Personal Opinion

In these top Biryani spots , my personal favorite is going to be Al-Rehman Biryani. The combination of their quick service, fresh pots of Biryani, and the flavors they offer make it an easiest choice for me. I occasionally enjoy their hot and spicy chicken Biryani, never fails to satisfy my cravings. The softness of banaspati rice, along with the soft and flavorful chicken, creates a perfect taste. Al-Rehman Biryani consistently delivers a remarkable experience.
