What to Avoid (7)

Food 6

Bar b q chicken Net −1

“. There was Bar B Q chicken in 3 different colors/flavors, but it was all smashed and broken into pieces in the tray — looked messy and unappetizing.”
Mutton biriyani Net −1

“I ordered mutton biriyani. Only taste of saffron (I think) and cloves. It doesn’t taste like biriyani at all. Dominated by garam masala taste … Biriyani taste can be better with flavours of spices and meat not just spices only”
Paneer chilli Net −1

“Paneer chilli din hav any taste..”
Panner mini paneer biryani Net −1

“I’ve ordered the panner Mini Paneer Biryani yesterday and I saw small chicken piece init. I was dinning there with my family and I did not take big issues. Normally I dnt do it. Please makesure that u are offering according to ur quality policy. I’m vegetarian and I felt so bad while seeing this.”
Shahi tukray Net −1

“· The sweet dish was called "Shahi Tukray," but it was completely ruined — nothing like the real taste.”
Vegetable biryani Net −1

“- Not a great Vegetable Biryani, do don't bother to visit this place if you want to have Vegetable Biryani. One of the Worst Vegetables Biryani. All oily rice with boiled vegetables. Served with some gravy made out of curd. Only one option fo Vegetable Biryani.”

Drinks 1

Salted lassi Net −1

“- Salted Lassi is not so good, better order some juice or mocktail.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Visit Weekdays. Go on a weekday if possible; weekend reviews mention crowds, queues and waits of roughly 20–30 minutes.

Try Kebabs. If the biryani feels uncertain, consider the kebabs: one diner found every kebab dish especially good.

The Bottom Line

Biryaniwalla & Co. is a family-style Indian restaurant in Al Nahda with a menu built around Hyderabadi food. The most useful starting points from the reviews are Hyderabadi biryani, Chicken 65 biryani, Pathar ka gosht and mutton haleem.

Pathar ka gosht is praised for being soft and well-spiced, while the haleem has been called exceptionally good. Kebabs are another strong choice, and one diner preferred every kebab they ordered to the biryani. The experience is notably uneven.

Older reviews describe authentic flavours, friendly service, generous portions and quick meals, but several newer reviews report uncooked rice or meat, weak biryani flavour and portions that feel too small for the price. One AED 55 biryani was said to be barely enough for one person. Vegetarian diners should also check their order carefully after a review found a chicken piece in mini paneer biryani and bones in plain biryani rice.

Weekends can mean a 20–30 minute wait, so a weekday visit is easier. Parking has been described as available nearby, but the restaurant has also had air-conditioning problems. For gatherings, reconfirm bookings and avoid relying on delivery when timing matters.
