We ordered 2 Vijayawada biryanis through Uber Eats, which had a Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer. But what we received was extremely disappointing.

Each biryani came with only 4 tiny pieces of chicken and a very small portion of rice – definitely not what you’d expect from a biryani regular. The size was closer to a mini-meal, not a full biryani.

It feels like the portion size was cut drastically just because of the BOGO offer. That’s misleading. If the restaurant can’t provide a standard portion at the discounted price, it should clearly mention that. Otherwise, it’s just tricking customers into thinking they’re getting a deal.

We’ve had better experiences before, so this was a real letdown. Honestly, we would have preferred paying for a regular biryani if we knew the BOGO one would be this small.

Please don’t misuse offers to reduce quality and quantity. This kind of approach damages trust, and we won’t be ordering again.

The restaurant is really good with different flavours. Shrimp dynamite and street style chicken noodles is a must try. The staffs suggestions were good.

We ordered food to eat, before we started our road trip. Was very impressed with the food and the hospitality of the staff. To-go only, so we sat in our car and ate the food. Will definitely come back.

Ordered 6 count of vijayawada biryani. Each biryani quantity is very low like 4 pieces of small chicken and very small quantity of rice in each biryani. This is not the usual size of biryani that would cost 15$ each. Ordered from uber as it has buy 1 get one 1 offer.

Would never order again. There is no mirchi ka salan gravy provided. For 6 biryanis . Only 3 small quantity of raita provided.

Total disappointment. In uber it costed each biryani as 15$ and they gave buy 1 get one offer .

I have not see this much low quantity of biryani costing 15$ in any Indian restaurant

Never recommend . Attached the pic of the quality of chicken and biryani . Please don’t cheat customer with the offers.

Even combining all 6 count of chicken biryani, does not even equal to one normal quantity of chicken biryani . Each biryani cost 15$ . Total waste of money . I would have given a zero star rating. Please don’t play with customers.

This location is take out only. Guys are friendly, always busy and always good food. Love the biryanis and good info Chinese options

The keema biryani was a total showstopper! Every grain of rice soaked in the juicy, spiced minced meat — bursting with flavor in every bite. The keema was perfectly cooked, tender, and blended beautifully with the aromatic masalas. Not too greasy, just the right heat, and incredibly satisfying. This is comfort food with a royal twist!

The veg spring rolls were perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, with a flavorful and crunchy vegetable filling inside. Each bite had the right balance of spice and texture. Served hot with tangy dipping sauce, they made the perfect appetizer or snack. Light, tasty, and satisfying — a must-try for all snack lovers!

🌟 Best Biryani Ever! 🌟
The biryani was absolutely delicious — every bite was packed with rich, aromatic spices and perfectly cooked rice. The meat was tender and flavorful, blending beautifully with the masala. The aroma alone was enough to make my mouth water. Authentic, satisfying, and unforgettable — truly a biryani lover's dream. The manager was too polite. I highly recommend 👌

I always enjoy our food from The Monk’s.
The momos are a must. We get them EVERY time. Also really enjoy the biriyanis and currys.

It was raining last night and my mood was all over the place.
Felt like having something hot, so I ordered masala tea and drums of heaven from this place.

First sip of the tea and I was instantly relaxed
felt like having street chai back in Hyderabad.

The drums of heaven were just next-level
crispy, juicy, spicy – everything on point.

Honestly, food like this on a rainy day just hits different.
Definitely recommend trying the masala tea!
