The most awesome place for Indian cuisine especially if you like Biyani & Haleem. Highly recommend !! Few seatings available but could opt for take outs, they have Family pack options too !!
Friendly chef 🙂
It lacks a good ambience but who cares if the food is yummmmmm!!
Often go here and never a regret 🙂
I have been to north India and tasted authentic biryani and authentic Indian food. This place is as close as I have come to authentic in Melbourne.
But with pros comes some cons. In the beginning the food was served fresh, it was flavor full, it was priced well and the portion sizes were decent, but a few times going in, I have been served not so fresh food (maybe cooked the day before reheated then served) or, before I use to get 3-4 pieces of meat in the biryani, I will be lucky now to get 1 or two small pieces. The worst is the waiting do not be surprised if you are waiting over and hour to get your food. After we were seated we waited 20 min before even getting the Menu. The customer service is horrible, so bad you will be tempted to even walk out, even if you have paid. The owner/cook seriously needs to hire more workers (good ones) and he needs assistance in the kitchen since he works alone . It’s a shame because this humble shop has so much potential, and the cook is very talented in his craft, if only the owner open his eyes a little. No eftpos too and no ATM close by.
My advice do not go if your in a rush or have no patients, you have to accept the good and he bad sometimes and its best to get takeaway rather then eat it. This way you can call ahead of time to reduce the wait.
Worth the wait. We ordered Tandoor chicken and Lamb Biriani, Roti and Raitha. Did a phone order to pick up the food. Best Tandoori chicken that I tasted. Rest of food was awesome. Highly recommended. Will definitely buy again.
I do not have words to describe the shitty quality of the food, overly spicy, not authentic, no air conditioning and the conditions inside the kitchen dont look that hygenic
A little backstory. This place is close to my home and I once decided to do a pickup and turned out they only accepted cash. I hate it when businesses don’t accept cards for whatever reasons and vowed never to order here. Then a mate at work told me about the best biryani in Melbourne is available in Preston in some place called Labbaik and turned out this was it. The place looks nothing like best at anything though. Hesitant, I ordered chicken biryani takeout the same night for dinner and it was without a doubt, delicious. The flavour of the chicken and the spices was seeped throughout. Cant say its the best here as this was only the fourth place I was eating biryani from. But surely worth a try if you are around here. Deducting points for accepting only cash.
Best biriyani in Melbourne. I just can’t get enough of biriyani here! Waiting hours are really long. I went there on new year’s eve, had to wait for an hour to place the order, and another 40 minutes for food to be ready. Chef made tandoori chicken for us( he ran out of it), just because he made us wait, and we were the last ones that he served that day! Also got to have dessert made of bottle-gourd. Also had haleem. The food made was worth the wait.
Most authentic hyderabadi culinary experience downunder!!. Most authentic Hyderabadi culinary experience downunder!! Simply amazing indian food.
If you are in a hurry; go for the famous Hyderabadi Haleem and/or Biryani.
If you have patience (which surely will be tested) then go for charminar kebab, tandoori chicken,lamb chops from the Tandoor.. if you are into curries and stirfries try chilli chicken, palak paneer..n many more freshly made curries along side the finest Naans you could have in Melbourne.
