A professionally managed A-Class resturant in Industrial Area. Great Dining plesure and lingering taste of foods. Friendly and well trained staff. Attractive Interior. A great chance to experience varieties of biriyanis with traditional tastes....little more about history of biriyanies.......History of Biryani
Biryani originated in Persia and might have taken couple of different routes to arrive in India

Biryani is derived from the Farsi word 'Birian'. Based on the name, and cooking style (Dum), one can conclude that the dish originated in Persia and/or Arabia. It could have come from Persia via Afghanistan to North India. It could have also been brought by the Arab traders via Arabian sea to Calicut. We know the history little better during 1800 to 1900. During Mogul empire, Lucknow was known as Awadh, giving rise to Awadhi Biryani. In 1856, British deposed Nawab Wajid Ali Shah in Calcutta, giving rise to Calcutta Biryani. Aurangzeb installed Nizam-ul-mulk as the Asfa Jahi ruler of Hyderabad, as well as a 'Nawab of Arcot' to oversee Aaru Kaadu region (Six Forrests) south of Hyderabad. These moves gave rise to Hyderabadi Biryani and Arcot Biryani. The Biryani spread to Mysore by Tipu Sultan of Carnatic. Needless to say it was a royal dish for Nawabs and Nizams. They hired vegetarian Hindus as bookkeepers leading to the development of Tahiri Biryani.

Besides the historical facts, the story gets little fuzzy with legends.
One legend has it that Timor, the lame brought it down from Kazakhstan via Afghanistan to Northern India. According to another legend, Mumtaz Mahal (the beauty who sleeps in Taj Mahal) concocted this dish as a "complete meal" to feed the army. Yet, some say the dish really originated in West Asia. The Nomads would burry an earthen pot full of meat, rice and spices in a pit, eventually the pot was dug up and there was the Biryani.

WE WELCOME ALL OF YOU TO ENJOY GREAT TASTE OF REAL BIRIYANIS AND ALL OTHER TANDOOR SPECILITIES....COME AND ENJOY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

If someone wishes to eat Biriyani with its traditional taste in Qatar, you can go to Biriyani House. I am not sure how many types of Biriyanies they serve but I tried 3 (Hydrabad Biriyani, Sindhi Biriyani & Chettinadu Biriyani) in last 10 days all were really delicious. Also I would like to say that we didn’t had a quality restaurant in Industrial area until recent past but NOW WE DO…!!!

Hey Biriyani House guys… You are doing good, keep it up

Note for improvement: Kindly take necessary action to reduce the time between ‘Taking Order’ & ‘Food Delivery’ considering the busy customers you have at industrial area.

I had been there with my family twice in last 2 weeks. An excellent place, we really liked their food (Delicious Biriyanies). Also their interior is great. We are living at industrial area since last 3 years and we were not having a decent place nearby. Suits for family gatherings and other get together.

Appreciate BH management for opening an executive class restaurant in industrial area. I suffered alot to get good food in industrial area since the day I joined in one MNC located in industrial area street No: 22.

I don’t know much about biryanis. Even though, the biriyani i had yesterday was really delicious. It was Chicken tikka biriyani.

The interior is really cool. Superb customer Care.

The comments of our guest about their food and services were really good. Everyone enjoyed the party.

They are tooooooooo good.
