    I visited Ghousia some few years ago and still remembered how great it was. I visited their restaurant after eating at Qadri but there was a huge difference between both. The quality of Ghousia's rice were beyond amazing. The botis in it and the juicy taste of bone-marrow was delicious. The ambience was average as it is just a general street food but i was amazed with the waiter service done by the kid 'Zain Ul Abdin'. Very well done Ghousia!

    This is best place for Biryani in Karachi. Highly recommended. Taste 10/10, food quality 10/10 , ambience 6/10. I have never tasted such a delicious biryani before. If you go to Karachi you must need to taste Ghousia Nalli Biryani.

    Living abroad for few years I heard lot of hype about Nalli Biryani. The idea sounds pretty interesting and specially when you are fan of Nalli and Biryani both, this combination is out of world. The place is small but all the staff is friendly and helpful, the Biryani itself tastes very good as well but when you eat with Nalli that’s something else. The cleanliness is not very well but hey this is street food after all. I went there in my car but I don’t recommend anyone doing this as there is no parking here. My chauffeur dropped us and parked at 5 mins walk away. Flavor - Star - 8.5 / 10 Authenticity of Flavor - Star - 8.5 / 10 Cleanliness - No Star - 6 / 10 Service - Star - 8 / 10 Value for Money - Star - 8 / 10 Above format would be best to justify my review so i will hopefully continue to keep this for all my next reviews.

    The OG Nalli Briyani in town. If you love beef briyani (BTW, briyani beef ke he hote hai, chicken wali is just chicken with rice). 960 per KG enough for 2 people. They are not cooking Zarda these days. Sitting arrangements are much better than the last time I visited

    Ghosia Nalli Biryani very famous food center in Karachi lalau Khair dak khana liaqat abad. Rate of beef biryani 800 rupees per Kg without Nalli. If required Nalli it charged 150 Rs. I think top 10 Ranking biryani in Karachi. Only parking issue not solve till now. Date is 7 Oct 2022.

    It is located inside a densely populated area of Liaqatabad. You will have to park your car on Shahrah-e-Pakistan. Biryani is good, however it will taste better if you eat it at the restaurant. Takeaway looses the taste in less than 30 minutes.

    As a Karachitie, Biryani is my first love and choice between any food. That's the reason I visited almost every famous spot of Biryani in Karachi in past some years. Some years ago, there was a big hype of Nalli Biryani at Liaquat Abad, so I decided to visit and taste it. The way to Ghousia Nalli Biryani was so congested, and some years ago when I visited first time, there was not any proper sitting area to eat with relaxation, But now they have a proper Dinning area. But still I would say, that was the best taste I ever got in all Biryanis, and after this, I visited several times and enjoyed Daigh ki Garam Nalli Biryani at the spot. There is not any parking space if you are going in car, you should park your car a little bit far at main road near Shell Petrol Pump. And ofcource, "not a suitable place' ⛔♿ for the people who are Wheelchair user.

  • 3/5 Aamir R. 3 years ago on Google
    I think, Ghosia Nalli Biryani is over rated because nothing is special here except bone marrow which is also charged separately, Biryani was not so spicy as expected, cleanness was not upto the mark, table service is average, waiters don't deliver order on time, not suitable for families and no parking space here during lunch time as it located in very conjusted place. There rates are high as compared to others.

    After travelling approximately 10km along with a friend. We ordered half kilo beef biryani (Rs. 480) Long with one Nali (Rs. 200). 1) Time: we were waiting for minimum 20-30 mins after paying and getting the token as the biryani was not yet ready. There were people there waiting over 45 mins. 2) Spoons were not washed prorperly. 🤮 3) The biryani tasted normal rating would be 6/10 not much of a differen than Allah Wali Biryani (society office). Over hyped from my perspective. 4) Seating Area had alot of flies. 🪰 5) The staff especially the waiters were friendly and apologized for the delay in the order which was beyond their control. Long story short: Over hyped would probally not visit again.

    Great Nalli Biryani, Too much good in town, delicious taste, I came from Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan i visited there with my Family. I loved the taste and great aroma came from the delicious Beef Nalli Biryani. I met the Owner of GHOUSIA NALLI BIRYANI he's too nice person & after his efforts the name become a brand in town the staff is too good, serving is good OVERALL 👌 👍🏻.

    The taste was perfect but the rates are extra ordinary high Rs.950 per kg. The behavior of the staff is not good. They charge Rs.150 separately for each nalli.

    If you love nalli's, then this is the right place for you. It is served separately with Biryani. The waiter helps in removing the nalli so that our hands don't get dirty. It was a nice experience. As the food was delicious.

    So finally i also experience the famous Ghosia Nalli biryani. First of all being an introvert is really hard to visit rushed places like this that too when you're visiting first time. Anyway when i reached there their staff was available at the parking area he make a way for my bike to park, and then politely refer me to the counter after giving the order you pay there and they give you a token,,then the waiter moved me to the sitting area, after 5 to 10 minutes another waiter came and take the token (my order) just after 7 to 10 minutes my order was ready. The biryani was so delicious and the nulli bring it 5 starts to it. The staff was soo polite, everything was upto the mark.

    If you are planning to visit this place keep in mind below. 1. Extra crowed all time 2. 15 mins to order 3. Then find a place to sit yourself 4. Give order slip to waiter and wait 15 more minutes. 5. After 15 mins you will be served. 6. As soo you finish your meal immediately vacant the seat. Sime people will already standing at your head for the table.

    This place is unique and famous for so many reasons in karachi. LALUKHET market. One of the reasons is Ghousia Nalli Biryani. As the name shows uniqueness its self. Taste is very good and beef cooked well with spices. Over the top is Nail. I am cutting one star for services and neatness. Highly recommended.

    Ghosia Nalli Biryani in Karachi, a dish much hyped, was surprisingly average. The rich, aromatic layers of rice and succulent meat were present, but lacked the wow factor. The spices were balanced, but didn't leave a lasting impression. The meat was tender, yet somehow it didn't hit the right notes. The overall experience was decent, but not exceptional. It was, in essence, a satisfactory meal but not one that lived up to the hype. A solid 3/5 for this culinary experience.

    Poor hygienic condition. Sub standard crockery.highly crowded seating arrangements and even basic need clean and cold water 💧 not served. After paying in advance for the meal you will wait and asked them like a bagger. I will personally suggest to never visit the shop.

    Location is very tricky but was able to reach there using google maps. Ordered quarter kg biryani with nalli, the taste was really good. Although, hygiene level is questionable. The process to place order is also tricky as you have to get a token first, and then you get the food. Overall, a unique experience with tasty biryani.

    Very delicious if you eat there. Bringing home would not give real taste. And parking is an issue, thus better to park outside in mainroad or go on two wheeler.

  • 4/5 Aqueel K. 5 months ago on Google
    The biryani was so good. Hot, steamy rice served in a large metal bowl for 2, with huge nallis sitting on top which the server then scooped out and laid on the bed of rice to eat together with. It's a shame that it's so inaccessible, especially by car. And the restaurant isn't very pretty to look at... but the biryani more than makes up for those things.

  • 2/5 Rayyan A. 6 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately, Ghousia Nalli Biryani left much to be desired. The taste of their biryani failed to impress, with nothing particularly special about it. To make matters worse, the prices were notably high, making this meal an expensive disappointment. Accessing the restaurant was a challenge in itself, given its location in a very congested area with narrow streets, which can be quite frustrating for those trying to reach it for the first time. For someone relying on a car, this restaurant is simply not suitable. Regrettably, Ghousia Nalli Biryani appears to be just hype.

  • 5/5 M.Usama S. 1 year ago on Google
    Worth the price, taste and a must visit place for Biryani in Karachi. In my opinion the taste was upto the mark and very much justified to the hype that it have across the Pakistan. Excellent management as well.

  • 4/5 Umair F. 4 months ago on Google
    Wahoo No one competes with their taste in nalli biryani, Properly cooked, hot and spicy 🔥 rice with the signature naalii.it was too good.the owner was very humble came to our and ask for the feedback and I just said bhoot allaaa. They are specialists Please beware of copy cats around them.

  • 4/5 Anis C. 1 year ago on Google
    So finally had the biryani at the Famous Ghousia Nalli Biryani. If you are a Beef Biryani lover then you're in for a great surprise. Biryani ain't that spicy I mean the typical spicy you look for in Karachi esp. Great service especially the owner comes and meets everyone. You get free rice and boti refills. Parking is bit of an issue so I'd parked by car in a street nearby and walked to the Ghousia. It's a must visit if you're a Biryani Fan. If not for the Biryani then just for the experience. PS. Biryani is extra heavy so be easy on the portion.

  • 4/5 Muhammad Rameez Ul H. 11 months ago on Google
    I have ate this biryani many times by ordering ar my office never got a chance to eat there. This day I was passing by and had appetite to eat a good biryani luckily I decided to eat there. Biryani was really tasty and more delicious since it was served fresh. I recommend to eat at their place. I highly suggest their management to maintain hygiene and at least install air condition instead of Jet size fans which actually kill the taste of fresh and hot rice they serve. Too much pressure of air dries up the rice in a few seconds and it lose taste this way. Not recommended if People coming with family as there is no parking you have to park on main road and will need to walk through very narrow streets to reach there.

    I have tasted Ghosa nailli Biryani yesterday and it was amazing experience. Taste and quality wise it is prefect but they should improve cleanliness of restaurant. There is no parking available near this restaurant.

    The biryani was really Good when i visited the last time however it has lost its charm. serving warmed up biryani is not the quality you aim for if you claim of it being the best biryani in Karachi. felt sad about wasting my money... I hope it gets better with time!!

    Amazing Beef biryani. Ordered it for delivery without nalli. Amazing flavor, balanced spices. Just right. If you're looking for over hot spiced biryani, then look somewhere else.
