) "Absolutely fantastic place for food lovers at affordable price and great service"
"I ordered Lamb and Chicken Biryani, Chilli Chicken & Chicken 65."
"Amazingly tender chicken, mind blowing spices and flavour of the rice."
5 "We had an incredible experience here! The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was fresh and full of flavor. What really made our time here special, though, was the service. Mehak went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. She was attentive, friendly, and gave us some great recommendations. We are definitely going to be regular at this place!"
5 we visited last night and ate some naan with chilli chicken which was baaaanginnn! the mango laasi was also really delicious what made our visit so memorable was the hospitality and kindness from Nazim! He made us feel very welcome, not just us but we noticed how kind he was to all the customers not just because it was his job but out of his own way :))
5 One of the best Biryani i tried in melbourne. Both chicken and mutton dum biryani meat was super tender. Spice level was really good that both adults and kids can eat comfortably. Serving size is very good. 5 people 3 kids and 2 adult can hardly finish 3 servings of dum biryani
5 Had an amazing experience at Biryani House Melbourne! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Malai Chicken which was super soft and flavorful. Even though the place was really busy, the staff still managed to serve our food on time and were so polite throughout. Great service, great food, and warm vibes. Definitely coming back!
4 Food was pretty decent with the chicken being the highlight of the show here. Chicken 65 Dry was good, crispy and moist and had decent flavour and the chicken tikka was just as tender but I liked the dry / fried one better. The curries lacked a bit of flavour as they didn’t have that strong curry flavour and it was a bit watered down but we were fine with that as it was more calorie friendly. The rice and naan were pretty standard or even a bit below standard but overall happy with our visit. Didn’t feel like Briyani on the day but might come back for it.
5 "I've been going to Biryani House in Melbourne for about 15 years, and it never disappoints! The biryani is absolutely delicious, and the flavor is always consistent. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the ambiance takes me back every time. Highly recommend it!"
5 Whole experience was really amazing. Went for lunch today. The food was nice in reasonable price. The manager was so polite and fulfilled our special requirements. Though the restaurant was so chaotic , she dealt with us so nicely. Kudos to the positive attitude of her ..
5 Had a takeaway Biryani from Biryani House King Street west Melbourne Food i would probably rate as 3 stars BUT The service ftom Naz(Nazim) who served me at the front counter He was a Absolutely Brilliant Very Warm and friendly personality rare to come across i would rate this person 11 stars out of 10 Great asset to the business owner if i still had my restaurant i would definitely head hunt this guy Thanks Naz for the brilliant service Ajay
