Ismail Biryani, especially the Auto Nagar branch, is one of the most repeatedly recommended biryani spots in Vijayawada, with many people calling it among the best in the city and comparing it favourably to Hyderabad's biryani.

A couple of commenters note the food is inconsistent, hit-and-miss, and several say it is expensive for what you get.

Caveats: one commenter finds the place old and inferior to Aromas, which they say is run by the same company, and notes both have a dark theme with no great vibe; another diner reports horrible service.

One commenter recommends it for food after midnight, another says biryani and shawarma are available there at budget-friendly prices late at night, and a third praises the charcoal shawarma.
