About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Norristown, PA, Biryani City stands out as a vibrant destination for lovers of authentic Indian and biryani cuisine. This culinary gem invites diners on a sensory journey, where fragrant basmati rice, expertly blended spices, and tender meats come together in signature dishes like their celebrated Chicken Biryani and Boneless Chicken Dum Biryani. Every spoonful delivers an intricate layering of aromas and flavors, from the subtle smoky nuances of original dum-style cooking to the rich, savory chicken pieces that melt in your mouth.

Biryani City’s menu is a treasure trove of South Asian delights, catering to a wide spectrum of palates. Vegetarians will find comfort in hearty options such as the Dal Fry—a velvety Toor Dal cooked with garlic and chili—or the zesty Channa Masala and Aloo Gobi Masala, which burst with bold, earthy spices. For those seeking variety, the range of freshly baked breads complements every meal perfectly. From the soft, buttery Garlic Naan adorned with cilantro to the multi-layered, flaky Kerala Parotta, each bread offers a distinct texture that elevates the dining experience.

Beyond the biryanis and curries, Biryani City excels with regional favorites like Butter Chicken, the fiery and crisp Chicken 65, and the tantalizing Afghani Kebab. Unique appetizers like Deep Fried Anchovies and the Indo-Chinese Gobi Manchurian add playful twists that keep the menu dynamic and exciting. To balance the spice, refreshing beverages like the creamy Mango Lassi and fragrant Rose Milk soothe the palate, providing a perfect finish to the meal.

The dining atmosphere at Biryani City reflects the warmth and authenticity of its food. Whether you are visiting for a casual lunch or a festive Dosai Party, the welcoming staff enhances your experience with attentive, friendly service that feels genuinely personalized. Guests frequently praise the generous portion sizes and the consistently fresh presentation of every dish, which ensures satisfaction from the very first bite to the last.

Customer testimonials echo this sentiment enthusiastically. Adam John highlights the “fragrant and flavorful” chicken biryani paired with the “tender and creamy” malai kebab, applauding the combination of generous servings and attentive service. Grace’s rave review draws attention to the perfectly seasoned, crispy chicken 65 and the richly flavored goat biryani topped with fried onions—a signature touch that adds exciting texture and depth. Regular diners like Alex D’Abbene find comfort in the familiar warmth of the restaurant’s ambiance and menu, calling it their “go-to place for Indian food.” Others emphasize the authenticity and balance of flavors, especially praising the lamb and chicken biryanis for their tender meats and aromatic rice.

    We visited Biryani City and absolutely loved it! The chicken biryani was fragrant and flavorful with the perfect blend of spices, and the malai kebab was tender, creamy, and packed with taste. The portion sizes were generous and everything was served hot and fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. If you’re craving authentic biryani and delicious kebabs, Biryani City is a must-visit! Service Also Really Good Thank you we loved it.......

    We ordered goat biryani and the chicken 65, both at the maximum spice level. Both dishes were delicious with fantastic flavor and great spice levels. The chicken 65 was perfectly crispy and juicy with good external seasoning. The goat biryani was very flavorful, and it was a good serving size with a good amount of goat pieces. The fried onion on top was a very good touch. I also thought that both dishes were fantastic value for the portion size that we received. I also really liked the service we received. The waiter was very friendly and accommodating. He checked on us multiple times to ask how the food was and if the spice levels were good. The restaurant was also very clean with a nice ambiance. Bring cash for a discount. I definitely plan on returning.

    We ordered Apollo Fish, Chicken Majestic, Chicken Biryani, Goat Biryani, and Chicken Manchurian. Every dish was absolutely delicious! This was our first visit, and we had a wonderful dinner. We’ve tried many restaurants before, but we’ve never tasted biryani like this—the spices were outstanding. Along with the amazing food, the service was excellent as well.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! We ordered Cut Mirchi, Chicken Lollipop, and Chicken Manchurian for appetizers — all were incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked. For dinner, we tried both the Chicken Biryani and Paneer Biryani, and they were absolutely delicious — aromatic, well-spiced, and generous portions. The service was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Indian flavors with top-notch hospitality!

    I had an awesome experience dining in here & absolutely loved the food. Shiva took great care of us as well as holding down the rest of the place in a orderly fashion on a busy Friday night. Even though it was busy with many people dining in as well as picking up/calling in orders, the wait for our food was not long at all & it was made beautifully. For an appetizer we ordered the delicious Gobi Manchurian which is a crispy & tangy cauliflower dish that is a must try for all-the sauce on this is to die for! My entree was the Vegetarian Biryani which was a huge portion, fresh, & full of flavor. I would definitely love to come back again & I recommend it to all! Thanks again Shiva for the wonderful service!
