  Delicious food with some unique dishes on the menu! Everything that we've had here has exceeded expectations. The tikkas were super soft & flavorful, biryani was lip-smacking & chilly chicken was really authentic. Very hospitable & friendly owner too..

  I found this place after searching for the best biryani in town because I was really disappointed with the biryani I had at another restaurant before. This place was only a few minutes away, so we decided to give it a try. I ordered the Hyderabadi Dum Chicken Biryani and asked if it could be made with boneless chicken because that's what I prefer. The staff at the counter said yes, but later the chef came out and apologised. He explained that the Hyderabadi Dum Chicken Biryani couldn't be made with boneless chicken because of the way it's prepared. He was very kind and offered to remove the bones for me instead. The food took a little longer than the 15 minutes we were told, but they were very busy with takeaway and Uber Eats orders, so it's something to keep in mind. We also ordered the Honey Chilli Potatoes, Paneer Makhan Wala, and Tandoori Roti. Everything was fresh, full of flavour, and absolutely delicious. Overall, the Hyderabadi Dum Chicken Biryani was really, really good. It was so yummy and it actually felt like I was eating an authentic biryani. I really enjoyed it and will definitely come back again.
