Famous Biryani Spot in Karachi: FriendZz
Biryani is very popular and the most loved dish in Pakistan and specially in Karachi. Biryani specialist are mostly found in Karachi and people are crazy about this dish. It is well known all over the world but originated from subcontinent. There are different types of biryani according to the different regions, they make it with their own style and spices and gave it their own names like Sindhi Biryani, Hyderabadi Biryani, Mughlai Biryani, Kacche gosht ki Biryani, Khatri Biryanietc etc . There are many famous and popular spots of Biryani in Karachi, tough competition and very hard to say who is the best among all of them but Karachi is so big and vast, people here declared famous biryani spots by area and one will definitely find best biryani in his respective location, not necessary to travel long distances.
Couple of months ago, our office moved to different location i.e. Korangi Industrial area. First thing which people think about at new location is food for lunch. The nearest popular spot from our new office is Friendzz which is very famous and popular restaurant for Biryani.
Almost everyone is Karachi is fond of Biryani but not me. Yes, I prefer bread (Naan) with curries over any rice dish. Although, I eat everything which is fresh and tasty but not very fond of rice dishes. But when it comes to have gatherings or any party, I just enjoy the company and food automatically taste good when you have nice people around you. This is just my thinking.
Even since we moved to new location, I heard a lot about Friendzz. In fact, my colleagues used to go there once a week but I never get a chance until yesterday. I have shared this in my past posts as well, every Friday after prayers, me with IT team used to have lunch outside. After a month gap of Ramadan, this was the first Friday and our IT head was desperately waiting for it. He decided to have lunch Biryani at Friendzz. So, as planned after prayers, we went to Friendzz without wasting time.
Weather has dramatically changed in Karachi and clouds were moving across, I tried to capture some nice views of it after prayers and then headed to Friendzz.
As said earlier, it is a very popular place, I witnessed it when we went there. Restaurant was closed due to prayers break but people started gathering infront of it. This showed me the craze in people about this place. The road is broken there, not well maintained still people were arriving there from different places just to have lunch at Friendzz. A good crowd gathered at the main entrance and everyone just waiting to have it opened and get the suitable place to sit. Getting a table in such a crowd is not easy and is all about luck. However, one of our colleague was on it and captured the table in no time when the shutter goes up.
Now, the other task was to get the token. It is also a tough task. Every Friday, this happens here at Friendzz. No line or sequence at counter, everyone just trying hard, pulling each other to pay and get the token. Our soldier did well and got the token wow this is some kind of mission lol
Now, we have to wait for the waiter to come and take that token from us to serve the Biryani. There are different types of biryani and pulao in Freindzz, we ordered Beed Biryani. They were cooking fresh biryani with fresh meat and serving fresh and hot Biryani all around.
Our Biryani got served in THAAL (a big plate) , each Thaal for two person. WOW that was delicious. I mean I really liked the taste, it was different from others. I am not a big fan of Biryani but such biryani needs some appreciation. It was well cooked and beef was very soft and juicy plus the spices were up to the mark. Thumbs up to Friendzz team.
We all enjoyed our lunch but the truth is I don’t appreciate such phenomenon or the hard work in order to get the food for which we are paying in the end, even it taste outclass. I mean if we are going outside to have lunch, it should be relaxing and a person needs to just sit and relax while the staff of the restaurant do the needful to accommodate you with food and everything. If we are paying for the food then why so much of working behind it, too much of waiting which spoiled everything and also the excitement gets tilted. No doubt the biryani was awesome but all the tasks before getting that biryani is very complicated.
Overall, a good experience but would never go there with such friends where I have to do all the stuff. I would definitely recommend this place just because of the taste. Cheers!!

Hi there, please note there's a foodie community which is more suitable for food posts. Pinmapple is for travel content. Please note for future reference
Thanks
HI there,
well, this is always so confusing for me to select the appropriate community for my post like this one where I had lunch or dinner outside in some restaurant with my friends. I had posted this kind of post in foodies bee hive but was asked to drop in Pinmapple as there is no recipe involved.
Now I am facing this when I posted in Pinmapple, I still have couple of posts like this one but confused where to drop. I thought it is a kind of travel blog, sharing location and specific area to travel for food but you said this is not suitable.
Well, thanks anyways, will surely not use Pinmapple community for food related content.
Not sure why Foodies say that because their community says
"We are a community that is focused on food, friends and a passion for gastronomic delights. If you enjoy food, culture and dynamic experiences then join with us here in the Community"
Which is exactly what your post is. Perhaps you can check with them. Thanks
yeah will do that 👍
