My friends have taken me to good biryani places so for some reason I don't think this was the best biryani. BUT I don't know if what I've had was DUM biryani or not. Tried the chicken one and it didn't have the flavor I though. Maybe all those times it wasn't truly authentic or from a dif region? They give you a lot of rice though. Not a whole lot if chicken but you'll find this under all the rice.
Had the chicken tikka masala too and liked the flavor of the sauce.
Ordered two mango lassis. The first one came out about 5 minutes after we got our food (not before). The second one came out about 5 minutes after that one. The guy told me the lady was making them in the back. It was a bit strange on the timing but tells me that there was literally one person in the back doing the main cooking.
Cleanliness: I am by no means a germ-a-phobe and rarely bothered by how a place looks but there was something about this place that didnt sit right with me. Not sure what but I noticed it. I thought the reviews were over reacting but for once there is some legitimacy. Thankfully I just let it pass.
I will warn you though that the owner or guy at the counter is not so willing to give up his to-go containers. I asked for a second container to replace the sauce container we had bc it had gotten really dirty. The guy started pointing to the container and muttered something before finally giving it to me. Funny.
Despite all this I will be back. There are some things on the menu that seemed more local to the region that I don't see at other places so would be great to try them.
