Our take: Bismillah Biryani at Gardens by the Bay presents a mixed bag.

While some patrons praise the biryani as amazing and the service as excellent, others report a significant drop in quality, with the Chicken Biryani described as dry, bland, and overpriced at $12.50.

Specific complaints include small meat portions, tasteless chicken, and hard-boiled eggs.

The service also draws strong criticism, with reports of rude and dismissive staff, particularly towards local customers.

The Michelin Gourmand Bib is frequently referenced, with some questioning its validity given the reported decline in food quality and service.

We think the experience here is inconsistent, with a notable risk of disappointment given the price point and the strong negative feedback regarding both food and hospitality.

Best for those willing to gamble on an inconsistent experience, or who prioritize convenience within Gardens by the Bay.

Standard has significantly dropped since the last time I ate here - meat portion very small. The naan is quite insulting for Indian cuisine.

Has got to be the worst ive ever tasted. Period. Absolutely no taste at all. Rice has little to no flavour, it’s just plain rice tbh. Egg. Disgustingly hard like rock. Chicken tasteless. Should cost $…
