Jenni G.
It was my first time in. The people were so patient with me. I called in my order, but when I got there everything on the wall looked good, so I had questions. I ended up sticking with only the noodles with veggies that I ordered.
Let me tell you. I was looking sideways at first because they were dry and I was expecting a sauce of some sort, but HUNNNNY, I took a bite and couldn't get out of the car. It was so flavorful that I just couldn't stop. I managed to save my mom a few fork-fulls, and she loved it just as much as me.
I will definitely be back to try more items as I was highly impressed. Not just with the food, but the cleanliness of the restaurant in the eating area and behind the counter.
Happy eating everyone!

Great Experience!!
My husband surprised me with my birthday cake. It was really a great experience. Thanks to everyone for making it very special for me. And the cake tasted amazing. Whoever we shared the cake with loved the taste. I strongly recommend this place. Thanks to Prasad and Team :)

1st visit. Clean, menu not complicated, staff was polite and patient in answering my questions, my order was cooked when placed and ready in timely manner, the veggie samosa is crispy flaky & packed with flavor & just a slight amount of heat, I also ordered a noodle dish with veggies and chicken absolutely packed with right amount of spices and full of flavor generous portions and enough for two days 😋

Currently our favorite Indian restaurant in Tampa. Amazing food. Good quantity. Biryani, chili gobi, samosa chaat, puff are some of the items we tried so far and they were pretty good.
They have disposable spoons, plates, glasses and to-go boxes kept at one corner and it’s self service. Food is also served in disposables.
We like that they don’t have restricted hours and we can grab food any time of the day.
Hope they start making Indo-Chinese soon as they were out every time we have been there even though it’s on their menu.
Update: We visited today and they had Indo Chinese. We ordered Schezwan fried rice and gobi manchurian. Both the dishes were phenomenal. Taste was similar to how we get in India. I definitely recommend trying Indo-Chinese along with other dishes. They also have Groupon deal going on. Do check it out.

Birthday Cake
I ordered customized 1st birthday cake(pineapple flavor) for my son with the jungle theme. It was prepared exactly the same which I ordered and was so delicious and yummy. Everyone liked a lot. I recommend this for sure.
kennyg13
Absolutely wonderful!! It's fast become one of my favourite places, the food is fantastic! My favourite right now is the boneless chicken biryani, the rice is soft fluffy and the aromatic, the sauce is awesome, I have had the tandoori pompano and that was great too, never had a so so meal let alone bad one here, you won't be disappointed. Nice casual dining, love it!!
Michael Encinosa
It was a little bit pricey but the food was great! There's a larger variety of options with a great digital menu where you can see pictures of every item. The restaurant was pretty clean and the dining area was set up very nicely.
Subhadipto Poddar
Almost gave it a 5 star except fpr the curry with the lunch combo. The quantity of oil in it and the pieces of chicken made it really hard to reach 5 star. Apart from that the biriyani, dry chilli chicken, rasmalai, and chana masala really good.
The roti was exceptional as well. I will swing by here in future to try out and see if it reaches the 5 star next time around.
Imran Khan
Convenient location and very quick service. The menu also has a pretty wide variety of options. The place feels a bit cramped and gets loud when it is crowded
Indraja Vaddadi
I have been eating at P&C since about 4 years regularly, and it’s one of the best Indian food restaurants in Tampa.
I love their Kheema biryani, fish biryani and samosa Chaat. The Veg and chicken puff is a MUST try.
Recently heard they started weekend buffet, and it was absolutely a good variety for the price.
Johna
Best roti I've had before, chicken Tika Masala was so flavorful, even the rice was excellent! Might be my favorite new Indian place! Fast & friendly customer service!
Mandakini Sahoo
Amazing food! We have ordered many times from PNC party order and never have been disappointed. Their food quality , taste is always consistent. The staff is very helpful in suggesting large quantities for your guests and the food is the right quantity. We will be a repeat customer for life. Thank you and keep the good food coming.
Jake and Dannie Littlefield
This was the first Indian food we bought since moving to town. It was pretty good. We got take out, and the man behind the counter was very friendly when I went to pick up my order.
We got egg biryani, paneer biryani, samosa chaat, and those puffy things you stuff with potatoes and stuff. It was all good.
Tarun Kodaganti
The Vijayawada Chicken Biryani at this place is my most recommended item on the menu. Other than that, this restaurant is probably one of the only few restaurants in Tampa that has authentic Indian food. Mutton Haleem during Ramzan is a must try.
María Angélica Cornielle Cruz
GREAT PRICE, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE 👍 GOOD FOOD... HAVE FAMILY COMBOS AND PASTRIES TOO
Sachin Raj
Everything i tried here was tasty. Finally good Indian food after a long time. Front desk staff is great, no matter how busy it gets he is patient with customers. I'll keep coming as long as i am here in Tampa FL.🙌 …
Triparna de Vreede
We love this restaurant. It is one of our daughters' favorite restaurants! Their biriyani is just fabulous! They are one of the few restaurants that serve authentic South Indian food. We also cater from them and they are awesome - reasonable and they always give large portions! A must visit if you want to taste how food in Andhra and Telangana tastes like!
Sai Pavan
Ordered Guntur Mutton Biryani & Chilly Chicken, with extra spicy. Mutton could have been more tender but it is too tough to chew, overall the rice has great flavors. Chilly chicken is decently good.
I liked it!!!
MasteRovi
The most Worth It Food I’ve tasted in the US!!!
I am from West Palm and I’m craving “Chicken Fried Rice(High Spice), Tandoori(Med Spice), and Naan:) + that’s green sauce🔥 it’s literally 1:30am!
And I’m at west palm reminiscing about Tampa and your food. Waah! Keep it up guys. I will bring my family there too, hopefully you guys give me a discount;)
Keep it up💯 best Indian restaurant!
Jose
Taste...It's good but generic.
Quantity...It's fair but not quite enough for the price.
Service....The cashier was just like one u find at the Walking Dead.(Useless)
If it wasn't because the owner/manager stepped in then i would have sit there like an idiot waiting for my order.
Anusha Ande
Update - Food tasted even better this time. The food is soo satisfying. It tasted great. We ordered biriyani, tandoori, naans and curry. Everything tasted its best. It’s excellent both in terms of quality as well quantity. The way they treat their customers is also good . Always wearing a warm and welcoming smile. overall experience was great. Must try.
SWATHI EMAYAVARAMBAN
We ordered food for a birthday party .. all the items were tasty and good . Unlike other restaurants who give more oily spicy gravy, PNC’s Hyderabad goat curry was ultimate with perfect textured goat pieces. Our favorite vijayawada Boneless chicken biryani and Pepper chicken also very tasty. Completely satisfied with all the items including veg kurma and paneer biryani😋👌 Thank you so much Prasath Garu 👍
Jamil Nawaz Chowdhury
Taste of food was great. Dahi Fuchka was freshly made…!! People working here are very friendly….!! They recently introduced indo-Chinese food…!! Will come back for sure…!!❤️❤️
Monerah Alfaraj
We had the chicken tikka, goat biryani, cheese naan (special request), daal, and lamb kebabs. Everything was amazing! I’ll definitely always come here for Indian food. Best in town! And the dessert with their chai masala afterwards. Perfect. And the hospitality is super.
Nareshkumar Acharya
Some items are good while others not during our visit couple of years back.
During our recent visit in Sep 2021, we ordered samosa chat n veg biryani, and both tasted good. We were looking for Chinese but was not available during our last 2 visits though advertised.
Esfaque Ahmed
Nice and fun atmosphere to eat in. Only reason I gave four star because they didn’t have goat meat the day I went in and it was one of the reason I went there but I was not disappointed by other food I ordered. Food came pretty soon. Some of the Indian restaurant’s spice level very high even though you order medium or high spicy food but here be careful. Please let the cashier know what level of spice you want in your food. Staff were very nice and try their best to explain the dish. Food was very good. We ordered Apollo fish and chicken biryani. I think two people can easily eat chicken biryani. They have good portion of pastries selection!
Brandon Morton
First I will say that I do not normally write reviews unless the service is really great or really bad as well as food being really great or bad. In this case the food is good but service was not to great. This is my second time coming here and the first time I came I called ahead of time mind you and asked if they have mango lassi since I was craving it and could not find it. They said “yes we have mango lassi” so I drove down here ~ 10 minutes not horrible but get here to order mango lassi and the man behind the counter sates “we do not have mango lassi right now”. I told them how I just called and asked if they have it and they said “yes”. The guy then told me it was “to much work” to make the mango lassi right now. So I left a bit upset. 6 months later I am back and here for their 4 foot dosa they have advertised on their wall that is on a TV repeating 5 or so ads. I asked for the 4 foot dosa with my 2 friends and was laughed at by the lady and she said we can do 2 foot dosa for you… I pointed to the TV and showed her what i wanted and she chuckled and said we have to many orders right now we cannot make that for you. This was really annoying and we ended up getting two 2 foot dosa which somehow made sense? On top of that their price on a few items on their wall are wrong and we were charged 2$ more for certain food (not going to break your wallet but its the moral) and was told their wall was not updated… so we still got our food and ate. Food was good not great not bad. Would not come here again though due to the repeated poor service.
Joe Pezzulich
When you're in the mood for chaat it makes sense to order it from a place with chaat in its name. They have an excellent selection of chaat and other types of snack foods. Also have normal Indian entrees and even Indian pizza. Quick and reliable.
nishant narula
For dinner we decided to try Chicken Dum Biryani and Samosa from Pastries N Chaat. We ordered by calling them and they said that our order will be ready in 15-20 minutes. We got our order in required time. Samosa ordered was good but Chicken Dum biryani of pastries n Chaat is one of the best biryani's. They are amazing and delicious. The chicken was cooked pretty well. Do try their Vijaywada Chicken Biryani.
Reema Gandhi
My family and I dropped by this Restaurant on a fine Saturday evening. Not only the food we ordered was delicious but their service was commendable.
There’s some sort of construction work going on in there, given that their service wasn’t at all affected.
What I like the Most about being here is that all the disposables/To-go carry Bags are kept at our reach which can be accessed easily meaning we don’t have to bug someone to provide us blah blah stuff in blah blah number. Everything is easily accessible and well maintained.
Aashish Rathi
What a find today.
Fast food kinda Indian restaurant. Loved there interior, fast service and ultra tasty food.
We tried Veg Puff. It was served with Fried Indian green Chili. Fresh and hot.
They have small plates. Only 1 option for Veg people. Paneer Tikka Masala. It will come with one Partha, Flavored rice, Raita and onions. Found a tangy, spicy paneer curry after a long time.
Also tried Paneer 65. It was also not regular Chinese chili paneer type. Different red hot Masalas.
Overall real authentic taste. A must visit if you are happen to be around South Florida University, Northern Tampa area.
There ‘Indian hot’ is way hot, so stay on the ‘hot’ level of spice level to be able to finish the food 😃

The food I got was delicious (black forest cake(?), Vegetable puff, and egg puff), but there were only two options of pastries available when I went.
The puffs had a really soft and flaky exterior and flavorful filling, and the cake was moist with the perfect ratio of frosting and cake.
sohil harji
The food was really tasty, gave an Indian feeling in USA but please ask the women with the spectacles on the front desk not to be rude to the customers.
Hafiz Abdul Aziz
Best Pav bhaji I have had outside of India!!! Taste was really authentic.
I have eaten in many Indian restaurants and this is one of the best I have tried. The service was very friendly and efficient, Food arrived piping hot and in good time. The menu contains a good number of house specialties which are a cut above the normal menu offerings. I tried one of these and it was delicious. Also we loved the sweet over there really delicious. Keep your good service all the best.
Justin R
Found them on Groupon and figured I would give them a try. I tried the pepper goat and samosas. I'll definitely be back. This Black Forest cake is delicious, too! They are Google/Apple pay friendly, so check out was also a breeze.

“Pastries N Chaat” had always been our favourite hang out place for delicious chaats and mouth watering pastries. So we decided to celebrate our son’s 1st birthday. And we are happy that we made the best decision to choose them. To start with the cake, we ordered a 2 tier customised cake and we were super happy when the baker had replicated the same with so much craftsmanship and perfection she had baked with love and the cake was a masterpiece. Special kudos to the baker. The cake was so moist, yummy and tempting and everyone enjoyed having each bite of it. Coming to the lunch buffet we had ordered vegetarian dishes and all the dishes were outstanding. Starters and bread were served hot and refilled upon request. All the dishes were first class even the kids enjoyed the Indian food. Desserts were top notch !! Last but not the least, the party hall was neatly arranged and well maintained with the new paint and it was overall a pleasant and a memorable experience. Special thanks to Mr. Prasad for giving us the contact for the decorations and his team for pulling off our son’s birthday celebration and making it a grand event. Highly recommend this place and their service and worth the price!!
Aicha Fall
The food was AMAZING. My husband is a very tough food critic and he LOVED everything. The owner was super nice too and we’ll definitely be back. We got some chicken tandoori, chicken tikka masala, pepper goat and goat curry.
Littin
They have one of the best sheuzwan chicken fried rice. Chicken 65 is pretty good too
Jay S.
Everything we ordered was delicious. The paneer wraps are pretty large portions. The pav bhaji was a hit. Samosa chaat included two samosas and Chole. The paneer pizza is a good medium size. Overall, very flavorful and delicious.
Something to note; dosa’s are only served on weekends.

I'm always excited to try to Indian type restaurants. So coming here and seeing the various items on the menu has me excited. The list of foods have a large variety of different style dishes. From a Lunch menu, indian-style fast food, appetizers, and a large assortment of pastries/desserts. I highly recommend taking a chance with any of the appetizers or fast food items. The lunch menu is a safe choice but I'm not there to try something I'm already all too familiar with. Overall, this place is fantastic and a nice mix up of Indian style cuisine. A welcomed place next to all the other generic food places on Fowler near USF.
Raj Kumar Reddy
Ordered chicken 65, chicken biryani and Vada Pav.. food is excellent, really enjoyed the biryani — felt like I was in Hyderabad. It always depend on the chef and I will definitely ask for Prasad (chef) before I visit again to avoid any disappointments! 👍 - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ …
Allan Joy
Made a corporate order for my office and everyone absolutely loved the food. The delivery was on time. Would definitely recommend this place for catering orders.
Asim Nabi
Eateries like chaat, Indo-Chinese, all kinds of fast foods are really nice.
Every time I crave for anything spicy and out of the league, I visit Pastries & Chaat, and they never disappoint me.
The service is really fast, with pretty good inside sitting area.
Do try their Mango lassi and aloo patty
saria19
It's good for a fast dinner, quality is decent, but they don't always have everything on their menu and it's disappointing to be craving a mango lassi and they don't have it.
kanna arutla
I always order food for my house parties here, food and customer service amaze me.
Thank you Prasad garu for making my daughters birthday success and Almost all the guests were praising food.
Aravind Gayam
Humble restaurant (more than a bakery).
The staff was helpful in understanding concerns and making sure we enjoyed the experience.
This store is more than just pastries and chaat. The thaali and Biryani were out of the place. Visitng this place again.
lohit dacha
Nice casual place for anyone seeking good Indian food. Love all the chat items and for main course my personal favorite is the Vijayawada dum biryani.
Taitlyn Feith
I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! This food was absolutely AMAZING! As someone who grew up with authentic Mexican food made from love, this gave me that same dance-in-your kitchen with loved one’s feeling. I felt it all the way in my soul. My friends know me to be an extremely underwhelming food critic most of the time but this was moving. Topping it off with the chai and some honey I was ready for a nap and a rainy day in the house. Thank you so much for this beautiful experience.
Swathi Priya
Gobi 65 is not that good, when I ordered. Other than that, rest of the items are really good :)
Mumina Elias
I had veg biriyani and paneer Kati, it was very good, and I am currently dealing with the fallout of eating it. Very fast service, high quality I think to be so fast and at a decent price point. Takeout container for biriyani is reusable and also has a great portion. Very veg friendly. I highly recommend especially if you have a GrubHub coupon.
Abhishek Navanit
Stopped by yesterday for my fix of keema curry. Very consistent with the taste. Do not miss the pepper goat, tandoori fish. Owner Munna bhai came over to the table and had a great conversation.
Vikram Chandra
Vijayawada goat biryani superb
Gnanakumar Inbasekaran
The name is misleading. May be they would have started with only Cakes and snacks. But they now make Biriyani, pizza, Naan, Veg and Non Veg curry.. so it's a full fledged Indian Restaurant.
Channa samosa is good but samosa Chaat is too dry to eat.. panneer pizza is OK but Naan is not that soft. Mixed Veg curry is not up to mark.. Birthday cakes are good. Typical Indian style cakes in different flavors. The one with Mango and pineapple are good...
Jay Malik
Good tea. Nice samosa chat. Wonderful pastry. Impressive service.
Naga Manchineni
Amazing food..had Vijayawada chicken biryani and mutton pulav. Best food in Tampa I had so far.
Pranay Reddy
Called the restaurant couple of days prior to ordering a customized cake. The person(Prasad) who helped with the phone order was friendly and ensured a hassle-free experience. Honestly, I was very nervous about the cake, but it turned out to be a masterpiece. Needless to mention the attention to detail on the cake. Meticulously crafted to perfection. The cake was delicious, beautiful, elegant, and classy. Ordered this cake as a surprise for my cousin, she loved the cake, we loved the cake and everyone loved the cake. Cheers to the management.
Gopal Raval
This restaurants open in last 2-3 month .its a fast food restaurant so it should be open all day. Fast food test is really good you will feel like Indian test. Restaurant is very hygienic. They will try to make your test.
Eshwar P
Mesta (Gongura) leaf biryani is a must try.
Delicious Pastries and Puff's.
Kimberly De leon iriarte
Glad I tried it I was about to get mexican food but Indian food taste just as good!! My husband tried it and unbelievably liked it and this man doesnt even like olive garden 😔 yummm THANK YOU will be back! …
Ani Sawant
Every time we would plan on going to Tampa (we live in Ellenton) to buy Indian Groceries from Patel Brothers on Fowler I would be so excited to eat at Pastries right after. It was just like when I was a kid, go with mom to the market and eat a snack right after that. But in recent months Pastries has really starting to disappoint. Not sure what’s going on!! A new chef or cook. Don’t know what’s going on.
Don’t get me wrong, pastries was one of our favs in Tampa. It takes a lot for me to like an Indian food restaurant. But pastries really did win us over when we first ate here almost 2 years ago. We always use to recommend our non-Indian friends to go eat at PnC to get a true authentic Indian food experience.
But it’s sad to say that it’s not the same lately.
Ok. Now the food:
Try their chicken and veg puffs. They are still quite good. Use to be nice and moist inside, but lately they are coming out dry. But still not bad.
Ohh, my fav: Keema Pizza!!! Really not sure what’s going on with this one. I use to love it. But lately the keema (ground goat cooked like taco ground beef) does not taste the same. Keema needs to be with that kick, that spice that greasy taste (which it was). It’s turning more towards North Indian style which is not what it supposed to be. The pizza base was awful. I mean I get it, if you don’t want to bake your own pizza base, there are some really nice ready bases on the market. That base was awful.
Mango Lassi, the Cake Pastries and all that it’s all still fine. But they are all secondary to the actually main course items on the menu.
They have a good samosa though.
Guys you really need to get it together. This is our only favorite (still*) Indian restaurant.
I hope you guys really get it back to how it was.
Edit (After Owner Response): Try keeping a small bowl of water inside the puff warmer, that might help keep them moist. Try it out during non- business hours to see if the trick works.

We had excellent food at Pastries and Chat, it was authentic and delicious. The ambience was cool and clean, staff was cordial and treated like family. Our relatives who came from Northeast were amazed with Mr Prasad and his excellent crew. Kids were so happy, now it became our favorite place
Umar Abdullah
Small quantity for the price. Loved their dahi puri. They give just 6 small pieces@
Dushyant Kumar Ganesh
Great place and excellent food. Especially their Samosas. We had booked the banquet hall recently, excellent customer service by Prasad, Feroze and team, they took very good care. Food was delicious, came on time, and our guests enjoyed thoroughly. Staff was kind enough to pack the leftovers for us. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again to the staff.
Praveen Kumar
Thanks you Mr. Prasad birthday cake was superb and taste was amazing.
Will be back soon.

Decent Indian place for chat items and food
vamsireddy janga
BEST INDIAN FOOD IN TAMPA. I have been coming to this place since it started few years ago, love the food here. We catered here for our Housewarming party recently, all our guests still talk about how good food is! You can customize as you want many great food options, and the price is right! We worked with Prasad who is also the chef here so friendly and professional. They have delivery option which was helpful to us as we were all busy, delivered right on time. The quality of the food is amazing. If you want great Indian food, I will HIGHLY recommend this place best Indian Food/Catering in Tampa.

I loved it.. Especially the Jasmine Rice.. I could just eat that all day.. love the spices.. will be back. ( blogger eotg.blog)
Eswar Bala
Best chat place in tampa. Pav Bhaji was awesome! They made gola that we get in Mumbai. Delicious!
Amna Rohail
Food was fine but had a bad experience with the family size biryani option. The biryani was not good. It was not fresh at all.
Kothapalli Bhavana
Just loved it! Vijayawada biryani gives that home feel! Real south indian food. Biryani lovers will love it! Cut mirchi and pastries are too good!
J M
Friend of mine put me onto their butter chicken with roti and I am obsessed! So glad she did or I would have honestly probably never stopped at this hidden gem. Delicious food, nice and helpful staff, and very clean inside. Portions and prices aren't bad either so that's always a plus!!! Yum!!
Shandra Battick
I had the chicken 65 in a lunch special. The rice and chicken we're so good. I love my mango lasse. I shall return again and again.
FM Dessi
Pastries n Chat was very helpful with me and ordering a vegan dish. I got the veggie noodles and it was delicious! The people there are very friendly and helpful. Thank you!
Unknown A
This is the delicious haleem place in town . The taste stays in tongue for sometime . Mix of spice and the smooth texture as you get in Hyderabad during this time of the year . Hot hot Haleem made me to run for second time .

Best Veg/Non Veg food in Tampa. Less oily, spice level is correct and delicious... Owner also very polite and respectful person...
IMRAN KHAN
The food is really good!! The taste is amazing.. they have upgraded their menu.. and the service is phenomenal..

I only tried vada pav & chai, it’s a perfect combination for any Mumbaikar! Vada tastes really delicious.
Christie Balke
got a TON of food for a great price, and it was ready really quickly and really good! the workers were polite as well

This is a nice little quasi-fast-food chain that has made its way to Tampa. I found the online ordering process to be fairly straight-forward and easy to use. I arrived for curbside pickup, but the man who answered the phone seemed a bit confused and spoke so softly that his words were unintelligible. No matter, I went it to get my food. I purposely showed up 10 minutes late as I had read other reviews saying their food was not ready on time. The woman behind the counter was friendly and packed all the food up and tied the bags tightly. I could not see what all she was putting in the bag, so I had to take her word for it. Unfortunately, when I got home, I saw that one item of my $60 or so order was missing. Not the biggest concern, but when they tie the bags up so you cannot check the order without tearing it apart, you hope that everything is there. I called the store to ask for a credit for the one item (did not want to drive another 20 minutes for chocolate cake), and was told the manager would contact me to discuss. I have not heard back yet as of this writing. The food was pretty good. I especially liked the Paapdi Chaat which I had never had before. Plain cheese pizza (on the small side for $9) for the kids and the Chicken Tikka Masala combo were of good quality. I had ordered mild spice Chicken Tikka, and boy was it spicy! My nose was watering and my lips were burning, and so I managed to get through about half of it. Certainly an honest mistake. In the end, I won't fret over the lost desert, although my kids were all quite distressed. There are many Indian restaurants to choose from in the Tampa area, so I have had the opportunity to taste perfection. Although Pastries N Chaat was good, I cannot say it was my favorite. Perhaps with less spice and the order fulfilled correctly, I could put it in the top 5. I would consider giving it another chance (making sure to tear the bag apart next time) if I am in the area.
Update: Manager reached out and was very kind. He has definitely inspired me to return.
Mohammed Patwary
Very delicious, satisfied, my hunger, I hope to come here again very soon.
Chhavi Gupta
We just ate two days in a row. The food is excellent. They also serve indochinese the best in the city. They have the real hakka noodles that transports you to India immediately. They also have the best dosa. We had the family style one and it was amazing with special peanut chutney, outstanding.... All the items are savory and perfect. The service is excellent and they are so attentive and friendly...
kieronn gani
We did an birthday event at this place. The place is good enough for 30 adults and 10 kids. Food is very good. All our guests liked the food.
Cornflower 92
This places food is really really yummy! It's the most authentic indian restaurant. ive sampled many restaurants in tampa and outside tampa, and this is so far the best tasting indian restaurant. the cakes and food were just delicious but i do feel the restaurant needs to be more consistent with their in store menu. I did not order online, i went into check them out. alot of whats on the menu in the restaurant was not available at that moment. i had to settle with something they had instead of what i wanted from the menu.
Sijo Paradayil
Pastries and Chat is our favorite place to hang out for food since we came to Tampa(2019). We absolutely loved the food and dining experience. Staff member of PnC are respectful and caring for the customers. Over the period of time, PnC has added more items in the menu covering multiple flavor needs. I highly recommend PnC who loves Indian food.

My families go to restaurant when we are craving some spice! Great customer service and great prices! 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting to expand their pallet.
Lili Manzi
Great service and everyone is so kind! I got so much food with my order and it was all delicious and worth it, will be coming back thank you!!
anurag singh
Good for biryanis and appetizers. And less wait time on take outs.. : )
Kazim Hosein
Not just traditional flavor and wholesome portions.
Not just dilectable entrees and mouthwatering meals.
In the market for tasty flood at a fair price, then, come sit in.
Originally I wanted to take out, however, ended up sitting in with the family and had a delightful time with the courteous staff.
Fred Zed
Great food.
Mahantesh Paramaj
This is nice place to visit for Indian chaats and appetizers. Tea is kind of ok.
Obada Keenan
Food was good.
4/5 biryani
2/5 chicken tikka masala. Tasted like tomato sauce.
4/5 Gobi Manchurian.
Chicken 65 is good.
Dining in was not pleasant. The food was lukewarm. The purpose of me dining in was to eat it fresh. Restaurant was not busy. Sent food back for 2 meals. I’ve never been to a restaurant with Paper plates and spoons. Self service.
If I come back. Will definitely order to go so that I can take it home and put it in the oven and eat from glass plates.
Hunter Xoxo
For the Pakistani desi foodies guys food is just average. You'll not get even the close taste to that of Pakistani cuisines.
I ordered chicken dum biryani, Tandoori chicken, and some appetizers like chaat paani puri etc.
Taste: 5/10
Naresh V
We have been going to this restaurant since 2 years. Really enjoy the quality food and the friendly service. Must try vijayawda chicken dum biryani and chicken kati rolls.
Gokul Surapureddy
Food is delicious. Especially their trademark vijayawada biryani is extraordinary. Gobi Manchurian and Samosa Chaat are also very good.
sai deva
My favorite biryani place in tampa. Chicken 65 is very good. Ordered several times and one time the taste was not as usual but it will not stop me from coming back !!
Lorie Cartwright
Quick service, large portions. Delicious food from South India. I have tried 6 different dishes and the buffet offered on Friday afternoon And have enjoyed all of them. This is the real deal. The place is easy to get to and has Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Good prices!
Karthik Achalkar
I ordered goat biriyani and goat curry and it was incredible. Good quality freshly made authentic Indian food. It had good portion of food. Package quality was also good. I highly recommend this excellent restaurant.
Usman Siddiqui
This place has a pretty homely experience. The staff is very friendly and hence the customer service was amazing. We loved the food. It has a very authentic taste to it. None of the food felt rushed even though they served it after a very reasonable and short wait.
Big G
Its a fast casual, in and out place with decent food. Not much service, no one will check on you, to ask if the food is good even if u r dining in. Just buy ,eat leave. Didnt leave any good memories to bring u back.
A message to the owner, atleast to the dine in clients, it does cost ur caretaker guy or that young fellow u have there, to ask how is you food.
Its still a service business.
Wynn Q
Great food, the best in a long time . We had the chicken biriyani, wonderful flavor with the spices. We meant the chef and he explained the restaurant concept and opening more locations and adding the fine dining experience next door. The pleasing atmosphere and cleanliness was good to see and top priority I hope it continues. The chef treated us to a piece of his mango cake it was so moist ,not overly sweet and tasty totally took me by surprise. I hope to visit again when in Tampa but hope they will come closer to us on the East coast of Fla north of West Palm Bch. Please enjoy great food and try something new.
rama cherkur
Nice to see dine in is open after long Covid break. We got our favorite Vijayawada Chicken Biryani which was simply superb. Pastries N Chaat's Biryani is the best as we tried at several places from Tampa to Naples. Best flavor, quality, qty & price. Keep it up.
Akanksha Singh
We tried Samosa, Noodles and Chicken Manchurian there.
Samosa was very bad. It was smelling.
But noodles and chicken Manchurian was good.
Service are too slow.
Shivlal SomeVani (Cyrus-the-Virus)
Good strong tea needs more cardmon for sure.
Chaat looks good - its mostly a guju house - and decent service.
Pastries - huuuuh I would avoid, chaat and indian food is good. I suppose Inidan desserts should be good (not pastries... better stick with a western bakery... American Pies, French Pastries... etc). Unless you want sugar up the kazoo!
Bibi H
Love this place, the food is absolutely delicious. Best chicken biryani I have had in Tampa so far. Restaurant is clean and modern. We ordered the chicken dum biryani, chicken 65, and butter chicken combo. Food was fresh, served hot and delicious. The staffs are patient especially when you need to know what things are. One of the most important things is consistency and they have it. We went multiple timesdine in and also take out and the food was just as delicious as as the first time. One thing with some other places is that you have to catch them on a good day otherwise it's like eating reheated food, not with these guys. I would absolutely recommend them, can't wait to try other dishes.
varsha cataram
I ordered Karam dosa and Guntur goat biryani… dosa was very good especially peanut chutney was very tasty and biryani was very fresh and tasty looks like they made it with pure Ghee we could smell ghee and taste it …. Worth eating here
# Agwani
Awesome..must try! Pure and authentic taste of Indian food
Avinash Venkataraman
Pretty good choices of both vegetarian and meat based food are available. Water/cutlery etc are self service and it helps keep their costs down. Although the taste of food nor the Chaat items aren't 100% authentic, this restaurant satisfies the Indian food when you crave for it. Overall I'd give 8/10. If they could improve the taste of the food, it will be much better.
Ken Val
This place has amazing food. I had been eating here since 2017. Their vijayawada chicken dum biryani is best in this area!!! I am from hyderabad and i am a big fan of biryani. I usually dont get convinced with the taste of biryani easily but this place knocks it out of the park all the time. Good job pastries and chaat. Keep up the quality of your food.
Orion Maier
Indian style pizzas here well seasoned and bursting with flavor.
M J
The food tastes good. I have tried samosa, veg puff and egg puff, ginger chicken, and veg meal and all of it was good. It’s a self service so don’t expect no service. There’s a dedicated corner where you can find water, condiments, spoons and plates. Food is good so no complaints.
Peter Singh
Excellent Food & Service, the manager: Prasad was great!
Reicelle Garcia
Hands down best chicken biryani in Tampa!! The appetizers are really delicious and there's a lot of appetizers to try. So we will be back! The staff are really friendly. 10/10, highly recommended.
shaik majid
Very fast service, diverse menu and food is excellent
Khaleel Khan Mohammed
Tandoori Pompano is our favorite. Always fresh and amazing taste. Love it again...
Rao Medikonda
I have ordered catering from this restaurant last month for 200 people. The food arrived on time and is very hot. We have ordered 4 starters and several Veg and Non-veg items. The items are very tasty. We got good feed back from the guests too. I have tasted food in 4 other restaurants before giving the order to Pastries. I feel like I made good choice. I recommend Pastries for all catering needs.
Ravi Kanchiraju
Best Indian restaurant in Tampa metropolitan area. Their Vijayawada Chicken Dum Biryani is very special.
Vimal Shah
Excellent fast food Indian food, will definitely come back here again. We used the emenu to order and it was a breeze to use!
Amanda H
Food was delicious! The perfect amount of spices (chicken tikka masala) & sweet (white forest cake)! Would definitely recommend 🎉🤩 …
AUSTIN BHASKAR SAMPATH SELVADURAI
We had our son's 1st year Birthday party here. The place was nice and decent. The food was really so tasty and served hot. The Cake was very nice and juicy. Everyone has appreciated the cake and Food. The staffs are very friendly and helpful.
S P
Food is sweet. Papdi Chaat and samosa Chaat are too sweet and not authentic. Puff pastry is sweetish because of too many onions. Can do better.
Bruce Lee
We got take-out here and enjoyed it a lot. My wife got the butter chicken and I had the lamb korma. We both found the spice level to be just right, it was hot but not firey but I'm sure they can dial it up/down. My only complaint would be that the lamb wasn't boneless which for authentic Indian isn't surprising.
Mehaboob Syed
The Best place for South Indian Flavored Food and especially Biryani. Spice level is custom and taste is awesome 👏🏻 . Also so many chat items to try. Just thought of giving it a try but became fan of it. Customer service is good with friendly people. I love this place. 😋. …
Nirupama Sanjeev
Catering was awesome!! Ordered from them for our Deepavali party and was pleasantly surprised with the professionalism and punctuality. Food quality was great too. By far, the best Indian restaurant in Tampa. Highly recommend!
Abha M
The ambience is warm and cozy. The food tasted good and wasn't too much spicy just for the sake of taste. One of the very few restaurants I liked in Tampa. The pastries were mouthwatering delicious! Would love to go again and try more of their chats.
Sara Avula
Love Love Love this restaurant!!!
Excellant Service and Excellant Food!
I went with my sister's family today to have Dosa and Chat . Typically they don't serve Dosa's on Monday morning's. Since, it is Memorial day, they went out of their way to serve Dosa's for us. They have some 21 varieties of dosa's . They were so... crisp and tasty!!! Their Kulfi's are to die for!!!.
Check out this feel good food pl!!!! Thank you "Pasteries and Chat" . You made our vist today SPECIAL!!!
Moe123
This place is a gem! One of the most authentic Indian food in the US. It’s fairly priced and new dishes are added frequently to an already mouth watering menu. Don’t forget to try their cakes/desserts. Soon to be a landmark in Tampa!!
Madhukar Reddy Suram
Everything in this place is very good....pastries, cut Mirchi bajji, egg puffs, Raju gari Kodi pulav....had the authentic South Indian taste.
Edit: looks like there is a change in the management, they are taking forever to complete their Togo orders, this happened three times ok the past month or so.i had to literally wait for an 80 minutes after placing the order to get the food.
Max Rostas
This was easily one of the best restaurant experiences I've had. We were seated in the new sit-down serviced dining area, and the owner was super accommodating throughout the whole experience. He gave us several suggestions as we browsed the menu, and the food ended up being crazy good (especially the chili gobi).
SaiChaitanyaVarma Pusapati
One of the best restaurants in town. Was there last weekend and had the best biriyani I ever had in the USA.. very cool ambience and neat. Super cool self service restaurant. Also on a side note I haven't seen a rest room as clean as this one in any Indian restaurant before. Wish I could give 10 stars
Leonardo Moreno
Good quality Indian food made to order! The chicken 65 is the most amazing magical thing u will ever put in your mouth! Order the vijaywada... it’s chicken biriyani with chicken 65 on top so DOUBLE THE CHICKEN!!! You won’t regret it... also they have buffets on some Fridays which is amazing
Glen Carter
The food is amazing! Very clean restaurant with friendly service. They delivered our food to the table with a smile.
Felisa Sanjay
Amazing food and place. Cleanliness and costumer service was superb! The samosa chaat, gobi manchurian, and chicken dum biriyani was all stars! Definitely coming back here for the naan weekend!
navya reddy
Ordered layered cake for friends baby shower and they did exactly as shown in picture and the flavors are also so good and juicy. Very reasonable cake prices compared to other wedding cake locations.
Food is good too but pastries are usually awesome.
SRINIVASU KAKI
I had mixed experience for my weekend visit to this restaurant. I ordered biryani and two side platters along with that. Veg platter was good but the non veg platter was not fresh made for sure. Even the biryani was microwaved to the order. The customer service needs to improve a lot. When I visit any Indian restaurant and paying more than other restaurants, I won’t prefer to carry the plates to trash. Hope you will look into this
Mohit Bharti
PnC Tampa is one of our favourite Indian restaurants. We specially loved their Tandori Pomfret and Indo Chinese dishes. Hosts/ Owners are very friendly and take care of customers satisfaction. Highly recommend!
DatMallu Chic
This place is a bit pricey. I didn’t like the chili powder sprinkled on top of the pani puri, as usually I haven’t had it in this manner from other places I’ve gone to. I wish there were a few more pani puris to justify the price. The vada pav was alright, but it was a bit too spicy as well. The mango lassi was good, but I feel it was too small for the price. Overall, a good place and my sister said she’s previously enjoyed the pastries from this place. There is a adequate seating and good customer service.
Deepti Bettampadi
Delicious food and friendly staff. I ordered Pav bhaji and mango lassi. Pav bhaji was Indian spicy and delicious. The pavs were soft and a good amount of ghee had been used to roast them. The mango lassi was different from other mango lassis I have tasted in that I could taste the actual yogurt, was not too sweet, and had a delicious hint of cardamom. The only drawback is that we have to fetch the cutlery ourselves but otherwise a good experience.
sahasra jasti
Prasad at Pastries and Chat took care of our order and delivered on time and the food was really good. The price and quality was good. Kudos to Prasad
Annam Sayeed-Rivera
I had the Vijawada chicken briyani which the waiter suggested was their popular dish. It consists of chicken briyani, and comes with chicken 65 appetizer on top. It was very similar to how my mom makes briyani. Being out of town and not able to cook in a hotel I was craving Desi food and this hit the spot. It was not overly spicy (on a Desi scale). I ordered mine to go, and it was a good size portion. They also included some shorba (gravy) and yougrt.
Amin Mohammad
Pastries version excellent!
And Chaat, version excellent!
And Cake, version excellent and beautifully decorated!
And Overall experience, version excellent.
This place has awesome offerings on their menu. Tampa needed this..
And Hospitality, version excellent!
And Ambiance, version excellent!
I myself run an Indian Restaurant a couple of miles away, and I wish you bigger and greater success folks.
Celeste Casey
OMG!!! If you pass up the opportunity to eat here, you are missing out! This is the best and most authentic Indian food I've had in a long time. Please don't judge the book by it's cover. Go inside and experience pure DELIGHT!!! Food and service are exceptional!!!
Nabin Saud
Hugee serving size, if you don't eat a lot. Order 1 entries for 2 people. Pretty good food.
ANKUR RAWAT
Awesome food. Authentic Indian taste. The pastries are mouth watering and would dissolve in your mouth before you can eat. Had a great experience. They should improve on the quality of tea though which is a major ingredient of any evening snack time. Also, it will be great if they can add Chowmein as well as Aloo Tikki in menu. These are again some of the common street food items in India.
Rest, keep it up.
Rachel Bandoo
Because it’s fast food I was expecting the food to be of less quality in both taste and presentation. This was NOT the case when I ordered my Vada Paav. It was soooo delicious and spiced to perfection! (I like mine spicy but not too spicy), the presentation was very neat and appealing. The restaurant was clean and the atmosphere seemed very relaxed, check out was 1,2,3. I will definitely be here again!
D Newton
I know nothing of Indian Street Food. But after visiting Pastries and Chaat I am wishing I had become familiar long ago. The Vijaywada Biriyani was delicious and perfectly spicy! I have been here twice now just before closing and both times the staff has been incredibly friendly and helpful when I ordered without knowledge of Indian food. They were sure to double check on us to make sure we were pleased.
I have also noticed that the owners pay close attention to their reviews in order to continually perfect their customer's experience. And it occurred to me...the thing that ultimately convinces me this restaurant is a rising star in the Tampa community is the collection of Google reviews. More specifically, most of the reviews are stellar. And a great deal of those stellar reviews are from Google Local Guides. However, NONE of the poor reviews are from Google Local Guides which leads me to believe that Pastries and Chaat has trounced their competition who, short of posting fake reviews, are unsure of how to properly respond to the passion and commitment of PNC.
Thank you PNC for a unique experience that I might have never had unless I were to fly to India myself. I will definitely be back!
Kashif Basaria
The greatest South Asian joint I've been to ever!!! Literally exceeded my expectations with quality, taste, vibes, and service. HIGHLY recommend. You haven't been to any good Indian bistro if you haven't visited this one!!!
Srinivasa Reddy
We catered the food for our party through chaats and pastries and the food was outstanding . Their chicken biryani and pepper chicken was the best I have tested . Other items were outstanding too. Highly recommend them for catering as well as regular orders. They delivered on time and provided even hot boxes to keep the food hot, Thank you so much .
Sean Singh
The smell when you walk in gets you right away. The flavors were delicious. The menu is big enough to accommodate everyone. This is part of multiple locations and you would think it is local.
sai manogna thakur
Raju Gari Kodi pulav is just awesome and mouthwatering dish must try.
This place is neat clean and hygienic.
Do visit this place if u love indian food
Naresh Kumar
They say all day it is available but when asked they speak rude and they there is no sign stating they havent any offer as such. After showing the phamplet they say it is over by 6pm. Guys better avoid this shop since they don't keep the offer as they advertise.
Updated 6/6/2020
Hell with your lighter note... You gave false advertisement and you cannot keep up the word you gave. I know how you guys behave with customers and you did not even apologize or feel bad about this. I will not provide 1 star rating to Best buy and i know how black friday deal works. Your way of treating customers and reply behaviour will come back to you on some form soon. By the way I ordered biriyani again since my friend told me that things got changed, but the scenario is same, Food was worst, i use to love Vijayawada chicken biriyani a lot, now the quality is so bad that i am not going to order any food from your restaurant. Chicken topping was very less hardly 5 pices was there and the chicken was tasting bad. It looks like it was very old. I will spread the word to my friends to avoid this shop at all cost. Until you respect the quality you are going down on rating.
Edited : after contacting munaver he acknowledge the issue politely and liked that, manager should listen to issues for this i am changing the review to 4 star...I could have given 5 but the consistency is missing once in a while. Inai keep old message in case the management changes to know what happened yearly.
H HHO
We over ordered and didn't regret it. The food and service were great. Loved the pani puri, the nan, the biryani and everything else.
Shantel Mystique Hair Designs
Wonderful Indian cuisine!! Ordered the non veggie dal and the samosa chaat. Been here about 4 times already and have not been disappointed. They have very tasty cakes which I believe are vegan based ingredients.
munagapati dilipkumar
❤️🔥🤤
Ye Yen
First time trying indian Food so I couldn't really compare it. We ordered paneer, chaat and coffee. I enjoyed the chaat, very rich in spices, and healthy. The man on the counter was patient and friendly in entertaining my questions with a smile . The pastries and ice cream selection were very limited. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a thumbs up. Worth coming back.
sandeep rao
Pastries and snacks are good - biryani family pack is not worth the money and the price is too high for the product you get. And biryani is not good . They claim you get appetizer along with it , the appetizer we got is horrible, couldnt even chew them forget about digestion. Just go for samosas and chat . Rest leave to the rest.
Shikha Sharma
This place was amazing! We had many dishes and all were so good. Also great service, and the Black Forest cake was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.
Rehab Kamel
I ordered butter chicken and a biryani. Food quality is really good. Butter chicken was a bit spicy like 3 out of 5 spicy.
kunal arora
Coming from NJ was not expecting much but it is a great joint in Tampa, loved the Andhra Paneer . It is mind blowing. There Pav Bhaji is also very good and Bun served along is great, it seems very fresh. There portions are big.My friends had chicken biryani and it seemed very good too.
Knowlton
Ordered for delivery with DoorDash. Food was delicious! By far some of the best Indian food we've had in a long time. Biriyani and Ginger Goat was especially good.
Sridhar Gundla
Chats and pastries are good but food isn’t that great. If you’re ordering Roti’s then don’t. You could rather bring your own frozen Roti’s from any Indian store.
Steve Pereira
really great food. will definitely return next time in tampa
Phani Krishna Abburu
Off-late i have been hearing a lot of good reviews about P & C, so for the new years even I wanted to try this place, so we have ordered 4 appetizers for a to go. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the taste, a perfect taste for a party !! I would definitely visit this place and want to try more dishes too.
Kishor Shankaranarayan
One of the good Indian place to eat, the quality and the quantity is very well taken care of. One of the suggestion will be to carry a box for a take home in case of having extra on the plate as they want to avoid wastages. One of the must try is their bhel puri as it tastes good and also is a stomach filler
althaf khan
Today I walked in with friends, initial welcome response was good. Guy in the front helped us with there special items. Helped me in choosing items, ordered chaats which has authentic flavor. Ordered chilly chicken and Apollo fish, spice level was perfect. Good music, indian culture .
Good place to visit with family and friends.
SHANTEL G
Like our 5th or 6th time here on a date as an engaged couple and with the family, and my SECOND REVIEW. I am not Indian and the food is always good! The food always comes out fresh and the sauces are always on point Ze’shaun (I’m sure I spelled that wrong sorry :p ) but he is happy to explain any questions so friendly, which makes it feel like family!!!! My favorites is always the non veg thali and my favorite component was the Moondaal and the rasmalai (creamy white desert) was awesome.... if you like sweet white creamy dishes! Abdul & Shantel
Deepak Kumar
I am being here several times and tested almost all vegetarian menu items .
Typical chat items is better than others but still there is some scope of improvement . Veg thali is good and economical also . Biryanis are not best in Tampa but you won’t waste your money.
Chahatkumar Patel (Charilla)
Food and customer service really great. Ordered pani puri and pav bhaji both delicious. Beware little on the spicy side if you can’t handle let them know and they take care of u. Clean and quiet environment must try for all. ++++ bathroom super clean unlike other Indian food restaurants.
black man
Nice and tasty food. They didn’t forget to bring the taste of Indian chat items. My favorite : Traditional hydrebadi Dum briyani -perfectly cooked & mutton keema.
Good ambience. A place to spend a evening or night for chat/dinner. Delicious Cakes and few Indian sweets - should be mentioned. Kids love it.
Keep up guys!!
Kokila Jain
I am giving 4 stars because of its pastries and chat. Other than these items, like biryani, it was not even satisfactory. It was loaded with garam masala with absolutely no taste. Will go there again but only for its classic Indian flavored pastries.
Milind R
This place has something new to offer from the traditional fine dining restaurants. A fast casual restaurant with some Indian street food options. The only elaborate dish on the menu was Biryani( something no Indian restaurant can avoid due to its immense popularity). Only thing I would have wished is that it would have been a restaurant with much wider appeal rather than a restaurant which appeals to Indians only.
Coming to the food, the dahi batata chaat was top notch, the mutton biryani was pretty good, was disappointed with the Vijaywada biryani, the sev puri was ok & I heard the pav bhaji was disappointing(I didn't try this. A friend of mine did). Now coming to the highlight of this place which is their filter coffee. Now for those of you who are not familiar with filter coffee, it is an Indian equivalent of cafe con leche found at cuban places. Its hard to find at Indian restaurants in Tampa. If you visit please try the coffee.
Genia Khezina
This was without a doubt some of the best food that I have had in a long time. The prices were reasonable and the portions were huge. It was a wonderful experience and I felt as though the staff were welcoming and happy to answer any of my questions. We will back every week!
Victoria Tompkins
Best food around, always fast service
Krishna Chowdary
Food over here is good. But I don't recommend people going to this place after 8.30 pm. Because food will be very dry by that time and doesn't taste good (I'm talking about biryani in particular). Even the quality of food is degrading day by day. I think management should look into this.
Andrew Breidenbaugh
This place is great! The food is always flavorful, fresh and tasty - with generous portions. The people who work there are friendly and helpful. Love eating here!
Gayathri Suri
We had hosted our daughter's first birthday party @PNC and we are totally happy about taking this decision. The hall was decently spacious, the food was catered by PNC itself and was very delicious, and the yummy bday cake was customised by them as well. Each and everything was handled the way we expected.
Prasad garu and his team were very professional and helpful. I totally recommend PNC and would keep visiting to taste the yummy food time and again.
KV Manepalli
Lovely chaat and pastries collection. Highly recommended by our Vlog guru Volpe. Customized spice level. Enjoyed the food. Will definitely revisit when back to Tampa
Sneha Rao
Quite a fun place BUT, they're not always consistent with the taste of their biryanis and attentiveness to the customer. So we're a little wary of eating biriyani here.
The Chaat on the other hand can be quite interesting. Our favorite is the samosa chaat.
Siddhartha Kejriwal
Good place to eat indian food. The name can be misleading as they offered more than pastries and chaat. I loved the egg biryani. Service and management was screwed up the day I visited, but then we all have our bad days.
Pranavi Ramireddy
Awesome food and pastries taste like real desi style cakes! They are attentive to detail, and go above and beyond for customers! Their catering is also spot on. We will be lifetime customers.
Hina Shadab
Tried their chicken and lamb kheema pizza, one of the best in towns!! Tandoori chicken was sizzling and tastes well. I would go here again. 100% recommend it!!
Mohammed Ahmed
By far the best Biryani I have ever had in Florida. If you are looking for some traditional south indian spicy taste. This is the place to go. Highly recommend!
Shantanu Sharma
This is a nice place but not best. It is not like a big restaurant. And if you an Indian, you will like this place a lot, I hope. However, it may not be true for non-indian. The reason is that the food is too spicy. We went there in a group of five, containing three Indians. All three were not able to finish their food. The food is cheap. Ten dollars are good to purchase a single thing. In day time, you may get a THALLI that contains 3 or 4 vegetables with rice. Also you can get aalu tikki but it does not sound Indian aalu tikki. Same is true for samosha. You may also get pani puri with hot and spicy pani.
Ankoor Desai
We chose Pastries N Chaat to cater our Mehndi night. The food was amazing in quality and taste. Munna went above and beyond to setup food at our event and also to help serve. He was so kind to all of our guests and always kept a smile. I've now been to the restaurant 3 times and I am always impressed. I would recommend Pastries N Chaat for your next event...you will not be disappointed. Thank You Munna for a job well done!!!
Kal N
I ordered the non-veg Thali for lunch today. *customer service: 5 stars (Staff was pleasant and checked if I was pleased)
*Decor: 3.5 stars (it looks like they were in a hurry to open the place. the management needs to put in some effort in cleaning and organizing this beautiful spot)
Food: 3.5 stars (The appetizer server with the Thali was good but a little too spicy. the chicken curry and the daal was bland
I will give them another shot to taste the chaats they have to offer. overall I give them a 4 star rating.
Manisha
Delicious food. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Worth the long drive. Wish they opened more locations.
Nimit
Went again. This place is way better relative to other indian restaurants. It is slightly expensive but the food is fresh. Some items like veg thali, pav bhaji are not as good but the chats are good.
shruthi potpally
Food was amazing, wanted to try more dishes from here but it was a small trip and the store is closed on moday and Tuesday. But definitely going to visit again next time I am in Tampa
Mary McKenzie
I looooooove this place. Indian food is one of my favorites, and this restaurant hits the spot every time. Service is quick and friendly and the food is consistently fresh and flavorful.
Nabhan Chaudhry
When I got the food I was gona give a 2 star because there price/portion size is not good at all but after I had a taste of it, i definitely was impressed. Super tasty but portion size is very small
Minal P.
Food is good, but they take 1.5 hour to bring out your food. If you have time to waste then this is your place. No apologies for taking so long or letting us know that it would take this long.
Tanmoy Halder
This is my favorite restaurant. I liked their lip-smacking dishes. The food is cooked as per my choice. Since I prefer non-spicy food the chef prepared it perfectly. Liked it and will order more.
Nayan Shah
This is One of the better Indian Food joint in Tampa.
It’s less spacious and the options are limited. But they have Indian authentic taste.
For Indian food lovers must try...
A4u
Very nice and testy food in Tampa now, first time I found good restaurant in Tampa after moving form NJ/ NYC. Pepper goat, Dhum Goat, goat biryani, and other items were delicious, I would say # 1 in Tampa to visit every weekend with family and friends. Fast service, good staff and very clean restaurant.
5 star for all items.
Allen Mark
Good place to visit, Quality food. perfect spice level and most important is friendly environment, clean and love their customer care. Helped me in selection of items, in love with appetizers, pastries and house special "vijwad biriyani".
A S A Smith
Fast food self service place,biryani was ok.
Mounica Kurra
Food was really great !! Tandoori pomphret and dosa are my favorite …I Personally recommend this as one of the best Indian restaurant around tampa !! Great service too … 😍😊 …
ravi teja
Must try Vijayawada Chicken Biryani
Chicken tandoori👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Dosa, puff, samosa and pastries are amazing!!
Don’t miss mango Lassi and Chai. …
Krystal S
Super delicious and fresh as long as you don’t mind some spice. I ordered the masala paneer and the chicken dum biriyani through door dash. Both dishes were very good!!
WD Kumar
Best place in Tampa for Biriyani and Pastries. I know it's weird combination but still both taste yummy. Ambience is perfect, easy checkout.
Aashanram Sayeeram
A decent restaurant to get some authentic Indian food. Their chaat (Indian street food) is pretty good and much better than other places on Fowler. Must try: biriyani and pastries.
Shiva Reddy
Outstanding authentic Haleem and chicken Biryani. Loved it, would recommend for core Hyderabadi food cravers.
N G
Vijayawada chicken dum biryani is too good.. Best place for Hyderabad Biryani lovers.. Wait time for pickup order is less comparatively...Don't miss to taste haleem...

We enjoyed pepper chicken and Chicken biryani combo. Both were very good. But the best thing was the Chai.

Ordered vege thali, tikki masala and vege biryani as takeout - all were so tasty. Staff was very polite on the phone and in person. Lunch prices seem reasonable. Will definitely return soon.

The place is a bit pricey, food is okay, not too great but better than average. I am going with 4 because the restaurant looks clean and well maintained. Have already visited twice in a row and will definitely visit again.

This place is very good for biryani and pastries. Very less place inside and even food is served in paper plates as most people prefer TAKE OUT.

TD Mva
Excellent Hyderabad style spicy food. Both goat and Chick biryani were great.
Sayeef Mirza
Authentic. Cultural experience. I'm sure my rents would say.. Feels like home... I'd say that too if I wasn't already born here lol. Every desi person needs to come here. Bring your non-desi friends and educate them on what's right with desi food.
Amit Kakde
Good selection of Indian food and desserts. Food is authentically spicy and flavorful. Definite place to try for a sweet and spicy experience.

Sunil Bandarupalli
Very lively place...newly opened... Indian food heavily spiced, need to cut down....small 'tapas' servings enabling sampling more items.... limited menu...clean.. small place...just what Tampa needs... friendly hosts....has great potential to be a success
Rohit Govindugari
Corn manchuria was not good. Cut mirchi was nice. Would try other items next time.
Probably going close to the closing time is not advisable.

Ramakrishna K
This is the third time we are coming in the evenings, and every time we get this answer from the staff that they are on a limited menu... because they had a busy morning and they have ran out of dishes... Loks like a bad planning or food inventory stocks in their kitchen. Soooo frustrating...
Ramana Reddy Dandu
