" If you want something that reminds you of back home, Rizwan Biryani is the place to go. I took my parents there who had recently moved to the U.S., and they exclaimed that it reminded them of Karachi! Every dish we tried was exceptional. There could be a little more attention to the dining space but the food makes you forget about that. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let's just say, Rizwan Biryani is a hidden gem! The chicken biryani was rich in flavor yet balanced. A must-visit for anyone craving authentic Pakistani food, but be prepared for simple dining arrangements. I loved everything from their appetizers to the chai, which is a delightful end to the meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Rizwan Biryani has become my go-to spot for authentic South Asian flavors. The spice levels are customizable which I truly appreciate. The biryani was as good as homemade and the meat was succulent. However, it's important to call ahead as they sometimes run out of popular dishes. The seating does lack comfort, but the food makes it worthwhile every time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply the best! I had the chicken biryani and was blown away by how fulfilling and tasty it was. This place is hands-down my favorite for authentic desi food in Houston. I can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Rizwan Biryani and wow! The biryani was off the charts. Authentic taste like nothing I've tasted in the U.S. before! The lamb was tender, and the rice was seasoned beautifully. The owner is incredibly passionate about his work, and it shows. One thing to note is that it is located inside a supermarket, so don't expect a fine dining atmosphere. Definitely will come back! " (*Curated Review*)
