What to Eat at TAZA Biryani & Grills – Chennai Style Biryani How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For TAZA Biryani & Grills – Chennai Style Biryani, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try beef. Order the beef biryani if available; reviewers particularly praise its tender meat and Chennai-style rice.
Share carefully. Ask about the serving size before ordering biryani, as one diner found the large hotpot smaller than expected.
Call ahead. For weekend family visits, check seating availability first because the seating area has been described as limited.
Allow time. Build in extra time for service and billing; one review describes a five-minute wait just to complete the bill.
Check order. Confirm the biryani and sides when served, since a reviewer received mutton instead of beef and missed a listed accompaniment.
Try dum tea. Leave room for dum tea, which one reviewer specifically called a must-try after mentioning the biryani.

Waitlist issues
One party waited over an hour without receiving the promised call and saw later arrivals seated first.
Room upkeep
Some reviewers found the ambience dated, with weak air conditioning and slightly unkept tables and chairs.

The Bottom Line
TAZA Biryani & Grills is a Chennai-style biryani and grill restaurant in International City, with a menu that also includes Delhi-inspired dishes. The clearest draws are beef biryani, mutton biryani, Chicken 65 and Aslam Butter Chicken with Rumali Roti. Reviewers describe the biryani rice as fluffy, aromatic and well-spiced, while the chicken is often praised for being tender and creamy.
There is good evidence that the restaurant can handle group orders: one customer reported 150 chicken biryani meals with consistent quality, and another enjoyed a 10kg majlis set for Eid. Families may appreciate that the food is described as normally spicy and kid-friendly. Dum tea, brinjal curry and gulab jamun also receive individual mentions.
The experience is not completely consistent. Several diners praise friendly, quick service, but others report slow dishes, billing delays and a poorly managed waitlist. Parking is scarce, weekend seating can be limited, and one visit found weak AC and unkept tables.
Prices are disputed: one review calls them affordable, while another says standard chicken and mutton biryani costs 20–30 AED and feels expensive for the portion. Check availability, portions and your order before settling in, especially for a busy family visit or large takeaway.
