"Had the paneer starter and 1x bucket each. 1x chicken and 1x mutton. Both high quality and you can tell the effort they put in serving a tasty biryani. Could only finish half a bucket so portions are good. Service was excellent too. Best biryani I've had in a long time."

"GR Bucket Biryani is absolutely amazing. The biryani is rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and very aromatic. The rice is soft and well-cooked, and the meat is tender and juicy. Every bite feels satisfying and authentic. The bucket portion is generous and ideal for sharing, making it great value for money. Packaging is neat, and the food stays hot and fresh. Overall: Outstanding taste, great quantity, and a must-try for true biryani lovers."

"I traveled all the way from Birmingham to Coventry to taste the asli mango lassi which tastes like heaven, it tastes same like lassi back in India, some of the dishes I tasted was kollimalai pepper chicken and chicken lollipop biryani tastes different compared to other biryani shops in Birmingham and Coventry. The aroma and texture of biryani satisfied my journey. The staff here Nikitha garu served at her best, and main at the point the suggestion of food is appreciated."

"We ordered Chilli Chicken and Prawn 65 to start, followed by Mutton Keema Biryani and a mango lassi. The Prawn 65 was outstanding—crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The Chilli Chicken didn’t quite taste like the usual version; the gravy had a rasam-like flavor with lots of mustard seeds, but it was still tasty in its own way. The highlight was definitely the Mutton Keema Biryani. It was so good I ended up finishing the whole thing—easily one of the best I’ve had. The mango lassi was thick, refreshing, and the perfect way to end the meal. PS: This is my sixth time ordering the Mutton Keema Biryani. I usually order it through Uber, but this time I visited the restaurant directly, and it was just as amazing!"

"Probably the best Biryani I had in Coventry. Spice level matching with Indian level. My go to place for Biryani orders. Definitely recommend this place. The prices are decent, the quantity of meat they provide in the biryani is much high, although the rice is less and could have been more. Don't visit with a mindset of having Hyderabadi Dum Biryani or any other famous styles, rather visit with a mindset of having some good biryani and you would enjoy it for sure."

"Came to Hinckley for the weekend getaway and searched the best biryani places around and got this one as the top suggestion especially for the mutton biryani. Geared up and went there to taste it and wasn't at all disappointed. The taste and quantity were too good and the ambience too. Anyone visiting Coventry and searching for good biryani must pay a visit there for sure. Their dessert was also very good and the pepper chicken as starter was really spicy and to the Indian standard. Been impressed thoroughly and would be visiting again to taste other varieties as well."
