I ordered grilled fish, it was the worst fish ever I had in my life. Too hard too frozen, grill way back at least 2 days ago and then just heated on Owen and served. Please skip this restaurant.

Was not a big fan of Nasi Biryani but I have to say this is the best one I ever had in Singapore! Ordered the young mutton Briyani and it tasted so good, the meat/mutton was juicy and so tender without too much fat. The rice were fragrant, noticed there were traces of various spices in the rice and nicely steamed, the texture was fluffy enough but not sticky. Finished off with a cup of refreshing mango lassi and had a happy full tummy. The only downside was the service, the lady at the counter was quite unpleasant and grumpy as of she had a bad day. I think it's been highlighted repeatedly by the other reviewers but it hasn't changed, it's quite a turn-off. Hope they are willing to improve sooner than later.

Tried the vegetarian biryani. Potatoes were undercooked - a big no. Service isn't that friendly. I'll try the fish biryani on my next visit.

** I’d give the Biryani and Paneer 4.5 stars but the rest of the food was disappointing, hence why the lower score ** Casual place with good biryani, a small portion for 6$ is also great value. Masala paneer was tasty, not oily and well cooked. For $10.5 they could have added more paneer cubes. Do not order naan (the picture speaks for itself) - I don’t know why they even call it that, it wasn’t naan. The beef kebabs were a fail, over cooked and tough - it seemed like poor quality meat, too. I would return if I was craving paneer or biryani.

Went today as my friend had cravings for Nasi Briyani and I thought, why not let’s try a Michelin bib Nasi briyani. When I first entered the shop, it was that crowded and then when I looked at the prices, I realised why.. but since we were there, we decided to give it a try. Ended up paying close to $50 for 2 large briyanis and 2 drinks. Truly the most expensive briyani I’ve ever spent on. The portion size and overall quality was definitely not worth that $50. For a lot less, I can enjoy a bigger portion and in my opinion, tastier briyani. So will I go back again? Definitely not.. same verdict my friend gave. But if u really want to splurge and try a Michelin bib briyani, no harm trying!

I have been eating for 2 years and my last order was yesterday for me and my friends. Pros: Tasty food with sufficient quantity Price is competitive Briyani is must try Cons: Location will feel odd if travelling via MRT or bus. Final thought: If you are looking for tasty food especially Briyani with good service then this is a good option to try.

Bismillah Briyani (BB) is truly the number 1 in Singapore. My friends and I have been tasting >100 briyanis in Singapore over a period of 2-3 years. BB alone, we tried 3 different branches. Doesn’t matter where, the taste was consistent. If you have someone visiting SG and you’d want to take them to the best Briyani in town, this is it. Mutton / kid goat Briyani is #1 pick on the menu. Chicken’s #2

Not crowded at all for weekday lunch. Recommended by an Indian colleague of ours, the briyani was amazing. Not oily at all, and they cook the meat (chicken/mutton etc) together with the rice so the flavour is infused. Instead of curry, the briyani is served with this yoghurt dressing on the side. I liked that you can pick the size there as most briyanis are pretty huge in portion. The standard size is regular, but if you’re a small eater you can get a small sized one. A must try there is the kulfi, a very cute milk based ice cream that’s herb-y and topped with pistachio. It was my first time trying AND I LOVED IT Fairprice please sell it in your frozen foods section thanks.

Pav bahji was the BEST! Others were just so-so. They don’t have a kitchen inside, so all dishes are precooked

Worst briyani I ever had. So much for Michelin? Ordered a $24 lamb briyani for delivery large one, only came with 4pcs of meat with bones and it was also damm dry. 300gm of rice and 100g of meat. Nothing else. Tasteless rice. Standard drop so much. It was super good at the main outlet until I tasted this which I don’t even bother eating. Never ever order or go this stall again, zero standard. 7eleven briyani taste even better. Please go at your own risk.

Mutton Briyani - a bit wet but comes with nice big piece of meat. Really tender - Mutton Curry

I think ever since they move, the place becomes a lot less crowded (not crowded at all). My Indian colleague recommended this place. The biryani was nice. It comes in the typical biryani portion size, so I'd recommend to order the small portion if you have small stomach.

Service was bad. Made request for none breast meat. Still was given. Curry gravy which is a basic necessity in briyani also not given. Yet being rejected when I request for it. Don’t understand how their Michelin rating came about. Will not come again

We were expecting a lot as this restaurant has a Michelin Bib. When we walked in we were not greeted, the staff was incredibly rude. There was nothing authentic about the food, everything lacked flavour and did not taste good at all, it was not authentic Pakistani food. The hallem tasted like camphor and the nann was store bought. Everything felt like it had been reheated in a microwave hot on the outside cold on the inside. I would never recommend anyone to eat here it is a shame to the Pakistan culture and cuisine. Michelin should have nothing to do with this restaurant. What a joke. Service was the absolute worst, the staff laughing at us after ordering and asking for take out containers. We felt totally unwelcome in this place.
