Al-Mani Grill and Biryani

Ordered veg platter. Quantity is enough for 2-3 people. The guy also gave me complimentary garlic naan. Loved the paneer tikka. Overall the food was awesome. Staff is also good.

It is a good restaurant. The food is good so is their service. They offer Indian and Bangladeshi foods only. The restaurant environment is nice and clean. It’s a good place for spending time with friends and family. Overall, a good experience and I'd recommend them. About food, I would like to add my latest experience. I have ordered a Chicken Biryani from there recently. Rice was well cooked and mixture of spices was perfect. There were only two pieces of chicken which some might think as less than their expectation as I did. Unfortunately, they do not provide any boiled egg or any drinks with the Biryani. Yes, they do provide some green chutneys which I don’t eat, so can't say much about that. Their pricing for the foods is moderate and competitive with the market.

Friday, September 30, 2022 Had to kill the craving! Tonight I had plain biryani rice, butter chicken, bihari kabab and naan Thursday, April 21, 2022 Vegetable biryani with chicken tikka masala...so good. Wednesday, April 13, 2022 First of all, let me explain that all of the other dates in my review start from the OLDEST review and then run chronologically to most recent. Today was the first time since COVID hit us in March 2020 that I actually had the chance to dine in, and oooh, I missed this place. I did, however, manage a Skip the Dishes delivery a few months back, but that doesn't count. The food is still as good as I remember, and the aroma coming from the kitchen is almost intoxicating. I had the Al-Mani Classic combo from the menu: chicken tikka, beef kebab, plain biryani and naan. Sooo good! Why did I wait so long? Wednesday, August 7, 2019: Now THIS is the kind of restaurant we've been waiting for in the Main and Danforth area! The menu is filled with a large variety of South Asian foods which should appeal to everyone! I had the lamb biryani - succulent pieces of lamb in a mountain of deliciously spiced basmati rice, topped with green chilies at my request, cilantro and red onions, and a wonderfully cool raita on the side. I saw the outside sign go up a few weeks ago and just couldn't wait! Friendly service with a smile, clean and inviting atmosphere; some traditional music in the background is a much needed accent. Get in and try something! You'll know what I mean! Wednesday, August 14, 2019: Today is the second time I've visited this restaurant happens to be my birthday, and again, not disappointed! Ordered the beef biryani - a treasure of tender, melt-in-your-mouth chunks of beef buried under light and fluffy, aromatic and well seasoned basmati rice cooked to perfection, accompanied by raita and tamarind sauces. And a sweet mouthful of gulab jaman to follow.....looking forward to my next visit! Saturday, August 24, 2019 Took my Bangladeshi friend his first time at this restaurant. We shared naan, lamb karahi and 12 incredible wings served on a sizzling skillet that's steam you see rising in the photo!. An order of plain rice followed 3 seconds after I took the photo. Every time I go, I'm more impressed than the time before. Never tried Bangladeshi/Indian style food? Then here is the place to start! Clean restaurant, table service on real plates and a 100% professional kitchen! Hats off to Iqbal, who does most of the cooking. A-one! Friday, October 4, 2019 Stopped in on my way home from visiting a friend and wanted to try something different. I chose the spicy karahi chicken and plain biryani rice. It was a feast for the senses: the beauty in the simplicity of the presentation, the fragrance of the spices, the succulence of the chicken - I was in Heaven! What are you waiting for? Tuesday, October 8, 2019 Couldn't stop myself - just HAD to go back! This time, lamb rogan josh - tender chunks of lamb smothered in a rich tomato/peppers/yogurt sauce, plain biryani, and a beef seekh kabab which arrived on a sizzling platter with red onion and lemon. AND some garlic naan to make sure I got every bit of everything from my plate. Mmm-mmm-mmm! Friday, November 1, 2019 Was craving some good local food and came in after work. Good choice, Thom! Chicken seekh kabab, beef seekh kabab and chili chicken tikka over plain biryani rice just hit the spot perfectly!

This place has amazing biryani and tandoori char-grilled chicken wings. The owner himself prepares the fresh food for you. You should definitely give it a try. Their food is fresh and delicious. Even people from other ethnicity should try this. Amazing, keep it up.

PS Updated review : I had recently picked up chicken and beef seekh with garlic naan Well the Seekh was on point however , their garlic nan wasn’t very relevant to garlic nan in real . It looked like few garlic pieces mistakenly fell into the nan. No very impressive, hence change in ratings! The place has a lot to offer for halal guys and people with good spicy taste of food! It serves halal meat and chicken and everything ! I have tried the chicken skewers and the beef they both taste awesome! The mutton biryani and chicken biryani is finger licking good!!!

Clean, affordable and tasty food. Owner is super friendly and polite. The Party size Vegan Biriyani is amazing. Highly recommended for a quick bite or a lavish spread.

We ordered the Chicken Biryani and the Chicken Seekh Kabab. They were both delicious, very flavorful. Even their sauces were tasty. Service was good as well. Will definitely visit again. Update: Visited a second time but the food wasn’t that great. Had the Chicken Biryani again and the Karahi Chicken Curry with the Garlic Naan. This time we visited in the evening so I’m not sure if it’s a different chef.

I’ve eaten here seven times in two weeks. The food is easily among the best Indian food I’ve ever had - tandoori chicken wings are especially delicious and the saag paneer is complex and full of flavor. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is a brand new renovation. Give Al-Mani Grill a try, you won’t regret it!

27/Aug/2019 This was my first visit here, restaurant is newly opened where ‘Poonam Delite’ used to be before.. I ordered beef haleem and was quite impressed by its taste. Far better than other haleems in the area. Staff is courteous and explained how this haleem was made. This kind of restaurant was missing on the Main and Danforth ave, finally I am happy to see a new Indian / Pakistani / South Asian restaurant in this location. I am definitely going back to try more cuisines!! On a side note-I visited Poonam delite in 2018. I would say the arrangement of chairs now is making great difference and the place looks spacious now.., it is neat and clean. I personally feel the color of the walls can be changed from that shade of orange to something that can give it a more lively feel and can add on some wall stickers or art work or few master paint strokes you know..to add some character to the place. I am sure restaurant will soon look very appealing and more impressive. Cheers!! 29/Aug/2019 Have to say- got to listen to Arijit Singh’s soulful hindi songs after so so long..it was pleasure.. Mango lassi - the best Lassi I had so far in Danforth and Main!! My little baby tasted and liked it too Beef Kebab- delicious and fabulously cooked, had all the spices and was juicy!! Chicken biryani- liked it too.

This place is clean and nice and PRICE IS VERY CHEAP AND GOOD QUANTITY! Not spicy at all and food was flavourful. CONS : FOUND SMALL SHREDS OF BONES INSIDE SHEEKH KABOB AND CHICKEN TIKKA Boneless Dish You get what you pay for. I ordered 2 plain Naan 10/10 Lamb biryani 5/10 Chicken tikka 6/10 Chicken sheek kabob 4/10 it was cold.
