Authentic! Staff are polite, the menu are easy to scan. The food, excellent! Here's what we ordered: Vegetable samosa - not oily and has nice chunks of vegetables, tastes good on its own, served with yogurt dip Pani puri- first time trying it, and is now a new found favorite . Upon serving, the server gave instructions how to properly eat it, kudos to that! Hummus - smooth texture , spreadable, not too salty and good serving size. Can be shared! 1 order is served with 1 pita Beef curry - tender beef in aromatic curry a bit watery but still superb. We paired it with pita. Then we tried their special karak tea, we love it! Best way to end the meal with a flavourful tea. They have special mixed drinks but we opted for service water. The restaurant is new, it's clean but I think, it needs a make over. My verdict: INCLUDE IN YOUR NEXT MANILA FOOD CRAWL.

It was pleasant to be at The Biryani story Blumentrit branch. I tried tea which taste as like tea of Nepal and India . I tried pita bread(Roti in our language) with Butter chicken Masala. Which not only fulfilled the crave for authentic indian cuisine but also made me feel good and happy with the taste and Aura. Friendly staff is the next amazing thing. 101 in hygienic and cleaning. You see perfectly set up clean tables warmly welcoming. Do visit The Biryani Story if you are nearby! Highly recommended place in Manila, Philippines.

I recently tried The Biryani Story and ordered their Beef Biryani. The beef was incredibly tender and packed with rich, flavorful spices. The side of fresh cucumber added a nice, refreshing contrast to the meal. It also came with a pitcher of water and a creamy white sauce that complemented the biryani well. The service was excellent, with the staff being attentive and friendly. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy a delicious meal. Highly recommended!

I ordered the beef biryani from The Biryani Story in Manila. The rice was fragrant and perfectly spiced, with each grain fluffy and flavorful. The beef was tender and rich, cooked in a well-balanced masala that brought heat without overpowering. A solid choice for biryani lovers craving authentic flavor in the city.

We love all the food that we tried here! We tried all varieties of their Biryani and Lamb Biryani is my favorite. Their Masala and Paneer is super good too. Generous serving. Just dont expect much about the ambiance and it's not airconditioned. But we dont mind, we went there for their food and it's a 10/10! Dined in more than 5x already (that's how delicious their food is). Food is authentic as it gets! Would definitely recommend this Indian Restaurant.

Been craving for Indian food, so we went ahead and tried The Biryani Story. Please note that there is no parking in front of the resto. We had to park at Sun Mall, which is only a few minute walk. Beef Biryani - It was a bit dry; could've had more sauce on top, but it still tasted good. Best to order solo if you're not heavy eaters and will try other menu. This one was the larger option, so we had leftovers. Chicken Panipuri - so this was the famous panipuri snack. Crunchy good, tho I would'nt say I was mindblown by the taste. Samosa - I think this was my favorite! Fairly big serving for one samosa, and had a lot of stuffing. I probably would just want like a yogurt sauce to maybe balance out the flavor. Hummus and Butter Paneer Masala with Pita bread - Masala was really good. Hummus was soso. For 5 dishes and 3 cokes, we paid around 1300 php. I think that's a good price for everything that we ate, with a little leftover on the side.
