What people say, in short
Idrees in Chowk receives repeated biryani recommendations, including several suggestions for mutton biryani. The support is not unanimous: some call the biryani overrated or disappointing, and one prefers Wahid and Dastarkhwan. Another commenter is put off by the roadside eating setup. A more recent food-tour account reports that the group enjoyed the biryani; that positive experience does not erase the earlier dissent.
