| - We ate at Fast Biriyani last week for dinner and found the experience incredibly subpar. The ambiance has been noted in other reviews - it looks like a fast food restaurant with plastic booths and order at the counter - and the prices mostly match that. (Which is nice.)
The first thing we ordered was chai, which was not masala chai but a chai made with saffron and a lot of milk. Masala chai would have been better, and we won't order their version again.
The dal fry (a thick creamy dal stew) was pretty tasty and moderately spicy and I would order this again. The baingan bharta, however, was nothing like the smoky eggplant curries I've had at other restaurants. It was essentially a tomato-heavy marinara sauce with eggplant and felt out of place with the rest of the fare.
Madison admittedly does not have the best Indian food compared to other, larger cities. There is, however, much better Indian food and selection at Maharajah's, Maharani, or Swagat. Fast is a quantity over quality place, and if you're looking for good, cheap food on the east side, go to La Taguara and get an arepa.
