Bawarchi Biryani's

I NEVER thought my partner would ever eat Indian food again. To him, it's okay, and I love it. He was in the plaza earlier in the day and noticed the restaurant. I have wanted to go there for the last year.After an afternoon of shopping in the area, he mentioned he would like to try Indian food again. I was more than good with it. We pulled into the shopping plaza to an unassuming restaurant. The plaza has an Outback and Love's Coffee. Love's is execptional in coffee and tasty foods; Outback is a typical chain. This one is better than most.We arrived after shopping and walked into a restaurant with only one table seated. I must say it was Jan 2. Note: upon leaving, Outback wasn't packed based on the parking lot as we left, and this Outback is always packed.We enter the restaurant with a strong aroma of Indian spices. I did notice a sign by the door to franchise. I'm NOT into reviewing franchised restaurants, but I would bite my tongue and review. We were seated immediately and offered drinks. We both ordered water and I made my way to the bathroom to wash my hands. I returned to see 2 bottled waters from Sam's Club. Indian food has a bite and I knew I would need more than a bottle of water.Our order was taken, Fish 65, Lamb Vindaloo, Lentil Soup and Garlic Naan. I saw an episode of triple D where Lamb Vindaloo was made and I had to try it. The Lentil Soup came out for us to share. He didn't like it at first as he is use to Greek Lentil Soup and not the spice it had. I loved it!! As we slurped it, he grew to love it. The meal then came out, he ordered the Fish 65 and I ordered the Lamb and Naan. Both meals were amazing. The lamb, so soft you could cut with a fork, the sauce had a perfect spice. I ordered medium. The rice was perfectly cooked. My partner loved his fish, so much that he said he would come back, and he is the pickiest of eaters. I tried his entree and the sauce was amazing, I thought it was better than the Lamb Vindaloo sauce.I had two downfalls. Bottled water! When eating anywhere in the US, I like a glass that is filled that I shouldn't have to pay for! . But more importantly, I disliked the guy behind me, who I am guessing works there, on his phone, on speaker, carrying on with multiple conversations. I don't need to hear about your bidness. Tacky at best!

Came here for a late dinner. Got the gobi Manchurian and biriyani. The Manchurian was amazing, perfect spice level and it was so crispy. The biriyani was a good spice level too. The service was great and everyone was so nice. Came out to about 25-30 bucks a person.

Will order from them again. Delivery: pretty good and fresh. The naan bread is yummy as is spicy Hyderabadi goat: the rice is very fragrant. The butter chicken is bit sweet. We don't have to use the sauce that came with the food.... after posting, did I realize that I ordered from them last year for the identical items oh well, my senior moment.

I have been here twice. The first time I dined in and the second time I took the food out. I don't think this place knows how to be a restaurant. There was a language barrier but there was also an apparent comfort barrier. It was very difficult for me to explain I wanted to see a menu to order food. It was most difficult the second time around when I wanted takeout. I noticed a large Indian clientele which made me wonder if I possibly didn't belong there. Their food was as good as any other Indian cuisine I've had. If you are looking for a cocktail, they only serve a limited selection of beer and wine.

Our experience at Bawarchi was delightful!We had a party of 11, including three kids. We called in while on our way to see if they could accommodate our group without problem and the gentleman on the phone reassured us that there'd be no problem: "come on over!"They setup tables together for our group, Joseph took care of us for the entire meal, with other staff assisting. The place had a nice vibe to it, everyone very friendly.The food... wow. My fiancée and I have eaten at several Indian restaurants because we love the cuisine. This is competing so far for the #1 spot. In Tampa Bay, the best one so far.We ordered all kinds of dishes, from Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Masala, and some delicious spicy shrimp, to tandoori mixed grill which brings an assortment of some of the most delicious meats I've tasted in Indian cuisine. The chicken noodles were absolutely delicious. The season rice that accompanied several dishes was so good! And the naan bread is always a hit! Also would like to mention what is perhaps my favorite appetizer of any cuisine... the vegetable samosas. These have to be the best I've tasted so far .All of the food was brought out surprisingly fast, tasted fresh, and was presented beautifully when served.Our experience here was wonderful. Thank you to Joseph and their team for accommodating our group. And thank you for an absolutely delicious feast!

I very much enjoyed my dinner from Bawarchi Biryani's!Today was a long day so it turned out to be an Uber Eats kind of night for us. Luckily, I stumbled across this gem of a restaurant who was offering BOGO entrees and BOGO Naan! Even with the added charges from Uber, I could not resist such a deal!I placed an order for two Butter Chicken entrees ($19.99) and two Garlic Naan ($4.55) as well a side of Raita ($1.75) and eagerly waited for my driver to deliver the Indian delights. An hour later, I had my food, still piping hot, and began to assemble a plate to share with my fellow Yelpers! The smell of the food alone made me cave while serving so of course I had a few bites and licks in between serving my kids. Once it was my turn to fully indulge, my expectations were more than exceeded, especially at the price I paid! The naan had plenty of garlic, was a large serving size and had a slight crunch while being oh so very soft. The Butter Chicken packed a punch of flavor, the chicken was extremely tender and while I prefer to choose my spice level, the one and only option they had a strong enough bite, even though mild, to satisfy my cravings. The rice was rice, can't really go wrong with it when smothered with curry although never say never. This was my first time having Raita sauce so I cannot compare it to other places but I do know, I will order this sauce at every single Indian restaurant I go to from now on! The sauce itself was pretty soupy but nonetheless delicious and offered a refreshing cooldown to combat the spice of the curry.Overall, this place offers delicious, affordable Indian food which is hard to find if you're on a budget. It will definitely be on my Uber Eats rotation and I am looking forward to checking out the physical location for their buffet. Give them a shot!

I ordered Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani with Chili Garlic Naan for take out. It was really good! Very flavorful and has the right amount of spice. I'm not sure where the spice came from. I used both sauces that it came with and ate it with the naan. I will definitely be back here. One of the best takeout meals I've had in a while.

Unfortunately the lunch buffet has been eliminated. Good food otherwise but would frequent this spot for the lunch buffet during work.

Very dark and small buffet. On a busy mid day only one table being used. Should have said leave but it smelt good. The buffet was not worth the money. Ordering from menu better but not the best. Tandoori chicken was dry and obviously been there awhile. Nothing seemed very fresh. To many other places!

Great lunch buffet.. surprisingly included is beer/wine/bottled water!Good service- nice casual place for lunch.Daal Kachodi was great/ lamb biryani was definitely the highlight just like the name of the restaurant.Would recommend them to put a salad in the buffet and the green chutney needs to be thicker consistency. But that's just a constructive suggestion- not a complaint at all.Will be back next time I visit Tampa
