Went there for the second time to lunch last Sunday. I love their ambience, air-conditioned, clean and convenient washroom, and sink with mirror and handwash etc. Fast service, attentive waiters despite the crowd. They do play good music to listen to while enjoying your food. As for the food, we tried their briyani, chicken, mutton, squid and vegetarian set. My whole family and friends loved the food. Packed with flavour, generous portion, very reasonable price. Totally satisfied. Drinks also good just a lil sweet for me. Other than that, its not convenient to move around as the place is often crowded. Understand that. All the best! Will keep coming back and recommending to many.

For once the rumors are through. After watching a video of new beriani shop in Rawang, i had to try. The location, well its Rawang and its hard to find. The food, mutton was moist and not dry at all. The chicken was nice too. While we were eating we overheard that the Beriani’s has finished. As we came on a public holiday, the place was packed and we had to line up for like 5 mins. The owner quickly ushered us. Well-done to the owners ensuring customers are not waiting. As the place is packed - it was a little noisy but acceptable. The place is clean. My only comments is that they have to improve their service. Either they get more staff or staff’s of a leadership role. Hope that the quality and passion don’t run out.

We had mutton biryani — the mutton was fresh, very tender, and cooked to perfection with a great texture. The pachadi taste is very nice and different too. Perfect match with the Briyani. The taste of the biryani is 10/10! The service was also excellent; the staff were very friendly and attentive. This is my second time visiting this restaurant. I also tried their signature coffee — it’s really nice! With affordable prices, this place has become my favorite restaurant now. See you again, Uncle Mano!
