Hyderabadi Biryani & BBQ

Hyderabadi Biryani & BBQ is truly a hidden gem. It’s a small hole-in-the-wall spot, but the food is as authentic as it gets. The Hyderabadi dum biryani instantly took me back to the lanes near Charminar in Hyderabad — rich aroma, perfectly flaky basmati rice, and tender, flavorful mutton pieces. The chef said she is actually from Hyderabad, and you can taste the love and tradition in every bite. She cooks fresh biryani daily, usually ready between 12:00–12:30 PM, so plan accordingly. The spicy mirchi ka salan on the side is the perfect complement. This isn’t a sit-down restaurant — it’s strictly take-out — but don’t let that stop you. If you’re craving real Charminar-style Hyderabadi biryani, this place is a must-try. Authentic, soulful, and absolutely worth seeking out.

This place is such a hidden gem. The absolute best butter chicken and biryani I've ever had. I'm a repeat customer. The staff is so nice and it's clear the food is a craft to them. Of the three times I've been here, I've always had excellent and really friendly service and the food quality is very high AND consistent. I definitely recommend satiating your craving for Indian food here!! Apologies for the food being partially eaten in the picture, I always forget to photograph until I've already dug in. It's also very clean! I know the outside is sort of dingy but you absolutely must try it.

The only way to describe it is that ( taste like homemade) the flavor is nice and mild. The price is way underpriced for the quality of the food provided. The naan 🫓 is to die for. The rice 🍚 is cooked just right. The samosa is humongous, and it tastes heavenly. You can tell it was cooked with fresh unused oil. No overwhelming flavor… I can go on and on. Bottom line, HIGHLY Recommend 👍 thank you to the owners.

Ordered the Hyderabadi haleem. It was okay and filling, but definitely not at the level of authentic Hyderabad haleem in terms of taste and richness. The packing was good, but for the price, it didn’t feel worth it. Decent if you’re craving haleem nearby, but expectations should be moderate, especially considering the cost.

I was on my way to NorthPark and wanted something to eat so I stopped by since it was close by. The reviews are all correct. Absolutely delicious food and the biggest garlic naan you’ll ever get! Incredibly friendly people as well. Will definitely be back!
