Pista House Milpitas

Nice checks the boxes for Indian food. Chicken Tikka Misala was good but lacked in some of the subtle flavors I'd expect, rice was OK, some of it was hardened and clumped together, Naan left a lot to be desired, it wasn't fully cooked and the flavor wasn't there. We arrived on a Tuesday around 11:45am and had the entire place to ourselves. Would I go again got a Indian fix? Maybe, most likely I would try another restaurant first.

I didn’t like their biryani at all!!! I ordered one boneless chicken biryani and veg dum biryani. Chicken biryani- it was very dry and overly spicy. Veg biryani- I don’t know what masala they made, but it didn’t taste good and it overly spicy as well. But the quantity of food is pretty huge. I think 3 people can eat in one plate!

One of the best Haleem I ever had !! Accompanied with fried onions lemon! Loved Gongura chicken biryani as well ! It’s delicious and the chicken pieces are very well cooked and they are extremely soft ! Quantity of the biryani can easily serve 2 people. Biryani is 5 times the quantity in the picture.

Went to pista house recently, we ordered a biryani and veg meal. Loved veg meal was wholesome, delicious and homely. Biryani no doubt was very good as this place is famous for it. Chef and staff were friendly, came over to ask if we were comfortable and food was good. There were only 4-5 people for dine in the time we went, lot of pickup orders. Would definitely visit again to try out new dishes.

Best place in Bay Area for Haleem. Specialty is this is the only place where Haleem is available all year long. But we have liked it the last time more than this time. We ordered it to-go last time, quantity was more and tastier. This time dine-in, it wasn't that tastier on comparison. Still it's the best of the lot. Cost of Haleem is also increased now, it was around $12 last time and now $14. Authentic biryanis are also available which are must try.
