The best Paneer biryani for me across the US. The flavor, the textures, the masala gravy, everything leaves you craving for more.

It took me 30 minutes to select a biryani because this place had so many options to choose from. It was so hard to make a choice. Ultimately, I chose the Paneer Biryani and Egg Biryani, and both of them did not disappoint at all. They were so yummy.

General Indian Food

Apart from biryani, Indian food has so many other varieties. Being an avid food lover, I have tried many other dishes, and here are some of my top recommendations.

Country Oven features in this list too because they have the most amazing Mysore Bonda I have come across in the US. The chutney was so good, I had to get 2 refills to finish my plate of bonda.

If you live in LA and you miss Soya Chaap, you have to go try out the Afgani Malai Chaap! So creamy, so flavorful, worth the drive to Artesia!
