I have to say, their beef samosas are the best I’ve ever tasted. My kids love them so much they have me drive over 30 kms from my home just to have them. Their hot table looks awesome as well. The food is fresh as there always seems to be a line up to buy it.

Not a fan of the Biryani. Too Dry

They are good but can be better in taste. Consistency matters, and this is where most of desi restaurants fail. Biryani is nice, and seekh kababs were OK. The intensity of taste in qorma and karahi, isn’t there. The taste felt similar. Will suggest them to focus on a few items, and make them best.

So people normally complain about how much they spend versus how much they get. Biryani king is very affordable and very filling! They have a variety between chicken, boneless chicken, lamb(i think goal and veal as well?). They also have other dishes like butter chicken and kebabs. The biryani experience is kind of a hit and miss. At times the rice to meat proportion is more but otherwise there is a well balance between protein to carb ratio. By default it is spicy. It is an order and pickup service, not an establishment where you dine in. there is also a bit of waiting involved at times after you order. Service is also a hit and miss as well. At times the service is great but at other times your orders could come out wrong and you’d need to spend like a few minutes explaining to them but i haven’t had an experience where they were full out rude. It is a decent take out place. You get a filling amount for what you pay for and I’m satisfied most of the time. If you are in the mood for biryani and don’t want to spend $$$ and want to be filled, i’d recommend this place.

Ordered goat biryani and chicken biryani both very spicy. Take out quantity was good but the chicken/goat qty was less. Also, spice was missing in biryani. It was mild biryani. I would prefer it when I don’t want to eat spicy.

The beef Samosas are good. But the staff is rude. They constantly mess your orders and refuse to change them, blaming you, on top of that wait times are ridiculous. The lady working the cash has no idea what she is doing.

The price you pay for the biryani you get is a steal. The portions usually come with a good amount of meat. The wait is usually never long. The selection of dishes is not great but the prices make up for that. They run out of a lot of the food which can be frustrating as only half the already condensed menu is available. The quality of food is average but you wont be hungry after. Great for a quick dinner idea. One night i was served chicken that was in fact a little raw.

Take out place, no sitting. Tried to call in advance but without response. When we got there, their excuses was because they were busy and was unable to answer calls. We ordered a chicken Bryani and an order of fish. Only 2 customers before me but still had to wait over 15 mins. Apparently they were making a fresh batch of Bryani which we got lots of rice, with 3 pieces of chicken. Pre-made fish was cold when we opened it in the car… If you don’t mind waiting standing up, worth the wait. Will try their other location next time.

I love biryani, more like obsessed with it. i can eat it every meal every day. I love their biryani, goat biryani is my favorite. Rice is cooked to perfection in my opinion. And the portion is huge. $ 6.99for that is great. But also because of the portion and price, there won’t be a lot of meat. Sometimes it’s spicy but I love spicy food, it’s not an issue. Didn’t try much other food because Evey time my eyes were on the biryani. Definitely need to try if you like rice.

I placed a relatively simple take-out order: 2 Chicken Tikka Masala 2 Butter Chicken 2 Tandoori Chicken 2 Fish(yes, it’s just called«Fish») 1 Naan, 4 pieces When I got home I discovered that I received: 2 Chicken Tikka Masala/Butter Chicken(they look exactly the same) 1 Mystery dish(had pieces of chicken and vegetables, no sauce) 2 Tandoori Chicken, STILLRAW on the inside. 2 Fish .75 Naan, 2 fresh pieces, 1 already cut piece A few things: — They should post either photos or descriptions next to their menu items to educate their customers. I was thoroughly confused as whether I received 2 Tikka Masala’s or 2 Butter chickens. — If someone could explain this to me, I would be very grateful. Are there different versions of Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken that do not contain sauce? — UNDERCOOKEDCHICKENISINEXCUSABLE. — Fish is tasty but not fried fresh. Actually, nothing here is made-to-order. Everything is pre-made and just dished out. — I was told that a single order of naan had 4 pieces. I was given 3 and one was not fresh, very disappointed, don’t give me old food. I’m paying just as much money as the next person. — They should have an order tracking system. They have absolutely no way of matching an order to a customer. If all they do is take-out, you better make sure that the correct customer is leaving with the correct order. I very well may have been given an order that did not belong to me. Based on a previous experience where I ordered Shrimp Biryani and Lamb Biryani each of which had less than an ounce of Shrimp or Lamb in it I will not be returning. I will be seeking out other establishments or be making my own to get my Indian food fix.

Garbage tasting food. People only like it because they are broke and get a lot, i mean a lot of bland artificially colored rice with very little meat.

A good take out place by the passport office. No fuss at all, just basics. There is one cashier behind the counter and the menu on the wall. Got the order within 5 minutes and it was nice and hot. Samosas are a little bit more than competitive pricing $ 2.50 for 3 but they were great. I could actually taste the morsels of meat and it had a slight kick of spice, but wouldn’t kill my non spicy eating friends. The dough on the outside was also thin, so the meat to carb ratio was good. Chicken Biryani with bone was under $ 5. She accidentally rung up the boneless one for $ 2 more, but after I insisted I really am ok with the bone in one(I like the fatty pieces of chicken) she changed the order back. Huge take out box filled to the brim with rice with 2 big pieces of chicken and a nice chutney. Good spice again! If I’m in the area I’d definitely swing by for another cheap lunch! They also have a few curries I’d like to try!

They got the name right for this one! This has to be the best biryani I have ever had. This is a takeout only joint. Their regular biryani, with a chicken leg and a thigh piece, comes in a styrofoam box filled to the brim(and I am not joking about this… it is completely packed!). Also, it is freaking cheap. just $ 5 without taxes. They have two spice levels: spicy and mild. I always get the mild since the spicy has too many chillies… and yes it is Indian spicy! I have tried out their other offerings… the sheesh kebab is just OK, the fish is meh. I wouldn’t really spend my money on those. The lamb biryani is delicious too. The service at this place is a bit hit or miss. Sometimes the lady at the counter is in a good mood but sometimes she is just rude and impatient. It is worth the drive to Brampton just to eat the biryani though!

Best biryani in town for the price. Large serving which two can share if not too hungry. Use to be in the busy part of the plaza but with Indian consulate office now gone, much easier to access. The kitchen was noisy like another Unilocaler stated. I couldn’t tell if they were arguing or just accustomed to making people in the front uncomfortable

This take-out only gem is just giving food away. Well not giving it away for free but you pay next to nothing in comparison to other Pakistani/Indian joints. They are operating on India prices(I haven’t been to Pakistan but I am quite certain it is similar price points). The average dish here costs $ 5 and some of the flavours and quality of food is definitely worth more. Chicken Biryani — moist, flavourful and the take-out container is so full I have no idea how they even close it. Many restaurants will charge you $ 10+ for biryani and it won’t be this tasty. They also have veal, lamb and shrimp biryani among others. Keema Samosa — luckily they came out fresh when we arrived to pick up our order and we took 9! Moist, delicious and well packed samosas. Beautiful mince beef, thin and crispy pastry, deep fried, a must. Butter Chicken — extremely sweet, honey sweet. Tasted like a dessert. Would never order again but some may like it. only $ 5! Lamb Karahi — delicious flavour but extremely oily. Still, would order again. Nihari — The layer of oil on top was maybe an inch thick, would never order again. Probably the worst nihari I have had, but not a fair statement cause I’ve had mostly outstanding nihari’s. Chicken boti — a special for the day and although salty, super tender and tasty. Nice char marks from the tandoor. Seekh Kebab — Nothing special to me. Lahore Tikka House has completely spoiled me when it comes to kebabs. These are crumbly and not how I like my kebabs. I prefer them smaller and cooked through better. I prefer tender chewy, not tender crumbly. Dal — yellow lentil, on the thick side, well seasoned, would order again. Channa Masala — I prefer darker curry bases and this was much lighter, maybe because many of the chick peas broke up. Very tender and seasoned well. Naan — I’ve had much better but this does the trick. A little much on the thick/chewy/stretchy side but still a decent naan at the end of the day. As I mentioned at the beginning, this is some of the best Pakistani/Indian cuisine you can get for the price, I can’t believe how cheap it is. You can get a decent menu online if you google for it but when you go into the storefront the menu is much bigger. Another plus is they wrap the styrofoam containers with curries in saran wrap. If you are on a budget or not, it is worth trying.

Slightly less than 3* ’cause I waited like 10−15mins for a regular Chicken Biryani. Don’t they just scoop rice and plop a coupla pieces of chicken in a styro container? Note: Take-out ONLY! Adjacent to Rona, this place is literally a counter, with some snacks, and a cash register on it. With the exception of a coupla benches & chairs, there is no seating whatsoever. Yes, prices are cheap. A regular, i.e. «with bone», Chicken Biryani was $ 5.50, including tax. Boneless/lamb/shrimp was more expensive, $ 6.99, before taxes. Biryani was one of the better ones that I’ve had, even raita was good. However, service is sloooow. I stood in front of the cash for a few minutes before my order was taken.(There was a girl grabbing some snacks out of the showcase, but she never acknowledged me.) Actually getting the biryani was even slower. Amongst the noisy workers in the back, I thought I heard one worker exclaim, «There wasn’t fresh rice!!», so I’m assuming that they had to cook more. Lady who took my order never said anything to me about the food coming soon. If I was in the area, very unlikely that I’d be deep in Brampton, and I was craving biryani, I wouldn’t rule this out. Having said that, I wouldn’t drive out of my way either!

If you have even the slightest idea of how good biryani should taste like, you wouldn’t miss out on this little gem. Be assured that your taste buds will thank you after you have finished the meal while the pleasure center in your brain will be wildly wagging his tail like a mad dog. I’m serious. Good food as it should be, no fuss. Handover the 5 bucks, take your box, say thank you, leave the place and you tell me what happened next. Awesome job guys, keep up the good work. You guys are a slap in the face to all those overated and expensive places selling biryani that tastes like crap.

Wow! Portions are unreal… 10 bux got me a heaping mound of baryani and 3 of the best samosas ever… nice and spicy, delicious and the chicken is amazing. If you are on a budget, one order of baryani could fill up 2 people no problem. No doubt the best value for money i have ever seen in all food categories. Yummy x 1 million!

A great Pakistani restaurant locally. Really good biryani, a bit spicy for me, but still enjoy it. They have good kabobs, and karhai’s. Always packed with people catering food, or just picking up a single serving of biryani.
