First Look at Erie’s Corner Hyderabad Biryani House

Near the corner of 21st and Hillside, there’s been a gas station sitting west of Hillside for years called Erie’s Corner.

There’s a section in the corner of the convenience store where different restaurants have occupied. The most recent is Hyderabad Biryani House who just opened about a month ago.

As you walk into Erie’s Corner Hyderabad Biryani House, just turn right and head to the counter.

The menu featured many popular favorites, including biryani and butter chicken, both of which I went with. The total was just under $30. It took around 10 minutes for my order to be completed.

Let’s start with the chicken biryani. This was an extremely spicy dish. The staff at Erie’s Corner Hyderabad Biryani House didn’t ask about the spice level, so I ate what was given to me. Every 5–6 bites, I had to stop to catch a breath, wipe the sweat off me or find something to drink. The worst part about this meal was there was so much bone in the chicken. And it wasn’t a big piece of chicken with bones in it, it was small tiny bones that looked to have been grounded or broken down. I had to be cautious eating this as I didn’t want to accidentally choke on anything.

Next up was the butter chicken. We’ve had this meal at basically every Indian restaurant in town and even make it at home often. The version found at Erie’s Corner Hyderabad Biryani House was probably the most underwhelming of them. It was missing that tangy buttery flavor and just felt dull.

Along 21st street, there are numerous options to get Indian food and Erie’s Corner was likely at the bottom of the totem pole for us.

Here’s the menu:
