    Really enjoyed the biryani here. The fried chicken biryani was really tasty with the chicken being covered in thick masala, a bit spicy but goes well with the biryani rice. The highlight is the madras tea, it was really good for my liking that I ordered two cups at that time. Place is quite cozy, neat and clean. Staffs are quite good with their service. Only need to improve food delivery time, it takes quite some time. The restaurant is located in Little India, so getting a parking can be a hassle.

    The service is the worse. Just because we wear work clothing shouldn't be treated the last even though we came first with same group of people. Food wise is out of taste never ever will recommend anyone to come over here. Lack of salt and taste. Briyani has no flavor. Regarded to pay the service tax as service is worse. Mango peach drink with no peach..... nightmare visiting the shop

    Presenting my RM22 worth briyani. The worst taste of briyani I've ever had. Please learn the meaning of spicy.. Does the chicken look like spicy for you? And soggy chicken 65? Seriously? My whole bill was about rm90 just for what? And please hire someone who knows about your menu? Disappointing Will never try again and wouldn't recommend to anyone as well.

    The lamb shank biryani was really good and very filling. The price was reasonable considering the size of the lamb given. The restaurant has a nice and quiet vibe with some music.

    PSA they don't accept credit card The first waft of air that hits me on a hot afternoon was the coolness of the air con in this restaurant. Which I was thankful for later. I must recommend that you try the Pani Puri. The crunchy skin combines superbly with the potato filling, perfectly flavored and well balanced spice, incredible textural chew. The accompanying sauce is a different animal. Unbelievable spice ambush. Haha. Be careful if you have a low spice tolerance like me. The biriyani comes in a cute small portion with delicious basmati rice. The chicken was also portioned well for the rice quantity with delicious gravy. The crab rasam meanwhile was an interesting combo. The crab doesn't have much meat. Just enough for a light dish but I liked the rasam. Tangy, spicy and nice for regular sips while eating the biriyani. Lassi was tasty and the masala tea acceptable. Somehow, the flavour just isn't kaw enough for me. I prefer my lassi and masala tea to be much thicker and heavier in taste so this was a slight underwhelming experience for me. The decor is simple and table arrangements comfortable. Being spice intolerant with easy sweating, I loved the cool cold air con which enabled me to enjoy my spicy meal. In summary, a good place to have Indian meal.

    On the overall the Briyani has a mild taste.The environment is cosy. Seating is comfortable.Liked the Madras Tea it was good. The Manchurian Chicken was oily and salty did not meet up to the taste.The chicken was hard. Appolo Fish was not bad.

    Good experience here The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. We had Tandoori Chicken Briyani, the rice is nice and the spices has a kick to the chicken. Tho the flavour could be improved with longer marination of the chicken. Overall good

Food prices are towards quite high But Staff , cooking ,service and welcoming is worth valuing the restaurant. Mr Shahid from AJK was kind and very decent as well as efficient. We enjoyed thoroughly. @Bhai Biryani Penang

    The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor and comfortable seating. The menu offered an excellent variety of options, and each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The chicken tikka biryani was delicious but the lamb mughlai biryani was ok because the lamb wasnt cooked well maybe because we went before the closing time. The price is much higher than other Indian halal resturants. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they made sure that every aspect of our dining experience was taken care of. The timing of the dishes was also spot-on, allowing us to fully savor each course without feeling rushed. Maybe next time we will try other dishes.

    Here,the food is expensive, a dish of chicken rice + a dish of scones, costs nearly rm 60, which is too expensive, it is better to eat nasi kandar on the roadside. Secondly, the waiters here are discriminated against by skin color and will only ask Caucasians whether the meal is good or not. Feel not good.

    One of the best place to have Biryani in Penang.. the quality of the Biriyani rice enhance the taste of its Biriyani.. i had egg biriyani n so far the best egg biriyani i had.. they have ample choices of biriyani.. u would hv hard time deciding wat to hv.. they also hv 3 types of vege biriyani (more choices for vegetarian.. yet to try wen i come bc again) They too hv Biriyani talam n bucket for sharing.. if u go in group 😉 And one dish that i tried n stole my taste bud is its Mozarella cheese naan which i paired with their panneer butter masala.. u should never miss trying this naan as its so soft n those cheese just so rich (only cheese lovers will understand that rich feel) together wit the panneer butter masala (a little sweet but i personally like it to go wit the Naan) it was a great combo.. Highly re

    On our first night in Georgetown, my wife was craving Indian cuisine. Fortunately, our hotel was a mere 8 minute walk from Little India - an area well known for its Indian restaurants and retail outlets. We figured we’d choose the restaurant based on kerb side menus and how patronised it was. We came across this little gem of a place. Bhai Biryani. The greeting was welcoming and most tables on the ground floor occupied. A very good sign we thought. We chose our dishes with assistance from the waiter who spoke perfect English. Fish Tika, Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tika Masala, 2 x Naan bread and 2 drinks: lemon & mint juice and mango lassi. It took some time for our food to arrive but we were not disappointed at all. The fish melted in your mouth and was chock full of flavour. So too the lamb and chicken. We soaked up all the sauces with the Naan bread. All washed down of course with our very delicious drinks. We were so glad to have found this restaurant. The best Indian food we’ve had. We highly recommend it.

    We went for dinner dine-in, seeing the Menu expected Hyderbadi Dum will be good but it’s nowhere equal to it. They even kept curry chicken piece in Biryani.. complete disappointment. Naan, Tandoori like North Indian dishes they given justice.

    Great food. The briyani tasted excellent  and the curry too. The kebab was nice as well. Gulab Jamun is DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED. The butter garlic naan was really good, there was a generous amount of garlic. The service was really good, really polite and friendly employees. the food is definitely worth the money.

  • 3/5 Y B. 7 months ago on Google
    Pretty decent and average Indian food in Little India of Penang. I got the Pineapple Lassi (12.90), the Aloo Jeera (19.00) and the Aloo Paratha (7.00). The Lassi was probably the best of the three. The Aloo Jeera was quite soft and gooey, usually it has a drier consistency. The Aloo Paratha was a letdown. It was greasy and lacking flavor. I got from another establishment down the street which was one of the best I had anywhere. Service was good, but some hiccups. Like asking for napkins, the waiter came back 20 seconds later with napkins and promptly placed it on the table near me, they looked confused as they did not ask for any napkins. It is cash only..

👍 Queue seemed quite long when we arrived around 2.30 pm but we only waited about 20 minutes. I think they should have more signage to tell customers what to do so the process can be easier. There was only one waiter upstairs in the seating area so it was quite difficult to get his attention. Food is...
