Please do not parcel biryani here. They scam people. Parcel has a separate counter and they give only rice with one piece. Cost of this biryani is 270.
Went there on a Friday, reached at around 5:10, there was already a queue of 50 people in the line, they opened at around 6. There is no queue management, people rush in as soon as the doors are open.
The quantity of mutton in the take away parcels are less than the dine in (read stand, it's very difficult to get a seat after 6) plates. The biryani has a lot of mutton fat in the rice, which adds to the flavour if you're dining in and having it piping hot, at the same time, ruins it if re heated for take away parcels.
Fried chicken kebab and soups are also available inside. We had paaya soup, which was just a lot of ginger and no flavour.
I felt its the hype that brings people to this place. Stories of early morning biriyani, huge crowd, large vessels with biriyani, YouTube videos showing the making of the Biriyani has added to the hype. Its a one time try, because the taste is very subjective and could lead to highly polarized opinion. I am not a great fan of this, however I have seen others who are regulars here. If you have lot of time on a Sunday early morning and have a mood to stand for 45mins and eat biriyani, you can try this out.
