Discover nearly 90% of Karachi’s most popular biryani and pulao joints. We’ve visited each spot at least twice to give a fair verdict.

Here’s my honest review, rated out of 10:

Beef Biryani & Pulao – Top Picks

1. Allah Wala Beef Biryani (Tariq Road) – ⭐ 8.5/10 Once a solid 10/10, but still among the best in town. Rich aroma, good balance of spice.
2. Allah Razi Beef Nalli Pulao (Korangi) – ⭐ 8/10 Used to be near-perfect at 9.5/10, still offers juicy nalli and flavorful rice.
3. Bismillah Beef Pulao (Shah Faisal Colony) – ⭐ 8/10 Consistently good taste, perfect for pulao fans who like a balanced flavor.
4. Ghosia Hyderabadi Beef Pulao (UP More, Car Sunday Bazaar) – ⭐ 8/10 Another solid and consistent pulao, worth a repeat visit.
5. G. Shabir Beef Pulao (Baloch Pull) – ⭐ 7.8/10 Consistent quality, decent serving.
6. Green Chilli Beef Pulao (Akhtar Colony) – ⭐ 7/10 Extremely spicy! Great if you love extra heat.
7. Ghosia Beef Nalli Biryani (Liaquatabad) – ⭐ 6.5/10 Once a legendary 10/10, sadly dropped to average level.
8. Mazaidar Haleem (Burns Road) – Beef Biryani – ⭐ 6/10 Used to be 8.5/10, now disappointing in taste and quality.

Chicken Biryani – The Hyped Spots

1. Al-Rehman Biryani (Kharadar) – ⭐ 7/10 A decent, balanced biryani. Not extraordinary, but enjoyable.
2. Jiddah Biryani (Boat Basin) – ⭐ 7/10 Good taste and portion size.
3. Allah Wala Biryani (Tariq Road) – ⭐ 7/10 Solid chicken biryani, though beef version is better.
4. Biryani Nagar (Tipu Sultan) – ⭐ 6.5/10 Average, good for casual cravings.
5. Naseeb Biryani (Mahmoodabad) – ⭐ 6.5/10 Balanced but nothing memorable.
6. Farhan Biryani (Pehlwan Goth, Safoora) – ⭐ 6/10 Very simple, standard taste.
7. Al-Naaz Biryani (Mahmoodabad) – ⭐ 5.5/10 Weak flavor, below average compared to others.
