What people say, in short
Shakeel Biryani near Alamgir Hotel in Aminabad receives recommendations for biryani, including chicken biryani. One commenter calls it an overlooked place worth trying, and another prefers it to Kareem's biryani. The clearest reservation is a diner finding excessive oil on one occasion, while still liking the biryani overall. The available discussion is relatively brief, so the recommendation is narrower than for the city's most-discussed names.
