What to Eat at Biryanis And More 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 Biryanis And More, 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 Biryanis And More, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Ask spice. Ask about the spice level before ordering, especially for children or family meals, since one diner found the biryani extremely hot.
Avoid peaks. Try an off-peak visit if possible: Saturday crowds brought a 15–20 minute wait, while another visit ran beyond 90 minutes.
Check menu. Confirm the current menu before choosing a dish; one reviewer found fewer biryani varieties and no desserts or drinks than shown online.
Use parking. Look around the service road and nearby Karama Fire Brigade area for parking, which reviewers found easy or plentiful.

Common Concerns
Uneven biryani
Biryani results vary sharply: one diner received mostly bones, while others found dum biryani dry, bland or dominated by spice.
Long waits
Service has sometimes been slow, including a reported wait of more than an hour and another of 40 minutes.
Spice levels
One review found the biryani too spicy for children and families, while another described dum biryani as dry and spicy.
Cooling issues
A reviewer reported a non-working AC and water dripping from the roof, while another said food was not served hot.
Small menu
One Saturday visit found the available menu much smaller than the online listing, with no desserts or drinks.

The Bottom Line
Biryanis And More is an Al Karama Indian restaurant built around Hyderabad- and Andhra-style biryani. The menu has attracted praise for gongura biryani, chicken 65 biryani, Afghan biryani and more unusual combinations such as Tenali Fried Wings Biryani. Starters are worth considering too: chicken lollipop, dragon chicken, chicken tikka and hara mirch kebab were all specifically enjoyed by reviewers.
The experience is not completely consistent. Some diners describe authentic flavour, generous portions and biryani that can feed two, while others received dry, mostly rice-based or overly spicy biryani. One mutton order was described as mostly bones, and another review reported bad-smelling raita and missing eggs in a bucket biryani.
If you are dining with children, ask about the spice level first. Families can expect a generally pleasant setting, with reviews mentioning calm music, comfortable ambience and parking nearby. Group ordering is another strength: a veg meal for 50 people reportedly arrived on time and piping hot.
Service, however, can slow considerably during busy periods, so an off-peak visit is sensible. Check the current menu before going, as one diner found it much smaller than the online listing. A separate review also reported a non-working AC and water dripping indoors.
