Bikkgane Biryani — Restaurant in Mumbai

Well, the cloth bag that the food came in was huge! And stained with oil! While some of us were worried of the oil, I didn't care much!

Unexpected portion size of almost everything!

Had ordered Half plate of Boneless Chicken Biryani Half plate of Chicken 65 Biryani Butter Chicken (comes in full only) Two portions of Garlic Naan. (Pls note. Swiggy has options of Garlic Naan, while Zomato doesn't) Double ka Meetha

Add-Ons - extra Mirchi Salan.

The garlic bread was aromatic and delicious (filled with garlic, which I love), and the butter chicken was overflowing with oil (as seen in the image) but it was darn good in taste, spice and sweetness combined.

The Chicken 65 Biryani was really nice, just one thing I wondered was why was there a cornflour coating to the chicken pieces, well, that too was really tasty, nonetheless, but I'd genuinely have preferred the South Indian styled chicken 65 pieces.

The boneless chicken biryani was on point. Juicy pieces of meat, aromatic rice and filled with flavors from their spices.

The Mirchi Salan went well with the biryani. The raita was fresh, although more of liquid, but good. A slightly little bigger container would be better.

The double ka Meetha was a small let down, I've had the original, as well as the Shahi Tukda, and I know it isn't double ka Meetha. Although it did suffice as a dessert with good quantity of dry fruits. The portion size of this was way too small as compared to their other dishes.

Summarizing it, the taste was on point! None will be dejected, so is the portion size of the main courses, rice section and bread section. Not so great with the dessert part, but does a decent job.

All in all, the experience was brilliant and...

I had eaten this biryani few months ago and I would have sworn that it was the best Biryani you would ever eat. I wanted my dad to taste it to so when he was in town I ordered it. The handi serving that I recieved turned out to be handi of disappointment. The clay pot was just for show. The biryani didn't fill the pot completely. it was half filled. You will only get one chicken piece in this serving so don't expect to a decent portion of chicken. The proportions of the gravy and rice is about 1:4. so you will just have to eat dry rice. Don't worry they compensate the lack of the same with raita so that is taken care off. If you want to order it for just the sake of the cheap pot then go ahead but I'm never eating from here ever again nor will I suggest anyone about this place. Which reminds me I have to go tell my friends to...

Update Sep'25: I regularly order biryanis from here but lately the taste has been inconsistent. The same item tastes very different on different days, and at times it even feels like they’ve sent a different biryani than what was ordered. The egg garnish that used to be part of all biryanis is also missing now.

That said, on a good day you can still get absolutely lip-smacking biryanis, especially the Boneless Dum, Pepper, and Lucknowi Chicken.

Jun'24: I have placed multiple online orders and really love the consistency of flavour that they deliver. I recommend Special Chicken Hyderabadi Biryani & Pepper Chicken Biryani. Dum Hyderabadi Biryani is okay. The flavors are enticing and I am tempted to explore more items...
