Golden Rice Hyderabadi Biryani Restaurant - Devour Food Hub — Restaurant in Quezon City

Went back here with my partner after three years (first time was with my mom and niece and it was still in pandemic, they had limited food on the menu that time). I could say they have improved the quality of their food! I remember when it was my first time dining, the "mild" spice was non-tolerable for people with low spice tolerance. But now, they understood it! Still, the Mutton Biryani is their #1 dish for me! It was so good! Their buttered chicken was one of the best's I have tasted in Manila! Now they also have pani-puri and it was delicious! Hindi tinipid sa sauces! I could say, they are still the best Indian food in QC or even in Manila.

However, for the service—think they have to improve it more. They are attentive and the food was served in less than 20-30 minutes but some of servers are too loud, shouting and laughing inside the kitchen and even on the cashier area. It was TOO LOUD that dine-in customers would hear it. Particularly, one attendant (woman) when we ordered extras, although she came quickly, she was talking aloud with another attendant (man) from the cashier, so in the middle of our order, she would casually shout back to her co-employee which we found displeasing. They are accommodating but I would like their staff to become more professional when attending to customers.

Yun lang naman. The rest, exquisite! 12/10 food...

Summary: Delicious food, ample serving size, okay service, but cleanliness could be improved. Would recommend!

Had the Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani, Butter Chicken, Vegetable Samosa, and lassi.

The chicken biryani was flavorful and moist and the basmati rice was fluffy and well-cooked. The serving size was pretty good (almost half a chicken cut into 3 pieces), but you may find the rice a bit lacking. The accompanying sauces were okay, but the yogurt sauce was a bit too thin and watery for my liking (yogurt mint sauce of the samosa was equally watery).

Butter Chicken looked small, but it was actually filling. It had a really nice flavor: I like the smoky taste of it! The accompanying naan were nice and buttery, too.

Vegetable samosa were good and hot! Make sure to ask them to adjust the hotness level if you can't take the heat. Lassis were not too sweet, which is a plus for me.

The staff were friendly and accommodating. I had a bit of trouble calling the attention of the server due to how my tables was positioned and where the staff were stationed. Aside from that, service was good.

My only complaint would be on the cleanliness. My table and the "floor seat" still had some food on them when we...

After seeing the sights all day I was absolutely famished. I had learned about Golden Rice Hyderabadi Biryani from the many food blogs I had read in preparation for my trip and the reviews were excellent so I decided to find out for myself. Our group was greeted by friendly staff and ice cold beers were served up in seconds! We ordered mutton biryani, chicken biryani, butter chicken, fish masala with paratha and pani puris. The rice was fluffy and full of flavor and the meat was very tender. The sauce in the butter chicken was thick and rich and coated the juicy chicken perfectly. The fish was equally well cooked but the highlight was the masala sauce. My mouth was instantly covered in garlic and ginger deliciousness enhanced with all those delicious authentic spices. I wiped the plate clean with the paratha which was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The staff were very attentive throughout and nothing was too much trouble. The experience is heightened by the carefully selected decorations which greatly add to the ambiance. A fantastic meal, and the best biryani I’ve ever tasted - and I’ve had biryanis...
