A lovely and clean Indian-style atmosphere.
It was a Sunday and the service was extremely slow - we, a table of 5 were the only customers but food took about 45 minutes to arrive, aside from a couple of takeaway orders.
This may have been because one of the chefs was not on duty. Biryani - the restaurant's namesake was unavailable as were some of the other dishes. One of the dishes we had ordered, the server forgot to tell us it was unavailable. We only learned after 45 minutes when all the food had arrived.
The food was great though - served piping hot, everything was cooked well, and the flavours were spot-on. One of the best Indian takeaways I've been to in the UK, in terms of flavour. (P.s. I'm Indian). The lamb chops tasted nice but the pieces weren't, - they didn't't have a lot of meat on them unfortunately.
Recommended dishes: Pakoras, masala chips and chana chaat

We throughly enjoyed our meal. They have a great choice of dishes and a menu for children. They were extremely hospitable and kind. We had vegetable pakora, gateaux piment/daal vada, chilli paneer, and chicken seekh kebabs for starters, and chicken biriyani, daal, and naan for mains. Dishes were excellent value with a special deal on Thursdays and Sundays. They can cater to your spice level. Portion size was amazing. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. Will be returning. Must try!

Meal tonight to celebrate our son finishing his exams. Rather than get a takeaway, we thought we'd eat out and gave Biryani Boy a whirl.
Very friendly atmosphere, no rush on ordering and lots of advice about items on the menu.
We went for a lamb kebab in chapati, chicken kebab biryani, lamb biryani and the lamb tapas.
All very flavoursome, well presented and decent sized potions. The only reason for a 4* rather than 5* on the food was too many sides on the lamb tapas - chapati, samosa, pantras (I think - like a spring roll) and lamb kebab, plus the lamb curry and lamb biryani. One less side and something like a dhal would have been more balanced.
But that's a minor complaint. We had a great meal in a restaurant with an atmosphere I can only describe as like going around to someone's house for a meal - just very chilled and friendly.

The food was stunning before, the best Biryani I've every tasted, but now they've added a Thali menu (small plate/tapas style) and this takes it to another level.
I love it here for eat in or take away/delivery.
If you eat in you get such a warm welcome, and if you run into the owner he will be able to tell you the story of how they started out, where some of the dishes originate, oozing his passion for his business and his food.
