What to Avoid (6)

Food 5

  1. Bangalore biryani Net −1
    “Went in with full excitement to try Bangalore Biryani, but honestly it felt more like Malabari biryani. If you’re using the name “Bangalore,” please try to serve the authentic Bangalore-style taste.”
  2. Boneless chicken biryani Net −1
    “We ordered a boneless chicken biryani, but the chicken had a terrible odour and was so rubbery that we couldn't eat it. The flavour of the biryani was also very disappointing—it was inedible, even if offered for free. Please don't waste your money on this terrible biryani.”
  3. Mutton dum biryani Net −1
    “I tried their Mutton Dum Biryani. It was tasteless. It didn’t taste like Biryani at all. Felt like previous day’s leftover coloured/flavoured rice, heated and served with mutton pieces.”
  4. Salan Net −1
    “The salan didn't taste like salan altogether.”
  5. Veg kebab platter Net −1
    “Ordered kadak chai and veg kebab platter. Very bland is taste. Chai was just milk with hint of tea. It was so light had to ask anthem change it. Minimum 20mins wait to get the food still doesn’t taste fresh. Super expensive for very basic food.”

The Bottom Line

Sharief Bhai Biryani brings Bangalore-style Dakhni food to Burjuman Mall in Al Mankhool. The main draw is the biryani: reviews mention the Special Hyderabadi Mutton Dum Biryani, Chicken 65 Biryani and chicken and mutton versions. The menu also gives you less familiar choices such as Patthar ka Gosht and Dahi ke kebabs.

The strongest visits describe fragrant, well-spiced rice, tender meat, generous portions and warm service. Other diners have found the biryani bland, the rice disappointing or the meat dry, so consistency is the main caveat. Spice levels can reportedly be adjusted, useful if you prefer milder food.

Location is straightforward for public transport: one review places the restaurant just outside Burjuman Metro Station. Dine-in looks like the safer choice than online ordering, after a customer reported receiving food that did not match the order. Allow extra time as well; reviews mention waits of 20 to 30 minutes, even when the restaurant was quiet.

A reported AED 29 thali was considered solid value, while other diners questioned portions and value on biryani orders.
