I got the nethi mamsam roast biryani and it was delicious! The meat is very tender and spiced well. The rice is delicious by itself. You can taste the cardamom, cloves, and star anise. There's just enough heat that you can feel it build up, but not enough to make your nose run. Very friendly staff. It's hard to find good Indian food in San Diego, so I'm happy to have found this place.

Mr. Biryani serves some of the most flavored biryani with unique taste I've ever had in San Diego. Check out their BOGO sale on biryani's which is limited offer. We tried Nethi mamsam roast biryani (Goat) and Chicken Fry Piece Biryani.

This is hands down the best Indian food I’ve ever had in my life! I got the goat briyani and chicken briyani and I’m blown away. The portion sizes are huge, the goat and chicken are both so tender, the herbs and spices are incredibly fresh. The menu at Mr.Briyani is huge with plenty of snacks, desserts, and drinks to pair with your meal too. I got the sapota, and it was delicious and refreshing! I can’t wait to come back

Best for a to go. They have a lot of varieties of biriyani. We had Vijayawada biriyani and the most SPICY 🌶️ biriyani. Love it. As long as they keep the same price, it’s value for money. It beats all their competitors around Mira Mesa.

We tried chilli gobi biryani in their BOGO limited offer and it was pretty decent. They have a very elaborate menu including the bakery. We look forward to trying more of their delicacies.

We had punugulu, egg puff, pakodi, onion samosa. All the food was so fresh. We love the honey cake.

Accidentally come across this Biryani ( had boneless chicken) place! Am I glad… very interesting concept of this Franchise? Fast food & casual dining atmosphere But excellent tasting Biryani with a South Indian Twist I would say! And in a store that also has Indian Grocery and A Halal Mutton shop ! Strongly recommend…

If you’re looking for authentic Indian flavors and a welcoming experience, Mr. Biryani is the spot! Nestled inside an Indian grocery store, this gem offers some of the best biryani and snacks I’ve ever had. Today, I met Sundeep, the owner, and he truly made my visit exceptional. He’s a great guy—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about his food. When I asked for recommendations, he immediately understood my cravings. I told him I was thinking about the chili fish biryani but was nervous because how often do you eat fish biryani. Being from Goa, where fish is close to my heart, I was thrilled to try it. And let me tell you—it was AMAZING! Packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice, it’s officially my new favorite biryani. I’ve also had their Chicken Fry Biryani before, which was equally fantastic, and I never leave without grabbing their Veg Puffs. The puffs remind me of tea time in Mumbai—so nostalgic and absolutely delicious. Whether you’re craving biryani, snacks, or just a taste of home, Mr. Biryani delivers every time. Highly recommend!

Mr Biryani is probably the best place in San Diego for biryani. We’ve had their chicken, gutti vankaya and neethi masam biryani but their neethi masam one is probably the best one I’ve had in the US. It’s goat meat and the meat is so juicy and tender. It was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

One the places to get authentic South Indian Food. We tried a lot of things at this place are we loved Chai, Puffs, Mysore Bonda and a lot of other snacks. Curries are really nice as well. The quantity and quality for the price they offer is very nice. Vijayawada Chicken and Curry Leaf Chicken are my other favorites.

Excellent biryani, starters and desserts. They have awesome cakes with unique flavors as well. I did take out multiple times and it’s always delicious, we also did catering for our gender reveal function and ordered butterscotch cake and it was amazing. Recommended.

Amazing biryani spot in Mira mera. No one can beat them if they don’t hike up their prices. The ladies on the cash register were very polite and professional. The biryani was delicious and I will be back here again. Please keep the consistency going since I will be recommending this spot to bunch of my biryani lovers.🙏🏽

While I was very excited to try this place , I was disappointed with the taste of special boneless biryani . It seems as if they just spread chicken 65 over rice . It was really dry and there is no gravy at all. I hope they will improve as this restaurant is all about biryani and this has to be fixed for them to nourish in future.

I was pretty excited to have Ulvacharu biryani, but I don’t think they make it how it’s supposed to. They have the rice separate and the gravy separate. We got a few of their paneer dishes, and the paneer was pretty bad quality.

I ordered online for a paneer biryani and got a non veg biryani. I called to report it and extremely disappointed with their response. Requested them to deliver a veg biryani for their mistake but they refused to deliver it. The order didnt come with a reciept. At this level it is not difficult to say that there is something fundamentally wrong in their practise and process they following with food delivery. I doubt if they are taking required measures to keep veg and non veg items seperate. If you are a vegetarian dont order from this place.

Yesterday i have order chilly gobi biryani but taste is not good and it's not look as biryani and the red gravy is not there its look like only rice and gobi and i ask for raita and they not give extra raita as a we give 13$ and it's not worth waste of money.

This is Indian restaurant inside Indian grocery store Namaste Plaza. While the grocery store is good, the restaurant is a disappointment, with not a single vegan option. I understand about biryanis as a lot add ghee, but not even the curries. If you are vegan, stay away from this place

I had ordered a special boneless chicken biryani, the order was a disaster, I have never been more disappointed with food in the recent times as today, Tl;dr - better to try other Indian food places than this. So bad Problem 1 - Cold food, biryani was cold, eating cold biryani is like the worst thing ever, they did not cook it fresh and just tried to heat it up in microwave before sending it out and even that they could not do properly. Problem 2 - The taste, taste was non existent, the chicken was heavy with food color, no salt no chilli, nothing literally nothing, special chicken biryani should have masala in it, but it did not Problem 3 - Rice, the most unflavored rice ever, if food can have feelings, the dish represents indifference, it feels as if life has been sucked out of the dish Problem 4 - Hair in dish Problem 5 - Raita is spoilt, they did not refrigerate the rita well, the yogurt/curd broke
