⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Delicious! Bhai Biryani truly lives up to its name — every bite was bursting with rich flavour and perfect aroma. The rice was cooked to perfection, the meat was tender and juicy, and the spices were balanced beautifully — not too strong, not too mild, just right! The portion was generous and worth every ringgit. The service was friendly and fast, and the food was served hot and fresh. You can really taste the passion and authenticity in every plate. Definitely one of the best biryani spots in town — highly recommended for all biryani lovers!
Food tasted so amazing amd the portion size was so generous. Me and my two friends wiped everything on the plates! Also had the best server Kamran, he gave us great recommendations and was so accomodating. Our experience was ten times better because of him! Would definitely come again
We had biryani and dessert. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Chef. Umair’s dessert was yummy! Thank you, Mr. Usman. Highly recommended!
Fantastic foods and chill environment with air-conditioning and classical background music. A touch of Arabic vibes. Famous desserts like gulab jamun, kesari and extra also available there. Overall i would say 9.5/10
YOU MUST GET THE BUTTER CHICKEN!!!! I didn’t take a picture because I was too hungry. The lassi here are also excellent, must try. The menu is pretty wide. Our server was very accommodating and friendly. The food arrived promptly and was full of flavor. Worth a try! I’ll definitely be back.
Nice authentic flavor of Indian style biryani here. Good Chaiq Masala too. Naan can be improved better and hope all workers put some smiles too so people will feel welcomed. Overall its worthy for its price. Only issue is to find a nearby parking in this area.
THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD I DIDN’T EVEN HAVE TIME TO TAKE PICTURE OF THE MUTTON BIRIYANI! Tastes extremely good but too many of the cardamom seeds. I keep biting into it, ruining the experience. The mutton was class A. The beef filled naan was also an interesting dish. Delicious nonetheless but maybe lacking in seasoning? The service was extremely good. The service guy was very attentive and was kind, polite and courteous. The atmosphere also super comfy, cozy and cool, especially for hot weather like this country omg. Worth a try!
