Located in the Matka Peer Dargah near Pragati Maidan Gate No 6., Babu Shahi Bawarchi serves some original dishes which dates back to the Mughal Kitchens of the 17th century. A must have location for having some authentic and yummy Biryani in Delhi. All the items are cooked in huge containers in the open and patrons buy in quantities measured in kilograms. Pros: 1. Location is excellent - right beside the Pragati Maidan Gate No 6 in Matka Peer Dargah (the last shop) 2. Taste - excellent, nothing you can come across even in some 5 star restaurants 3. Limited menu - Chicken/Mutton Biryani, Korma, Kabab's and Rumali Roti 4. Biryani is sold as Kilos - lots of Kilos (ideal for parties at home) 5. Biryani is also available by plate (Chicken Biryani - Rs. 480 per kg, Mutton Biryani - Rs. 600 per kg) 6. Parking area for around 5-6 cars in the open Cons: 1. Very limited stock - order early as stock gets over before 5 PM 2. Serves only for lunch 3. Don't ask for Raita etc. - you wont get it here though they serve some chutney 4. Its basically a take away - so only couple of tables available 5. Vegetarians - look somewhere else for food Overall a must have biryani joint in Delhi though many people in Delhi are not aware of it's existence. And yes they are closed on Tuesdays.

As a food blogger I would love to give 5/5 star to this unbeatable Britani shop. I shop which was opened in 1965 is an amazing combination of taste and worth. You can't stop yourself having the most delicious mutton briyani -5/5 (₹700/kg) and mutton korma -5/5 (₹600/kg). Undoubtedly the combination of both is marvelous and you can't beat the taste with tangi achari which is mixed in Britani. They will make fresh Britani infront of you uncouple of minutes (usually 30-45 minutes for one kg) But as there is a place of improvement in everything. Things which can improve is initially you should some liquid siders with briyani so that it won't taste dry. Sitting arrangements are not provided for having food at the same. No air conditioner system is there. But yes if you want to feeding you stomach with best appetite, must visit this place.

This place is my go to for Biryani in high quantities. I’ve bought Biryani and chicken korma from here so so many times! And every time it turns out to be so good. I haven’t given 5 stars bcuz the food is quite oily. But I must say, this place is greattt and soo affordable! I’ve served Biryani from here to several guests and everyone says that the preparation is so so good. I’ve tried both the chicken and mutton korma and it’s delicious. It has a true authentic taste, total comfort food. The quantity they give is soo good that we eat to our hearts content for dinner and still have a lot left for later as well. I’ve been ordering from here for many years and will continue to do so.

This place was on my list, from too long.  And Finally, it was the time to feast on all those Mughlai dishes they had. Well, I was expecting Seekh Kebabs and Rumali Roti's but to my bad, there was none. They only serve Biryani and Korma, or should i say, they only have Takeaway service. If you are planning to visit this place, then do make a note that they, don't provide any dine-in service. We ordered Chicken Biryani and Chicken Korma :- They serve all their dishes in two quantity scales : Half and One Kilogram. So, let's start -  Chicken Biryani : Those large rice grains, with good amount of meat in it. Loaded, with lots of bay leafs, and dry red chillies. Also, you can taste green chillies pickle in it (the one, you can basically notice in Moradabadi Biryani). We, ordered Half Kilogram one, and you would be glad that they basically categorize the biryani with the amount of meat they use in it. For Example : A Half kilo. Biryani will have half kilo. chicken in it, with hell lot of rice. You can see that in the pics attached, That yellow bowl is what we are left with when we ate a lot, and are still left with this much quantity. Chicken Korma : Amazing!! A single word to describe my experience. Perfect taste, perfectly marinated soft chicken. That Korma, made my day. Again you will getting Korma in two variants Half/One Kilo. quantity. Time for Ratings :- Taste : 4 Quantity : 5 However, an overall rating of 3.5, as this place is only meant for takeaways and I went on to explore the food, and was bit upset when they told me that they don't have any dine-in option. Also, they don't serve Kebabs and Rumali's anymore. So, Why should I recommend? Well, If you are planning for a get-together or any Non-Veg feast with a total of 5-6 people and within a budget of 1000 bucks. Then, you are at right place. Value for money, Will Surely Visit this place again, but only for a takeaway.

Babu shahi bawarchi is the kind of place you stumble upon when you are craving for some wholesome chicken , but dont have the money. For the broke-days and to do away with quick hunger pangs , Babu shahi bawarchi is the place to be. Park your car just outside the small shop that is on mathura road , near Matka peer , and dig into their biryani ( 70/- bucks) , Chicken korma ( 60/- bucks) and some desi style fried golauti kebabs priced at 20/- bucks each 😮 ! 100/- bucks per person ( If you're really hungry) ans you're done. Its a take-away or eat in your car kind of place. 3/5 solely on the basis of the yum food you get here. :) #chickenloving#babushahi

I had read about this place in one of the articles on LBB, hence went to check it out for lunch on a weekday. They have a couple of tables placed outside and that's about it. The menu is very limited, hence we tried galaouti kebabs which were awful, never ever had I had such bad galouti kebabs. Then came chicken biryani, chicken korma and mutton korma with rumali roti. Mutton was really good but the same can't be said for the other two dishes. Chicken korma was average at best. P.S: Mutton korma that he was serving was being prepared at a restaurant adjacent to this one which apparently had much more crowd, hence think over your choice before you try.

I am wondering how these people are serviving in this Era of competition. Heard a lot about their Biryani, but highly disappointed. If you are health conscious and love to have hygiene then it a total no for you. Chicken Biryani- Using Sella Rice and vegetable oil for preparation of Biryani. Lack of Aroma. Chicken was dum well. Pros: Only if you are looking for too much of Sella rice. Whatever they say a Half kg Biryani is only meant in terms of Rice, can't suffice enough for 2 people as they serve only 4-5 chicken pieces, and price is reasonably good for the same. Hygiene : Must go along with you own Utensils or reusable disposable to carry the order, as they use poly bags less than 50 microns to pack your order. The only thing u will love is, they individually dum every single order.
