Dum Biryani House

This place is a little gem, serving select but authentic Indian cuisine. Their Dum Biryani is amazing in taste and presentation. The biryani comes with delicious raita with crunch okra in it and mirch based curry. Under the hood (you’ll know what I mean) there is long basmati rice with more than enough chicken cubes and a freshly boiled egg. A must visit if you’re in central London. The place is compact though It does get quite busy. They need to use more waiters cuz I found myself waiting quite long to order dessert and chai. Also WiFi is quite spotty and didn’t even connect for me.

A tiny place on Wardour street that's easy to miss! This is located in a basement with a small doorway that with stairs that leads you downstairs to the restaurant. The dining area is small but can fit a small crowd. We ordered a lamb shank and a small chicken buriyani with a mango lassi. The lassi was thick and creamy and had blended cardomom in it however was bitty and a bit overwhelming. The buriyani took about 20 mins to arrive, arriving in piping hot dishes sealed with puff pastry. Upon breaking the seal we were surprised with steaming hot rice and meat packed with spicy flavours, similar to the traditional tastes from home. The lamb shank had a lot of meat, with so much spicy flavours and aroma. Even though I was very hungry, I had trouble finishing it. The chicken was boneless, soft and moist and packed alot of flavour, spices and fragrances too. Service was great with the staff clearing up or replacing the water without asking. Thanks for a pleasurable experience which I will do again someday.

The underground restaurants in soho are what the area is all about. And this is an absolute gem. A shining ruby of a restaurant. The kaleidoscope of colours and smells hits you as you walk in, leaving you in no doubt you’re about to have a good time. And you will, friendly fast service, mouth watering dishes and waiters who advise and guide you like true pros. I’m coming back. And eating it all again.

Authentic BIRYANI - Hyderabad styled SLOWLY yet carefully cooked marinated meat and rice in a sealed pot over 2 hours! This is one of the place @SOHO , I would definitely recommend for those who 💖 and savour the taste of spicy BIRYANI. Great Ambience - Underground steps leading to - Rugged look of the walls plus graffiti and the floor along with sodium vapour lamps are 🔥 🔥 🔥 Good taste comes with the price ££ tag!! GM is very welcoming and proactive. Suggest HALEEM ( heartwarming spiced stew of lamb 🐐 and lentils ) + DUM biryani along with BAD-ta-MEEZ pint of crafted 🍺 beer. 💯% satisfaction guaranteed. Recommended for families/friends All smiles 😃😃

Great food, good value and very nice staff! The weekday lunch biryani was fine, good value for money. I’m told the a la carte biryani is better. I was struggling to rate with the 5th star but the friendly, polite and efficient staff was reason enough! Right in the middle of the busy Oxford Circus-Soho area, ambience inside is nice and quirky

Lovely place .. could imagine it would be really big when I first saw the door to the entrance. Disclaimer-Very busy restaurant so please be prepared to wait. Really friendly staff, the person who designed the place did an amazing job to make it give a good Indian diner feel and the artworks are super funny. Loved the authentic way of serving food in steel/aluminum and the names of menu in Hindi (this is appreciated simply bcz we visited from Germany where this doesn’t happen) finally the food and value for money is very good. Ordered two dishes and was not disappointed. Even a vegetarian has options to choose from 😀.
