What people say, in short
Pista House has broad local backing for biryani and mandi, including recommendations for family meals. The dishes do not get equally enthusiastic responses: two commenters advise against the mandi or find it overhyped, while another prefers the mandi to the basic biryani. One repeat diner reports a disappointing later visit, and a different diner finds the ambience underwhelming. The food recommendations are stronger than the case for a special-occasion setting.
