Amazing biryani & Haleem. Would be nice if the chef stays around late to try their fresh naans.
Only improvement for Mr. Zaheers amazing biryani would be add potatoes to give it an authentic Karachi taste.
I'm a regular customer at Student Tasty Biryani & I've always enjoyed their food, especially the chicken paratha roll. However, today's experience was extremely disappointing.
The paratha was clearly stale & not fresh at all, & the sauce tasted really off it completely ruined the roll. I've never had such a bad paratha from them before, which made it even more surprising.
It's frustrating because when you're a loyal customer, you expect consistency. The quality of food should be the same whether it's dine-in or takeaway, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case today.
Very disappointed. I hope they seriously work on maintaining their standards.

quality has dropped unfortunately, non-veg thali used to be great. Recently ordered & the curry was completely watered down with the two smallest pieces of chicken in each. Also they somehow completely burnt the inside of a samosa. Such a shame, used to be my go-to place.
I came here a few times before & enjoyed their food. This time not so lucky, I waited 1h15 (not joking i checked the time of my receipt) for a chicken byriani when the store was empty. The owner was kind enough to give me a free drink, but my mood was pretty bad. I was gonna give it a 1 star but I saw a few boxes filled with takeout orders, so they might of been really busy. Anyways I'm not gonna back to this place.
I plan to return to enjoy this little gem of a place again. The service was friendly & excellent. The food is full of wonderful flavours & the portions are healthy. It is a small venue not set up for large groups but at the same time well worth the trip!!
Popped in for a late lunch. What a great little place. The front desk person is incredibly genuine & the food was amazing! Very generous portions! Highly recommend it!
Not only has the quality dropped over time (using white rice in biryani for volume for example), if you order through DoorDash & spend over $100, the promo they provide for $10 reward is not respected. I tested it out & the store keeps cancelling my order every time I add the reward. Disappointed but not surprised. The prices are also around 30-50% higher. DoorDash has also confirmed that they have flagged the merchant for similar practice with other customers. It's too little of a value for OPC to be involved but at least rest of you can be aware.

We've been trying to order from DoorDash since yesterday, but our orders are consistently canceled. If you're unable to place an order simply close your account access instead of reopening it each time. You're wasting our time.
?? Edit: I called & they told me they hadn't accepted my order since yesterday because of the $10 discount I received for spending $100 at this restaurant. It's completely unacceptable to make money off their customers like that.
My friend suggested me to this store & he told that the food is perfect like 10/10 & let me tell you something he's right
It is perfect i strongly recommend this store 👍
I eat biryani from here regularly! Their chicken biryani & korma are my favorite. The prices are also reasonable. Usually I order in Uber. Last day I visited the restaurant physically. Totally deshi vibe, all the stuff are friendly. They treat the customers well.
