The best biryani I ever had after dum biryani, test was good and so many chicken pieces was there There were two people working they are so kind Keep doing great work boys ✨

December 4, 2024

It was a late night delivery. I called the restaurant before hand to make sure if the briyani were good to eat, the employee said everything was fresh! I ordered the lamb biriyani boneless spicy and it was filled with gravy with very minimal rice (it didnt even seem like a biriyani to me, more like a curry). I called the restaurant later complained my concern, asked if they could take the food i got last night and provide a replacement, the employee politely declined. I think this is how their biriyani are 😅🥴🤢. With that being said there was adequate lamb meat in the curry/biriyani.

Delicious biryani... We ordered lamb biryani and it was served hot n spicy(as per our choice) and we felt like the Chef "Sai" has put all his skills to make the dish more delicious.. for that 5 starz. he seems to be a good chef n expecting many more tasty dishes from him.. will visit this restaurant for sure if we visit north York.. Good job Sai..

Food was really fresh, delicious, reasonable with good quality and quantity. The chef (Sai) is very good in prepairing the recipes. The biryani he prepared was really amazing.

This use to be my go to favourite restaurant for biryani. But this time you guys made my order so terrible. Looks like you just took it out from the fridge and packed it. Really disappointed. Thank you for stopping me from ordering it from you.

Ordered via Uber Eats. The butter chicken tasted good but I dont think the quantity of the chicken meets the 19.99$. I got 6 chunks 4 small ones and 2 bit bigger than the 4. its like 3/4 of a chicken breast piece in other restaurant. Not recommended

Ordered Chicken Biryani and Korma via UberEats. They sent stale smelly leftover stuff. Biryani rice seemed couple of days stale. Had to garbage all of it. Wonder why restaurants do such things.

Ordered from Ubereats Chicken biryani boneless is not good at all, there is no real Indian flavor, no garam masala, it looks like chicken has been boiled and some kind of gravy has been put in it, it is not good

First of all it s not even Hyderabadi biryani. It s just rice on chicken curry. After eating it, I got severe stomach pain. Don t visit this place.

Ordered boneless chicken biryani via Uber Eats, and while the portion was generous, I found the taste to be lacking. Regrettably, it didnt capture the essence of a Hyderabadi biryani as I had hoped. Though the quantity was sufficient, the flavor failed to impress.

Ordered from here on Uber eats thinking this was another Zabardast. Food was terrible. If you re going to cheap out on vegetable, in a frggin vegetable korma, don t put a B1G1 deal on it! I got 2 containers full of korma sauce, a few potatoes and literally 10 peas. Nothing else. The Andhra chicken curry quantity was okay but taste was very underwhelming.

I ordered chicken 65 biryani and wom it was so awesome that I almost felt home sick thinking of the special chicken biryani in Hyderabad. The masala along with the chicken pieces was so adequately mixed that I just ended up sad for ordering a single biryani. Good work from the chef whoever made my day.

★★

i actually like their chicken biryani, but today when i ate the chicken pieces were so salty. I couldnt even eat half of the biryani. I hope they reduce this usage of salt Dietary restrictions: healthy cooking is always good

December 22, 2023

Ordered lemon pepper chicken and Boneless chicken biriyani from here and both were stale. Lemon pepper didn t have even a pinch of essence of lemon or pepper flavour and was smelling like cooked in used oil. Chicken biriyani was more like dry pudina rice and smelly chicken added to it.

EXCELLENT biryani. Ordered for the first time through uber as there was a special. From the aroma to the taste...nothing but spectacular! I will definitely order again. The only problem is my own spice level...lol. I need more spice practice!

Beware. If you order from SkiptheDishes, they will not send the food in proper packaging, and will not attach the food order receipt with it. I received only one dish from the restaurant when I had actually ordered two items. When I contacted them, they blamed the driver saying that he stole it. Since there was no receipt attached with my order when it came, I couldn t even argue with the driver.

December 22, 2023

The taste is good, but No quality at all. They simply gave uncooked raw chicken, Extremely Disgusting

Biryani, a tantalizing symphony of fragrant rice and aromatic spices, delights the senses with each flavorful bite, leaving a lingering taste that beckons for more. Its harmonious blend of textures and rich, savory flavors makes it a truly irresistible culinary masterpiece. The chef did a splendid job, we have seen him many times before over there. More of his presence while making would give more delicious food may be.

I am so sorry for the late review but I owe it to you guys. Me and my fiancé order dinner here very frequently by Uber eats. The quantity and quality is excellent. We love the Chicken 65 biryani, Mutton Biryani and Mutton Ghee Roast biryani here. Without a doubt I can say that this is the BEST place for biryani in Ontario and Quebec. We have tried a lots of places but have never gotten so much meat in the buckets. Hats off to you guys for doing so much justice to quality and quantity. Haters and competitors will always try to put you down. Please do not go by one star reviews as I can vouch that even a non biryani eater would fall in love with this food. Kudos to the restaurant owner and the chefs for the amazing flavours. We are just about to order food and got furious reading the fake reviews so thought of sharing our thoughts with anyone who wants to order and also thanks to the owner again. Sahil & Prateeksha

Very bad experience. I ordered chicken biriyani through Uber eats and I received paneer biriyani. I will never ever try this restaurant.

December 22, 2023

Next time you order paneer here, make sure you buy a paneer pack from Walmart and tell them put that paneer into the paneer dish you re ordering cos these guys barely put 6 pieces of paneer. So just do some charity and buy that paneer pack y all

Food is nice could be spicy for most but usually hyderabadi biryani has that flavour.But it is typical hyderabadi biryani and the place is inside a small foodcourt. You dont see the place until you go inside building, it is a commercial building so no branding outside. No road side parking as well so make sure you enter through the food basics exit. Parking: No parking available it has entrance through small street so can be parked for few seconds if you are lucky.
