" Wow! I was blown away by the incredible flavors at Pista House! The Chicken Tikka and the Egg Dum Biryani were both magnificent. The level of spice was just right for my palate, not too overwhelming but enough to awaken the taste buds. The place itself is well-kept and has a warm decor that made the dining experience pleasant. The service was attentive, and I appreciated that our server took the time to explain the menu. If you're a fan of biryani, you must make a stop here! It felt so authentic, I felt like I was dining in India. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful experience at Pista House! Being an avid biryani lover, I was excited to try their offerings, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. The Amaravathi Chicken Biryani was a standout dish—rich in flavor and spice, cooked to perfection, the chicken was tender and juicy. The only downside was the wait time as the restaurant was busy on that Saturday evening, but it was well worth it. Overall, the staff was courteous, and I found the restaurant clean and inviting. I would definitely return to explore more dishes on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Pista House with high expectations after hearing so much about their biryani, and they did not disappoint! The Mutton Biryani was so flavorful and the meat was cooked just right. I also had the Chicken Pakoda, which was crispy and not greasy at all. The only complaint would be the wait time, as we did have to sit for a bit before our food arrived. Overall, the experience was worth the wait, and I can't wait to bring my friends here next time for a casual Thursday dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Pista House has quickly become my favorite Indian restaurant in San Diego! The authenticity of the flavors is incredible. I have tried several items including the Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Biryani, and each dish was served hot and fresh. What I love most is the attention to detail. The garlic naan is fluffy and just the right amount of char, and the portions are substantial. My only nitpick would be that on one occasion, the service felt a bit rushed, but they generally provide great service. Definitely a place worth returning to indulge in more delights. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic dinner at Pista House! The atmosphere is cozy, and the food is authentic with generous portion sizes. I had the Ambur Dum Biryani and it brought back memories of home in Tamil Nadu. It was piping hot and had right amount of spices to suit my taste. The staff were accommodating and ensured that everything was up to standard. I highly recommend coming here if you are looking for flavorful Indian cuisine. A wonderful experience overall and will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)
