Biryaniwala - Dominion Rd

Situated just above the bustling Dominion Road, Biryaniwala invites the local Mount Roskill community to relish in the authentic taste of the royal desi delicacy: The Biryani.

The menu is peppered full with traditional Indian dishes from onion pakoras to dosa. From the specialist dosa section, the plain dosa filled with spiced potato curry is definitely a safe bet but if you are in a fiesty mood, then go for the dragon chicken and risk it. The Biryani is served in true Hyderabadi style, layering the rice and meat together to cook, locking in all the delicious flavours. Choose from either marinated lamb or chicken. Just remember to take a big sniff before you dig in.

With two other branches across Auckland in Papatoetoe and Henderson, Biryaniwala is clearly doing something right. It certainly has the locals' seal of approval, that chilli chicken is pretty fiery! So next time you're craving an authentic Indian feast, make your way to Dominion Road to be spoilt with a variety of dishes and flavours.
