Check Timing. Visit at a quieter time if possible: one reviewer found the branch uncrowded, while others reported lengthy waits.
Confirm Heat. Ask for biryani to be served piping hot; one customer received the signature mutton biryani cold.
Plan Portions. Check the serving size when ordering mutton biryani, as reviews disagree on whether one order feeds two or three.
Use Parking. If you are driving, look around the building for parking, which a recent reviewer found available.
Try Haleem. Haleem is one of the more consistently praised dishes, although one long-time customer reported reduced portions.
Check Access. Allow extra navigation time if travelling during roadworks; construction around the area affected one visit.

The Bottom Line
Biryaniwalla & Co - Hamriya Port is a Deira restaurant built around Hyderabadi-style Indian food, with biryani as the obvious starting point. Reviews specifically mention zaffrani chicken and mutton biryani, haleem, chicken lollipops and mixed grill-style platters, so there is room to branch out beyond a single rice dish. The setting is a useful part of the appeal.
Customers describe a large, calm dining area with space for families and groups, and several mention parking around the building. Older reviews also liked the visible kitchen, attractive decor and relatively quiet location compared with other branches. Vegetarian and egg biryani are available too; one reviewer found the egg version dry but liked the raita alongside it.
The main caution is inconsistency. Some customers received generous, flavorful food and warm service, while others reported uncooked or bland rice, cold biryani, bone-heavy mutton portions and long waits. Service problems included an unattended cashier and delays of up to 30 minutes for food or takeaway payment.
Hygiene complaints—stained utensils, odorous glasses, mosquitoes and an insect on a table—also appear in the reviews. If you visit, check the portion and serving temperature, and consider a quieter time rather than arriving when staffing may be stretched.
