Biryaniwala Evington in Leicester

This is the best biryani i have ever had in my life.The Taste was too good.

Best dum biryani ever, and good service.

Excellent food and service. Nice people.

Very good lamb , the taste is really awesome

The shop is in a good location. There are enough sitting spaces in the store. I got no clue about the parking but no wheelchair accessibility available for the customers. Customer service is not top notch but preferable for the location. The food quality is not so bad based on the price. Quantity is nice and they need to improve the taste of the biryani and the sauce they give with biryani. The decoration is also impressive. The one and only problem is their payment system. They always prefer cash only. A very less people carry cash nowadays and there is no cash machine nearby. It makes a bit uncomfortable for the customer during payment. I wish to give them 5 ⭐ but considering these issues I can’t. I hope they will improve the service and more importantly the payment system. Hope for the best.

Food is our Rizaq,we sometimes moan about 'not enough loon mirch" or ' seekh kebabs too dry"....but forget there are millions without even the 'loon' never mind anything to put it on. Anyhow I visited today with my family.Food,service,prices,everything excellent.How do they do that portion of Chicken Biriyani for £3.99?? Tea £1.Excellent value for money.

Delicious food and very quick and specially amazing customer service by staff the ordered lamb biryani and chicken biryani was delicious and very tasty.

The worst Biryani I've ever tasted

Chicken briyani & chana was very Tasty Yummy 😋

Must try Chinese here smell and taste is super good and service is super

Biriyaniwala delivers the best biryani I’ve ever had! The spices are perfectly balanced, and the flavors are rich and authentic. Their quality and freshness make every bite unforgettable. Highly recommended! Their customer service is outstanding—warm, attentive and quick to make you feel at home. Highly recommend for an unforgettable biryani experience!

Alhamdulillah the taste of this biryani is just wow🤤I am really satisfied with it. It’s just mouthwatering.

you have to try the Tandoori chivken absolutely 😋 delicious. Also the evington branch has two lovely friendly workers. Great customer service !

Best biryani ever I had👌. Great service🥰. Highly recommended 👍

Very welcoming people and I loved their lamb biyani and chicken 65...will deffo go back there:)

Brilliant biryani, amazing karak chai and scrumptious naan. Staff is wonderful and very accomodating. Price tag makes you feel you have gone a decade back in time (its proper pocket friendly)

Chicken Biriyani is absolutely delicious! Very kind people, excellent customer service and the atmosphere in store is very warm and welcoming. May The Most High bless them and reward them goodness

I'm very disappointed about chicken biriani. I wasted my money. You have to improve you food quality. I was very angry when I ate the food because of that I was very hungry.

Best biryani ever I had🥰 Highly recommended if you like best food around Leicester

Staff is super friendly Food is delicious

Very Good biryani and Curry. Love it.

What a great place and a friendly staff always serving with the smile.really appreciate Thier hardwork

Worst service ever, I have places a order over phone asked me to come after 30 mts which I did after reaching the place and they asked me to wait for 20 mts which I did and I asked me to wait other 20 mts again and the staff is not even apologetic for the delay Overall the service was very bad Food not that great Not worth of waiting for 70 mts for biryani definitely will not recommend it try other places.

It's a small place I recommend only takeaway because there is no washroom and they accept only cash payment. By the price of food, it's ok

They automatically heated my food which I wanted to eat later.... Also cash only .... hate that

Fair amount of lamb but the flavour wasn't the best and the rice smelt off, like a few days old. Don't think I will eat here again, was my first and last time. Thanks but no thanks

You guys got to try the chicken biryani. Just loved it.

Very tasty chicken Biryani made in Hyderabad style. And chicken 65 and chilly chicken were tasty. Costs increasing though.

Delicious chicken and tandoori chicken legs. Very good value for money and good portions. A good selection of soft drinks, everything is affordable and tasty. The service was very welcoming and friendly. Not to forget the karak chai for only £1, the best chai in Leicester

The worst and pathetic briyani for 4 pounds.colourful rice with 2 chicken pieces. Absolutely pathetic . Will never buy again.

Food was ok for that money That girl who is working here since long time she also show faces customer and rude anytime whenever we order biryani ,I never see she happy in working and she always there I don’t know why ,kindly please I am requesting owner to giver her job in Atleast inside cooking area we don’t want see bad service from you guys thanks

Best service and you will found best biryani to be served all over the uk 🇬🇧

I’ve visited Biryani wala yesterday, I’ve ordered many times from online but yesterday for the first time I went with my friend around 10pm, the ladies were very rude and arrogant and told dine-in was closed at 9:30 PM, then we said ok and ordered for the take away. With in 5 min 4 Guys came and ordered the same, I donno why she allowed the guys for the dine-in, we didn’t even left from the restaurant and they were ordering. I felt very bad and was about to argue , but I don’t want to make an issue infront of the customers and left silently. Such a behaviour is not at all acceptable, I want the manager to check the recordings and just ask the girls why she didn’t allowed us to dine-in.

Biryani with so much oil. Their Melton road restaurant is good compared to the Evington road branch.

Yesterday I dined at Biryaniwala Evington Road branch Restaurant and had a mixed experience. The food was undeniably good, offering a delightful blend of flavors that truly satisfied my taste buds. Additionally, the service was commendable. The girls serving me did so with a warm and friendly smile, enhancing the overall dining experience. However, my enjoyment was somewhat marred by an incident during lunch. I heard a man from the kitchen talking loudly and screaming at the girls who were serving. This was quite disruptive and detracted from the otherwise pleasant atmosphere. While the quality of the food and the kindness of the waitstaff were highlights, the loud and aggressive behaviour from the kitchen staff needs to be addressed to ensure a fully enjoyable experience for all patrons.

Worst biryani The quality of food is degrading day by day ,Previously, some months back the food was excellent, especially the Biriyani was very good. But now The taste of biryani Is really worst Chicken is Overcooked, you can see this in the picture It really feels very cheap food, Staff are also Very unkind And they are not really happy to serve customers. The curd Raita given with this Is nothing but water Qualities is really going down I don’t know what happened. Maybe cheff got changed. I suggest Owners to keep an eye on improving quality And staff needs to be changed immediately Not at all recommendable It’s all oily And not possible to eat Don’t waste your time on money here

Food was fantastic, service was awesome. Ayesha was just brilliant, serving with a smile!

Very nice place, the portions are very big and love their biryani

Too good a biryani the taste of biryani was awesome which was spicy too... I just tried lamb biryani but I actually wana try chicken biryani too and hope to have the same level of spice and a different taste.

The food was fantastic, affordable and the staff was very polite and welcoming.

Staff really need to train up on customer service. More interested in having personal Conversations rather than serving customers.

my order is not delivered and no response

Can't go wrong for the price. Would recommend 💯

Amazing desi food. Biriyani was perfect.

I only ever take away, biriyani is excellent esp for the price. You can ask for level of spice by asking for more or less of the masala part of rice

This has been an excellent option for tasty authentic hyderabadi Biryani at a very reasonable price and tasty curries. I get takeaways from here.

I am from hyderabad and Biryani was so yummy same taste like hyderabadi biryani. The staff (Safura) was so kind and polite.

The food was delicious I absolutely loved it. The staff were very friendly specially Safura and Safira. They were lovely and made us choose the right food which hit the taste buds. I absolutely loved the food and I haven’t had this type of food with brilliant taste … keep up the good work !! Highly recommend!! ❤️

Niice staff enjoyed Hyderabadibehaviour kirakk

Really awesome atmosphere nice staff friendly

Lovely food great customer service thankyew staff good girls

The food is really awesome and the staff are very hospitable. Feels like our own 😃😃hyderabad biryani.

This place is a hidden gem! With a massive portion of Zafrani Chicken Biryani that was enough for both me & my hungry child! for only £4! Without compromising on taste! I always go here now for my quick Biryani Fix! Delicious. Fast & clean service too. With friendly staff. Highly recommended 👌

I bought one veg and one paneer Biryani's where both were not cooked properly I could see more water content in those Biryani's, and I have said the staff not to add masala because I was about to feed it to my kid, even though they have added more masala content into biryani it happend more time to me but I was ignoring those times because it was cooked properly, and coming to the services I was standing with my kid near the till to make the payment even though the front staff was not even bothered and was busy in phone call. This is the worst experience. I don't recommend Biryaniwala evington rd anymore.

Ordered through deliveroo, not only did the driver complain that he had to drive 4.2 miles to get to us. But 1 out of the 6 dishes were edible. The other 5 were beyond spicy (and I'm someone who can handle spice and adds chilli sauce to everything). I took one bite and I was sweating within seconds.. imagine we had a child with us sharing our food. Had you have given the option to CHOOSE YOUR SPICE LEVELS this wouldn't have happened! I've rang the Evington Road branch and I've been told mubaraq who is the manager was away eating iftaar and he would call me within half an hour. Second call was made an hour later and I was told he can't be contacted and they're trying get in touch with him.. third call.... they've just declined my call. All I've asked for is a refund for the 5 dishes and they're more than welcome to pick the food up because it hasn't been eaten. I've just essentially paid £40 for 1 biryani. Money definitely doesn't grow on trees and this is robbery. The restaurant closes in 40 minutes and still no phone call has been made from mubaraq, great business owner /manager /what ever he calls himself. Whoever was managing the phonelines at the Evington Road branch you need to be sacked or at least retrained. You did not let me explain what was going on, tried to be intimidating, tried raising your voice at me and it won't shift. Your customer service skills, on a scale of 1-10? -10.. Il be making a trip down to the restaurant tomorrow with my food considering no one has taken the time nor care to contact me back, offer replacement and il be speaking to mubarak face to face. You can't own a business and hide from your customers when you make a mistake. Ridiculous. Update:- 20 minutes before they close mubarak rings me on WhatsApp.. confirms thats how they cook food in a certain part of India but then giggles when I've made a statement that I've just paid £40 for a biryani.. he's agreed to a refund which I've been told will take a week to process. Surely not if you've asked for my account number and sort code but if you need a week then fine. He refused to take the food back and also agreed this food is too spicy for children to eat. He then gave me some advice that on my next order to any restaurant that we leave motes on how spicy we would like the food. I also gave mubraka some advice advising how they need to be options on their menu on how spicy customers would like their food. So far so good, mubrak has agreed to the refund and I've agreed to pay for the one thing we did manage to eat. Let's see if this refund comes through Update 17-04-2024 So after being told to wait 7 days, still no refund. This place is beyond a joke. Daylight robbery. Mubarak has also confirmed he is NOT the manager and now my complaint has been put forwarded to his boss. I have 0 faith that this has moved forward, considering he thought screenshotting my review and sending it to me would affect me and get me to delete this review.. not a chance. As I said to mubarak, reviews are for people to tell the truth about an establishment and their experience and I'm telling mine. Update may 2024. As expected they've brushed it under the carpet and no response from anyone..I've lost energy to chase these people. I would not recommend going here at all..

There is one staff she looks little fat and fair girl. she is very rude to customer's i have noticed her plenty of time. Actually idk her name bute there were two girls one's name is shafira she is fine Posting date : 18/05/24 Time : 10:13

Very nice staff lovely friendly

Nice staff nice service thank you team for giiving nice service

The 2 girls working on the front are the most rudest staff I've ever come across.... No customer service whatsoever they make you feel like you are some idiot walking in

"This dish is absolutely delicious! The flavors are so well-balanced, and the staff were wonderful and helpful."

Food: My expectations were high from a biryani specialist but unfortunately flavours weren't coming through, lamb meat was overcooked, tough to eat and a little dry. Service: We were not greeted with a warm welcome, staff didn't look happy to deal with us. Atmosphere: There were two other diners in the seating area, both looked very unhappy. Sadly this this outlet did not deliver on any accounts. There are many food places on Evington Rd, if the basics such as service can't be improved upon then diners will go elsewhere, especially if the food doesn't meet expectations. I try to find some positives though, the shop looked clean and the layout was well presented. I do try places at least twice in case the above experience is a one off, but we will see.

I would like to go again and again very polite staff nice serve the lady whitish she is making me laugh.And I enjoyed there I went from Northampton to eat

"My recent experience at Biryaniwala on Rivington Road was nothing short of exceptional. The moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and outstanding assistance from the staff. The food, especially their signature biryanis, was not only incredibly flavorful but also served piping hot, delighting our taste buds with every bite. The staff members were attentive and accommodating, adding to the overall charm of the dining experience. For anyone craving delicious biryanis and impeccable service, Biryaniwala on Rivington Road is definitely the place to go.

Biryani was nice 👍 Haleem was also ok.. 👍 Kheer and Paya were both atrocious.. Seriously never eaten such kherr and paya anywhere in the world in my entire life

First time leaving an honest review because I think they really deserve a lovely review for such amazing service! I mean the recent 5 star reviews with one review history speaks volumes. Seems like they are trying to do damage control by trying to bump up the reviews but if you read through, everyone is repeatedly saying the same thing. Here’s my 2 pence. The service was absolutely appalling! The lady behind the till looks like she is forced to be there and no efforts to make an interaction. The food was filled with a thousand cardamoms, mustard and what not so the food was literally inedible. Everyone has their own cooking style and taste but you’re having a laugh if you thought you will eat a Hyderabadi style biryani. I think they should start focussing on improving their customer service and the quality of the food rather than creating fake accounts to leave 5 star reviews. It would be cool to have a good biryani place in Leicester. This place has potential and surprisingly, there are some customers who like their food! They should at least try to improve and take the constructive criticism for the sake of their business. Anyways, I won’t be coming again after that experience thank you very much!

Very good Food , we used to come everytime and the staff is spottif very nice serve 😀

We had 2 din ka murgh and biryani yesterday taste was not up to mark, my family is suffring from upset stomach. Poor quality.

Nice service, food taste was superb

Good biryani special zafrani chicken biryani

Excellent services with hospitality

Food is too good but service no good

Worst experience with that nose pin girl, She don't respect customers, I don't know is she an employee or owner, My humble suggestion to the owner is if you don't want to loose customers? Simply replace your staff especially that nose pin girl wearing hijab

Great food, great service. Well done guys

did not receive food taken money

We always pass this shop and have wanted to try it. So last week we ordered one chicken biryani and tried it. It was really tasty and the portion was good. The lady and man in the counter were both very pleasent. I would definetly recommend this restaurant.

Situated in the heart of Evington Road, Biryaniwala has gained popularity among the locals. As I was there for approximately 20-25 mins but I have seen a good flow of customers coming to shop which speak itself for its local recognition. As name says, biryaniwala, so 1st thing I want to try was biryani, so I ordered a chicken biryani from here, and I was amazed taste was delicious and price compared to all is way more cheaper. As I was waiting I noticed 1 thing that, they were asking each customer that how they want their biryani, spicy, medium or non spicy but he was giving it from the same container which I was wondering how, that is mystery which I will solve soon when they will be not much busy (will keep you posted). I also tried their drumsticks again very good taste, I am not 100% sure but I found that it was mix of fresh of the day and of previous day cannot be 100% accurate in that but that's what I feel like. Lollipops were good taste, gulaab jamun were mouth watering. Overall, except for drumsticks, everything was up to the par. Service is very prompt as everything is pre-cooked, so filling container and catering is on fast gear here. Ambience, I don't find it very attractive it is average, and a very small sitting area consists of only 3 tables. Being fast food area, I will not expect much, but the menu served here requires ample space as these foods are always enjoyed directly from the pot rather than taking home and heating it. My overall experience at biryaniwala was not bad. the taste of food will take me to this place again and again. The most important thing is that this place is "CASH ONLY," so keep cash if you wanna order something from the place.

I tried chicken biryani, but it was too cold. It didn’t taste or look like a fresh biryani very disappointed and the review is which a customer should taste and write about it, but this is different here. I’m shocked that the staff force you to give them five star, but I don’t think all the five star reviews in the review section are genuine. It’s better to try Briyani in melton road branch the food and staff are good over there.

Great restaurant with great service and quality of food. The staff (Safura & Safeera) are really nice and welcoming. Overall, the food is good with a good pinch of taste from Hyderabad.

Great service and amazing food! Indeed an authentic rendition of the Hyderabadi Biryani. Safeera and Safoora are total legends!

Haleem taste has to be improved more!! Not at all Satisfying

Lamb biryani tasted and smelled stale. Couldn't eat it at all. Wouldn't order again. Disappointing first time order. Wouldn't be ordering again.

If you put your name as your food offering it better be good. Biryaniwala doesn’t disappoint. Great fresh biryani, good portion size, very decent prices.

Well ordered 4 naan, 3 tandoori chicken, and a lamb curry to takeaway. The man charged us £21. I quickly calculated and said to this man that's its not £21 but £ 19. Then he said he had put 4 tandoori chicken instead or 3 that I ordered.. ok well £21 he got. When we walked to car we looked into to the back and counted 3 tandoori chicken and went back in. This man apologised and gave us another but then we noted that the tandoori chicken didn't look to well (black). We demanded 4 others and gave him the burned ones back. Well so he did as he was ashamed in front of other customers that he gave us 3 and not 4. When we arrived home we had this meal and the curry had not 3 chunks of meat bit 3 chunks of bone with no meat. The naan was hard and basicly a waste of money and a 1st and last time for us to visit this place.

Too spicy . had to throw in bin .

Had a wonderful experience. Chicken biriyani must try💯🔥

We came as a group of 6 people and spent 42 pounds it's really good must try.

Amazing Nihari and great staff.

Today I visited this place for the first time as I always pass it and wanted to try it. Who doesn't love biryani eh! I bought the lamb biryani and 1 chicken biryani. Fresh batch out of the pan, so it looked very promising. UNTIL I came home and I tried. All I can say is, that the rice was hard and undercooked, lamb was really hard and chewy. So therefore i would not recommend getting biryani from here. Unfortunately my excitement changed into disappointment.

I got the chicken biryani, which was lovely as it had a good sense of spice. I was absolutely stuffed with the portions they gave you at the restaurant. I must say I am not from Leicester, but they were very welcoming. I would recommend going there.

Good food fantastic prices top quality fresh biryani clean environment

Yesterday i order mutton curry mughlai lamb roghan gosht and got 3flesh and 4bones out of 7 pieces. And dish is also not tasty

I’ve ordered one chicken biryani. Everything was okay until today. I’ve got food poisoning. It’s a very bad situation to be in.

Service was good and food was nice 👍

I took one lamb biryani and one chicken and overall the food was good but not warm at all. The main thing was that the receptionist was not talking friendly .it seemed rude.

5 star place , great food, great service, great prices.Mashallah

The biryani was fantastic, the service was first class. Highly recommend.

Best chicken biryani in Leicester ❤️

Hospitality from Irfan khan Bhai the Mandi was brilliant hyderabadi biryani beautiful

The food very good and the staff was very helpful

Below avg taste, staff is too unprofessional and very rude with customers.. I think owner should check on this..
