Most Indian restaurant were shut on Diwali, Biryani Hut was one of the few that was open and that’s why we ended up eating there for the first time.

The food had some hits and misses, but service was extremely slow. I suspect it was because of a rush of Diwali orders, but I will have to visit again to be sure.
