Biryaniwala Evington in Leicester

Tasty food in affordable prices.

Loved the biryani !! "The Hyderabadi biryani here is already a treat, but with Liaqat's special touch, it becomes an unforgettable experience—flavourful, aromatic, and cooked to perfection.

Biryani Tastes very good, always welcoming staff😀liaquat was very approachable and made sure to prepare the biryani as per your taste buds and preference.

I recently visited biryaniwala Evington road and I must say, everything was absolutely up to the mark. The biryani was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and served fresh. The portion size was generous, and the price was surprisingly affordable for the quality offered. What stood out just as much as the food was the staff. They were polite, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout our visit. The service was quick and efficient, without feeling rushed. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re looking for delicious biryani that doesn’t break the bank. Highly recommended!

Best biryani I have tasted also my kids loves it sooo much Highly recommended

Delicious Biryani. Would highly recommend. Good service as well. One of the best Biryani in UK.

I eat to lamb briyani it's very tasty. I really like it. Thank you to chef

Great taste comes with affordable prices

1st time trying this place. It has mixs reviews but I really enjoyed our food. Didn't realise how huge there portions are. We ordered 2 chicken biryani and 1 paneer biryani. X2 huge pieces of chicken. Me and my daughter couldn't even finish 1 portions. Great value too. I collected my food. Thanks

We ordered 4 biryani from which 2 biryani were served at first it was good. Than 2 more biryani were served which were not cooked properly, we did complaint a guy and he said ‘Okay’ than we again asked him that it’s not cooked (chicken is raw) again he said ‘okay’ we got frustrated and asked him bro what is okay? It’s raw meat what can you do? And he is like okay returned it and wait for 25 minutes now. He was really very Rude. For hospitality this behaviour is like zero tolerance. He needs training on how to behave with customers. Thank you.

Very lovely staff and Fabulous food

We ordered lamb biryani tray for ten people, it was delicious with just the right ratios of rice, lamb, spice etc. The staff were lovely and helpful. Highly recommend.🫶🫶🫶🫶

Good please for biryani very nice trste full off teaste . But need more improvement in yougert souce it was 👎 enough for sink in ...

Delicious food, warm ambiance, and excellent service, must-visit spot, best staff Liyakat👌🏻

Average food - Ambiguous pricing models. Ordered biryanis and some tandoori portions. The biryanis were good but the tandooris looked like they were sun baked and very very dry. Like from a few days ago

If you love biryani there is no point in visiting anywhere else. Nothing special about the ambience but everything special about the flavours. Make sure you order a side of tandoori chicken you won't regret it.

Terrible Experience – Not Recommended Very disappointed with Biryani Wala on Evington Road, Leicester. The staff were rude and unprofessional. The menu mentioned naan, but when I asked, they said I had to bring it from outside – which makes no sense and caused a lot of inconvenience. I had to walk 0.5 miles just to get naan, leaving my 2-year-old child and pregnant wife waiting in the restaurant. When I returned, the food was cold. On top of that, they didn’t accept card or bank transfer and told me to go find an ATM to pay in cash. This is not the standard you expect from any decent restaurant. Most places treat walk-in customers with respect and provide proper service – unfortunately, that was not the case here. I won’t be coming back and I do not recommend this place to anyone.

We had a great experience over here. Really nice food and great customer service.

Ordered chana kadala and kadai paneer, kadai paneer was really bad, very oily and tasteless. Chanakadala contained chicken pieces which was not acceptable and this ordered for my vegetarian friend. Contacted the shop regarding this, they took it as an normal issue, and the lady took the phone was rude. Altogether very bad experience!!

Ordered lamb biryani recently there were only rice no lamb no masala never ordering from here again

chicken biryani was yummiest. The staff was really courteous.

Absolutely Disgusting – Never Again! I had a terrible experience with Biryaniwala and will never be ordering again. The biryani was drenched in oil, with oversized chunks of meat—some of which were burnt. There was no real flavour, just an overwhelming taste of oil. The chicken curry was just as bad, completely swimming in oil with no depth of flavour, only an overpowering taste of garam masala. We also ordered Chicken 65, and the smell was completely off—it seemed like the food had been sitting there for a while. I should have listened to my Mrs on this one! To make things worse, the staff’s attitude was terrible, like they were being forced to work. When I asked if the food was fresh, I got no response at all. To top it all off, we ended up with upset stomachs that night, which made the whole experience even worse. But the worst part? I actually saw one of the staff members standing in the kitchen area with his boxers showing, scratching his backside! As soon as he noticed I saw him, he quickly moved further inside the kitchen where I couldn’t see him anymore. Absolutely disgusting and completely unhygienic! And on top of everything, in such a busy location where every other place accepts card payments, these guys only take cash… Hmm, I wonder why. Feels shady. Avoid this place at all costs—awful food, terrible service, unhygienic staff, and suspicious business practices!

Great Biryani, but telephone ordered and no separate queue on collection so still had to wait 15 minutes for service as very busy and short staffed.

11th March 2025 bought Niahari, Haleem, Tandoori chicken one of the worst experience ever. Food tasted out dated. Had to throw away £25 in bin. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. False advertisement in the shop. Looks appetising only but nooo taste.

Worst biryani they say masala and serve oil

High Quality food really cheap like back in the day will definitely recommended

Really cheap and really very good food.

very yummy , must try biryani …. loved it

Great food, really pleased with service. Food is always fresh, my kids really love it. Highly recommend them.

I try Zafrani Chicken Biryani every week. It's delicious. Friendly staffs and well decorated dine in place make it an excellent experience.

I go there almost every week to have the Zafrani Chicken Biryani. I can describe my feelings by typing one word: heavenly! Chicken is perfectly cooked, juicy and tender, extra-long basmati rice and the fragrance of all the spices makes it so delicious that I can't stop eating. Friendly staffs and clean sitting area for dine in. I'll highly recommend who wants to taste authentic Biryani.

They’ve got the best biriyani nd kababs here . Must try nd friendly staffs

Amazing biryani friendly staff quick service if you want like home made biryani visit Biryaniwala.😇

Biryani lovers this is the place to eat perfect biryani. I’m a fan of LAMB biryani just so yummy. The Staff is very friendly and nice atmosphere

Staff is very good and humble, very tasty food

He was wearing a lungi in the kitchen and there were rats everywhere

Amazing place for biriyani, karak chai and other desi food. Reasonable price. Cash only. Full Halal.

Alhamdulillah I have tasted biryani , tandoori and chicken Manchurian and till today I have been satisfied and enjoyed the taste of biryani jazakallah

Amazing chicken biryani, best service and very bright atmosphere as well

Excellent 👌 dunya biryani hai fani khale biryani

Chicken biriani very poor taste

Great spot for biryani .. great value for money and good portion size.

Despite this place having the word "Biryani" in the name, this is by far the worst Biryani I have ever had. It tasted like they put bleach inside it or cooked it inside a pot filled with dish soap. The only time in my life where I have not finished a plate of Biryani.

The biryanis are so nice and banging. Definitely a must try. It’s all halal and good portions.

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

Excellent food and service. Nice people.

Best dum biryani ever, and good service.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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 💯

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.

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!! ❤️

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

Really awesome atmosphere nice staff friendly

Niice staff enjoyed Hyderabadibehaviour kirakk

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
