What people say, in short
Go for the Hyderabadi dum-style biryani with generous chicken and adjustable spice; several say it beats Meghana's.
Biryani Zone is one of Bengaluru's most-recommended biryani spots, with locals praising its Hyderabadi dum-style biryani, generous chicken portions, and adjustable spice levels. Several commenters say it beats Meghana's, and one from Hyderabad calls its taste the best overall. The HSR Layout branch is a frequent pick, and outlets in Sarjapura, Nagawara, and Marathahalli also get mentions. Caveats: one regular found the keema mutton biryani only okayish in both quantity and taste, another says it has declined from a decade ago and is overhyped, and one dismisses it as just spicy rice.
