About Biryani Guys

Biryani Guys is a Pakistani restaurant at 292 Alum Rock Rd in Birmingham, set in a small shop with a Pakistan and Karachi theme in its decor. The menu centres on lamb biryani and chicken biryani, and the biryani is served with a yoghurt sauce and a small pot of onion salad on the side. Paratha rolls are also on the menu. The shop opens daily and has a small stool area inside for eating in. Parking around Alum Rock is difficult.

Customer Review Summary

The complaints are about the rice, portions and price. Two reviewers say the rice was undercooked and crunchy, and one says the lamb biryani had undercooked meat and tasted only of chillies. One reports the biryani is cooked in London and arrives reheated in a small container. Others say a curry is only a few spoonfuls, a biryani has bones, and a lamb biryani holds few pieces of lamb. A regular says the paratha rolls and sandwiches have tasted different over the last couple of weeks. Packaging is called adequate and excellent, and the onion salad and yoghurt sauce that come with the biryani lift it for one diner.

    “Best place to had something spicy rice like briyani other things”
  • Apollo Friskyz
    “Food is okay/pretty nice. But what really lets this place down is the tiny portions. Ordering £12 curry is only a few tea spoons filled. £12 Briyani has bones. Overall to fill up 2 average people u would need to spend £40+ more. For a place in Birmingham it’s way too expensive compared to its competitors. That being said the packaging is excellent.”
  • Areesh ansari
    “I am a regular customer and usually order paratha rolls, sandwiches, and other items on a daily basis. However, over the last couple of weeks, I have noticed that the taste has not been the same as before. It feels different, and I was wondering if there has been any change in the chef. Kindly look into this matter, as I really enjoy your food and hope the original taste can be maintained.”
  • Mohsin Tariq
    “I haven’t had good biryani in the UK very often (other than what we have at home, cooked by my wife), but hand on heart — this was one of the best I’ve ever had from a shop. Really tasty and full of flavour! Sometimes the taste depends on the chef or how fresh it is, but today’s experience was truly top-notch. It’s a small spot, perfect for a quick school or office meal — though the rice portion could be a bit more for the price. Respectful and polite staff. Must, must try at least once!”

    “5/5 stars! Amazing experience at Biryani Guys! Tried their Chicken Biryani, Lamb Biryani, Chicken Kadai, Paratha Roll, and Sandwiches - everything was delicious! The kebabs were a highlight, and their drinks were refreshing. What really stood out was the beautiful ambiance they've decorated their small shop so nicely, it transports you back to Pakistan! The warm and cozy atmosphere adds to the overall dining experience. Great food, excellent service, and wonderful value. Highly recommend Biryani Guys for a fantastic dining experience that will make you feel like you're back home!"”
