Best Biriyani in town?
had heard a lot about this place and decided to check it out over the weekend. A good turnout for dinner inspite of the downpour suggested that wait might be worth it after all.
Nice decor and good space inside (although some brash foreigners were bent upon making sure that everyone in the restaurant heard what they were sayting). ordered the chicken reshmi kabab and the chickent biriyani. the kababs were ok - nothing great but ok....no melts in your mouth stuff.
had to wait for the main attraction - the chicken biriyani. at first sight you could make out that it was going to be a let down. the rice had been overcooked and the individual grains looked like they had been mashed partially. now, as any biriyani connoisseur will tell you, the individual rice grains should not stick together like in a khichidi! the chicken pieces tasted like they had been prepared for some other dish (some kebabs maybe) and the rice just didn't have the flavor of the biriyani. oh man....such a let down. can't imagine how the biriyani at this place has got a good rating. at best the biriyani was like a chicken pulao!
Bangalore.....still waiting for some restaurant to better the biriyani of samarkhand!!
