Food 9

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.”
Gulati kebab Net −1

“Gulati kebab also I didn’t like only saver was shami style kebab but they call it something sikandari.”
Kabab plater chops Net −1

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

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.”
Nalli ghosh Net −1

“I ordered Nalli Ghosh. It was good but the quantity of meat was not as per the price. They gave only 2 small pieces of meat with lots of gravy which I felt was not enough for the price I paid. Otherwise taste and quality was good.”
Rumali roti Net −1

“Rumali roti can be further improve.”
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

The Bottom Line

Biryaniwalla & Co in Al Karama is built around Hyderabadi cooking, with mutton biryani, chicken biryani, kebabs and Indian curries available for dine-in. The strongest recommendations centre on the Zafrani mutton biryani, mixed kebab platter and pathar ka gosh; Chicken 65 biryani and haleem also receive positive mentions. For dessert, Qubani Ka Meetha with Ice Cream is a recurring standout.

The setting is one of the restaurant’s more dependable strengths. Reviews describe a pleasant, decorated interior with ample seating for families and larger groups, and paid street parking is available. Prices are described variously as moderate, good value or medium-to-high, so value depends on the dish and portion: one diner found only two small pieces of meat in Nalli Ghosh for the price.

Consistency is the main caution. Alongside very good meals, customers report ordinary or poorly textured biryani, tough mutton, and a buffet where only the Chicken 65 and pakoras impressed. Service has also been uneven, with complaints about understaffing, delayed water and desserts, incorrect bills and missed requests.

Mention your spice preference, check delivery orders carefully, and consider visiting outside the busiest periods if you want a smoother meal.
