The Biryani Centre in Kingston upon Thames

Extraordinary little gem of a place that we discovered! Biriyani and dal tadka highly recommended!

Excellent tasting food. One of the best Biryani ever. Even the vegetarian selection is extremely delicious. 10/10 for value for money! highly recommend if you are thinking of Biryani!

Review as of 7th Sep 2024 We ordered the Butter Chicken and the Mutton Chettinad via UberEats. The food was tasty but disappointingly very small portion for the price that we paid. £17 for 6 bite size chicken with lots of sauce, £15 for 6 bite size mutton with lots of sauce. Good taste but expensive for what you get. Need to think twice before ordering from them again. Review One Year Ago It’s my first time to the restaurant. My friends and I ordered Mutton Biryani, Chicken Chettinad, Butter Chicken and some naan bread and Mango Lassi. Food was delicious and amazing. Portion size is good. Just a bit disappointed with the small portion of the aubergine curry that came with the Biryani. It’s more like a dip rather than a side. Staff are very friendly; even the chef popped out to say hi. We will recommend to friends and family. We will come back again.

Everything was amazing and so freshly made!

Food is really good! We had biryani and it was by far the best we had! Will definitely come back and try other dishes.

Delicious Biryani. Excellent service.

Delicious butter chicken curry, and lentils and aubergine dish. Super rich and creamy 🤗

Been going to the restaurant since a year now and always come out feeling happy and content. The main draw was always the biryani which is the most authentic I’ve tried in the UK.. and I’ve tried a lot of places in my quest to find that taste from India (there’s a lot of different biryanis across India but this hit home for me). The Beetroot tikki is another stand out for me. Usually go there with a few colleagues who have all loved the place and all the different bits we’ve sampled from the menu. No wonder we keep going! Service has been great with the hosts being very attentive and involved in the whole experience. Definite recommendation if you’re looking for authentic Indian food. A great meal overall.

so I don't like saying the lord's name in vein but JESUS CHRIST. me and the Mrs decided to explore here after a few beverages.. and ill tell you from now.. BEST BIRIYANI I have had in the last 30 years of living in London. this place deserves the best biriyani award for 2024 and possibly 2023 also. we will definitely be visiting again.

Took 20 minutes to get the food and it I don't think it was worth the wait. The service was average, he didn't say anything to us so nothing bad or good happened. Atmosphere wasn't as I expected, a bit below average.

We ordered vegetable , chicken biryani and tikka for party at home. Everything was delicious and enjoyed by all guests. Great service overall from order taking, follow-up and delivery.

Best take away delivery. I want everything on the menu, all at once. Too delicious for words!

The biryani was absolutely incredible - so many layers of flavours, the perfect spice balance plus generous portions too. Best of all, these lovely people do a huge amount to support the local community, particularly via RBKares charity.

Undoubtedly the best naan selection I have ever had. Delicious curries. Highly recommended!

first time ordering delivery - everything was delicious and well packaged with minimal plastic!

Wonderful place, came here today for the first time with my family. Best curry in town! Lovely staff and great atmosphere, thank you!

The best biryani around New Malden in South London. Was just driving past and discovered this. Highly recommended for an authentic dum style aromatic biryani ! Will surely be back.

What a wonderful homely place where you are treated like kings and served the most wonderful food. Outstanding.

Fabulous meal.Unusual dishes, wonderful flavour and not greasy. Highly recommended

Every dish is prepared with care and is delicious.

We had the chicken byriani, mutton chilli fry and naan. Everything was absolutely delicious. Seasoned to perfection and really gave a feeling of home comfort with a bit of an extra! Byriani also came with complimentary raita and aubergine curry. Good portion sizes for both sharing and having your own meal. The service was great, very friendly staff and gentle Indian music in the background for ambience.

The food is absolutely delicious, amazing little restaurant, beautiful decoration…… a must visit

Very authentic tasting biryani. Perfect balance of spices and flavour. My only suggestion is slightly bigger portion size. £15 for a single biryani is definitely steep considering the current economy we're in.

I visited this place last night for the first time with my partner. We had the gobi 65, chicken biryani and butter chicken. All were delicious and we didn’t want it to end! The food was authentic and you could tell it was made with care. I can’t believe I didn’t come to this place sooner and I can’t wait to go back with our friends and family. The service was incredible and so kind! ❤️

Very good homely food and service

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED , BEST IN THE AREA. Wonderful food, made us feel like home cooked meal. Sudhakar and chaitanya were very warm and welcoming. Brilliant chef- veg and non veg dishes were amazing. Though we walked in towards the end of the day, they fed us with a warm smile. Thank you very much, we will visit again

Definitely coming back! Highly recommend and relatively cheap!

Excellent food and friendly waitress service fast.

Amazing food! (mix of veggie and non-veggie dishes). Best biryani I’ve had in the UK. Can’t wait to come back.

Best Biryani I have ever had. Highly recommend for authentic Indian curry.

Love the Biryani. It is one of the few places who do not add unnecessary fragrant spices to spoil the taste. Its biryani as it was meant to taste. Also the staff is very kind to cater to special requests in the notes.

Great food, great service, highly recommend!

Food and service both Amazing. Authentic taste and great prices

Excellent food and our favourite place to order from.

Feels like home food! Must try! Thank you Sudhakar

Wonderful home made food will definitely come back!

Excellent tradition Indian food! Delicious

I been to this restaurant then service very good and good staff also good food

Finally found a place that serves authentic Indian food in london!

Best Indian food I've ever had. Delicious meal with fantastic flavours. And at the heart of New Malden, will be definitely going back

Cute little restaurant. The mango lassi is really delicious. Also, we had both veg and chicken biryani.. The food was good and beautifully presented.

Fabulous biryani at the centre!!! Sudhkar was very affable and made us comfortable. The food was served quickly and the importantly the biryani was fab - meat was tender and flavours well balanced!!! Outside of Hyderabad style biryani this was the best I have had in London!!! Highly recommend to all around the area to visit… best eaten with a beer though 😊

Your fish curry is incredible ! Perhaps one of the best I’ve ever had. Biryani is best takeaway biryani you can get.

One of the best South Indian food places in London. Felt like homemade food!

Beautiful food, how it should be done..and its for everything not just the biriyani!

Food was delicious, loved the plates, kind gentle staff :)

Absolutely fantastic. A small range of authentic Indian dishes, all perfectly done from scratch ingredients. The best curries and biryanis for miles around. Small amount of seating, just three tables - strongly recommend booking in advance!

I love the food in this place, I would not say I am a regular but I have been a customer since it all started in Covid time and it is and I can definitely say it is my guilty pleasure! Good in tasty, nice, 100s of diferente notes dancing in your mouth, spice, sweet, crunchy...I love the bread, the Mango Lassi is divine...EVERTYTHING! LOVE IT.

One of the best Indian food restaurant I have been to in the UK so far, definitely recommending this one to everyone.

Fantastic restaurant and takeaway place. We have been since it opened and the food is super clean (not oily) and the place is always immaculate. The service is always pleasant too. Big portions and really authentic food. I took my Indian friends and they said it was the most authentic food they have tried here. Five stars!

Great restaurant, good tastes so fresh! Service is always great the staff are very friendly. Highly recommend

Amazing food and ambience! Very friendly owner. This is our go-to place for Indian food after work.

A small intimate restaurant with exceptional food. The biryani is the star of the show

The biryani is the best in London. I am surprised to find it in this area. Friendly staff too. The place is not big, only a few table but very comfortable.

Simply I love it. One of the best biryani I've ever eaten in UK.Please maintain the momentum...👍

Amazing biryani and Sudhakar is a great manager with exceptional customer skills and hospitality

Gorgeous biriyani and Chettinad chicken enjoyed the taste of Tamil Nadu and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Vegetarian Biryani was lovely. Sudhakar accommodated us very well. Very clean restaurant. Highly recommended.

Food quality is good service is prompt and efficient offering competitive prices and quality, located on main road, paid Street parking. Public utilities are there.

Amazing butter chicken and delicious naans! Chef is amazing and so friendly

Biryani was just amazing We shall visit soon

Food was good and did not have a long waiting time

Really yummy, fresh biryani. Have a kids version as well which my girls loved. Would definitely recommend 😁

Mutton cooked on the bone was tasty & tender. Biryani for two was generous size, with tasty sides and freshly cooked eggs. The cauliflower and Samosas starters were all good. All full and happy.

We ate lunch here and the food was delicious. The highlight was the seasonal special dessert of alphonso mango and raspberry sorbet. The presentation of the food was beautiful throughout. Outstanding service too - thank you very much.

Great food, fast and polite service. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, very good staff. Had a very lovely evening with friends and family.

One of the best places in London for a good biryani!

Lovely warm service and very tasty and authentic South Indian.

The food at Biryani Centre was delicious when dining in the portions seemed larger than takeout. Friendly service I highly recommend it!

Came here for lunch with my family on father's day. Great food and great service! Will come here again.

Biryani Centre is an absolute gem. The food is delicious, hearty and well presented (even as a takeaway). Portion sizes are decent too. Staff are very friendly and it’s always service with a smile. Personal favourites are the mutton biryani and butter chicken. Chicken 65 has a fiery kick and goes nicely with raita. Not eaten in before, but it’s beautifully decorated and very welcoming.

This is one of best biryani I have eaten in Uk. It's very rare to get salan in the UK but here u get both salan n raita which elevated the biryani to 5 star for me

This was an incredible find on the way home from touring the countryside near London. While waiting for food, there were choices of games to play (!), but we didn’t get to play a lot as the food came fairly quickly. The dishes were amazing. Great quality and decent portions. The naan was delicious - one of our kids usually doesn’t eat naan but asked for seconds here. The biryani was tasty. The service was friendly, quick and polite. The restrooms were clean.

It's cute n tidy place with delicious food... We accidentally went there and fell in love with their Biryani, Dal Makhani n Naans ... Decor is very pleasant... seems lot of dedication n personal touch in setting up the restaurant l...And very polite staff... One suggestion... Please introduce Paneer Biryani .... Vegetarians love it ..

Our first time here, really lovely and authentic food with brilliant customer service, definitely will return

My JustEat order has been cancelled after waiting for 45min without any reasoning. So unprofessional.

I was so pleased to try this local restaurant! All the food was delicious, prepared quickly and kept warm for us until pick up. I loved so much the black daal and the chilli mutton! Will definitely come back to try different dishes :) also, I really appreciated that all the take away pots are biodegradable, this is very thoughtful! Thank you!

Food is as good as always, I always come for the briyani

A wonderful experience. The food was delicious with lots of vegetarian options. Some highlights were the Punjabi samosas and paneer butter masala. The staff were so kind and helpful. We can’t wait to go back!

We ordered take away and the food came fast and was very tasty!

Delicious! Really enjoyed the house special biryanis and the mutton chilli fry. Will be back.

Consistently great food. We love the Butter chicken (closest to India taste) and Chicken Biryani!

Best Biriyani you can ever had in london and the delivery is also very quick. The awesome food I have ever had in London ever.

Great meal! I had the Chettinad Mutton Curry and Veechu Paratrta and they was spot on! Sipped on some chai too, I’ll be back to try their Biriyani next time 🙌🏽

Tandoori chicken was just excellent. Tender and delicious. Would come back again.

Our go to place for Indian food! No doubt on the service & food quality. Highly highly recommend.

Lovely place, looks great, waitress,samistha was lovely. Seriously best naan I've ever had, like naan paratha cross! Curry was fantastic and so was mutton fry..but its hot.

Most delicious and authentic Indian food. Great flavors. Extremely friendly service. Best Indian food in West London. Flavor explosion.

Come for the Biryani, stay for the sweets and chai

Delicious and generous portions. Not at all greasy and great flavours

Amazing food , absolutely tasty and delicious. Will be coming over more and more . Each dish distinctively amazing .The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

It’s a good place for South Indian palate!starters are amazing Desserts are so good!

Pleasantly surprised. Tasty lamb biryani with taste enhancing accompaniments. Delivered in time. Anticipating visiting to eat in.

Just the best biryani in this part of London. Lovely, simple, spiced just right & not picky or greasy. Sudhakar was kind, attentive & quick to respond with requests. This is a little place but clean, quite & ambient. I’m glad o just walked in on a whim.

THE BEST!! This was the best time of my life, the food was delicious . I recommend coming back.

We visited Biriyani centre first time. We loved it. Food was amazing, well presented. Staff was very friendly. Recommended.

The garlic naan thin as paper not even tasty or nice to eat, through all of it in the bin

Excellent staff with superior services and delicious food

Warm welcoming staff, a good environment with good tea, food and a good dining area I'll really recommend
