Charminar Indian Catering - San Diego

The food is absolutely delicious! They don’t play around with the spice levels. While they are famous for their biryani, I personally enjoy their curries more because they offer more flavor and meat. The portion sizes for the biryani are generous, but there’s a lot of rice. The same goes for the lunch special—plenty of rice, but not enough meat. However, the mango lassi and samosas are a great deal!

I had a wonderful experience at Charminar. The ambiance is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the staff is courteous and attentive. Everything we tried was fantastic, but if you're a vegetarian, you absolutely must try the Paneer Chilli and Paneer Biryani. For dessert, don't miss the Shahi Tukda – it's a must! I highly recommend this restaurant to all Indian food enthusiasts. The service was exceptional; they took care of every detail during our meal and were very responsive in serving us. This place is definitely a must-visit!

I placed a to-go order from this restaurant and got a family pack of Bezawada biryani along with chicken 65 biryani. Both were delicious, packed with flavor, and tasted fantastic. The portion sizes were quite generous as well. I also tried the Apollo fish and Majestic chicken; while the fish was tasty, I found the Majestic chicken a bit too chewy for my liking. Overall, the food from this restaurant was of excellent quality and quantity. There's ample parking available outside, and they also have a nice area for outdoor seating. I would definitely return to this place!

Amazing Biriyani?s. We were a group of 7, visited this place on a weekend after there grand opening (after remodeling), they did an exceptional work with the interiors, and had a kind of Hyderabadi vibe to it. When it comes to food, we mostly had Biriyanis, we ordered a family feast with Goat, and chicken biriyani, and both of it is top notch authentic, we loved it. We also ordered Naan, chicken tikka masala, chicken and baby corn 65(few of it came with family feast),and we loved everything. Service was good too. Also, owners dropped by to greet us, and to check how the restaurant and food was. Which is always a good sign that they are pushing to keep up the standards. Writing my review after fewvisits to this place, and never had any negative experience, so 5 star from me.

The selection of dishes was quite flavorful, albeit on the smaller side in terms of portion sizes. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was commendable. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant.
