2881 St Clair Ave E, East York, ON M4B 1N4, Canada
Take-Out Style Indian Restaurant
“I recently ordered biryani and it was absolutely amazing! The aroma, flavor, and spices were perfectly balanced, making every bite a delight. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the rice was cooked to perfection. Even though it’s a takeout-only spot, the packaging was great, keeping the food warm and fresh. This is easily one of the best biryanis I’ve had, and I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic, delicious biryani!”
I recently ordered Veg Kofta Biriyani from this restaurant and was quite disappointed with my experience. I ordered the kofta biriyani, and it was too salty. It completely overpower the salty(extra salty) taste over the other flavors and made it difficult to enjoy the dish. Additionally, the yogurt served alongside was a letdown as well. It had a watery consistency that detracted from the overall meal. A good yogurt should be thick and creamy, providing a nice balance to the spices in the biriyani, but this was far from that. Even I had to make my own yoghurt with this dish. Overall, I expected much more from this restaurant, and unfortunately, I left feeling unsatisfied. This was my first time trying this restaurant. I hope they can improve on these aspects in the future.
We ordered food for our son’s birthday for 60 people, and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious, of great quality, and there was plenty of it—all at a very affordable price. Everyone at the party was impressed with how tasty everything was. I worked with Gopi for the menu planning, and he was incredibly helpful, suggesting a variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. The customer service and support were excellent throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
The biryani was flavourful, but it felt like rice could've been much more thinner. We ordered paneer 65 biryani, and no doubt was really good. The paneer was soft, and gravy was flavourful, but proportion was not right. Rice was less than the gravy, and there was still gravy left even after we finished the biryani. Otherwise, you'll only get raita on side and no salan.
I ordered both Chicken and Mutton Biryani, Hyderabadi style, from this place. The portions were generous, and the food arrived fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The staff here are welcoming and courteous, which added to the pleasant experience. What’s even better is that they stay open late, making them a go-to spot for those late-night cravings. I’ll definitely be ordering from here again. Highly recommend!
I ordered the chicken ghee roast Biryani and I got the chicken 65 when I open the box. Although the rice is good, wrong is sad. And I have to wait for the order after the promised time.
The food here is absolutely incredible! Each dish is bursting with authentic flavors and spices, and the balance of taste is just perfect. The richness and variety of Indian cuisine really shine through in every bite. This is hands down some of the best Indian food I've ever had, and I can't wait to come back for more!"
Ever since Iqbal on Thorncliff has been ripped out to make room for Metrolinx, I've been on the hunt for authentic tasting Hyderabadi Biryani. I was not disappointed when I ordered from Zabardast. The vegetable biryani bucket was absolutely AMAZING. Only real issue I had was with the Naan bread. Naan could have been better. Texture of the Naan was very rubbery. Butter chicken sauce was a bit sweet but It tasted fine the next following day. I will be ordering again.
Just ordered kofta biyani in buy 1 get 1 free offer and it was super salty. A normal person cant even eat it and they placed 1 potato patty on top of biyani which is definitely not kofta. Highly disappointed. Money wasted. Not recommend to anybody.
Best place to eat indian style food exceptional culinary experience with its rich, flavour biryani and perfect blend of spiceso makes each bite unforgettable. A must-try for anyone craving authentic Hyderabadi biryani!
The restaurant offers a variety of flavourful dishes and impeccable service. A perfect spot for any occasion, for biryani s.
Good food and good service .
Great place for anyone who loves Indian cuisine!
Amazing biryani in town!
Visited this restaurant today, every dish I ordered was delicious and I want to particularly mention about Chicken 65 - a must try
I ordered on Uber Eats. Highly disappointed with the raita tha came with my boneless chicken biryani. I think there is a lot of room for improvement. Please fix it!!!
Amazing taste
The besttttt! Loved the biryani!
I asked for mild food. I received very spicy food. The quantity of meat in the biryani was beyond a joke. I will never order from this place again Food : 1/5
The butter chicken and chilli chicken was really tasty but was little spicy
Best biryani
Ordered 4 chicken dum biriyani . It was cold we couldnt eat that at last we threw that . I ll never eat form there again
Best desi place to eat and hangout with friends, thanks to mehtab for providing top notch service.
Good service
I asked if the meat in their dishes is halal, and they said yes, so I then asked if I can see the halal certificate, in response to that, they said they dont have a certificate but trust us this is halal. Nonsense.
One of the best place to have Hyderabadi food was here.
The restaurant cancelled my skip the dish order 2 times . I waited for 1:30 hours . Irresponsible staff
Dirty place and no table for dine-in. They dont know customer service. Food is below average.
One best place for authentic Hyderabadi biryani.
One of the best briyani I ever had in Canada
Very Never eat there
Every food is so delicious here !! Love itt !!
Best biryani ever!!! Love that they open late.. Great customer service... Just be careful they are addictive.. Food
Hi ordered from here first time sorry to say will be my last time ordered the boneless biryani and butter chicken and 2 butter Naan biryani isnt biryani its white rice with curry in the centre butter chicken was watery and Naan wasnt tasty at all
I cant believe a restaurant would serve such subpar and potentially harmful food. This isnt just a waste of money; its a serious health risk. Stay away from this place if you value your health and your money. This experience was beyond disappointing it was infuriating and unacceptable. my friends and I ended up with severe diarrhea! Its clear that the food was not fresh, and this is completely unacceptable. Such a disgusting place
Amazing food and ambiance
Your biryani just tastes okay and not even close to good. The only reason I still order as I get excited for leaf packing and onions on top. I didnt receive those on my recent order. If you cut on this, sorry, I have to cut on you. Hope this feedback is considered.
Today on the way home my husband ordered two s chicken biryani , after coming home we noticed nothing single piece of chicken there, all of them are rice with biryanis masala! How funny
Amazing food. It was delicious.
Very recommended place, Zabardast biryani Food
Ive ordered chicken biryani several times from this restaurant, but when I was out with my friends and I ordered six chicken joint, biryani the taste of the biryani was totally different and the rice was also uncooked aswell and I was so ashamed infront of my friends. So, please take your time but give us regular taste. Basically, the taste is really good on other days.
Customer service is worse.
Food was excellent! I love your Paneer and your Butter Chicken, so creamy. The taste is perfect. We had a successful event and I thank you for that as everyone loved it!
Good food. Boneless and dum biryani are very good, but chicken 65 is just like I tried at my hometown..loved it.
i tried this biriyani for the first time. it was delicious.. 65 was very good it was recommended by Islam.... Food : 5/5
Disgusting place, these individuals throw all their garbage on the back like it was a dump, I cannot imagine how filthy would be inside their kitchen. Never come here for Toronto s and Canada s sake.
The best biryani I ve ever had.
Good Portion size, Very Good Taste, A must recommended spot if you know the taste. Thanks Teja.
Biryani was amazing !! This place was recommended by Vijay. Visiting again for sure.
Excellent experience from the restaurant the food mutton biryani was too delicious. We ordered tray it was to good. Will visit again for sure. Recommend by Vijay Kakkar
Vijay recommend this place and Mutton Biryani was delicious. Biryani lovers must visit this place.
Very awesome
It was an Uber order tonight , Chicken was totally raw, rayeta was thinner than milk , taste of chicken was horrible, and they sent different chicken in chicken biryani , I had to micro web for 3 min , still was raw and turned into rubber band after ,, never again
Completely tasteless biryani Idk why they call ot hyderabadi biryani when doesnt taste or lool like that Anyone can make better than this at home Not worth 15$ for this at all
Food is yummy just like my moms taste thanks for the best service nd yummy food
Feels like home food
One star for very bad food
I order buy one get one chicken biryani but only got 1 order and when I called them they denied saying we have sent two biryani. I don t think the Uber guy did something because the bag was full there was no way a order was taken out.. very worst experience
I order biryani it was buy one get one free but i only received one and when i call them they started being stubborn saying they sent us you two which is not true. I am really unsatisfied with their services . I would have rate them 0 if possible never gonna buy anything things from here.
I got to taste the authentic Hyderabadi Biryani.
Rude
Best biryani in Toronto
Yummyyyyy
Awesome food
An excellent biryani place overall
Nice taste
Feels like home food
Delicious food
Overall delicious food
Highly recommended place
This restaurant exceeded all my expectations
This restaurant has such a vibrant atmosphere
The food here is absolutely delicious
I have ordered chicken 65 bucket biryani. I really loved the biryani. Must try. Its excellent. Customer service by Aslam is commendable
It was one of the worst chicken biriyani I had. Please hire a cook. Who knows how to cook biriyani instead of cooking curry and placing it in the bottom of the boiled basmathi rice. Food : 1/5
Great taste. Ive ordered Ghee roast Biryani, and it was awesome. It reminds me of the flavors of Hyderabad ,definitely recommend it to all.
I have ordered food multiple times in this place and took party orders as well. Chicken 65 Biriyani, Mutton Keema Biriyani, Mixed Veg Biriyani have unique taste and very good. I recommend their baby corn and cauliflower Manchurian. It s a must try. They take party orders. Price is reasonable and they give extra quantity. No Dine in option
Mutton Dum Briyani and Chicken Curry is really taste s good.I recommend to taste their Mutton kemma Briyani must try. Tastes good and homely authentic food.
Hyderabadi biryani but not halal
Amazing food and service
Order there, Chicken Biryani Boneless. Taste is really good. If compared to chandni chowk biryani its 8/10, but for canada, i havent expected that much good taste, its one of the best. The only problem was the quantity that was a bit less.
Catered for a work event. Food was amazing and was delivered right on time. Thank you Gopi Food
Tried the chicken 65 biryani, it was really good, it was recommended to me by one of my relative, Vijay bhai. The food was good, the spices were perfect too, overall my experience was awesome. Keep up the good work! I recommend everyone to try this biryani store, if you want to taste some good briyani. Thank you!
The name is enough to describe ZABARDAST BIRYANI My friend Vijay recommended me to try chicken 65 biryani . It was super delicious. I have tried in different places but this is one of the best biryani I ever had in GTA. I highly recommend to try it out , you are gonna love it.
They give veg biryani on leaf. Taste incredible!
Ordered chicken 65 biryani last night and it was so flavourful and spice level was on point please open one location in Brampton or Mississauga !!
There was hair in the egg biriyani I ordered. How irresponsible someone can be when preparing food?
The most horrible biryani I have had yet, ever in my life. No salt, no taste. Even the curd given was watered down to the limit. Avoid this place if you like biryani.
The place is only for Takeaway. It s not a Dine In place. talking about the food.. The biryani is too delicious. I ve ordered Paneer Biryani, it was amazing. After a long time i ve had a good biryani. It s a must try place. The place is busy with uber and door dash orders because of the yummy food that they have. They also have lot of other varieties like Roti and Curry, Starters and Desserts. If I had to give 10 stars i would have given it :)
They take too much time to delivery the food There are plenty of Indian good places Food
Joint biryani was awesome.
Best biryani Ive ever eaten.
Quick and gives the experience of food with the same taste back home
Food was stale. Several family members got food poisoning. Reporting to TPH.
Best biryani in the GTA. Best service.
Good service.
Bought 2 dum chicken biryani yesterday and very bad quality. After having my biryani I had stomach trouble within half an hour. And at first I thought the sauce( maybe called raita) was bad. But today my wife had the 2nd biryani little bit and she got very sick due to acid reflux. And she did not had that sauce with the biryani. Me and my wife none of us have any digestive issues normally. So their chicken is the main reason for this food poisoning. Most probably they cooked their chicken early and keep them frozen for days and later on while they make the biryani, they just mix them with the biryani rice. Their chicken didnt smell freshy coocked. So beware of this restaurant. We eat biryani regularly from many restaurants but never had this kind of experience.
Ordered the Chicken 65 Biryani for a birthday party, and it was a huge hit! The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced. Plus, the complimentary gravy was a delightful surprise - so delicious and unique, truly a standout experience! Definitely a must-try.
The chicken was overcooked but the curry was worst. I dont recommend this place, I request the owner to refund my money.
Ordered a joint biryani today afternoon It was a little expensive but worth the spice and taste Just like the restaurant s name The biryani was ZABARDAST Food : 5/5 |
An excellent place to have a mutter panner, this is the second time I bought it and It s delicious as always, loved it !
We came here to avoid cooking time to eat something outside. But waiting time for single biriyani thinks everyone to cook at home. Think about this.
The food was amazing and delivered on time to the party venue. The customer service was also excellent. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal and great service.
Food is not like how it used to be. Drastic quality change. Taste is entirely different of how it used to be. Terrible biryanis in recent times. Not at all worth...avoid this place if you want to have a proper hyderabadi biryani experience.
The biryani at this place is an absolute delight! The aromatic blend of spices, perfectly cooked rice, and tender meat create a symphony of flavors that leaves your taste buds dancing. Its a must-try for any biryani enthusiast!
Was pretty good but not amazing.
Probably the worst food I have had in the recent times
I ordered boneless chicken biriyani today morning, overall the quality of food was good and the portion was good enough for a person, the chicken was slow and tenderly cooked. I would definitely want to try different kinds of biriyani in future and would suggest the same.
The eatery needs renovation thats the essential that could be improved, apart from that overall experience was great.
Awesome food that i have tasted
Awesome biryani s must try all biryanis love the food I strongly recommend here
Nice food good service
Yesterday I have taken Kadai Chicken Biryani from this restaurant and it was very delicious and good in taste. I felt the same taste which I used to have back in India. Definitely recommend and even the staff interactivity was very professional.
I have ordered Mutton Dum Biryani multiple times from this restaurant and I am writing this review after trying their foods for multiple times. The food is really delicious and tasty and is very much recommended.
PLEASE UPDATE THE PRICES ON THE MENU The food is good but do update your menus new price its inconvenient Food : 4/5
Amazingggg biryani s and also the butter chicken that I tried was really nice. The service is really great and shoutout to the owner for running it soo smoothly. Recommendations : Chicken 64 biryani and butter chicken.
The Lamb and 65 chicken are fkn AMAZING!! Definitely I m a permanent customer! Food
Messed up order, no taste, really bland taste, liquid curry and rice and meat did not cook well
Ordered take-out during off-peak hours (Tues 10pm). Ordered lamb biryani, Hakka chicken, aloo gobi. Lots of sauce, very little meat and veggies. Lots of rice, very little meat. Hakka chicken was somewhat sweet. Biryani flavour was good, lamb was tender. Were told it would take 15 min, took 25-30 min.
Good portion of food. Unfortunately, the biriyani we got was not at all spicy.
Very tasty honestly, quantity is very much good and the price is also very reasonable, tried hydrabadi chicken dum biryani today and i would say one of the best in town.
I ordered food from this restaurant worth 35$ at beach in midnight and i didn t got any utensils. So should i eat noodles and manchurian with my hands.
Sorry, not meet the expectations. Its just mix briyani rice with ur choice of protein or veg. Never serve fresh naan its frozen. Food
Food was very good and friendly staff
Visited this restaurant yesterday upon my friends suggestion, the food at this restaurant is very delicious and their chicken-65 biryani is a must try item.
Best biriyani hey.. Very nice test Supper
Vegetarian options: Peri-Peri Paneer Biryani Food
Really really wonderful biryani. I am vegetarian so i have limited options however, by far one of the best biryani I have ever eaten . Vegetarian options: Love the vegetarian option, I would like to try more ! Thank you
Recently i had Hyderbadi chicken biryani, it was delicious.I have ordered the party tray, everyone liked it and there was enough quantity . Even I brought mutton biryani, it was also good.
Great late night food. Hyderabadi dum biryani is highly recommended.
The food we order tasted amazing each and every time. Tastes like food from India/ . Not super fancy looking but the flavourful taste and large portion size for the affordable price make it all worthy. There s no dine in option. Thanks. Vegetarian options: Chilli paneer
As awesome as always. I ordered 4 quantities of Joint Biriyani from Uber Eats. It was really awesome. It was under Bogo offer and truly BOGO offer by quantity. Best Authentic Indian recipe. Best Dum Biriyani with aroma, taste and flavor of all ingredients. As per My instructions they added some little gravry, Onion and raita with it, which cherry on cake. Thank you guys, You are amazing. It is 10 out of 10!!
One of the best in Town. Their Chicken Fry Piece Biryani is the best, the new concept which theyve introduced was just amazing. Thanks guys
The chicken joint biryani was an absolute triumph in taste, portion size, and freshness. It left me craving more and undoubtedly ranks among the finest Hyderabadi restaurants in Toronto.
Original hyderabad Taste and that too in potlam wrap
I requested catering service for my baby shower, there was long list of items provided with budget friendly veg menu. The event went successful because the guests enjoyed the food a lot. I highly recommend the catering service from this restaurant if we have guests coming down. I specially thank Gopi and his wife who suggested me the interesting menu and delivering within mentioned time.
The food is so tasty and customizable. Staff is so friendly. I like the way they recommend based on our taste. This restaurant has catering services too which they deliver in time with budget friendly menus. My friends has utilized this service and they are very happy and satisfied for this service. They has Veg and non veg menu in restaurant and catering service. Must try mutton recipes.
Last time i gave bad review the food was cold, but this time the biryani was awesome
Food is so tasty. The food was served based on our preference request. The staff is so polite towards the customers. Worth it for this food.
Best place for catering services. Veg menu is so satisfying. We ordered for 20 guests. We could satisfy the guests with variety of food items. The best thing is food is served very hot. Very worth ordering because it s very difficult to prepare that long menu at home and satisfy the guests. The manager is very flexible that he suggests menu according to the event. I highly recommend this restaurant for the traditional and western both events. So budget friendly service.
Best place for Indian food. Very satisfying menu. We tried veg and non veg. Customize according to taste. We preferred more spicy.
Their biryani may or may not be but their butter chicken is awesome. The owner is a very nice person as well
Ordered food for my House Warming party. Food was Awesome and delicious. The quantity of food is huge. Each and every person in the party liked the food including kids. Every item is superb and especially the Baby Corn Manchuira, Panner65 Biryani, Malai Kofta got highlight in the party. We ordered breakfast too which is soo good. The price of the food is reasonable as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends and family.
Authentic indian food with proper spice level. Must try restaurant in GTA!
I had take out biryani it was wrest biryani ever I never go back even if you give me free very very very very bad no taste at all. I don t recommend it to anybody. I would recommend NO one to go.
I tried Gobi Manchurian, Chicken 65 biryani and special mutton biryani. Both Manchurian and chicken biryani are very tasty and good quantity. But I didn t like the flavours of mutton biryani, not sure if it s the mutton fault or the rice but it s not that good.
Mutton dum biryani is awesome.
Excellent mutton biryani and very nice service.
I ordered paneer biryani yesterday, It was tasty
I don t like the taste.
I ordered the Hyderabadi dhum biryani and i experienced a real Hyderabadi taste, loved it and the delivery was so prompt.want to try chicken 65 biryani next time
I had ordered both mutton and paneer biryani from this restaurant in Uber eats. Both the items were bucket and the restaurant delivered very less amount of food...there was about 4-5 pieces of mutton in mutton biryani bucket and almost zero paneer in paneer biryani..Rather we found chhole(chicke pea) and potato in paneer biryani..it was extremely spicy that my guests were very disappointed that day. It was like I wasted my 44$ here. I complained twice in Uber eats still got no response..its been 1.5months. They didnt even reply ..I asked for refund thats why they avoided my messages. They are so rude sometimes like when we actually need help from them,they are not there..
Mutton dum biryani is decent with soft pieces and good amount of masala. Salt is less though and is a bit on the bland side. Overall an average taste and nothing special about this. Food
Very Delicious .. especially kheema biryani is finger licking taste... Nice starters ...very soft panner...
Tried mutton fry piece biryani at it was extremely good
Amazing food
The best byrani in Toronto, better than silver spoon as well. I also like how there is less oil in the byrani compared to other restaurants
I have ordered chicken 65 biriyani and lemon chicken . It was really good.. satisfied with the service and taste.
Zabardast means very good, and it was good ,good rice ,good spices,chicken was good and quantity was good coming back soon ....really coming back to get that baryani ....no words just yammy... They dont have a space to sit, but they should expand Food
Zabardaaaaaaaast faltu biriyani.
Hyderabadi Biryani
We had malai kofta and paneer 65 briyani. OMG! The food is really delicious and so flavor full. Malai kofta is soo soo good. Highly recommend this place! Proper Indian taste if you are looking for. I am really looking forward to trying all dishes! The taste is mind-blowing. Please visit and have proper authentic indian taste.
I recently hired Zabardast Biryani for our office Diwali party for a group of 100 people, and I couldnt be more pleased with their service. They played a pivotal role in curating a fantastic menu, featuring generous portion sizes and top-notch food quality. The boneless chicken biryani, kadhai paneer, and mango rasmalai were absolute crowd-pleasers! The meticulous packaging and prompt, on-time delivery showcased their reliability. I highly recommend to anyone in search of exceptional catering for their events.
I tried fry piece biryani, The taste was great and also reminds me the South India flavours .Simply it s incredible and the packaging is very unique and neat.
One of the most unhygenic place and form of cooking. Think twice while you consume food from this place. Visit this restaurant at your own risk. Toronto is no short of good restaurants offering great food. I would strongly encourage visiting those instead. Rest is your choice.
Good food
Indian authentic food
Best Indian food Ive had in Toronto.
Food is excellent as always. preparing is fast and service is excellent!. I recommend Zabardast for best Indian food Especially Biryani!!
Great quality and service!
Great Food , quantity and affordable prices. We gave them a short notice for 100 ppl catering delivery order, made it on time . Would recommend for sure .
The food was very tasty. South Indian chicken curry was excellent. We ordered it for an event and it was great.
Ordered for an event, Mutton fry piece biryani was nice, very sufficient and good amount of pieces.
Food was good, had mutton fried piece biryani and chicken biryani, chicken curry, raita in an event, great quantity in large trays. Vegetarian options: Veg pulao, paneer matar
Ordered from here for a party. Owner is very nice and helped us plan the menu. Food is excellent, highly recommend the dum and paneer biryani.
Food got spilled while delivery and order was cancelled after waiting for an hour
Having savored the delectable offerings from Zabardast Hyderabadi Biryani on several occasions, I felt it was high time to pen down my reflections. Even though residing in Mississauga, whenever the yearning for a taste of home-cooked delights strikes, my unwavering choice is Zabardast. Be it the Veg or Non-veg biryanis, both exude a distinct homely flavor. From the moment the order is placed, the entire experience at Zabardast, including the packaging, encapsulates the essence and taste of India. Zabardast Biryani not only satisfies the palate but also captures the spirit of Indian cuisine, offering a comforting sense of familiarity, especially for those yearning for a taste of home. Thanks Zabardast!! Recommend to all!!
An excellent biriyani place overall. I got mutton biriyani amd it was authentic. The dining space is extremely small and this is more of a take out only place. This is a dedicated biriyani and roti place and they have some Indian snacks, so not much variety like a typical Indian restaurant, but the biriyani was good.
Worst biriyani ever
Absolutely delicious! Reminded me of the biryani that we get back in my hometown! I had been craving and searching for the similar taste as the one that used to be sold in kolkata, and finally found it! Loved it!
Great taste. Ghee roast biryani is awesome. Reminds me of Hyderabad flavors
