What Clients Say

★★★★★

Student Biryani is a Sydney institution and for very good reason. The Lahori Fried Fish paired with Chicken Biryani is a beautiful explosion of flavours — crispy, golden fish with fragrant, perfectly spiced rice. The fried chicken is fantastic too. Great prices, fast service, and a meal that genuinely transports you straight to the streets of Lahore. Don’t understand how they only have 4.2 stars!

Bought both the Chicken and Lamb Biryani — both were superb. I prefer the Chicken Biryani for its depth of spice and perfectly cooked rice. The Raita was decent, and I was really impressed by how well the Mango Lassi was packaged for delivery — zero spillage! Great food despite a longer wait. Absolutely worth it. A cult classic for a very good reason!

I’ve been getting takeaway from Student Biryani for years. The new Indo-Chinese menu is a fantastic addition — I tried a few dishes last week and they were outstanding. A great blend of two culinary traditions done with real confidence. The classic biryani and haleem remain as good as ever. This place just keeps getting better!

Great prices, fresh and authentic food. Have usually taken away and eaten inside once only. Mostly international students or recent arrivals — they know their biryani! The Haleem is rich, mushy and deeply satisfying, and the naan is soft and fluffy. Better than cheap South Asian spots and considerably cheaper than upscale ones. A perfect balance of quality and value!
