If you’re a biryani lover living in Lahore, there’s exciting news! Al Syed Biryani and Pakwan Center—a well-known name in Karachi and Allama Iqbal Town—has just launched a brand new branch in Civic Center, Faisal Town, Lahore, as of July 9, 2025.
Al Syed Biryani, once known for its Karachi-style flavor and generous portions, seems to be losing its charm as it expands into another Lahore neighborhood. The taste feels watered down, and the value just isn’t what it used to be.
⭐ Al Syed Biryani Faisal Town Branch Review
Here’s a breakdown of the experience at their Civic Center Faisal Town location:
✅ Taste & Flavor – 3.5/10
Honestly, I was expecting that bold Karachi-style flavor, but the biryani turned out pretty tasteless. The meat was soft, sure, but the rice had no real spice or depth. It just felt flat—nothing memorable about it.
✅ Portions & Pricing – 5.5/10
Whether it’s a single plate or the so-called 1 KG family pack, the quantity isn’t as generous as you’d expect. And at Rs. 150 for Aloo Biryani, it doesn’t feel worth it—especially when the taste doesn’t deliver either.

If you’ve been hunting for the best biryani in Faisal Town, this new branch of Al Syed Biryani might not be it. The spice is lacking, the portions feel underwhelming, and overall, it just doesn’t live up to the hype.
Overall Rating: 5/10
Authentic? Barely. Affordable? Maybe. Addictive? Not really.
