Al-medinah - Short Pump

Bad experience, my first experience there I ordered goat biryani and got a large plate of rice and a piece of bone. Never again.

Great chicken Biryani. Family back was generous in size, tasty , and contained a ton of chicken (bone in).

Ordered vegetable biryani and received this unflavored turmeric and oils rice. It is very impressive how they managed to make this rice so flavorless!! All this has was overcooked rice, turmeric, oil and some vegetables scraps (not even enough salt)! If I could give 0 starts I would. Normal rice in other restaurants is more flavorful than this so called “vegetable biryani”

Everything here is halal and absolutely delicious! If you speak Bangla or Urdu, I highly recommend chatting with the staff; I've had some of the best conversations with them. They are incredibly friendly and always offer me more food and drinks than what I paid for, even when I try to decline. If you’re of South Asian descent and longing for the flavors of home and the warmth of your culture, this place is a must-visit. It feels just like being at my uncle and aunt's house in Bangladesh, enjoying a comforting home-cooked meal.

I tried the Chicken Pastry Puff, Vegetable Samosa, Chicken Samosa, Butter Chicken, and Goat Biryani. Everything was delicious and expertly prepared. However, the portion of Butter Chicken was smaller than I anticipated. They also own the market next door, where you can pick up fresh vegetables, dairy products, frozen goods, meats, and freshly made Chicken Pastry Puffs and Veggie Samosas at the checkout. I will definitely return to sample more items from their menu.
