Beware: Extremely Spicy Biriyani - A Disappointing Experience

If you're considering trying the biriyani from this place, I urge you to proceed with caution, especially if you have a low tolerance for spice. This isn't your average spicy dish; it's on a whole new level. The heat is so intense that even those accustomed to spice might find it overwhelming.

Upon my first bite, I couldn't taste the nuanced flavors that make biriyani delightful. Instead, all I could discern was an overpowering blast of chili paste. It's as if the dish was designed solely to test your spice endurance rather than provide a satisfying culinary experience.

For anyone claiming the spice level is manageable, I seriously question their taste buds or their pain threshold. This isn't about enjoying a flavorful meal; it's about surviving the onslaught of heat.

If you value tasting your food more than feeling the burn, I'd recommend steering clear of this particular biriyani. It's a letdown for anyone expecting a balanced blend of spices...

We have been regularly visiting and ordering from Bawarchi Indian Cuisine. They maintain good taste consistently. A few times I noticed the chicken was not fully cooked in the dum biryani, but overall the quality is fine.

They are famous for their Dum Biryani and Fry Piece Biryani, and they never disappoint. The appetizers are also very good – I usually order Cut Mirchi, Kaju Chicken, and Karivepaku Chicken.

As the restaurant is in a bit of a remote location, you don’t see many dine-in customers even on weekends, but there are lots of takeout and online orders. It also looks like they are short on staff, so sometimes there are delays with service for both dine-in and takeout.

Recently, they started asking if we can pay in cash so they reduce the bill amount. Is this to avoid credit/debit card charges or evade HST? Not very clear.

Overall, a good place for biryani lovers with consistent taste, but expect some...
