Chef Raghu’ s biryani and chicken chettinad are the best I have eaten in Canada. His food is consistent in taste and quality. He catered the food for an event, and he gave us food that was high quality and also very good quantity. The food was delivered on time, and as per our requirements. Him and his team are very nice people to deal with. I highly recommend him for any event.

A friend had recommended this restaurant to me, and when I was in the area, I decided to try their veggie and chicken Beryani. The food was ready in just 10 minutes, and both dishes were incredibly tasty. I especially enjoyed the cashews on top of the veggie Beryani. Not only was the food amazing, but the service from the Chef was equally impressive - he was very kind and helpful in answering my questions about one of their dishes.

Would give double the stars for service if I could. Excellent focused menu. Biryani comfort in the Tri-Cities. Perfect! RBD biryani/bagara baingan/chicken 65 made a great base which I made homemade accompaniments to complete the meal. Nishi

I have been to this place for about a year now. I will rate on my personal experience so far regarding certain aspects of this take-out place Customer Service: 10/10. Raghu and his colleagues are very polite and good to communicate with. Food taste and quality: 8/10. Personally, I think it can be improved up a notch in terms of quality. Ambience: 4/10. Although a take-out place, still it can work on getting some renovation and organization to make it a more inviting place. Overall, I would surely recommend this place!

Great Hyderabadi Biryani takeout place. Love their Chicken 65 Biryani; it always hits the spot.

May 18, 2024

Quality has gone down quite a bit in the last few months. I don’t think this can even be called as biryani, more of a homemade pulao. All the rice is broken and mushy. The chicken in our dum biryani was also not properly cooked. It has a raw smell to it. The Tawa fish was improperly roasted and quantity was almost half of what it used to be. Now I’ve ordered from Raghu DIRECTLY over 10 times in the past year. It’s always been good. Yesterday for the first time, I ordered using Uber Eats. Not sure if this has anything to do with the horrible quality of the meat or food, but it shouldn’t be related. Maybe direct orders get better quality-who knows?

Just ordered lunch here at Biryani Drive, and WOW it was surprisingly good. Need to watch the spice level here as we ordered medium heat but on a scale of 1-10, I would place this at about an 8. So if you can handle heat be prepared that medium is actually pretty hot 🔥 and mild would be medium. Nonetheless the flavors the amount of 🐔 chicken that was in our meal and the quantity of the food was above my expectations. They folders the meat into the rice, so it's layered and we felt that there was a good meat 🍖 to rice ratio. Lot of places don't pay attention to that and it can feel rice 🍚 heavy, this was well balanced. They provided two sauces a brown one and a yogurt-based one, When you mix those into the rice it keeps it from being too dry, and the yogurt takes away from the spicy 🔥 and rich nature of the masala, so it's almost required. Ordered Chicken 65, boneless small order, which fed 2 people for under $20. You can not really dine in, this is a take it and go kind of place! Staff is super friendly, Worth checking out!

Tried for the 1st time. We got the Chicken Biryani 3 piece (Mild spicy). The portion was great, and although it tasted good, we were hurting from the heat.. (we had to take a break) Customer service was great. Definitely recommend trying it!

Hands down! By far, the best Hyderabadi Biryani in Vancouver!

This is a total scam. They are listing themselves as a restaurant but its not. When you get in there, you are getting into a kitchen with all the equipment, raw veggies, onions, and grocery items cartons everywhere. Not even one single table. Smell wasn t good and team was dressed in oily, spot-full kitchen working clothing.

Enjoyed Paneer Biryani and some Chiken 65. There arent many Hyderabadi Indian restaurants so this was definitely unique treat. Portion on the Biryani was huge. They said it would serve 4... more like 8 with leftovers. Food was well prepared, I look forward to trying the mutton biryani next.

The goat biryani is a must have here! It s very flavorful and the family pack lasts us for days. The gravy has a nice taste to it and make sure to ask for jalapeños and onions for more spice and flavor. Great for gatherings and parties, as the family pack can feed several people.

I have had very good experiences with takeouts from this place. Quality of biriyani has been fantastic - probably amongst the very best in Metro Vancouver. Raghu and his team always took very good care of the orders including adjusting the spice levels and adding eggs to chicken biriyani as we wanted. He even cooked my order separately when the order was for 8-10 people. I am very happy to have them here close to my neighbourhood and will recommend them to anyone who loves to try out biriyani.

Either they were having an off day or they really need to up their flavors. We found the food very average and not flavorful at all. Wouldnt be going here again. We ordered the paneer and egg biryanis and the paneer 65 starter and none were worth writing home for unfortunately.

There is no doubt that Raghus biriyani is the best in Vancouver - truly authentic and flavorful, just how it is supposed to be. But what is even more noteworthy and adds to the overall experience is Raghus hospitality. He is very endearing and accommodating to all requests and does not hesitate to go the extra mile for his customers. While his food has won over my taste buds, his warm personality has definitely won my heart!! My go-to place for hyderabadi dum biriyani in all of Canada!!

I first had the biryani here last December, and since then, Ive become a regular. One of my absolute favorites is the Chicken 65 Biryani it s incredibly flavorful and always hits the spot. The Paneer Veg Biryani is another standout, offering a great vegetarian option that s just as delicious. When it comes to starters, I cant get enough of the Chicken 65 and Tawa Fish; both are expertly prepared and full of taste. The service here is consistently excellent, and Chef Raghu truly works magic in the kitchen. Every dish is crafted with such care and attention to detail that it s always a treat. To this day, their biryani remains one of my top choices. It s a place that never fails to satisfy my taste buds and always leaves me looking forward to my next visit.

Whenever we are too lazy to cook, this is our go to take away spot. The food is always fresh. Chicken Biryani is the best. They adjust the spice level as per our requirement and the taste is consistent every single time. Special mention to their Mirchi ka salan. All the staff are very friendly over the phone as well as while picking up and it also easy to find parking. The food is hygienically prepared, tastes awesome and affordable as well. And they always serve their customers with a smile. 5+ stars for Chef Raghu and his team.

We are regular customers of Raghu. He is very friendly, accommodating and importantly very consistent in the quality. Hydrabad, India is a birth place of Biryani for India and this place provides that authentic taste (I dont like calling anything authentic outside of India, but this place is an exception). The taste, the texture, the aroma everything is just perfect. If you are thinking to try a Biryani, I would highly recommend this place. I agree it is spicy (hot) but keep it that way, dont go customizing it.

July 22, 2024

I ordered via Uber Eats. The Biryani tasted really bad. I was shook cause the reviews here state otherwise. It was so bad, I ve never had it worse than this and I m a seasoned hospitality professional. This was an extremely disappointing experience.

Came all the way from Vancouver downtown area seeing 4.9 and the good reviews about Biryani but extremely disappointed to see the quality of the chicken they have served in their Chicken 65 Biryani! It was very old, rubbery and hard, 80% of the meat from Biryani went to trash. Ordered a 3 piece Chicken Dum Biryani but only came to see they gave 2 pieces and they ve $4 difference between 2&3 pieces on their menu so again, robbed my 4 bucks on top of the awful Chicken 65 Biryani. Cut Mirchi was good though, only thing we liked lol. I wouldn t go back to this place given the bad experience. Tip to the restaurant - please use fresh quality chicken guys, it wouldn t hurt you much.

They still need to improve the recipe the dum flavor s are not infused properly into the rice. Rice is mushy and masala flavor isn t delicious.

One of the best and most authentic Biryani and other food items. Loved the Chicken Biryani, Paneer 65 Biryani, Sheer Khurma and Shahi Tukda, havent tried the rest but Im sure theyre great. I have been in the area for a while but only recently got to know about this place, glad I finally did. This will be my regular takeout place specially for the Sheer Khurma.

As always, Raghu s mutton biryani proved to be the best again in metro Vancouver, the location change seemed to have made the taste even better, if that s even possible!! We tried the tava fish also this time and it was exceptional as well. Hospitality is something Raghu always excels in, and his RBD team here also maintains the highest standards. Parking: Parking is plenty on the back side if you are on Kingsway ave, coming from Westwood st, take right on Dixon st and immediate left to access the closed roof indoor parking

Please guys dont take the halal route if possible for all biryanis. That is one of the ways a certain community tries to force their rules on other people. I dont want to post this review from my actual name as I know Raghu very well. This is just a request from one of your most regular customers.

Amazing quality and delicious chicken Dum Briyani, chicken 65, Veg Briyani, Tawa Fish and i can keep on going.. I have been having Raghus Briyani and other dishes for about 2 years now. Everytime we have, we get attracted more to go again to Raghu. If i say Fresh with great Aroma may not be the limit. My family loves Raghus food. I highly recommend Raghu for his delicious dishes, no compromise on qualitu & care and utmost dedication that he puts in. Thank you Raghu and team. You deserve 10 stars out of 5 if i can give

Biryani Drive has an incredibly tasty and authentic Hyderabadi Biryani, the best we have had in the lower mainland. We have ordered from here multiple times and the food is always fresh, the portions are huge and the price is very affordable. We have recommended this restaurant to all our friends and family. The staff is friendly and you can tell they care about the food and service. A great spot for the neighborhood.

I eat their biryani twice a week, extraordinarily made every time. Frankly none of the Indian restaurants including all in Surrey know how to make a biryani. They just add rice to a curry paste and call it a biryani which is not the authentic Hyderabad biryani. I strongly recommend you give Raghu biryani a try to truly appreciate and savour the authentic taste of South Indian biryani. Cheers!

After trying his goat biryani, this has gone beyond my expectations of what I expected. The goat meat was so delicious and tender, and he adjusted the spice level to my liking.

I have been a regular customer ever since i first tasted the veg paneer biryani. I have tried almost every veg item in their menu and my favorites are veg paneer biryani, cut mirchi, paneer 65, paneer 65 biryani. They only use fresh ingredients of best quality to make their dishes. If you are a sucker for flavors Biryani drive by Chef Raghu is a must try, if you still havent.

The chicken dumplings biryani was a delightful fusion of flavors! The dumplings were perfectly seasoned and moist, adding a unique twist to the traditional biryani. The aromatic blend of spices in the rice complemented the tender chicken, creating a mouthwatering experience. A must-try for those seeking a delicious and innovative take on classic Hyderabadi dum and 65 biryani.

Amazing! So much flavour. I cant stop thinking about this food! Tawa fish appetizer was perfectly cooked, tender, packed with flavour. Not overly salty. Chicken 65 and veggie paneer biryani were also both great. So many spices! As a pasty person, I find the mild to be on the spicy side, but easily fixed with the fresh, fresh housemade yogurt sauce with chunks of fresh vegetables (spinach, carrot, cucumber)! Everything is fresh and made to order. Did I mention flavour? Its not just hot spicy but flavour packed with spices.
