Pista House

Whilst in town for work I find myself rotating Indian restaurants in the area, there are plenty to pick from folks, and Pista House has become an enjoyable addition to the rotation. Counter service(ish) walk in and order at the counter. You'll receive a number/table tent, grab your needed plates/cutlery/et al and you can go have a seat. When your item(s) are ready they will bring them over to you. Whilst they have an pretty expansive menu, I find myself going to the same thing time and time again: Palak Paneer, Naan (of some kind), and samosas. The wait time is typically rather short and the food comes out H O T! Like numerous times I've burned my tongue diving in so patience will take you far in overall enjoyment of your meal and overall I've had consistency on quality and serving portions I've received. Now when it comes to service, don't expect much-no frills, short interaction with minimal service. This is not a complaint, just an observation to help temper your expectations. But if you're looking for a tasty Indian dinner you can rely on, look no further that Pista House.

Tried their haleem during Ramadan. Honestly I don't know what the hype is about. It was average and probably would not try it again. Not even close to how good pista house Haleem is in Hyderabad. But for US standards, it's average.

ARE YOU MISSING HYDERABADI HALEEM?? YES, this is the place for everyone 365 days a. They serve the same authentic taste of haleem, which has the same Hyderabad essence! I loved it; Been here multiple times when feeling bored of cooking; I think this is the place next to home food and yummy snacks. Haleem is the best, and their biryanis are yummy. And not to mention their Meat Appetizers and Sweets. I loved the food and will be there next time !!Don't forget to have desserts and paan. The ambiance was good. The service was excellent.

The place was crowded on a late Sunday night, and there weren't any tables available. We had to wait for at least 20 mins to find a table, and there wasn't any waiting area. We had to stand in the middle of the restaurant while waiting. The food was below average. We ordered mutton biryani and apollo fish. The taste of the fish was very bad. It was creamy instead of tangy. The biryani wasn't great either.

I tried the pan over here. It was nice fresh and tasty. 5/5Also bough jalebi. It wasn't that great. 3/5.

It's always biryani time - I mean breakfast, lunch and dinner are all suitable times.I always leave it to the masters to cook it for me though since I dare not attempt it at home myself and sacrifice precious ingredients. So when the craving hit me like a ton of bricks one fine day, I decided on biryani delivery. Didn't want to try the dum chicken biryani which is a staple and was intrigued by an offering they had titled "Vijayawada chicken biryani" - Vijayawada being the name of a city,When I took at look at it for the first time, it looked no different than a normal dum biryani in terms of color of the rice, the chopped onions and cilantro on top - I knew the goodies were on the inside.Dig a little deeper and you find a very generous amount of chicken - done without bones and with a spice blend quite more aggressive in terms of flavor, not heat, than a quintessential Hyderabadi offering. The chicken was moist and succulent, the rice being fragrant and delicious. I did miss a boiled egg, but I didn't dwell on it for too long because the rest of it was so good.Channa Masala - A gravy dish done with chickpeas and with a blend of spices and cilantro was tasty, but uneventful.As was the garlic naan which in this case didn't have a dabbing of garlic oil/sauce coated over it, but rather smaller pieces of garlic strewn through which I did not prefer.I also ordered a portion of a dessert (not pictured here) called Double-ka-meetha which is famous in the region this restaurant's food hails from. What this is is an Indian version of bread pudding - bread soaked in sugar and milk and usually sprinkled with nuts/dried fruit.As with any Indian dessert, it is usually too sweet for someone whose palate is either not accustomed to it / not their preference.But for someone with an extra sweet tooth, it was the perfect end to a meal.

Fake and not halal . Please do not lie about being the authentic when you are not . The food is not HALAL and not tasty

If you want food come here. Someone cares in the kitchen. No plates and everything is togo but i dont care. They put all their focus into good food.

Had jackfruit biryani and Paneer biryani here. Both of them tasted really good and apart from the food the service was nice. We took our 2 year old for dine-in and sweet of them to make yogurt rice upon request for him. I would definitely visit again if I visit Dallas.

Amazing Haleem and biryani and sweets please open in Charlotte NC or South Carolina so many desi here you sell out every day!! Please consider!
