Reviews for Pista House in Hicksville, NY

Visited for the first time and we really enjoyed the food. The ambience is 3 out of 5 but the food is 5/5. The haleem, bijli... chicken and goat dum biryani were delicious and fresh. I loved bijli chicken. The sweet paan wasn?t that great either butoverall very satisfied. Check out their prices as I felt it was little pricier but I guess that?s how it is everywhere due toinflation. Read more

Food was delicious. We tried the goat soup, two different types and both were good. Had ckn 65 for appetizer, small quantity but... it tastes good. Overall good experience. Only 4 stars, because the plates could be bit more more cleaner ( plastic plates). Read more

Had an amazing time talking to the owner and his wife who were very welcoming and focused on every detail of my food order. The... food here is authentic and the goat haleem is to die for. I?ve been around NY and NJ plenty of times for biryani and I can saynothing beats these guys. They have an amazing selection of dishes and the ambiance is very nice to have a family dinner. Iwill definitely be driving back again to have that delicious biryani and fried fish :) Read more

The food I have ordered was completely worthless.. utter waste of $100? food was salty and no taste at all.. biriyani was too... bad? the quality has gone down very bad? management should not compromise on quality and taste when you have brand name of?pista house?? you should match the quality of food with your price Read more

Finally, found a place for real or authentic ?DUM BIRYANI? in New York. We tried chicken and goat dum Biryani, will try other... items soonest. Read more

Haleem is what Pista House is famous for, but this Pista House is ruining that fame! Not only it has loads and loads of ghee (I... am talking about an extreme amount here), it also always seems to be old (not fresh at all). Let me tell you that the taste isgood, which makes you feel like eating it, but your stomach can tell its unhealthy right after. They must improve its quality,they make it very tasty, just make it fresh and with less ghee, please! Read more

Hi Foodies! Firstly sorry this would be a bit long review but it's worth reading. "Briefly- Please I don't suggest anyone going... to this restaurant" Also just don't see name and go it's not the same taste as pistahouse everywhere. We went to thisrestaurant on Friday all the way from Boston. We called the restaurant before we reach the place whether everything is availableand is it OK if we order over the phone. They said us to order over the phone. Our order was 4 haleem, 2 Mutton biryani , 1chicken biryani, panner tikka and couple of Non- veg appetizers. Coming to the service, A lady was serving our table she gotthe appetizer, haleem and the biryani. Then we recognized the quantity of biryani was way too less. As the bowl was shallow. Asseen in the pictures. We asked the lady the biryani quantity is too less her response with rude behavior was " we served youmore quantity then what we generally get" we were like Ok thought not to argue with her. Coming to taste, The haleem istasteless generally we see haleem with ghee but here they have water in it you can see that in the pictures. Coming to pannerTikka there is spices nor salt just the food color. Then we called them and asked what is this they accept that panner wasmarinated 1 hour back so it was there mistake and said will remove from the bill. Haleem they said they would replace it. Theyreplaced the haleem and got the same haleem which is of water instead of ghee. Coming to biryani, mutton biryani was too saltywe can't even eat. Chicken biryani they are out that I guess. We got mutton meat in it and that was also salty as it was thesame rice just added the chicken meat to it. Coming to billing, Initially over bill was around 284 something after taking outthe above said items. It came down to 160. Thanks for reading. I hope this would be helpful. Read more

This place is mind blowing! Great service and amazing food. We had ordered seekh kebabs as appetizers which were served with a... mint chutney and a mayo dip. They were absolutely delicious! For the main course we had chicken zalzala with rice and chickendum biryani. Both the dishes were fantastic. Chicken zalzala had a very rich and creamy flavor and I savored every bite of it.Biryani was served in a clay pot with a large portion size. We finished with Malai and falooda mulgi sticks. Must visit ify'all want good Indian food. This place won't disappoint you. Read more
