"So WHY chicken? I was curious yet hesitant when we were still about to try this "roasted biryani chicken" since YES I do eat biryani but I don't really consider it because of spicy piquant taste. BUT this Why Chicken definitely will change your thoughts about it. ONE thing I like about this, is that they have separated the spice/condiments/or (what do you call it) making it more KID FRIENDLY biryani and not really the typical pungent taste of biryani. SECOND the chicken is roasted. and I would say it compliments biryani rice. THIRD? You guess Now I know why people crave this all the time. I hope they don't change their price. I'd say they deserve a restaurant that people can dine too."

"We finally tried this famous biryani chicken from metro manila. We just message their facebook account since they have long lines during dinnertime. They accept reservation for orders through Gcash payment and you have just to pick it up. It’s really helpful to avoid the long queue! The chicken is big and perfectly cooked! Juicy and flavorful. Hindi nakakaumay. I usually hate herbs because of their overpowering flavor but this dish was an exception, it complemented each other. Biryani rice also is not soggy. I love their sauces! The white sauce has that yoghurt flavor with not overpowering garlic taste. Their spicy sauce is with the pinoy side taste buds not too spicy! I can say it’s worth the price! The best chicken biryani in town! I hope they can have biryani rice meal good for one person I would love to order this during lunch. Always order in advanced na lang talaga para easy peasy lang."

"It was good. Got good flavor. Not great as the hype surrounding it. The chicken was not that juicy as expected. For 300pesos the chicken, rice, and 2 sauces was worth it. Will definitely come back. 8/10"
