Where do I start? Me and my friends mostly order from here whether it’s a party or a cricket watch party.
I have tried different kinds as I really like mutton biryani. But I think the mutton biryani is definitely above average but the my favourite is ghee roast kaju chicken biryani. The spices and flavour just hit the spot and even their paneer rajugiri biryani I think is good.
We order the big bucket size for party and it came with good amount of raita and salan.

Ordered haleem for Ramadan. Does not taste like Hyderabadi haleem. It tasted more like Pakistani style haleem you get at Sizzler Kebab. Had the same aroma and almost smelt like beef haleem. As a Hyderabadi, we know that haleem takes hours to cook almost upto 12 hours if making in a stone clay oven. The major work that goes into making haleem what it is, is the hand mashing/ grounding of the strings of meat, which was not done. It seems like they put chunks of meat in pressure cooker with ingredients and called it a day. Haleem must have “reshedar” (fine strings like hair) texture not chunks or thick strands of meat which is what it had. The bite was not mouthful, it was thin in texture. You could clearly feel the meat separate from the “curry”. Haleem must never have separate liquid floating around. It must be one thick blob of meet like clay. So I did my own thing. I made some broken wheat and lentils mixture on my own separately and mashed it. Then, I mixed the haleem I got from this restaurant and got to working. Hand mashing the meat took a lot of elbow grease (almost 30-45 min) so I decided to use a hand blender. It was perfecto. Finally we have something like the texture of haleem we get back home. No separate liquid, if any liquid is allowed in the haleem it is the ghee that’s separated from it after it’s cooked to perfection (see image 2)
If you really want to have Hyderabadi haleem I’d recommend to check out “shah ghouse” on Uber Eats unfortunately they don’t do pickup and delivery is steep 8.49$ to downtown but taste wise it’s definitely worth (It’s likely a kitchen without store front on 264 Markham Rd)
Biryaniwalla- I’d recommend yall to have Haleem at a Hyderabadi persons home or restaurant that serves “Hyderabadi Haleem” and update your recipe. It comes once a year and nothing disappoints you in Ramadan other than Haleem that doesn’t taste like its namesake.
Thank you for trying. A for effort. ♥️ there is room for improvement. Cook it for longer, and break down the meat into fine residue and it will be good.

I recently tried the biryani from **Biryani Walla by Chef Prasanna**, and it was honestly amazing. The rice was perfectly cooked, the spices were just right, and the overall flavor was rich and authentic. You can really tell that Chef Prasanna puts a lot of care and passion into his cooking.
Every bite was flavorful and satisfying, and it reminded me of true homemade-style biryani. It’s not easy to get that perfect balance of spices, but he has done it wonderfully.
Highly recommend Biryani Walla to anyone who loves good biryani. Great job, Chef Prasanna — keep up the excellent work!

This place is decently good for biryani lovers from India. They have flavours that make you feel amazing internally but somehow the biryani of diff styles tasted almost the same.
We had the cashew ghee roast prawns biryani it was ok
The fried rice was pretty decent
Theappetizer had chicken dragon or something that had good flavour but a lot of coating.

Really disappointing experience. The restaurant advertises being open until 2:30 AM, but when we went there, they casually told us dine-in was closed at 12:30. Nowhere is this mentioned online or at the restaurant. We drove all the way there only to leave empty-handed.
To make matters worse, the place didn’t look well-kept — dirty plates were left lying on tables, which gave off a very unhygienic impression. Even the tea they claim is “authentic” turned out to be from a machine, which felt misleading.
A place with so much potential really needs to work on honesty, cleanliness, and basic customer respect.

I am absolutely appalled by their recent drop in quality. They used to be the one decent place for Biryani but the last 3 times I’ve ordered, the mutton Biryani has been sub standard, yesterday I ordered through Uber eats and the Biryani seemed like it was either stale or over cooked, or re-heated multiple times. If Biryani is not freshly made then why even bother. On top of that this gave us a crazy stomach ache which tells me that hygiene is probably an issue.
I am only giving 2 stars since they USED to be good and can do better. Otherwise the food does not even deserve half a star. Sorry.

We recently ordered catering from Biryaniwalla, and it was absolutely phenomenal!
The Ghee Roast Kaju Chicken Biryani was hands down the star of the event — rich, aromatic, perfectly spiced, and loaded with flavor. The balance of ghee roast masala with tender chicken and crunchy kaju was just incredible. Every single guest loved it!
We ordered the large catering tray, and it easily served 14–16 people generously. The portions were great, packaging was neat, and everything arrived fresh and hot.
If you’re looking for catering that will truly impress your guests, this is it. Easily the best biryani in town — highly recommend!

Cooking a biryani is an art and there are extremely few places who get it right.
A good Biryani speaks to your soul and transcends you to heaven. Unfortunately, lots of places in Toronto who make promises of serving biryani teleport you to hell.
My friends and family are lifelong fans of biryani. Of all the places Biryaniwalla is highly recommended and I have usually had it at get-togethers.
This time though I decided to visit the place and order a take out personally.
Located a few meters away from Bathurst station , the restaurant stands amongst other Asian eataries.
Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by Ankita at the reception. We asked her for recommendations and she patiently explained us the options and advised 2 biryanis based on our spice tolerance and preferences.
Taking her advice, we ordered:
– Chicken Kaju Ghee Roast Bucket with double Masala for $43 ($39.99 for Biryani and Double masala pay $2.99 extra).
– Palnadu Chicken Biryani ( $18.99)
Ambience wise, the place is pretty chill with neatly lined tables for family and the huge Biryaniwalla Logo adorning the big wall. There was also a spin the wheel game, which you can play if you place a google review.
While we waited for our order, the shop was quite busy with mobile food delivery orders.
After about 10 minutes, we got our order , paid around $70 with taxes and took it home.
Chicken Kaju Ghee Roast Bucket:
This is possibly their bestselling biryani. And I have to confess, I have tried it before and I absolutely love it. It is a delicious biryani , with nice moist chicken pieces, cashews and which is not too overpowering with spices.
The quantity for bucket was huge and can easily satisfy 3-4 people.
Chicken Palnadu Biryani:
Compared to Kaju Ghee Roast, this one is more tangy and a bit on the spicier side. It is a slight Achari taste and it was surprisingly delicious.
Also, you get Salan (spicy-tangy gravy) and Raita (yoghurt mixture) with the order, and they go quite well with the biryani.
However, i somehow still felt the biryanis lack that authentic taste of biryani that you get in India and Pakistan. Real authentic biryanis have the inherent smoky flavor which comes from coal which is used to cook biryani and to give Biryani the dum ( pots are sealed and cooked over slow heat with coal – at bottom and at top.) Also missed that Birista that usually accompany Biryani layers.
That being said, these are quite good biryanis.
To foodies:
Possibly the best biryani place is Toronto, that gets it as close to the authentic taste. The biryanis are delicious and they have lot of other options including seafood biryanis. The quantities are huge and you and your friends will love it.
To Management:
Great biryanis. Great service by Ankita. Would love if you guys can sprinkle some birista ( fried onions) at the top layer or provide it on the side. Also it would be great if you can provide some incentive for customers who order directly from store. I knew you once had 10%.off , which when I asked was told it’s still on but you need the offer card. I was a bit let down by that because at the end, it’s just a formality. Also spin the wheel if you place a google review is a cheap tactic to get reviews. Just do it as a fun activity guys. Creates goodwill. As a brand strategist , I always recommend customer experience over a few dollars
Overall this is a great place for biryanis. I definitely recommend it.

I just ordered Karvepaku Biryani for takeout, and it was absolutely delicious! It was prepared exactly according to the instructions I mentioned. I would love to visit again. Thank you, guys!

My friend suggested me this place.
I ordered it long ago and the biryani was phenomenal. I have been regularly ordering since then.
But from last few month their quality has gone way down. I have never been this disappointed with quality of the food.
Very fussy with protein portion size.
Salan and raita is mixed with water in order to increase the quantity.
I hope this reaches the management and quality of the food is same as we all knew “Biryaniwalla” is known for.
FYI This was chicken 65 I ordered.
