Faheems Hyderabadi Dum Biryani(Faheems Biryanis) in Leeds

If looking for The authentic Hyderabadi dum biryani taste in Leeds, then look no further than this place. Tried chicken biryani and it was spot on original taste of Hyderabad. Service is good and Faheem bhai is very helpful. Please note it is mainly a takeaway joint and might not be fully suitable as family dining set up.

Ordered some food for a takeaway, as I don’t live in Leeds , when I reached home , chicken Manchurian was absolutely rubbish , not even cooked properly, we had to throw it . When I called the owner he said his battery is dying and disconnect anytime . If some one is genuine he would have called me back and discuss my issue . I don’t know how this place got good reviews it seems all are fake . Guy who took the ordered gave chai as we ordered few items as a complimentary other than that no positives . Very bad customer service from the person who answered my call . My recommendation is don’t even think about ordering the food from here. Word of mouth will spread fast..

Best place to have real and authentic Hyderabadi Biryani and the staff is very humble and supportive especially the Faheem Bhai by himself is soo welcoming to everyone 😊 :))

Lamb Dum Biryani Chicken Dum Biryani The biryani was good enough for the price. The taste is very good.

The biriyani was tasty I would order that again however, paying £9 for a portion of shami kebabs and & £9 for a portion of seekh kebabs id expect them to be homemade not shop bought.

Wonderful food and service, really a very authentic Hyderabadi food, a must try place for everyone.

Amazing food, decent prices, quick service, very pleased Highly recommended

Very tasty food. Excellent service and authentic dishes. 3 of my friends dined inside. Service was friendly and staff were very polite.

If you ask biryani takeout they give you night packed if you ask for eating they give you fresh one, very bad never gone buy again. I told them once about the problem they compensated but recently went agin did the same.

Clean, affordable,tasty,authentic, and hot food you need .....GOTO this place. Unfortunately, I couldn't take any pic, but you guys definitely set the mark.

I just had Mandi chicken biryani which is full of authentic Indian Hyderabadi style. I love the flavor, texture and aroma of rice and chicken. I fully recommend Faheems Biryani.

Best biryani I have had in 31 years of my life. Definately recommend 5***

I came here to have lunch today with my mrs, and i can honestly say i am very impressed with the service they gave us. I asked for chai which i received 10 seconds later. We had chicken and lamb biryani which was full of flavour, nice and spicy just the way i like it.. very nice atmosphere and welcoming staff. Please don't even think twice to go here.. just go!!

Just now I visited this place with my husband,Tried the biryani and it was absolutely delicious! Perfectly spiced, aromatic rice with tender, flavorful meat—every bite was heavenly. The portion size was generous, and the service was quick and friendly. A must-visit for biryani lovers!

Best Biryani in Leeds quality of chicken is very nice inshaallah must try Faheems for sure

Tried the food for first time, not to my taste, tasted very bland and oily. Also very ran down looking inside.

I recently visited Faheems Biryani and had an impressive meal. I tried the Chicken Mandi, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Curry, and naan, and everything was spot-on. The Chicken Mand was perfectly seasoned and tender, while the Chicken Biryani boasted aromatic spices and a delightful mix of flavors. The Chicken Curry was rich and satisfying, and the naan was soft and ideal for soaking up every bit of the delicious curry. Overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience, and I’d highly recommend Faheems Biryani to anyone craving authentic, flavorful dishes.

Simply wonderful, not for a minute it felt like I was in the UK. I was in the streets of Hyderabad - the very same taste, same aromas and even the same texture of food. Together with the super nice n pleasant demeanor of the owner n his friends n family it was bliss. Will definitely come again :)

Excellent real Hyderabadi Byriani for all people. Clean and tidy place with very helpful staff.

I have been ordering food from Faheem Biryani for almost 2 years now and loved it. However, my experience has been terrible for last couple of times. 1. The quality and taste of the food has drastically deteriorated. 2. The food is stale and tasteless. It seems as if leftover food has been reheated and served to the customers. Today, I ordered 2 biryani, 1 chicken tangdi, 1 chicken seekh kebab and garlic coriander naan. Biryani - stale and tasteless (Definitely it's at least a day old biryani) Chicken tangdi - Again stale and undercooked. The marination tastes raw. Seekh Kebab - absolutely stale, chew like rubber and extremely dry Naan - stale and very hard absolutely inedible. Faheem is a great guy and I am writing this review so that he open his eyes and address these issue. Please maintain the quality and taste, otherwise this restaurant won't survive for long.

The most authentic Hyderabadi Biryani you’ll find in UK! Fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked together, took me back to India in ten minutes (and ten pounds!) ;)

Good food and well served on time.

One of the best and affordable place in Leeds. Good quality and quantity! Worth every single penny. Must try spot. Try to go directly instead of ordering in Uber because there is a lot of change in price.

Very good food, taste and amount was perfect. Please try to maintain the taste of food like this. Recommended

Faheem’s Hyderabadi Dum Biryani is hands down the ultimate spot for biryani lovers in Leeds! It’s a small, unassuming place, but don’t let that fool you – the biryani here is pure magic. The flavors are so rich and authentic that it feels like a trip straight to Hyderabad with every bite. What makes it even better? It’s the tastiest biryani you’ll find, and somehow also the cheapest! The portion sizes are generous, the rice perfectly cooked, and the spices are balanced to perfection. Whether it’s the aroma, the tender meat, or the burst of flavor in every mouthful, everything about it screams authenticity. Faheem’s is proof that you don’t need fancy decor to serve food that speaks for itself. If you’re in Leeds and craving proper Hyderabadi biryani, this is the place. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll keep coming back!

Best biriyani I’ve ever had in the UK 🤌 The flavours are brilliant and the complimentary tea is a cherry on the top. Must visit and great value for money

Amazing food and great staff, always give a shot of tea in small cup free of charge while you wait 😊👌🏾

Food was not as good as i expected , service was ok

Delicious biryani at an unbeatable price—always rich in flavor!

You could find real authentic hydrabadi biryani. Just love it.

"Authentic Flavors and Unmatched Quality!"

Hands down one of the best biryanis I’ve tried in the UK! The flavors were incredible, and the spices were just perfect. Totally worth every bite. Oh, and the chai? Absolutely amazing—smooth, rich, and the perfect finish to the meal. Can’t wait to go back!😍

We order from here for lunches at the office quite regularly, but this was my first time joining in and oh man - it's great! I had the Lamb Biryani and loved it! It was spicy, but not too spicy for me (I'm not good with anything over medium heat) and packed full of flavour.

Faheem comes across as someone who genuinely cares about the food he serves, and his customers. While I waited for my order, he offered me a complimentary tea which set the standards for the rest of the food as it was a fantastic brew, and I'm not even a huge fan of tea! I ordered the lamb biryani, and I cannot sufficiently express with words how blessed with flavour it was, the lamb was wonderfully marinated and so tender, and the portion size was more than generous - I've had many biryanis and I definitely rank this amongst the best. Also, the menu isn't limited to biryani, there are more options than you'd expect. I opted for the samosas, and rolls, to go with my meal and as expected, these were great too - Tasty, crispy, and generously filled. I will definitely be back in the future to try more items.

Great service great people 👍 Highly recommended 👌

Tried a few takeaways. Quality is really good every time. Tastes awesome 👌

Excellent service very freindly, amazing food good portion good meat content great value for money! They also gave complimentry desi tea which was a nice touch the tea tasted so nice and strong and authentic! Definatly visit again!

Loved the biriyani, amazing staff. Highly recommend it.

It is not biryani, i don't know what it is but it's biryani especially hyderabadi dum biryani, it's traditional Pakistani brown rice with additional white rice on top. It's just waste of money.

Best Biriyani in Yorkshire at unbeatable price.

Great authentic Hyderabad Biryani.

We had chicken biryani,chicken fry and Haleem .The taste is really excellent and the staff is extremely friendly

If I could give no stars I would! The way this man speaks to you is that he is the king and you are second class. He is so rude and obnoxious it is unbelievable, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. If you would like service with a slap this is the place to go.

Best Authentic Hyderabadi Biryani.

The chicken biryani was horrible and underwhelming. Chicken seemed stale and it was very dry and not flavourful at all

The best meat biriyani in Leeds. Complementary tea is delicious!!! Gr8 value.

I’ve been ordering food from here for ages Their biriyani is the best here in Leeds by far. The taste and the amount of quantity they give is unparalleled. Their love for their loyal customers is also unmatched! They give free food sometimes for their most loyal customers. I really love their food and character

Ordered biryani and disappointed, definitely used to taste better but now gone hopelessly bad.

I had high hopes after reading all the positive reviews being a Hyderabadi myself, but our experience was far from satisfying. It feels like many of the glowing reviews are written by "local guides" who probably have no idea about authentic Hyderabadi food or are part of a marketing push. We ordered the lamb dum biryani and butter chicken for the family, expecting a flavourful meal. Unfortunately, what a big let down. The rice was soft and overcooked, lacking the distinct layers and aroma of authentic biryani. There was barely any masala, making it taste bland and lifeless. Even the sides – salan and dahi – missed the mark and felt far removed from traditional accompaniments. Honestly, this should be called a palao rather than hyderabadi biryani. The butter chicken had both butter and chicken but unfortunately way off to be called the "butter chicken". If you’re looking for authentic Hyderabadi flavours, this place doesn’t deliver. Very disappointing experience. Never again!

Amazing Biryani. Delicious curry and great service. The price was really good too. I will definitely return here. We all enjoyed the food very much. The young chap serving was really helpful and polite. Thank you. Amazing?👍

The biryani was gorgeous! We had chicken one and lamb one. The latter was a bit spicier. The portion was big and it was very affordable. There was no need to wait for the collection either, and the staff were kind.

I heard about this place lots but never tried. Today, I have been there, ordered chicken and lamb biryani . Tasty fresh and warm. I'm definitely going back to Leeds for dum biryani.

The food was really good and reasonable price, people at restaurant were really welcoming. We came along with our Chinese friends and even they really liked the food. I highly recommend this place.

Lovely food with good staff, it has inside dining and is on the dining apps. It was busy and a little cramped. But the food was worth it!

Such a nice place for Biryani, highly recommended for authentic Hyderabad biryani🍽️🍽️

I had given earlier 5*, whenever I come to Leeds, this is the place I will go for my food and take parcel to family, today first time along with biryani, I had order currys and Nan, hoping it's as authentic as biryani, but never expected they provided nan from Tesco garlic nan and ready made curry sauce. When I informed about this to the kid who has desk, he was like you didn't like the curry, no problem that's fine. Disappointed with service and food very first time at faheem biryani.

Pathatic gulabjamuns, when I complaint about the food the guy on the counter was making fun of it was seriously worse experience with staff.

Absolutely great taste. Chicken Biryani Portions good size Loved the spice level medium.

Best Biryani in town lamb or chicken

Amazing authentic food served with love and tea. I love the biryani, adil always makes sure we are comfortable. I always like to eat in and carry one along. Thanks for bringing the India to UK.

Wonderful , Authentic Hyderabadi Experience served to pamper your Taste Buds delivering all the original spices back from Hyderabad India.

Enough quantity, food is average, chicken curry was delicious

Tried chicken biryani ( was fabulous ) tasty Also when I tried the dam irani tea ( it’s next level )

Fantastic biryani with complimentary tea. Bossman charged my phone too

I am a regular customer to faheems since they were doing it from home. consistent taste of biryanis and curries and price for the portions never changed from past few years. generous quantity. If you visit them ask for free complimentary Dum Chai. best tea ever had in UK.

I ordered three main courses for delivery, and all of them arrived cold. Also, my wife became ill after eating them. This was a very disappointing experience, and I won't be ordering from this restaurant again

Tasty food and very generous servings. Particularly liked the corander & garlic naan. Surprised I could walk up the hill to get home

Sorry to say, poor service. Waited more than an hour for our order. We were informed it will be 35 minutes, but was 75 minutes. Portions of lamb in biryani has gone down.

Good taste but not that actual hyderabadi biryani but its good

Authentic biryani taste. Very close match to the biryani we get in Hyderabad, India. Definitely recommend everyone to come and enjoy the taste.

Great lunch, value for money as it was plentiful and I can take it home for later. Complimentary chai was some of the best I've ever had. Can't recommend more.

Excellent biryani (lamb) place with kind service and completely tea.

Amazing! As a Pakistani punjabi I don’t usually like the taste of Indian food but honestly this has to be up there with one of the best biryanis I’ve ever had from any restaurant. Second to my wife’s.

Well I would say I tried chicken biryani it was amazing I recommend everyone to try it

I visited today, Great Experience😊🥰

Authentic biryani Taste nice Good portion size

They have the best biryani in Leeds. Good portion for a hungry belly. Sitting area is small and they offer paper plates and plastic cutlery’s. We have ordered few times from here and every time we love it.

Delicious food, staff is warm welcoming and respectful.

Food was good, still was lacking the actual Hyderabadi flavor. But a great customer service.

Better than expected. Food quality is high, it is cooked well and most importantly authentic. also seasoning done right and comes with big portion sizes. Worth trying and keep on buying. Keep in mind: it is slightly spicy for non Middle Eastern taste bud.

The food was amazing . Biryani ❤️ 😍 Remind me of taste of india

The food is very nice proper Indian heydrabadi test

Good food first time experience

I had the biryani today in the shop. The chicken in the chicken biryani was rotten and smelling badly. Totally unexpected and poor quality experience.

I love their Biryani. Something I’ve been regularly having every other week for the past 1 year and I keep coming back because the taste and quality is still top notch.

The best Biriyani in Leeds! Delicious and good quantity

I love the biryani here. So nice and tasty.😋. One of the best biryanis I have ever had in my life.The staff are very friendly. But I don't really like to eat in because it's very small. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who loves biryani. Authentic Hyderabadi style biryani!

Such a sweet family run space where there was instant homely kindness & love felt and observed. The food excels and I would recommend too many to pick up these wonderful tingling spicy biryani. Thank you. Their mutton curry is out of this world and customer service is warm and kind. Zs

If you're looking for quality food with good quantity this is the best place we were driving from Edinburgh to London and stopped in Leeds for dinner this was the best place nice food staff is also good and we also got complimentary tea Thankyou... Would love to come again if ever in Leeds again

best biryani in uk Real teast it's very nice

Amazing Food especially the chicken dum biryani and super nice service and staff. Just loved it! And do highly recommend paying a visit. Cheers!!

On top of Biryani, Chai is the best in the UK.

Never have tried before kind of Hyderabadi bryani but this place is amazing.loved their bryani.very friendly staff and free nice cup of tea as well.will visit again 👍

Very impressed with my authentic Hyderabadi Dum Biryani only available in Leeds and suburbs of Leeds I am highly recommend them. Also they do other authentic dishes according to individual requirements.

Amazing food and amazing staff .. highly recommend

Very tasty food and affordable price

Faheem's do not mess around! This is the best takeaway I've had in a long time. Super fiery, super rich, beautifully marinated and cooked meat. This is the real deal.

We ordered lamb and chicken biryani from Faheems ... Must say its the best biryani. I am from Hyderabad, and know how the biryani tastes!The quantity was very good too. Way to go.. a big thank you to Faheems biryani for making our day!!The mirchi ka salan was fab too!!!

Wow authentic Lamb biryani. It reminded me Hyderabad biryani. Sufficient quantity. Worth for amount paid.

I came from Halifax to taste the biryani.. and I was fully satisfied with the biryani and quantity. We tasted Chicken Dhum biryani, Mutton biryani and I strongly felt it was the authentic Hyderabad Dhum biryani. The taste was awesome and the quantity was also good for the price.. I strongly recommend this restaurant to those who like Hyderabad's biryani..
