What to Eat at Biryani Spot Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Biryani Spot Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Biryani Spot Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Butter chicken Net −1
“One of the worst biryani ever I had from Biryani spot. I thought Jaffer Bhai biryani is worst biryani, now Biryani spot is on the first place, never ever visit this restaurant, Ordered Hyderabadi Biryani, Wraps, Butter chicken, all are equally bad, surprising thing is no additions given to any of these dishes, no sweets, no raitha, bought biryani for 3 - only one egg, and hardly any pieces, seems all the reviews are fake. worst lunch ever had - nothing else to comment. Actually I don't want to give any stars, unfortunately there is no option to post the comments without star, hence 1 star.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check offers. Ask about the lunch deal between 12 and 5pm; one review reports 1 kg chicken Hyderabadi dum biryani for AED 15.
Confirm delivery. If ordering through WhatsApp, confirm delivery availability first so you are not left waiting for a late response.
Avoid rush. Visit outside busy hours if you prefer more comfortable seating, as the arrangement was described as congested at peak times.
Check menu. During iftar or suhoor, confirm the dish is available before paying; a diner reported repeated substitutions.

The Bottom Line
Biryani Spot Restaurant is a small Indian restaurant in Al Karama with a clear Hyderabadi focus. The main draw is biryani: diners mention Hyderabadi mutton biryani, chicken biryani, chicken masala biryani and Chicken 65 biryani. Supporters describe fragrant rice, balanced spices, soft chicken and tender meat that feels close to the Hyderabad style.
Value is a recurring reason to consider it. One review reported a lunch offer of 1 kg chicken Hyderabadi dum biryani for AED 15, while Chicken Masala Biriyani was praised at AED 10. A monthly mess-plan customer also found the food tasty and more than sufficient.
Nearby paid parking is available, which helps for a quick meal in the neighbourhood. The experience is not entirely consistent. Several customers reported dry rice or dry biryani, and one said a two-person order contained only two small chicken pieces.
Service feedback ranges from warm and attentive during a busy iftar to rude counter behaviour and slow WhatsApp replies. Seating can feel congested during busy hours, and the hand-wash area needs improvement. Check dish availability during iftar or suhoor, and confirm delivery before waiting on a WhatsApp order.
