Below, we have compared the above three on the following basis:

Now we will explore the above factors to see which has the winner biryani.
1. Which has the Best Taste?
| # | Ghousia | Qadri | Allah Wala Biryani |

When it comes to taste, all three have their unique taste with nalli, spices, tender meat, and fresh rice.
All of them are competitors and are among the top-rated biryani spots in town. Whether you eat it with Nalli or without, the biryani is yummy on its own, and when eaten with nalli, it reaches a whole new level.
Ghousia Biryani
Ghousia introduced nalli biryani in 2018 but has been famous for its beef biryani way before.
Their nalli biryani is a site to behold, and how nalli is squeezed out of the bone is enough to make your mouth water.
In its food blog series, ARY titled Ghousia as the best biryani in the city, and many food vloggers like RHS, Irfan Junejo, Villagefoodsecrets, and Saqib Mobeen also recommended it.

The biryani at all these places is served in sufficient quantity.
The Biryani is served with meat and nalli, with flavorful rice and raita, enough to send you into a food coma you never want to get out of.
The prices of all three are comparable, and so is the quantity. All these places offer great value for money to biryani lovers, giving each other strong competition.

4. Which Offers the Best Ambiance and Service?
| # | Ghousia | Qadri | Allah Wala Biryani |
| Service | Reasonable | Reasonable | Reasonable |
All three places are located in a rushy place, which makes it hard to reach, as it is flocked by customers from different regions.
The place is not the most calm to eat, but in the end, the taste is what brings everyone there. It’s hard to find parking, so you must park from a distance. The place is ok for families, but home delivery might be better if you want to enjoy the biryani in peace.

People have given good reviews of Ghousia’s service, as the staff is courteous, but parking will be an issue as the area is congested.
The same can be said for Qadri Briyani & Allah Wala, where parking is an issue, but the service is reasonable.
Which is the Winner?
In our opinion, all three are good in their own way, and it is a matter of taste and personal preference. While Ghousia and Alla Wala Biryani seem to have a larger fan following, the taste of Qadri makes it a strong competitor, and thus it’s up to you to decide.
