The mutton biryani is more potatoes and less mutton. The mutton chunks are not well marinated, lack flavour, and are also very, very chewy. Left the restaurant after having a few spoons.

Kebabchi Biryani at Bedok Mall stands as a culinary bridge between Pakistan and Singapore, bringing authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine to Level 1 (#01-12) of this vibrant East Coast shopping destination. Operating daily from 10:00am to 10:00pm with convenient contact at +65 8950 0087, this halal-certified restaurant specializes in traditional Pakistani Dum Biryanis and authentic Indian kebabs that honor generations of culinary heritage while adapting to Singapore's diverse palates. The restaurant's concept represents a authentic interpretation of Pakistani cuisine, featuring recipes and preparation methods that maintain the complex spice profiles and cooking techniques that define genuine Pakistani cooking, making it a rare destination for both nostalgic expatriates and Singaporean food enthusiasts seeking to explore the rich flavors of the Indian subcontinent. Despite its modest "hole-in-the-wall" appearance near the MRT station entrance, Kebabchi Biryani transforms into "another world" through its bright colorful walls adorned with geometric shapes and floral motifs, complemented by traditional Pakistani music that creates an immersive cultural dining experience.
The specialized menu at Kebabchi Biryani Bedok Mall focuses on the art of biryani preparation, showcasing authentic Pakistani Dum cooking techniques through signature offerings including Chicken Dum Biryani (2-4), Mutton Dum Biryani (4-6), premium Lamb Shank Biryani (2), and Fish Biryani (4) that demonstrate the restaurant's mastery of this complex rice dish that requires precise timing, temperature control, and spice balancing. Each biryani set arrives with complementary mint raita, a creamy yogurt sauce specifically designed to cut through the richness of the dish while enhancing the overall flavor experience, reflecting the traditional Pakistani approach to balanced dining. The restaurant's commitment to authenticity extends beyond biryani to include traditional accompaniments like fresh chapathis ( each) and classic dishes such as Butter Chicken (8) that showcase their ability to handle the diverse range of flavors and techniques that characterize Pakistani and Indian cuisine, with generous portions that reflect the hospitality traditions of the region and ensure exceptional value for the substantial, satisfying meals they provide.
What sets Kebabchi Biryani Bedok Mall apart from conventional Indian restaurants is their dedication to authentic Pakistani flavors that remain true to traditional recipes rather than being "toned down" for local tastes, earning praise from customers who recognize and appreciate genuine Pakistani cuisine that maintains its cultural integrity. The restaurant's lamb shank biryani receives particular acclaim for meat that is "SOOOO tender and yummy," while the overall dining experience is consistently described as "surprisingly delicious, truly worth the money" and "highly recommend to friends – a must-try\!" The casual atmosphere with limited seating area encourages both quick meals and intimate dining experiences, while the comprehensive delivery options via GrabFood and Deliveroo ensure that authentic Pakistani flavors remain accessible for home dining. This combination of cultural authenticity, generous portions, exceptional value, and convenient accessibility has established Kebabchi Biryani Bedok Mall as an essential destination for anyone seeking genuine Pakistani cuisine that honors traditional preparation methods while serving Singapore's multicultural community, offering every diner an opportunity to experience the warmth, hospitality, and complex flavors that define authentic Pakistani dining culture and contribute to Singapore's rich tapestry of international cuisines.

So, so, so good! Love the butter curry and garlic naan. The masala tea was fragrant too. The staff there are friendly and thoughtful. I'll be back! :)

Tried Kebabchi Biryani for the first time, and it was awesome! The mutton dum biryani was absolutely delicious. Rich, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. The chicken tikka was slightly on the pricey side, but the taste more than made up for it. We truly enjoyed it. The staff were warm and attentive, and what truly impressed me was the honesty of the boss. My PayWave transaction went through twice despite initially showing as unsuccessful. The boss took down my contact, asked me to verify with my bank, and assured me that if there was an issue, I could come back to him. A week later, my bank confirmed the double charge, and true to his word, he resolved it without hesitation. Honest service like this is rare these days. I’ll definitely be back, not just for the great food, but also for the integrity and care they show their customers. Highly recommended!

Air-conditioned, self-service. Ordered mutton biryani and masala tea. The rice was plentiful (I only ate half because I am watching calories), with each grain abundantly spiced. It was very powerful and might be overwhelming for some; I liked it. The mutton portion was sufficient and served beneath the rice. The meat did not have the gamey smell mutton usually has, which was good for me as I am not a fan of that smell and taste. The meal ($15.50) came as a combo (G), with the masala tea priced at $1 because of the meal. The tea was very flavourful and packed a punch with its spice level. Not overly sweet, the ratio was just right. Overall, it was worth its price and suitable for a quick lunch. No GST or service tax. The seating area is small, so avoid peak times.
