Biryani Ka Adda

3.8230 reviews ·Opens at 11AM

Biryani Ka Adda stands out for its wide range of flavorful biryanis, from chili chicken and chicken lollipop to gongura varieties and a highly praised paneer biryani that regulars call their go-to vegetarian order. Diners love the fragrant, balanced rice, generous portions, authentic homestyle feel, and friendly service, but note that it’s primarily a digital kitchen for online pickup, with limited seating and spice levels that can run hotter than requested.

I have ordered biriyani today through door dash for lunch, they gave old stored food, when we tastes it we noticed the food is spoiled. I would suggest to avoid the food from “Biriyani ka Adda “ restaurant, as they serve previous day’s food.

Not recommended at all. Total waste of money and a waste place to visit. The biryani had no proper flavor it tasted more like spicy chilli rice than actual biryani. It was extremely spicy, and my stomach literally started burning after eating. Very disappointing experience.

Worst Egg biryani I’ve ever had in my life. The rice had a foul smell, clearly indicating it wasn’t fresh. I ordered egg biryani, but what they served looked and tasted nothing like it. you can see that in the images I’ve shared. Completely disappointed with both the quality and hygiene. Definitely not recommended.

I recently tried their biryani and it was absolutely amazing! I went for the chili chicken biryani because I wanted to try something different, and it turned out to be fantastic. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, and every bite was mouthwatering. I was amazed at the variety of biryani options they offer, which makes me even more excited to return and try more of their menu. I’ll definitely be coming back for another round of delicious biryani!

Biryani ka adda is our to go place for Biryani. They have so many varieties of biryani. We recently tried their chicken lollipop biryani and it was amazing. They have some very good appetizers as well. We love their Chicken 65. Overall its a amazing place if you want to experience a wide variety of biryani all under one roof

This is something you definitely need to try. The food is so delicious and authentic too. They are so generous with prices, if you were to pick up by yourself, there’s some discount too!

Ordered a half tray of paneer biryani and received a free appetizer and dessert with it. Their paneer biryani is one of the best I’ve had in Chicago and is my go-to veg order so I had to get it catered for my biryani! Everyone enjoyed and asked me about it so it’s safe to say that’s their go-to veg order as well now!
