Biriyani haven — Local services in Gżira

My wife and I were visiting Malta for a vacation, and our culinary journey led us to Biryani Haven, Sliema opp. Azur Hotel by ST Hotels. It truly lived up to its name, offering a delightful experience that went beyond just the food. Here are a few highlights from our unforgettable visit:

Warm Hospitality: The owner and staff not only showcased their culinary expertise but also extended a warm welcome that made us feel at home. Their friendliness added a personal touch to our vacation.

Authentic South Indian Flavors: We tried the chicken curry and sambhar, and they instantly transported us back to my mom's home-cooked meals in India. The authentic taste, free from artificial colors and preservatives unlike nearby Indian restuarants, made it a true culinary gem in Malta. :)

Prime Location: Situated in the heart of Sliema, Biryani Haven's central location made it a convenient choice during our explorations of Malta. The accessibility added to the overall appeal of the restaurant.

Convenient Online Ordering: On days when we wanted to relax in our hotel, Biryani Haven's online ordering via the Bolt Food app came in handy. It allowed us to savor their delicious offerings while enjoying the comforts of our hotel.

The owner and staff were not just chefs; they also shared valuable tips on exploring Malta, making our vacation more enriching. Overall, Biryani Haven has become our go-to spot for an authentic taste of South India, making our vacation in Malta even more memorable. A delightful culinary experience in the heart...

You literally open the sliding door, take one step inside, and there's a small counter separating you from the kitchen. 😂...

Without flavour, small portions and the rice had a really ugly colour. I don’t know how anyone can eat this, seriously. We couldn’t even distinguish between the normal chicken biryani and the grilled one, they all looked the same. They did not even mark on the boxes which...
