Biriyani Kabob House

This hole-in-the-wall restaurant is a must-try! Probably my favorite spot I've had for Indian/Pakistani food, though I am no expert. Situated in a small plaza, this unassuming Biriyani spot packs so much flavor into each dish. They fortunately have a parking lot, but unfortunately, it is pretty small and spots are limited. The restaurant itself is also compact, using the space effectively to accommodate customers that opt to dine-in. Service is no frills yet friendly and quick. If you pay cash, you save 5% apparently. Each entree comes with your choice of either plain naan or white rice, no substitutions or upgrades!! We ordered the chicken tandoori (4 pieces) with rice, lamb korma with plain naan, and an additional garlic naan. Total came out to $36 after paying in cash. The highlight of the night was the chicken tandoori. Portion was GENEROUS and the meat was so tender (we were first only using a fork and spoon to get the meat off the bone). AND SO FLAVORFUL. This is what chicken tandoori is supposed to taste like. The complementary sauce on the side added a nice touch. Lamb korma sauce was yum, I've never tasted anything like it, a bit on the sweeter side. Garlic naan was solid but lacking compared to the other dishes, expected more of a garlic punch. Will be back to try more SOON.

Biryani Kabob House is located in a small shopping center. Finding parking close to the restaurant can be a challenge. The inside of the restaurant is small and informal, with seating capacity of around 25 to 30 people. I started with an aloo samosa as an appetizer and was pleased with the taste and its freshness. For the main course, I ordered beef Biryani, chicken Karahi, and Aloo Paratha with a soda and yogurt drink. The food came out pippin hot and tasted great. A small container of raita (yogurt dressing) for the biryani was also provided. Chicken Karahi, although tasted great,but was cooked a bit differently than the usual Pakistani style and looked similar to a chicken curry. It would have been nice if they would accompany that with some fresh salad. But for the price ($54) I ended up paying, the value of the food was great. I will definitely return to this place when I'm LA.

I crave rice. Like really, really crave rice. Biriyani Kabob House hit the spot. I got the chicken biryani and it was a home run. The chicken was fall off the bone tender and the rice was aromatic and flavorful. Potatoes were also hidden in the rice and a nice bonus. The interior was plain and the place lacked AC, but your not spotting here for a 5 star dinning experience, you're here for some really good food.

Delicious food! Be sure to start your meal with one of their chicken rolls and a vegi Samosa, so tasty. In their self serve fridge you can help yourself to their sauces too. I ordered their Lamb Biriyani and it was packed with flavor and enough left overs for a 2nd meal too. Just be prepared when trying to find a parking spot, that was the tricky part.

Lamb Shank Biriyani - wow wow wow. Gotta be one of the best dishes in LA. Meat falling off the bone, layers of spice in the rice, cooling mint raitha on the side. Can't wait to eat the leftovers. Can't wait to return.

Whenever I'm craving samosas, my go-to spot is Biriyani Kabob House in Los Angeles! The food is always delicious, and the samosas never disappoint. On top of that, the staff is super friendly and welcoming, making every visit a great experience. Highly recommend!

Don't know what's going on here, but things have changed... Our family has been supporting this place since they opened as they are literally right down the block. I taught my mother how to eat Indian food properly here... the food was so delicious, and the Chef/Owner would always recommend different dishes and give condiments to try out that really made the food stand out. He's never around these days. And the lady at the register has such a standoff-ish personality that it's almost painful to order without knowing exactly what the names are (and awkwardly have to wait for the menu screens to get to the right photo)... we even asked if there was a change in ownership and she responded with some attitude that it's been the same Owner for 6 years and same cooks since then... and Mum asks where the main cook was, which she responded he was on break, and that the guy working was new... man... hospitality?We ordered our usual (eventually) which was Nalini Nihari (slow braised beef) with lamb biriyani and extra Nan. Also asked for some extra cucumber yogurt sauce that the original owner got us hooked on. Took it home and opened our bag, only to find everything was covered in oil from the Nalini Nihari. It was wrapped in plastic wrap, but not entirely around the bottom (conserving?) so it leaked and covered everything else. 1 of the 3 Nan is burnt.I am so irritated that I don't even want to eat. Please be better. You guys were legends before.

I revisited this place with a last friend, and we got the lamb shank Biryani. When I tell you fall off the bone meat, the meat was falling off the bone, so perfectly tender. The first time I ate here I think I ate alone which is a blessing and a curse. Sharing this plate with a friend was more appropriate and we got to really enjoy the experience more. The service is good, very friendly people. The vibes are chill. A really good food place in Los Angeles, surprise-surprise.

Definitely a new experience with the classic chicken tikka masala and my first time trying the chicken karahi at BKH! The karahi was rich with lots of flavors and herbs, especially with the spices cause it really packs a punch (my spice tolerance was not ready for that ) but nonetheless very good with a nice warm piece of garlic naan. The chicken tikka masala was surprisingly very sweet, it kind of had a prominent honey flavor/syrupy-ness to it (maybe the karahi had numbed my taste buds). Personally a little too sweet for me but still rich and creamy, and having those two dishes together was a good balance. Service is also very kind and offered some recommendations since I'm not too familiar with Indian/Pakistani cuisine.

I'm Bengali and the lamb biriyani is the closest you can get to homemade. The flavor of the meat and the spices in the rice are spot on. There were whole pieces of star anise cardamon,cinnamon, and bay leaf in the rice. Addition of whole green chillies and prunes made this very authentic.Great job guys!
