| - The reason for my visit? $3.99 Chicken Biryani Tuesdays! How can you beat that??
I knew there was going to be a problem when I saw the door wide open. Keep in mind that it was like 35C yesterday. So either AC was broken or owners were too cheap to turn it on! No fans either, so I felt really bad for the people working there, especially in the back cooking. Canadian Tire/Home Depot are your neighbours, why don't you just buy some fans and write them off as a business expense? Owners, this is not a good look!
Aside from that, there was still a line-up of post-9-5ers coming in to grab some grub for their hungry families.
A female customer ahead of me what telling worker which pieces of mutton to grab - without the bone. (Makes sense, as you don't really want a container full of bone + sauce for dinner.) She was being soo demanding, yet the worker didn't flinch one bit. That was pretty impressive as I would've exploding, especially with the heat!
I got a Chicken Biryani to-go ($3.99, maybe 2-3 pieces of chicken, pretty good flavour - can't complain for price) & a Matar Paneer ($5.99 for a large, not enough paneer, mostly peas & gravy).
Perhaps I should've taken note from that demanding customer and directed the worker to scoop up more pieces of paneer! Whatever the case maybe, both dishes were more than acceptable to me.
Along with the questionable management (re: no-AC), the food handling is somewhat suspect as well. Containers upon containers of ready-prepped Chicken Biryani may be alright, but I didn't see the raita (yogurt based) being pulled out of a fridge or anything. No-AC, along with leaving food out can be a barf-y mix!
