Reviews of THE BIRYANI ROOM
from GoogleStumbled upon this place while out running errands and wanted to give it a try. Ordered a few different items (chicken dum biryani, chilil chicken, chicken momos, goat biryani and chicken triple fried rice). Food had lots of flavour and some good heat (spice) to it. Nice biryani with a bit of a smoky, heavier flavour to it. The momos were delicious. The triple fried rice is something I've never had before and I enjoyed it. Service was quick and friendly, offering water while we waited for our takeout. Nice vibe in the restaurant, with a fair amount of tables/chairs.
My friends and I had such an incredible experience here. The food was flavourful, well-portioned and the biryani was the best I’ve had. The masala chicken lolli was also so unique. The service was great too! We had the opportunity to chat with the Biryani Man and he gave us some dessert to try from his other restaurant Mowgli’s Cafe. Definitely going to have to visit that one soon. Truly a fantastic experience:)
My Search for the best Biryani in Calgary is finally over. This place hands downs wins, I enjoyed every bite and didn’t want to stop even when I was full. We also got the lolli pop chicken which is was really good as well and so were the momos. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu and will definitely be back.
We ordered the Veg Biryani and Veg Momos, and both were absolutely delicious. The biryani was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and had just the right balance of spices. The veg momos were fresh, soft, and paired really well with the chutney. The portion sizes were generous, the food tasted fresh, and the overall experience was amazing. If you’re looking for delicious vegetarian food, this place is definitely worth visiting.
10/10 Biriyani. My god this chicken biriyani was delicious! Very well priced and a clean place.
Biryani was a fusion of Hyd and Kolkata for sure. Hit all the flavours perfectly cooked and portion is generous and well presented. Not the same taste.
The chicken drumstick lollipop was a massive letdown and not at all what you would expect from this dish. Instead of the classic Indo-Chinese style, it was literally just boiled chicken with some basic spices thrown on top. To the restaurant: if you are going to put an Indo-Chinese item on your menu, please actually prepare and cook it the right way. Super disappointed.
Awesome Biriyanis. The best in Calgary
Visited The Biryani Room on August 15 and ordered chicken momos, chicken biryani and chicken triple rice for dinner. The chicken triple rice surprisingly didn’t have any chicken in it. When I asked, I was told the chicken was only in the gravy, which was served separately in a very small bowl. That was really disappointing. The biryani and momos was just average as well. Overall, I was a bit disappointed and this may possibly be my first and last visit. Also, I asked for a receipt after making the payment, but their printer wasn’t working. They took my email address and said they would send it, but I never received it.
We Had an amazing experience at The Biryani Room! 🤍✨ The food was absolutely delicious—full of rich flavors and perfectly cooked. The biryani was fragrant, well-seasoned, and packed with tender meat that just melts in your mouth. We also tried the momo, chicken dishes, and special fried rice—everything was incredibly tasty and well-prepared. Every bite felt authentic and satisfying. The portions were generous, and you can really tell they put care into every dish. Huge appreciation to the kitchen staff for preparing such incredible meals, and to the server for being so friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Their great service made the whole experience even better! If you love flavorful, comforting Indian food, this place is definitely worth trying. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back! 🍽️🔥
About THE BIRYANI ROOM
On 9 Avenue SE, the Biryani Room is a takeout-friendly Indian kitchen known for smoky dum biryani and momos, and all of its meat is halal.
What to order
The biryani is the main draw: boldly spiced, with a smoky, rich flavour and large portions. Try the chicken dum biryani or the goat biryani. One diner called it the best biryani they had eaten, and others call it fragrant, with some good heat.
The momos are the second specialty, so get some as a starter. The chicken lollipops and the chicken triple fried rice are also worth ordering, and one visitor found the masala chicken lollipops unique.
Good to know
It works well for takeout, but there is a fair amount of seating if you want to eat in. Service is quick and friendly, and staff bring water while you wait for your order. There are vegetarian options too, such as the veg biryani and veg momos, which one diner found fresh, soft and full of flavour.
