I am a regular customer here...as always best food,best customer service and staff...recommended to everyone.

The briyani is top notch and customer service by the beautiful ladies behind the counter Bhumi, Shaista and Romana is excellent 👍👏

Super service by Romana, all staff wonderful

Great place to eat and food prices are very reasonable

Super service and absolutely delicious biryaniwala, a gorgeous little place 😍 😋

Hey I bought food Saturday afternoon date 12/10/24 Food was worst Service was worst No taste feels like I eat 2days leftover I bought leg piece and it was like worst and worst thing is I didn’t even finish the food and had throw in bin ( no staff discipline ) Note to owner - please teach your staff discipline and teach about food safety as well) WORST PLACE TO EAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Desserts had Fungus on it. Won’t recommend

Brilliant food.fresh made biryani.take away food.

The food is not good at all, i ordered four box of biriyanis and it was just rice with lots of of oil with three pieces of meat

Top quality biryani! Highly recommended!

Loved the chicken zaffrani biriani

food was cold on arrival, called to ask why this was and was told it was made in the morning and microwaved to heat up. lamb curry was watery like soup with only 4 pieces inside. do not buy

I have not received my order yet!

Good tasted awful. Threw the chicken curry away as it smelled. The paneer was tasteless

One of the best biriyani I had in UK Absolutely loved the experiance The staff was very nice and food was good in quantity and quality. Would definitely recommend it.

my parents were very excited to try a biryani place in the town and they asked for recommendations but the girl on the till was rude and vague and did not acknowledge or talk at all. this left us with a negative impression initially but we brushed it off. they ended up choosing whatever looked good on menu and said to leave a good review as the biriyani, the chicken lollipop and tandoori chicken was not bad. however, my brother and i disagree. the taste was no comment but the tandoori chicken was so tiny. 😂 i wish i got a picture. i get that it is up on the menu good value but it honestly looked like a pigeon leg and barely any meat to the bone. i’d rather pay more for some good meat. the biryani was bombarded with mustard seeds and cardamom which overpowered the actual taste of “hyderabadi” biryani. after every bite, there would be a crunch. they should rename it garam masala pulao…🤣 anyways, for someone who is a foodie, loves indian food and not a picky eater, this was honestly a disappointment. unfortunately, we won’t be coming back. my dad expressed how awkward and unwelcomed they felt and maybe it’s just not our taste but the customer service really put us off from trying again. edit: i noticed another review mentioned the same thing about the lady on the till… :/ please give your staff the training required or how to treat customers because this is such a let down. wishing the owner and the chef the very best.

I ordered Vegetable dum biryani and Chicken dum Biryani (for almost 30+ people)for a house party and I was extremely disappointed. The food was terrible. The food smells/tasted very bad, as it was made with poor quality ingredients. I opened it within 2hrs after reaching home. Please taste before you collect food, and if you are going to order large quantity for parties I don't recommend to order food with Biryaniwala. These people only accept cash and they don't accept bank transfer(to easily escape if they deliver poor quality food). And when I called and complained about the food there behaviour is very rude.

Biryani have no consistency. Some time delicious aome time not.

I have scheduled my delivery at 9:30 pm as all guests were waiting for food it was very late than expected

It's the best place for enjoying Hyderabadi-style biryani. Whenever we visit Leicester, it's our go-to spot for lunch.

I recently ordered chicken biryani. Chicken was undercooked and too juicy, which made it unsafe to eat.

The I payed 6 quid for a chicken tikka masala on the bone and got only 2 of the smallest, bony pieces it’s actually ridicules won’t be ordering from this place again absolute rip off

Sometimes hit and miss but mostly amazing and tasty on Friday the lamb biriyani was absolutely beautiful and tasty melting meat. Perfect excellent prices though I’m assuming msg is used cos it’s soo addictive and yummy

We ordered it for a birthday eve from Coventry, 10 non veg and 3 veg for 52 pounds ,it’s absolutely delicious .

The biryani is good for the price. Taste is not amazing but it is fine.

I would recommend this place for trying chicken and lamb biriyani. it is not the top notch one, but quality and quantity is guaranteed. Worth try once in a while for those who seeking a new biriyani corner. Will definitely try the mutton paya and haleem 🔜. NB: Recently ordered the mutton and chicken biriyani. Unfortunately both biriyani bottom layer comes with full of oil. 🙁😕

biryani was goodhad taken away and considering me belonging to biryani headquarters of world, it isn't easy for me to praise any halfway good biryani.

First time order. Delicious thanks 👌

I would especially appreciate hijab girl who is short she always allow customer with smiling gesture and bhoomi as well cheers guys next time ill definitely try to visit it again

The service is not good at all I was in the q and they was serving the people behind me and when I told them i was in the q they was like it will only be 2 mins and started serving the person behind me which did not make me happy at all had to leave the store I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone the staff are too rudeeeee. And the food will give you stomach next morning

Food was lovely and tasty, just like homemade biryani Very busy shop Very reasonable priced

Great service...Biryani was perfect served by Shaba. appreciate...swad aa gaya

We had 4 very good Byrianis, All the family enjoyed the food. Served fresh and hot, good choice if you are in Leicester.

The food is absolutely amazing, and for £3.99 a portion of chicken biriyani is incredibly cheap and so filling. When I'm in Leicester again, I will definitely be going back.

Visited the shop today as it was our first time here ..decided to eat in ordered tandoori chicken and Nan bread .. the assistant put the chicken in the microwave and then the Nan bread Gave us the food .. chicken was Luke warm and dry And the Nan bread was like a”crispy popadom.”. could not chew the bread at all complained about the food and got £1 back for the bread .. will not visit here again

This is my second visit, and the experience was even worse this time. The food tasted terrible. While dining in Leicester, I noticed a British family at the next table. They were visibly struggling with the spiciness of their meal and seemed very unhappy. It’s clear that you don’t consider the spice tolerance of your customers. I doubt they’ll ever come back to this restaurant. It’s important to prioritize your customers’ preferences over profit. Please consider hiring more attentive and understanding staff for the dining floor to better meet customer needs.

May be I ordered oil other than biryani think 🤔 so

Cheap price biryani. Not much good but sometimes okay.

Portions were too small for the money, disappointed tbh.

Tasty fresh authentic biryani at a great price.

The Biryani and chicken tikka was soo good !! 😋😋😋I was soo happy with the taste , price and quantity .

Generaly, If you manage to tie it write when there's a fresh pot of Biryani, it's the best. But today was the bottom bits of the pot which was overly greasy and the chicken was shredded. The chicken curry wasn't much better as it seem to have a taste of vinegar, whihc didn't work for me. Must have been my tenth visit so previously really great biryani.

Like the best biryani I have had in a long time. Always served hot and fresh. The prices are extremely reasonable. A must go to place in Leicester for biryani. They even do a selection of curries etc which are good as well but the biryani is the go to dish.

Been ordering chicken biryani from this places for so long due to there consistency of taste, quantity and quality but this time it was too dry and too sticky also have ordered orange Fanta and they decided to send some random drink (guess no one checked the order, and put what ever drink)

We came for the first time to have food in biryani wala. ordered 2 chicken biryani, chicken 65 starter and Haleem Worst biryani and starter I had in my life worst taste and pungent smell in entire Leicester City. We didn’t have the food and left the food and came outside. We have said on the face the biryani was very bad and they are asking to pay total 20 pounds. Don’t have card payment to pay. Guys if you have opened the shop just you make money then there are several other ways,, dont rob people of their hard earned money give fooling them by serving worst and spoiled food. We left the food on the table. Please check images.

If I had an option I would opt for 0 rating.. the customer service is too bad and the food which was served was rotten.. chicken 65 has too much chat masala.. when we informed the receptionist that the food wasn’t good, she informed that it’s the most yummiest food.. I had the worst experience ever..

It’s not original Hyderbadi dum biryani

This is a disgusting place. They serve old biryani mostly and make customers wait on the name of new biryani. The lady serving biryani here is very rude and pathetic. They are literally fooling people by mixing old food in almost all online orders and also people waiting in queue for takeaway are served by mixing most old biryani rice with new masala. Even if we ask them to serve freshly made one, they seriously don’t serve that for customers who are waiting from long time. Their service is completely deteriorated from previous years. Staff doesn’t have minimum common sense despite of customers telling to serve fresh food when we are paying our hard earned money. Buy from this place only if it is fresh. It’s always stale food mostly. I am writing this review after seeing their bad service for many times. Most of the times I just ignored writing a review inspite of me having bad experience almost every time . It doesn’t matter even if they don’t care reviews but their service is worst.

Place order over the phone at 07:25pm they give me collection time 08:00pm, went to collect they make me wait another 45mints very unprofessional customer service, inexperienced staff.

Best ever indian food , I highly recommend.

the portion of haleem has halved.. it is way too expensive for this much. £8.95 for so little!

Food is flavorful. Would definitely eat from there again. Value for money.

Hi sorry to i have never been in this shop .

It was average. Ordered Hyderabadi chicken.

Nice place for Hyderabad biryani, they have added eating in so please try

REASONABLE PRICES FRIENDLY STAFFS NICE APPEARANCE

Absolute favourite Can never go wrong with the biryani The best place to have biryani in Leicester I wouldn't recommend trying the appetizers but biryani is delicious!

The food was super tasty. Nice and clean shop. Not that expensive to buy food.

Entered restaurant for the name 'Hyderabadi Dhum Briyani' on board, rice is not even boiled. No chicken pieces. People are good and ok pricing.

One of the best places where you can have a tasty biryani....

Don’t come to this place if you are a Biriyani lover . Worst Place in Leicester.

Eating Biryani kali Hyderabad ka yaad aajana 🫶🏻

Best place for Fresh and delicious Briyani.

The oil is really bad in lamb biryani. Biryani itself is fine. Masalaas are very dark and strong.

Value for money 💰 excellent service and taste. Highly recommended.

Thought I would try this place. I had the chicken biryani a chicken shish and a couple off pakoras to take out. The meal was very tasty on the hot chilli 🌶 side. Only cash payment's

The chicken was not cooked… very disappointed…the malai tikka we ordered was not cooked at all

After aten I got stomach problems chicken is biryani was very old

The chicken and Lamb biryani was brilliant.

Loved the food Really tasty Byriani Lovely lady...very helpful Brilliant price

Biriyani with a different taste from my previous eating experience. Quantity and Quality is good with reasonable price. Recommended …👍

I had chicken biryani from here. It was amazing. The chicken slipped off the bone and melted in my mouth. Could give a bit more raita though. The place has had a refurb too and looks good. Highly recommended

Absolute Rubbish food too spicy not fit for purpose .

It’s very nice food. I like so much, After eating the food I felt compelled to send you a review and write you some kind words so I'm happy if you prepare such food just add a little more thanks. 👍😜

Good tast & quantity but not good quality

Guys if you have opened the shop just yo make money then there are several other ways,, dont rob people of their hard earned money give fooling them that your actually selling what you advertise.. Bought 2 huge portions of supposedly lamb biryani,, open the pot,, what looked like 2 different kinds of left over rice put togather... The masala or any flavouring completly missing,, or non existent,, tasted foul and stale like old gone off rice... Why would you do that...

How can you send rotten food ? It literally went bad long ago and you still send it because it’s an online order. What’s wrong with you? Don’t you have any ethics? Is playing with lives a business these days?

Been there 4 times, ordered 4 times and can say that the taste varies everytime. It's been worst during last visit.

The biryani is really tasty. However, me and my friend got some uncooked chicken pieces. The chicken was not fully cooked in some areas.

Food was very tasty and the prices were reasonable. Good for take out as the seating area is not spacious and lacks basic amenities. Highly recommended for delicious Indian non-veg food.

One of best biryani places in leicester

This Bryani 🍚 place on Melton Road 🛣️ is now changed & it’s probably the best place to eat there or takeaway! Absolutely superb quality Bryani! Most of them are now ladies who serve, cook look after! Very hygienic! I saw two ladies with headscarves 🧕🏼🧕🏽were wearing gloves 🧤which indicates, it’s now going to be my favourite place to get takeaways! I tried the Chicken Bryani & two pieces of chicken, I cannot wait to try other food 🍲 on their menu.

Quality and Service has deteriorated significantly. Ordered Chicken Biryani late in the evening in person at this location. Could see the female serving from two different biryani containers. Initially thought both were chicken biryani containers that they were serving and one might have had rice emptied, so was okay at that point. But instantly, when we opened the takeaway at home, they had mixed Lamb Biryani rice with Chicken Biryani. And we don't eat Lamb at all. This was a disaster and had to throw this away in the bin. Message to the employees and management - You cannot serve anything else than what has been asked for just because you want to get rid of something, people here have ALLERGIES and dietary complications here . there is a very good chance if this is taken to the authorities you can be in big trouble.

Excellent and authentic lndian food. A must try and taste when in Leicester.

I was having my car serviced in a garage in the vicinity and decided to go for a walk in the local area. Garage staff recommended a few places for good food. Decided to try Biryaniwala and chose both lamb and chicken and treated the garage staff to some tasty food. Will visit again to try the other menu choice.

Amazingly authentic Indian taste. A must visit. A great place to dine in but better if you are taking it away as the place is small but enough for two families. We went to Liecester from Northampton only to experience Indian culture and food which was totally worth it. I had biryani in London & Curry miles in Manchester but felt like having coloured rice and chicken. Biryaniwala’s biryani felt like having it in one of the best eateries in Hyd. Chicken 65, chilly and roasted- All top notch in taste quality and portion.

Must try biryani and chicken tandoor both are amazing.

no lamb in the biryani only bones with less meat. we are eating plain biryani rice

I have no words, it's simply devine. Dal tadka, rogan josh, biryani and chicken curry are outstanding, also the kebabs are made in heaven. Addendum: soon there will be dine in also. Update on 14.1.2024.... Food quality and taste have deteriorated significantly. They serve food in plastic containers, which is pathetic. They have increased the prices now. Not worth visiting now.

Cheap and best. Only con is they dont allow online payments and only cash is allowed for payments.

It's kind of over rated to be honest.

Good place to try if craving biryani

Worst Indian food i ate ever in uk.

i bought lamb biriyani but it was like mixed rice with lamb curry no biriyani flavours at all.. i tried after long time but im so disappointed.. it’s look like new management..

Freshly cooked sumptuous meal. Good biryani. Better than expensive restaurants. Very authentic Indian food

Quality is good and the best part is hygiene🔥🔥

It was take away.Ordered chicken biryani and taste was good. I won't say it is dum biryani or authentic but it's different. Worth tasting. Price is extremely economical. 4.5 pounds for chicken biryani. For such price the biryani provided is also satisfied. 👏

Do not go here if you are white they will push you to the back racism is real and it happens in here Been here 10+ times never had a issue from today they will never get a penny from me Racist people should be ashamed of yourselves

Excellent service by Aysha. Food was awesome.

Good experience and lovely food. But lots of oil with food. Which makes your throat bad
