Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Try Half Portions. Ask about half portions if you want to sample more dishes; one review says they make variety easier.

Share Jumbo. A jumbo biryani has been described as enough for two, so check the portion size before ordering individually.

The Bottom Line

Hyderabadi Biryani House is an Indian restaurant in Al Karama where the main draw is Hyderabadi-style biryani. Reviews especially mention mutton biryani, Hyderabadi Dum Biryani, chicken 65 biryani, haleem and double ka meetha. At its best, the rice is aromatic, the mutton is tender and the spice level feels properly balanced; kebabs, garlic naan and mirchi ka salan also make useful additions.

Portions can be generous. A jumbo biryani was described as enough for two, while another diner said one could feed four and still leave takeaway. Half portions are available according to one review, handy if you want to try several dishes.

Dine-in seating is upstairs, with some reviews describing a cosy or comfortable setting, although another calls the ambience very basic. Parking is not dedicated, so expect paid street parking nearby. The experience is not consistent across the reviews.

Recent complaints include bland or undercooked biryani, tough meat, watery salty raita, small haleem portions and delivery substitutions. More seriously, individual reviews report finding glass in rice, hair in a sweet and experiencing severe illness after a meal; these allegations are not independently verified here but should not be ignored. For delivery, confirm the order and inspect portions and rice when it arrives.
