Keep the Flavor.
Third-party apps inflate menu prices and take a cut of every order. Ordering straight from our kitchen means fairer prices for you, and more of every dollar reaches the people who actually cooked your food.
Three Steps to
Hot Biryani
Pick Your Dishes
Add what you want to the cart, then choose Pickup or Delivery at checkout. Tell us anything special in the instructions box — milder, extra raita, no onions.
Cooked With Care
Every dish is crafted using authentic recipes, quality ingredients, and aromatic spices to deliver rich, consistent flavor in every bite.
Pickup Today, Delivery Soon
Collect it hot from our Sunnyvale kitchen — we'll email you the moment the kitchen accepts your order. Delivery is on the way; we'll announce it here.
The Spice Guide
Every dish on our menu carries a flame rating, so there are no surprises at the table.
One Flame — Mild
Aromatic and gentle. Safe for kids and anyone who wants flavor without the burn.
Two Flames — Medium
A proper Indian kick that builds slowly. Most of our biryanis live here.
Three Flames — Hot
Andhra Fire: Vijayawada-style heat, made the way Andhra actually makes it. Keep water close.
Perfect For
Family Dinner
Order a couple of biryanis with starters and parottas — enough to cover everyone at the table.
Office Lunch
Schedule a pickup on your way in. Dosa and kothu parotta travel well and reheat better than most.
Parties & Catering
Planning something bigger? Give us a call and we'll sort out quantities and timing with you.
Food Allergen Information
At The Biryani Street, we take food allergies and dietary concerns seriously.
Our menu includes ingredients that may contain or come into contact with major food allergens, including milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame.
Because our food is prepared in a kitchen where multiple ingredients and allergens are handled, we cannot guarantee that any item is completely free from allergens or that cross-contact will not occur.
If you have a food allergy, please review the ingredients carefully and contact us before placing your order so we can provide the most accurate allergen information available for the item you are considering.
Please do not assume that an item is allergen-free simply because an allergen is not listed in its description. Ingredients and preparation methods may change, so please contact us with any allergy-related questions before ordering.
Customers with severe food allergies should use their own judgment when deciding whether to consume food prepared in our kitchen.

Frequently Asked
Every dish is prepared with care using authentic recipes, premium ingredients, and bold Indian spices. We confirm your order and give you a pickup time, so it's ready when you arrive.
Not through the website yet — orders placed here go straight into the kitchen. If you need food ready for a set time, call us and we'll schedule it for you.
Short version: Vijayawada is the fiery one, Donne is the fragrant one. If you want heat, order Vijayawada. If you want aroma without the burn, order Donne. The full story behind both is on our Our Story page.
Yes — there's a Special Instructions box at checkout. Write what you need there and the kitchen sees it on your ticket. Some dishes carry their heat in the base masala, so we can't always take it all the way down.
No — we're a cloud kitchen, which means we cook for pickup and delivery only. There's no dining room or waiting area, so please come at the time we confirm rather than before.
Whatever applies is shown on the checkout screen before you pay — delivery fee, any minimum, and tax are all listed separately, so the total you see is the total you pay. Pickup has no fee.
Call us straight away on 669-265-9500. If your order hasn't been packed yet we can change or cancel it. Once it's packed and waiting for you we can't undo it.
Yes. For parties, office lunches or events, call us at least a day ahead so we can plan quantities and timing properly. Large orders placed through the website without notice may take longer than usual.
Our kitchen handles dairy, nuts, wheat and eggs, and dishes are prepared in shared cookware — so we can't guarantee any dish is free of traces. If you have an allergy or a dietary requirement, please call us before ordering and we'll tell you exactly what's in the dish.
How We Got Here
The Idea
Too many South Indian menus in the Bay Area flatten everything into one generic "biryani". We wanted to cook the regional versions properly — the way each place actually makes them.
The Recipes
Vijayawada, Donne, Chennai kothu, tiffin-counter dosas. Four traditions, each with its own masala and method, tested until they tasted like home rather than a compromise.
The Kitchen
A cloud kitchen in Sunnyvale — no dining room, no overheads passed on to you. Everything goes into the food and getting it to you hot.
Ordering Direct
We built this site so you can order straight from us instead of through an app that takes a cut and marks up the menu.
Non-Negotiables
Aged Basmati
Long-grain, aged rice that stays separate and holds its shape through layering.
Ground In-House
Whole spices toasted and ground in small batches, never pre-mixed pastes from a jar.
Real Ghee
Used where the recipe calls for it — ghee roast tastes like ghee roast for a reason.
Every Region Has a Street.
This Is Ours.
From Vijayawada's fiery biryani houses to Chennai's late-night kothu parotta stalls.
India's food is bigger than any single region. We started with the biryanis and street foods we love most, then built a menu around bold regional recipes, familiar favorites, and dishes inspired by India's incredible culinary diversity.
Everything we serve is made in our own kitchen — nothing is bought in. Slow-caramelized onions, our own masala blends, and basmati layered the traditional way. We prepare through the day so your order is ready when you are.

Where Each Dish
Comes From
Vijayawada Biryani
The fiery one. Andhra's biryani leans hard into red chili and a sharp, layered masala — cooked with the rice rather than poured over it, so the heat runs right through every grain.
Donne Biryani
Bengaluru's street classic, built on a green masala of coriander, mint and green chili. Softer, more fragrant, traditionally served in a donne — a bowl folded from dried palm leaf.
Dosa
Rice and lentil batter, fermented overnight, spread thin on a hot tawa until the edges lift. From plain and butter to ghee roast and stuffed — the everyday food of South India.
Kothu Parotta
Late-night food at its best. Flaky parotta is chopped on the griddle with egg, meat and masala using two blades — the clatter of it is half the reason people gather around the stall.
How We Cook
Masala First
Every recipe starts with its own blend — Andhra heat, Karnataka's earthiness, Chennai's tang. The masala is built for that one dish, never borrowed from another.
Slow-Cooked Meat
Chicken and mutton go in whole-cut and cook down slowly until they give way. That's time you can taste, and it's the part we refuse to rush.
Layered, Then Sealed
Rice and masala go in layer by layer with fried onions, herbs and ghee, then the pot is sealed so the steam does the last bit of work.
