What people say, in short
Mast Biryani is a biryani brand with several outlets around Guwahati, and it comes up again and again when people ask for the best biryani in the city. Fans single out the chicken kebab biryani, the makhni murgh biryani and the Kolkata-style dum biryani; others like the classic chicken biryani and the paneer biryani. Most recommenders don't name an outlet, and one says it tastes consistent across them. The pushback is real: several find some of the biryanis too spicy, one says only the Kolkata one stands out, a vegetarian diner is disappointed that potatoes now go into the veg biryani, and others say it has gone downhill, turned oily, or is average.
