Biryaniwala Lounge Onehunga: Hyderabadi Biryani and Indian Cuisine

On Onehunga Mall in Onehunga, Biryaniwala Lounge serves an extensive menu built around Hyderabadi biryani, tandoori dishes, Indo-Chinese street food and South Indian dosas. The restaurant's menu spans dozens of categories, from soups and starters through to family-sized combo packs, making it a destination for both quick individual orders and larger group meals.

Built around biryani and Haleem

At the heart of the menu sits a range of biryani styles — vegetable, chicken and lamb biryani served daily, alongside Goat Biryani available only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The restaurant's Haleem, a thick Hyderabadi lamb soup-stew made with grains, lentils and meat, is called out as a signature special in its own right, available as a single serve or a family pack.

Tandoor, curries and Indo-Chinese

Beyond biryani, Biryaniwala Lounge runs a full tandoori section with chicken tikka in several marinades, lamb seekh kebab, and a Tandoori Mix Platter combining several tandoor items on one plate. The curry menu covers both vegetarian dishes like Daal Makhani and Paneer Butter Masala, and non-vegetarian options including Butter Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh and a run of bone-in curries such as Chicken Chettinad and Goat Curry. An extensive Indo-Chinese section brings in Manchurian, Schezwan and 65-style dishes across chicken, paneer, seafood and vegetables, plus a dedicated momo menu in both paneer and chicken varieties.

South Indian dosas

The dosa menu includes plain, onion, podi, masala and butter masala dosas, along with more elaborate versions like Kaju Roast Masala Dosa, Paneer Dosa, Egg Dosa, Keema Dosa and Chicken 65 Dosa — each built on the same fermented rice and lentil batter base.

Family packs and combo deals

For larger groups, Biryaniwala Lounge offers a wide range of family packs across biryani, curries, Indo-Chinese dishes and starters, scaled to serve anywhere from 2-3 people up to 8-10. Combo deals like the Big Family Deal and Supreme Deal bundle a biryani pack with a starter or curry and a drink, while a weekday Lunch Special (Monday to Friday, 11am-3pm) offers a choice of curry with rice and a drink at a set price.
