a broccoli comes in a biryani. While they spoke to the representative they are so rude and unable to take customer feedback and compensate
Review №5
2022-02-04Not only did the food itself blow my mind, the whole experience here at pista house was great. The staff were incredibly thorough and friendly and it felt as if we were treated with a warm hug via our taste buds. The gobi Manchurian was INCREDIBLE, I’ve had this dish at other restaurants before but this place tops it all. Everything was spiced and flavored to perfection and portion sizes were quite generous. 10/10 recommend!

2022-02-03The best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had! Food was very delicious and the price was fair. Customer service was great as well, very polite and fast. It’s my go-to restaurant now!

2022-04-02Food was really good and cheap price for what you’re getting and a lunch special 999 where can you find a better deal than that. really nice vibe staff was very nice. I will continue coming here highly recommended!

2022-04-17Worst experience ever! Biryani was cold, tasteless , bland and not fresh at all. The restaurant was filled with raw meat smell. 18% service charge is not worth for the absolutely no “service” as such. Credit card charge without prior notice is unacceptable.
Review №9
2022-03-31Lovely food. Travelled from exit 64. Enjoyed the best quality food never had before. Prices are cheaper than other places. Very reasonable. Must go place for quality food. Highly recommended. Thank you for the tasty food.

2022-06-27I drop by here whenever I’m in town for work. The food is delicious and served quickly. The waiter is always prompt and polite. The serving sizes are large and they’ll give you to go containers.
