Most Popular Biryani Restaurants In Namma Bengaluru. Best Restaurants For Spicy Andhra Biryani In Bangalore.
Widely famous for their Andhra & Hyderabadi style of biryanis, Nagarjuna and Meghana Foods are often pitted against each other. Without surprise both these eateries have a devoted following, most who swear-by the biryanis.
Nagarjuna, an establishment that was set up in the early 1980s serves two Andhra-style, dum biryanis, a Mutton and a Chicken while Meghana Foods, a relatively new eatery serves an array of biryani to choose from, the most popular of which is a spicy, Chicken Boneless Biryani.
In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers Editor, Kripal Amanna, tastes both biryanis at Nagarjuna and three of the crowd favourites at Meghana Foods, reviewing what makes each of these biryanis special.
In conclusion, he tells viewers what could be the biryani for them based on their preferences!
GOURMET ON THE ROAD RATINGS
CHICKEN BIRYANI
studded with a fair bit of whole spices - cloves, cardamom and cinnamon, which gives the biryani rice a fulsome flavour that serves well to embrace the chicken.
rs 265
8/10
MUTTON BIRYANI
the rice is similar in flavour to the chicken biryani, but the spices here seem more accentuated. The meat is soft, you can taste the gamey flavours of the fat.
rs 305
8.5/10
CHICKEN BONELESS BIRYANI
made with long grain basmati rice, each grain is separate. topped with boneless chicken morsels coated in a thick, spirited masala, this is a biryani you can definitely share.
rs 248
8/10
CHICKEN DUM BIRYANI
served with a leg of chicken that is coated in a savoury, caramelised onion masala that threads through the long grained rice. the meat is cooked to the bone and is flavourful. a biryani that leaves you more than satisfied!
rs 242
8.5/10
MUTTON BIRYANI
the spicing in meghana biryanis is apparent on the palate, but absent on the plate. one sees no hint of any of the spices that have gone into the dish, but you can taste its presence. the masala in the mutton biryani is mellower than in the chicken version, allowing the flavour of the meat to take precedence.

Seen many food vlogers..He is the only one who teaches how to feel..taste and enjoy the food which is boon.😍😍
Thank you so much, Santosh. Take care and stay safe.
Respected sir ji ,I am a huge fan of meghana's food boneless chicken biriyani.i started to order biriyani after watching this episode,felt two hundred percent satisfied. Whenever we order biriyani online ,it will be meghana's food boneless chicken biriyani.I WANT TO THANK U SIR
I was posted in Mumbai for 6-7 months couple of years back, food was such a big challenge. Really missed great biryanis (Donne, Andhra, Chetinnad) and good andhra meals which is available in very nook and corners in namma Bengaluru. Bengaluru ROCKS.
Mumbai food is also pretty good. Maybe didn't suit your palate.
Mumbai's food is the best..You get better south Indian food in Mumbai's matunga dadar areas where it's even better than Chennai or Hyderabad's south Indian food...
@@anishpenujuru1707 will try next time, thanks, hope its reasonable.
@@nirankartripathi yes it's damn cheap..Mumbai's food is the most reasonable you will ever get..
Yeah Andhra food is super tastier 😋😋😋
In bangalore,every nook & corner u find "andhra restaruants" which r soooo popular. Being from andhra.....iam toooooo happy😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
@Vijay krishna 🙂🙂🙂🙂
Its andhara style hotel owned by non andhra people,i love blr andhara style.
Man you have some real good hand eating skills. Never thought to see someone eating with his hands can be so satisfying. I used to think mine is pretty decent but learnt a lot from you. Great Vlogs by the way. Am hooked in for couple of days straight.
Hand eating skills? 🤨
Man.... I love andhra foods.... Telugu foods r just awesome....
The way you hold the rice in your hand is actually great.
I too had that in mind !
The camera man is a true professional 💯
My Favourite.... Meghna Boneless Chicken Biryani. Miss this since many years after moved to Mumbai 😎
I miss meghana's boneless chicken biryani ❤️
I was surprised that only a 8 n 8.5 that the biryanis were rated, though these are excellent scores. My personal experiences has mostly been 9+ each time in Meghana, especially the Jayanagar 4th block Meghana Foods and this is for the past 8-9 yrs at least. All these 8-9 yrs, it has been maintained consistently in terms of quality and their hygiene factor....
Nagarjuna is more the Rayal Seema biryani in my opinion and probably 'Nandhini' does a slightly better job of it. Andhra chilly chicken is the dish to try in Nagarjuna... the best I have had ever....
Great review as usual Mr. Kripal and I like the way you summarized it end of day
Indiranagar Meghna and Nargarjuna are also good
Got my dose of vocabulary 😅.
At first glance, I read your dose as 'dose' (dosa)... The effect this channel's had on me..😂
@@afifa8623 lol 😂
@@afifa8623 😆 food lovers effect
😂
😂😂🔝
These both are my favourite restaurants and actually Meghana foods has an edge over Nagarjuna bryani 😜
Isn't it a crime to post the link of this video during lockdown Kripal? 😢😢

Meghan's boneless chicken biryani gets ONLY 8/10.... seriously... It's 11 for Meghan's fans like us... U need the appetite for the spice n a sevenup
Have been loving Nagarjuna's biryani for the last 15 years, specially from the Koramangala outlet...i think it's the best Andhra Biryani in town. Ate the boneless chicken biryani from Meghana only once and swore never to eat there again although it's a stone's throw away from my office. Just too spicy for me but i am told that's exactly why some people swear by it. Thanks anyways for covering my favorite Andhra Style biryani in Bengaluru, i.e. Nagarjuna Koramangala
Personal experience, biriyani's at standard restaurants lack the authentic taste whatsoever.
Which place do u recommended
Which place do u like
That's true
My favourite non veg restaurant in Bangalore is Nagarjuna, love their Biryanis & starters.
They are not dum cooking it. They cook both rice and meat separately. Same rice will be served with all variety of biryani just by adding meat on top of it
Andhra style of biriyani is not the kachi biriyani. Mostly its partially dum cooked. And sometimes like the pulav the rice is cooked completely with chicken. That's the reason u dont feel like eating regular dum biriyani.
@@hrishikeshkav1945 I agree broo.. My favorite Andhra biryani and pulaos
I so badly want you to try the local delicacies of Hyderabad.Nobody is as good as you in terms of presentation.
I'm sure you'll love the diversity of food in Hyderabad.
Hyderabad dishes are more or less dead except haleem. Outsiders with weird tastes spoiled it. The restaurants adopted to the new invasion of customers who only believed in hype and demanded more masala etc. The restaurants discovered that these people only needed rice meat and more spice. taste was secondary for them.
Sir I am from Delhi and I really love to see you on the screen with your amazing reviews of the great food.
Both are my favourite restaurants when I was in bangalore.
Missing and craving from them badly 😢
Seen many food vlogers..He is the only one who teaches how to feel..taste and enjoy the food which is boon.
Thanks for covering Nagarjuna sir . it is anytime the best in Bangalore . Quality and taste assured. Pineapple bits adds that extra taste to biryani which goes unnoticed by many. My favourite restaurant.
I feel hungry whenever I watch your videos..very well presented 🙌
For me Anna- Nagarjuna is the best anna...
More than Biryani, Nagarjuna is famous for Chilly Chicken, you missed to taste that dish.
Guntur Chicken
Agree hands down, its the chilly chicken to go for....I mean chilly chicken gets a thumbs up, 'hands down'
@@mohitmahawar007 next day motions
Nagarjuna chiken is good
Yes missing it so bad Andhra green chilli chicken
Hello Kripal sir I wanted to say ur love towards food is shown the way ur showing Like ur channel growing. My suggestion plz take care of ur health after eating so much biryani u need to have tea or pan it stabilises ur acids in the body, all the very best
I love meghana biryani wish they open in USA too
Personally for me it's Nagarjuna biryani any day
Aromatic flavourful and just so yummmm and does not leave you feeling bloated after a meal
Same
All those people...saying you missed that, you missed this,..why don't you personally visit and vlog about it.
I agree
Lol true😂😂😂
Meghana Foods, all day any day. The boneless chicken biryani, sets the benchmark for all other biryanis in Namma Bengaluru. Like Kripal pointed out, it's the most refined yet enjoyable biryani I've ever had in all my years in Blore. Love it!
Sir, when you talk about spicy biryani. You should do try Kritunga biryani... It's the spiciest biryani I ever tried.
Please sir don't record while driving. We want to see more from you and don't want any accidental break. Love your food vlogs 💟
He is not the one recording
U can find both hotels at opposite site near brigade...
I prefer Meghana's biryani!!!😋😋😋
I knew the diplomatic verdict at the end is coming...
Its like Android & iOS where the reviewer doesn’t declare a clear winner and says :”It all comes down to your personal preference”
I always love Nagarjuna food! Always hot, spicy and well made Andhra food in Bangalore.
Honestly Nagarjuna Biryani taste more like Palav rather than Biryani.
Meghana Boneless chicken biryani rocks. It is more close to a biryani than the former one.
Love the attention of waiters behind your back at Meghana's
And I'm here at 3:30 am in morning 😭
I love Meghna's style biriyani....its really awesome and it taste like andhra style
Nagarjuna is my favourite.
Sir I have not seen many people enjoying food as you do. Also the way you use vocabulary is excellent. Grear Kripal sir....
Fantastic channel....!! I like the way u explore and present food.
The way he tells, my mouth was watering like anything 😋🤤
If anyone says anything against Meghana Boneless Chicken Biryani, then we cant be friends ..
I tasted the Chicken Biryani at Nagarjuna Restaurant of Marathalli, it's amazing, full of aroma, juicy chicken.Lastly it will give you a inner satisfaction.
Had many famous joint biryanis in blore, but meghana chicken less biryani is the best of all..
Also Deccan Spice, outer ring road, mahadevapura.. Got tasty chicken curries and best phulkas
Thanks for one more experience of your food tour. Buy the way the second (Meghana) biryani seems to be not dum. Since the chicken and Mutton are not cooked along with rice.(it looks like that since the pieces are coated with lots of Masala). But looks to be tasty .Any way your eating style made me very hungry. (Since it may not be possible to bring chicken/Mutton and prepare in house because of Dussehara😣.. I will surely go out and have it in a hotel😊) . Thanks again for sharing. God bless you. Keep it up. 😊🤗🙏👌👌👍❤
Kripal - visit to Calcutta to explore all sorts of foods. You need to have Atleast 5 days to complete. Lets plan it after lockdown .
Watching this on shanivara 😣..Sunday come fast
Meghana hands down
I personally prefer Nandini or Nagarjuna Biryani
Expecting to see you in kolkata someday!!!… The way you explain the food and its culminating history(a tedious homework for you😀) , looking fwd to such a series on food from different places outside karnataka.
I think that's not pine apple you have tasted there... It's most probably cooked raw papaya used as a tenderizer for the mutton... Anyways it was a pleasure watching 👍
Ya correct
Sir, you should taste the Prawns crispy fry @ Meghna's. Its delicious.
We love all your videos. The one person who’s enjoying the work .
Eating five Biryanis for one lunch! Good presentation and videography.
Hey guys this person is pretty famous and commands respect don’t compare with that Lalitha jewellery owner
I watch kripal's videos to improve my vocab skills... ez
My favourite is Nagarjuna Biriyani any day …..
how many guys recognized the word mellow in his each video..mellow hahahah
Eating First biryani at 12 noon and then again at 2 pm... Whoa ! Is it on the same day ?
You ended the vlog by telling stay safe ❤️ But Is that safe using mobile or shooting video when you are driving??? Stay safe Kripal 😊
I am n bangalore from past 2 years , I love Meghanas biryani ,Nagarjuna's veg meals in afternoon superb place
Oh man.. the way u describe the food,is articulated soo well.. looking at u eating and listening to those fathomable words is enough to make their palate wet...
Nagarjuna biryani is Nellore style and Meghana Hyderabadi dum style. Both different versions. I m surprised this was not discussed anywhere. Both are very good. My preference would be nagarjuna
This use to be my favorite place ( Meghna Biryani) . weekly 3 to 4 times i use to visit .
I am a vegetarian but also I watch every video just to learn some food related words
are u a foodie
I'm also
Me also
eat mutton
A series on Pubs of blore

Down town
Near jay nagar 4th black there is a good cafe serving irish coffee tainted with dar cheap whisky old traven but serves a great apple pie
Scottish pun n noon wines serving fresh glass of wine with cheeze cherry pineapple n gobi manchurian
Even museum road has a great chinese resturant
Even mac fast food serves great stroganoff
Ebony at barton centre has lost its exclusive ambiance on my recent stint but it was a delight to be seated on outer sitting seeing entire Mg road with great cuisine
I have ate in both restaurants ..no difference for food lovers both are same because we should accept any style of recipes.... because we die for biryanis 😂😂
Thanks for that. I also like nagarjuna. In addition I like navayuga at majestic, hyderabadi biryani at murugeshpalya, and hyderabad chefs at marathahalli too.
And I can clearly say by looking at you, you are born just to justify this proffession nothing else.
Hi Kripal, the way you eat with hand full is awesome, looks more interest in having the food.
Absolutely
I can’t have one biryani fully.. how can he eat two biryanis in Nagarjuna and three biryanis in Meghana 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You should taste "Nati chicken biriyani" at Meghana. 😋 That's a must have.
Koramangala/Jayanagar Meghana biryani
Indiranagar Paradise biryani
Grew up as a kid in Secunderabad near to the paradise circle..I was no stranger to Biryanis,infact it was not a big deal for me..
that all changed after I had shifted to Bangalore..been searching for decent biryani here in Bangalore and settled partially for meghana's biryani...
but then I went back home for a holiday and went to paradise circle,walked up to the garden top and got my hands on paradise's chicken biryani..I kid you not..the burst of flavours and how the chicken was cooked so delicately got tears to my eyes..
Melting my mouth 😛..and sir why don't give love reaction in your subscribers comment
Nagarjuna Biryani is heaven
Reminds off my good old days in blore wen we use to feast on
Nagarjuna
N on my recent stint of blore we tried both places
I feel quality at nagarjuna has detoriated
But i look forward to see a cover on Fanus a good old joint for beef rolls chicken rolls
Taipan a good old chinese joint
Cezars old fyn dinning
Chalukya hotel resturant
Serving peas pulav n dat spicy cashew gravy is the recipe i m wanting to know
I mean for quantity its Meghana for sure and its tasty too only thing is theres no spice I felt.. the boneless pcs need to be mixed though..
Nagarjuna is extremely tasty but 1 full biryani one can easily finish its not enough for 2 like Meghana but both are ❤
You should have visited both hotels located in Residency road.. kormangla hotel taste is not good..
True residency road is the best
I like Nagarjuna
All the biryani for all branches are made in a central kitchen .
@@rishikeshprasad7652 I am not sure of this
I liked that prawns biryani when I bought it from Koramangala,the aroma,flavour was good...not too spicy plus quantity also was good...
Was about to suggest you about these restaurants. Thanks for the review Sir
Sir ur words are mouth watering more then dishes. Love ur words
I never tried Nagarjuna. But Meghana biryani is one of the best I have ever tasted.
I don't think anyone can explain better than him. What an explanation.kiduos to him.
Hi Kripal. Happy New Year to you n your team. I am Mangalorean too. I really like your healthy sense of food appreciation. It's nice to see you enjoy tasting so much food around the place. Which tummy does it go into ? Great to see you lean. Keep it up.
Happy new year to you, Tricia. Thank you for your kind words. 🙂🙏
Nagarjuna😍😋
That piece of pineapple was used to tenderize a tough cut of mutton!!
Sir please try Hyderabadi chef at Marathahalli. You will not be dissapointed.
Please visit & taste chikpet SGS gundu palav also.
Awesome taste in sgs😍
Love from Andhra ❤
Sir try on kerala's malabar chicken biryani...... It's soooo awesome... We being from andhra and loved hydeeabadi biryani.... We're in no words when we tasted kerala's cuisine I mean their authentic biryani... Where u can just simple spice flavoured plain biryani ..... It's more than enough... U even dont think of gravy or veggies or raita..... I am missing it a lot..... I wish kerala's authentic malabar biryani is served in our local restaurants and hotels as well..... Like our hyd biryani...
@S 😋😋😋😋😋😂😂😂
Ordered Meghna's boneless chicken biriyani and must say that the overwhelming masala aroma actually did not gel! Also the chicken pieces were tasting like diluted rubber! May be its because it was a take away. Who knows it would have tasted much better in the restaurant! Because you dont get 4.3 star rating for nothing!
Both r my favourites 😭😭
Craving for biriyani now and am not in Bangalore.
i prefer Megana biryani because the taste is outstanding and my whole family loves MEGNA FOOD ITEMS
