" I love this restaurant! The ambiance might not be fancy, but the food is what truly matters. I treated myself to their special haleem and it was the best I’ve had outside of Hyderabad. Rich and flavorful, I couldn't get enough. Additionally, the chicken biryani was equally impressive. I will keep coming back and bringing friends to share the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoy the street ambiance that Pista House provides. It feels vibrant and casual! The goat dum biryani was absolutely delicious, perfectly marinated and flavorful. The chicken lollipops were a fun appetizer too. Great service throughout. I would highly recommend it to others—don’t miss out on this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience could have been better. I’m a huge fan of Hyderabadi food, but this place didn’t quite meet my expectations. The biryani was missing depth in flavor, and the service was lacking on a busy night. However, there were some bright spots, like the friendly staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! If you’re in Artesia, try the Hyderabadi biryani; it’s a game-changer! The blend of spices and the quality of meat used is commendable. My husband loved the goat curry as well. I can’t wait to go back! The only drawback was the wait time, but the flavors make it worthwhile. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great find for Indian food lovers! The biryani is exquisite, although their appetizers could use some improvement. The restaurant vibe felt warm and welcoming. My order was handled swiftly despite the crowd, so props to the staff for managing well. Would recommend to anyone near Artesia! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Pista House again for the umpteenth time! Their goat biryani continues to impress! Rich flavors and the spiciness is perfect. The staff seems to be friendly but a bit overwhelmed at times with the crowd. The cleanliness could use some work, especially the restroom, which was below expectations. That said, I keep coming back for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went for a takeout order and was so pleased with the authenticity of the Haleem! It brought me back to my time in Hyderabad. The service was polite and quick too. If they continue to maintain these standards, I see a long-term future for them. The only recommendation I have is they need to provide more options for vegetarians. " (*Curated Review*)
