I usually eat at the vietnamese restaurant next door but I wanted something different. I went to their menu on line. Pictures of their burgers and chicken sandwiches looked good. I ordered a crispy chicken sandwich and fries. After a 40 minute wait I received a sandwich with a thin probably previously frozen pattie made with ground chicken. Nothing crispy about the sandwich since it was grilled. Fries were ok. I ordered chicken bryani to go. Haven't tried it yet. Hopefully better than my chicken sandwich. Next time I will go to the vietnamese restaurant.
Just tried the chicken Bryani I bought to go. It's delicious. In the future I will order food to go and stay away from their sandwiches.

Food was good overall but very spicy. Chicken karahi was no where close to what would expect from a Pakistani restaurant. Hummus was awesome! Naan was also great and fresh from the oven!
I haven't been to this place in years & forgot how delicious it was. I really enjoyed my meal & the good customer service at this restaurant! The exotic spices, music & fresh food was amazing. The place is kid friendly and the booths are roomy & comfortable. I like that a salad is included on the side of the meals. The regular Naan bread with the garlic dipping sauce & spicy beef dish is amazing! I get mine spicy. I can't wait to go back when I'm in that area again.
Attended a birthday event. The food was amazing, and so was the service!
We’ve been hosting annual iftar parties here for a few years now- our guests always enjoy the food and we always get so many compliments! Their chicken corn soup is one of my favorite items on their menu. They also do an amazing job with their bbq items- check out their Bihari kabob!
Good place if you enjoy buffets. But in Ramadan, it’s fully packed, so please book your table in advance. Also, you need to wait in a long line to eat and get food because it’s a buffet restaurant and it’s a very small, not so open place. But on a regular day, it’s a nice place to go for a buffet, especially during Ramadan.
Absolutely fantastic kabob. The meats are extremely high quality cooked perfectly with just the right spice. Truly wonderful. And the bread is amazing! Order extra bread you will thank me later. I highly recommend Kabob Korner! Go there for today.
We came from Dallas and did our Iftar here.
Best food and best service. Very reasonable price.
Waitress and receptionist are very friendly and knowledgeable.

A must try experience in Houston. Indian buffet place and dine in with unique dishes that you cannot get at any other restaurant.
Food has a home cooked flavor and the service is also excellent. 👌

I went to this place the other day with my fellow clinical extern and our Attending. The place was booked by some friend or colleague of his for a get together. Loved the food, met some sweet people of the medical fraternity here in Houston. Nice experience.
It was our first time here and the service was great! They took the time to explain the menu and how we can customize to what we want. They were also having a buffet at the same time which I thought was really cool! Great vibes, clean and best of all the food was great! Would definitely recommend and come back! They also have fresh drinks made in house!
Tried their buffet, don’t know what is the hype about. Regret spending money here.
Unhygenic aswell.
Only one thing was actually worth eating, shrimps! I had tons of that

I've raved about Tempura to my friends for years. I think they have the best Indian food in this part of town. I eat in at the buffet a lot which is great but order take out more. My staples are the chicken and goat biriyani, palak paneer and chicken karahi. Have ordered from them since they opened. Unfortunately in the last couple of months, the takeout favorites have not been the same. Biriyani containers have gotten smaller from the styrofoam ones and at most two or three small pieces of chicken or goat, essentially just rice, same for the chicken Karachi, not meaty pieces. The glass containers I transferred the food into when i get home used to be full to the top, now half. I just picked up my order of favorites and was disappointed for the third time in a row, makes me think it'sthe way it'sgoing to be. I hope you go back to the quality that made you my favorite.

We went there for their Thursday buffet and everything was delicious! The price was pocket friendly too♥️
Dive into a culinary haven in Houston, where authenticity meets excellence in Indian cuisine, particularly renowned for its delectable Biryani. This place stands out as one of the finest destinations for those seeking an authentic and flavorful Indian dining experience. Highly recommended, it consistently delivers a gastronomic journey that transcends expectations. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Indian flavors, making it a must-visit for any discerning food enthusiast in Houston.
It was first time there and the experience was delightful. The food was awesome and so as the host. They served fast the food and I would recommend this place.
We traveled from New Orleans and it was kind of food trip for us since Houston has so many Indian restaurants. Biryani Factory was awesome. Service is excellent, taste 10/10 and it is one of our favorites from now on.
The food was delicious! The chicken 65 had the perfect spice level and so much flavor. The 2 orders of garlic naan was hands down the best I have had, it was crispy on the bottom and soft on top. We finished with Gulab Jamun for dessert and I could eat 3 or 4 orders of that stuff, seriously delicious. The man who took our order was so friendly, welcoming, and thorough when getting our order, ensuring we got what we wanted how we wanted it. Everything we ordered was less than $25.We will absolutely be returning and I would recommend this place if you want good service and delicious food for a very reasonable price.
Guys it’s authentic Hyderabadi biryani, also try their double ka mitha and that was amazing too. Vinod Anna’s service was outstanding and he did really good job for food recommendation. We will be visiting again.
Great service and delicious food. We got the chicken tikka masala with goat biryani and naan and mango lassi. Good spice too!
The food was awesome, all the kebobs and biriyani taste so good. The rice was tender and juicy, not dry like other places. Salad, raita and tamarind sauce complemented all the items. It was a satisfied meal. Service was really good, at the end they offered you some freshly made malai boti kebobs and chicken tikka as well at the table. Must try BBQ buffet on Monday!
We had BBQ night on Monday. Great experience. Delicious food, top notch service. Never had to wait for naan or puri, so fast service.
We have been here couple of times for Nihari night too. Never been disappointed. I would recommend this place any day.

The food was awesome, so was the atmosphere, and the owner. 10/10 would recommend. Check this place out if you're in the area.
This is by far one of the most amazing restaurants I have been too. I got the mixed grill platter which was PACKED to the top. The meat was so juicy and tender and had so much flavor. It just looked so amazing. I got the beef nihari which was also very flavorful. And I got a papri Chaat. It had so many components to it and was packed with flavor. All the food had very big portions and had amazing flavor. We drove from there all the way to Austin and the food was still sooo good. The place was very clean and had a nice vibe to it. The service was also very fast and they were very nice. Overall all of the food was absolutely amazing and I will definitely be coming back here again. This is a hidden gem !!!!
I went to the halal spot after seeing a promotion for Thursday’s. Restaurant was spotless clean and squeaky. It is nicely decorated. Staff is confused. Ordered chaat and asked what kind they have. The girl called this guy who told me papri chaat was available. I told them to make it spicy. They told me it is enough spicy. I requested extra spicy to which they said “no, i will give extra spice sauce in a cup”. I was annoyed but didn’t say anything. Did not have to wait for too long. Food came before 5 min waiting time. It was a lot compared with the price value. It was good but it was not spicy. They gave extra tamarind sauce !!!! Is that what they understood by extra spicy!!!! No red hot sauce or any condiments to add more !!! Anyways Kabab Korner’s Chaat is still the best. Maybe I will go back to try the other items on the menu. Let’s see.
Stopped in and ordered beef bahari kabab and chicken kabab to go. It was SO GOOD!! The meat is super flavorful, great spices. Definitely a must try!! I live out of state but I will be back next time I'm in town.
We ordered food today but i must say it was a big disappointment. I wish i had an option to give negative stars.
I never had biryani like this. It was so bad. As they gave some tasteless yellow rice with mix of some boiled chicken I guess. And they call it as a biryani.
I ordered food so I can enjoy it. But finally I have to eat this tasteless biryani with my homemade sabji.
It came with raita and some curry sauce. Raita had only 3 to 4 small pieces of onion and one Corinnder leaf and with lots of water. It was so liquid that I am not able to find the yogurt in it. And same case with that curry sauce. And both are the tasteless.
Atleast maintain some taste and quality when you are charging cutomers. Just change the name of the restaurant. It should not be the biryani factory with such kind of biryani.

We read a lot of restaurant reviews on our extended trip to Houston and there were some really good things about the buffet here so thought to try it. First impression - Restaurant seemed nice, airy and clean. We went at the start time of the buffet and they were still bringing food out. It was the usual Pakistani buffet, no texmex items like we expected from previous menus. Owner said menu changes every week. Bohri biriyani lacked salt, gola kabab was over salted to the point of bitter. The rest of the kababs - chicken malai boti, chicken tandoori, beef Bihari was okay. Puri came late but they were good. There was chicken strips, nuggets, fries for kids. There was one kind of dessert, don’t think I tried it. Also, tea and a pink drink and salad for all. Overall, middle of the road. About $17.99 USD and $21 CAD. Kids under 5 eat free.
Thought of eating some good biryani while visiting Houston. We ordered the fish 65 and gobi manchurian for appetizers and the chicken dum biryani & boneless chicken biryani for entreés. For dessert we had the ras malai. The food and service was very good. This is our second time eating at this restaurant and will definitely be back.
Nice food. Biryani was nice. Plain and simple. They don’t put so much spices which kept flavor intact. Chicken sukka (roasted chicken) was also very good.
Excellent food and exceptional service

Really impressed with all the new menu items and the variety of options. We really enjoy this place and the food is high quality. Seating is comfortable. Parking lot is big and convenient entrances. Of course cards are accepted.

I had the best Halwa puri here! Chicken biryani was good, but it had too much garam masala. The Bihari and Chicken tikka was okay; it can use more seasons. Overall, the food was good. I do think the chutney needs improvement.
The food and staff were awesome. Was clean. Inside. We ordered beef bihari, chicken Tikka (leg and breast), halwa puri special, naan, paratha, and chicken boti paratha rolls. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked to order. The food is a little more on the spicer side which I preferred.
We had no intention of eating here. I only stopped to get a drink and take pictures of the Riksha 🤭but the Uncle from Paan ki Dukan suggested that we must eat here. Only upon his recommendation we decided to eat.
We ordered a kids meal, beef Bihari kabab with naan and a beef bihari roll. I just wished i had tried something different instead of two similar things.
The flavors were on spot. We didn’t like cucumbers in the roll but the server said that’s how most of their customers like it.
One thing about this restaurant impressed me and that was their clean restrooms. 👍
Halal and amazing flavors with beautiful interior.

We got the buffet option since this way we could try multiple items and didn't have to wait for the food. There were plenty of items on the menu, including appetizers and dessert. We tried the chicken corn soup, chicken hot and sour soup, chicken Tikka, chicken kabab, paya, karahi, biryani, fried rice, fried shrimp, and sesame chicken. Everything we tried tasty, fresh, and hot. The staff would bring out fresh food everytime something got low. They had plenty of clean plates and the restaurant itself was clean. They bring fresh naan to your table as well. Definitely coming back next time we are on this side of town.
Under new management since Nov 2022, this place has truly turned around. The Bbq is authentic and delicious, and friendly service and a clean and well maintained location. Definitely try their tikka, beef bihari and paratha!

Amazing place and delicious food
My most favorite is chicken shawarma platter along with yellow rice and hummus
Everything I’ve ordered here tasted delicious
If you wanna try out gravy or curry please try the chicken tikka masala! It’s absolutely amazing and also the price is fair enough
Have been their customer for long time and when I tried to place an order over the call, they asked me to pay over the call whereas I always paid in store and when I asked why? They said I was not in the system which sounded ridiculous and that’s the reason I’m dropping one star down. Don’t feel safe these days giving out your credit card details over call.
Dear owner after this review for not being in system I order again but same issue ! Asked for payment over call now don’t say you change your system every month! 🙄

We got the family deal 2, that came with insane amount of food and had little bit of everything that the restaurant is known for. Beware, their chicken behari is a bit spicy (which I loved) It was an exceptional experience and my guest loved it!
First time visiting Houston, Texas.
This is our first lunch after landed in here. It’s pretty cheap and taste is very much better as a price wise. It’s very welcoming place to seat and eat with your family and friends.
Goat biryani and faluda is recommended.
