Resto Bar - Biryani Barbeque Chinese By Borivali Biryani Centre — Restaurant in Mumbai

If you're in North Mumbai and looking for a place with ethnic decor, good lighting, and a decent crowd, this is the right resto bar for you. It's a great spot to chill out after work, during weekends or to have a get-together with family.

The ambience catches your attention as soon as you enter with attractive plates forming a decorative display. The comfortable seating complements the overall atmosphere, and prompt service leaves no room for complaints. This resto bar is spread out over two floors, with the top floor being the most popular. It's best to arrive early and book your table to ensure you get a spot since it tends to get crowded in the evenings.

We started with a few mocktails like Blue Lagoon INR 210, Mint Mojito INR 350, Lemon Iced Tea INR 160. The drinks were perfect and refreshing, and the taste was great. For those who aren't fond of spicy cuisine, the Chicken Jehangir Kabab priced at INR 375 makes for a perfect starter. The chicken chunks were marinated in cream and spices before being grilled to perfection, resulting in tender and juicy pieces. Various sauces were available on the table for you to customize the taste to your liking.

Then, we had Murgh Noorani Kabab INR 485, which is chicken stuffed with mutton keema and cheese, coated in tandoori masala to give a tandoor-cooked flavour. However, it was under seasoned and did not do justice to this signature dish.

We ordered Chicken Dragon Chilli, an Indian-Chinese dish that cost INR 380, it contained a mix of Indian spices, as well as Chinese ingredients like soy sauce and vinegar. The dish had a tangy-sweet flavour.

Our main course choices were Chicken Dum Biryani priced at INR 365 and Prawns Biryani priced at INR 420. The former is a basic chicken biryani with the right ingredients, making it less spicy and more flavourful. On the other hand, the latter is an ultimate all-time favourite with juicy prawns and ample gravy, making the entire dish moist and melt in the mouth.

A special mention goes to the desserts that we had, Sizzling Brownie priced at INR 295 and the Caramel Pudding priced at INR 125, both of which were perfect and ended our dinner appropriately.

I deducted one star from the rating due to the ground floor washroom being located outside and having a poor approach.

Thank you for joining me on this culinary journey. From the first bite to the last, every dish was a symphony of flavours that left me satisfied and longing for more. Accompanied by four others, we enjoyed the entire spread that came to INR 4250. The impeccable service and cozy ambience only added to the experience. This restaurant truly exceeded my expectations and I cannot...

Borivali Biryani Centre (BBC) it's located 🗺️ in Borivali West, we visited the one located in Eksar. As the name suggest, the restaurant is well known for its Biryani 🍚 and mostly non-veg food. It's a family 👪 place, where you can enjoy the slow music 🎶 and talk properly with the others. From the entrance till you reach your table you will find staff greeting you with smile ☺️ and welcoming you and guiding you with the option to sit.

I was not able to explore much of the dishes here but as I am a tandoor person, we ordered accordingly.

Russian Salad: It's basically a veggies with mayonese and black pepper alongwith boneless chicken 🍗 shredded pieces. It's enough for 2 and it is sweet in taste. I'll not recommend in case you are not a group of 3-4 as it's sweet in taste and you cannot complete it easily.

(I don't remember the name) : It's a chicken tikka piece, covered with the same masala gravy and cheese. The taste of cheese will mix with tikka masala and it's enough for 2-3 people, they will be offering you 6 pc. in it.

Chicken Tikka Biryani : So I did one mistake here, in starter and in main course both places I ordered chicken 🐔 tikka (chicken tandoor dish) so in case you are planning for chicken tikka biryani 🌾 them definitely explore the appetizer section. I loved the taste of Biryani, you can find friend onion sprinkled on top it and boneless chicken tikka pcs.

So overall it was the lovely experience but I'll suggest to go with a big group so you can try and explore more of the options...

We had tomato, chicken manchow and paya soup. The quantity was decent and the taste was good. We even had tandoori and prawns chilly. The tandoori was fair and didn't have that peculiar taste that's expected out of a tandoori serving. On the contrary, prawns were decent both in terms of quantity and quality. Since the place is known for biryanis, we went with high expectations. But were served disappointment. We had ordered prawns biryani and chicken dum biryani, of which the chicken biryani was less than average and the chicken was not properly cooked. Surprisingly, even here, the prawns biryani was appetizing and savouring. When we brought the half cooked chicken to their notice, they waived off the dish's cost. I had ordered iced tea which was average and out of peach and lemon(mentioned in the menu) only lemon was available. We even had caramel pudding as a dessert which was fine and savouring too but we found it a tad overpriced as compared to the other dishes. The ambience is good and spacious with ground plus one seating arrangement. The interiors are distinguished and modern with warm lighting that lit the entire space. In brevity, the interiors and ambience looks inviting, aesthetically pleasing, and feels on-brand.

Great in terms of service. Overall a decent place for friends and family get togethers. The place has a good, (approved for females) kind of washroom...
