A Taste of South India,
Right in Sunnyvale
Regional recipes from Vijayawada, Bengaluru, and Chennai — cooked fresh for pickup or delivery.
The Full Menu
Skip the Apps.
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.
We Cook It Fresh
Your order lands straight in our kitchen. Nothing is pre-made — the masala goes in the pan once you've ordered, which is exactly why it tastes the way it does.
Pickup or Delivery
Collect it hot from our Sunnyvale kitchen, or have it delivered to your door. We'll call you to confirm the moment your order comes through.
The Spice Guide
Every dish on our menu carries a flame rating, so there are no surprises at the table.
One Flame — Gentle
Aromatic and mild. Safe for kids and anyone who wants flavor without the burn.
Two Flames — Balanced
A proper South Indian kick that builds slowly. Most of our biryanis live here.
Three Flames — 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. Dosas 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.
South Indian Soul,
Sunnyvale Address.
A small kitchen with big flavors — biryanis, dosas, and street classics made the traditional way.
A Kitchen, Not
a Restaurant.
We run a cloud kitchen on W Evelyn Ave — a working kitchen with no dining room and no waiting area. Everything we make goes out for pickup or delivery, which keeps our costs down and lets us put the money into the food instead of the furniture. You order from us directly on this site, and the order lands straight on the kitchen screen.
Authentic Recipes
True regional masalas, methods, and flavors.
Cooked Fresh
Made only after you order — never before.
Right Here in Sunnyvale
Cooked and packed at 1026 W Evelyn Ave.
You Order, We Cook
Straight from our screen to the pan.
Frequently Asked
Nothing is pre-cooked, so the pan only goes on once your order reaches the kitchen. We call you to confirm as soon as it comes through and give you a realistic time then — and we call again when it's boxed and ready.
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'll call you if we can't 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 +1 408-655-8826. If the dish hasn't gone on the pan yet we can change or cancel it. Once cooking has started we can't undo it, since everything is made fresh for your order alone.
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 Fresh
Whole spices toasted and ground in small batches instead of pre-mixed pastes.
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.
The Biryani Street started with a simple idea: bring the real, regional flavors of South India — not a watered-down version of them — to Sunnyvale. Every recipe on our menu is tied to a specific place and tradition: Andhra-style Vijayawada biryani, Karnataka's donne biryani, Chennai-style kothu parotta, and the tiffin-counter dosas found across South Indian cities.
We cook everything to order out of our own kitchen. That means your food takes a little more care — and tastes like it. Slow-caramelized onions, fresh-ground masalas, and basmati layered the traditional way, every single time.

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.
Dosas
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
Whole spices are toasted and ground in small batches. No shortcut pastes — the base of every dish is built the same morning it's served.
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.
Privacy & Terms
Short version: we only collect what we need to cook and deliver your order, and we don't sell it to anyone.
What we collect
Your name, phone number, delivery address if you choose delivery, an email address if you give us one, and the details of your order. That's it — we don't ask for anything we don't need to get food to you.
How we use it
To cook and deliver your order, to call you if something needs confirming, and to keep our own sales records. We don't sell your details or pass them to anyone except a delivery partner when your order needs delivering.
Payments
When online card payment is switched on, card details are handled entirely by our payment provider. We never see or store your full card number.
Cookies & measurement
This site keeps your cart in your browser so it survives a refresh. If our advertising pixel is switched on, it helps us see which ads bring orders. You can block these in your browser settings without affecting ordering.
Your choices
Want your details removed from our records? Call us on +1 408-655-8826 or email us and we'll take care of it.
Ordering terms
Prices and availability can change. We cook only after your order comes through, so once cooking starts an order can't be cancelled — call us straight away if something's wrong and we'll do what we can.
