" I traveled a long way to visit Pista House based on a friend's recommendation, and it truly lived up to the hype! The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for family dinners. We ordered the special Chicken Dum Biryani and it was heavenly. The spices were just right, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to accommodate our dietary restrictions. We also tried their mango lassi; I must say it was the best I have ever had. Can't wait to return to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Pista House was a bit of a mixed bag for us. We were highly recommended to try the place and while we definitely enjoyed some of our dishes, like the Haleem that was positively outstanding, the Chicken Lollipop we ordered left much room for improvement. The chicken was underwhelming and seemed a tad overcooked. The staff was friendly, but the attention to the details could have been better as we had to ask multiple times for our drink refills. Overall, I feel there's potential, but they need to focus on consistency across all dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pista House is a delightful find! The first time I walked into the restaurant, I was captivated by the aromas wafting through the air. The menu is extensive, focusing heavily on biryani, which is precisely what I was looking for. I opted for the Goat Biryani and it was simply divine! The goat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the blend of spices was spot on. The only downside I would mention is that the place can get a bit crowded during peak hours, leading to a longer wait time for the food. However, it's worth the wait for authentic Indian food. I will certainly be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a lover of Indian food, I can't recommend Pista House highly enough! The biryani is to die for—each bite was flavorful with perfectly balanced spices. I loved the crispy, flavorful Chicken 65 as an appetizer. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual yet pleasantly decorated, making it a nice spot for both casual dining and celebrations. I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff who helped us through the menu. If you're ever in San Diego, Pista House is a must-visit for authentic Indian cuisine. I'm looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Pista House was an incredible experience! From the minute we walked in, the ambiance made us feel right at home. We opted for the Mutton Biryani and a side of garlic naan, and both dishes exceeded our expectations. The biryani was incredibly flavorful, perfectly spiced, and the portion size was generous enough to ensure leftovers for lunch the next day. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive, making the experience feel personal. I can't wait to come back and try their Haleem next time! Highly recommended for those looking for authentic Indian fare. " (*Curated Review*)
