Honorable mentions (35)

Britain biryani Net +1

“The Britain Biryani showcased the chef's mastery in blending spices and textures. Each forkful was a symphony of flavors, with perfectly cooked Basmati rice and succulent pieces of meat delicately infused with aromatic spices. The dish achieved a harmonious balance that elevated the biryani to a level of culinary artistry.”

Gulab jamun Net +1

“The Gulab Jamun was a sweet revelation. These golden brown spheres of joy were impeccably crafted, boasting a melt-in-your-mouth consistency. The syrup was delicately sweet, not overpowering, providing a flawless complement to the richness of the Gulab Jamun.”
Khubani ki meetha Net +1

“3. ●●Khubani Ki meetha. The Numero Uno. 10 dhs. 5/5. Unhesitatingly I can say, the best in the city. I will visit again if not for anything-only for this dish. Unlike in other places, the khubani/apricot here, doesn't melt and mix with the very sugary syrup and keeps it's own shape separate but remains soft and totally soaked in the sweet syrup. Gives a different dimension.”

What to Avoid (10)

Food 10

Chicken biriyani Net −1

“This was the worst chicken biryani I’ve ever had. I have ordered chicken biryani from Biryaniwala’s in the past, and earlier the taste and portion size were always perfect. However, I am shocked by how badly the quality and quantity have deteriorated in today’s order from Noon.”
Chicken kadai Net −1

“* The Chicken Kadai was disappointing—it resembled butter chicken more than a traditional kadai preparation and did not suit my palate.”
Kabab plater chops Net −1

“Kabab plater chops were more rubbery and not soft as it should be.”
Lucknow biryani Net −1

“Lucknow biryani was no taste at all as it feels like yellow color rice with boiled meat and lesser spices.”
Mutton curry Net −1

“Not very happy with mutton curry but Restaurant team was kind enough to remove it from the bill as per iur complaint which will make ua go therr again ans again.”
Mutton dum biryani Net −1

“Let start with biryani as the name states we ordered mutton dum biryani but it was not that good it was an average taste.”
Mutton kadai Net −1

“The mutton kadai, however, was below average and did not live up to expectations.”
Rumali roti Net −1

“Rumali roti can be further improve.”
Seekh kebabs Net −1

“The seekh kebabs and tikka seemed like leftovers being reheated and served.”
Zafrani biryani Net −1

“Biryani Walla & Co used to be one of my go-to places a few years ago, especially their Zafrani Biryani, which was my absolute favorite. Unfortunately, the recent experience was very disappointing. The Zafrani Biryani is now extremely spicy, to a level that’s hard to handle and the overall taste of other dishes felt very bland.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

State spice. Tell your waiter if you prefer milder food: one diner specifically advised this, while another found the Zafrani biryani extremely spicy.

Visit off-peak. Consider a quieter time if possible, as a lunch review linked slow service to having only two waiters covering the restaurant.

The Bottom Line

BIRIYANIWALLA & Co gives diners a broad Indian menu with a clear Hyderabadi focus. The main draw is biryani, particularly the mutton and Zafrani versions, while the mixed grill platter, kebabs and traditional sweets give groups plenty to share. Reviews also mention chicken tikka masala, haleem and Qubani Ka Meetha with ice cream, so this is not a biryani-only stop.

The setting is one of its steadier strengths. Diners describe elegant or beautifully decorated interiors, peaceful ambience and ample seating for families and larger groups. Street parking is available but paid.

Prices are described variously as moderate, good value and medium-to-high; a few customers felt portions did not justify the bill, so checking serving sizes is sensible when ordering for a group. The important caveat is consistency. Many visits describe rich, well-cooked biryani and attentive hospitality, but others report sticky rice, tough mutton, overly spicy Zafrani biryani or chicken pieces with mostly bones.

Service has also ranged from excellent to very slow, especially when the branch was short-staffed. Delivery errors, delayed follow-up and one serious hygiene complaint about the men's washroom add to the reasons to check your order and speak up promptly if something is wrong.
