| - I was expecting that my craving for the good chicken biryani will be fulfilled at this place. I heard many great things about this place, especially about the biryanis. As the name of the establishment says, it has to be good because it's in their name. :-)
I was totally and utterly disappointed that night. May be they are good with biryanis. May be they are awesome with their biryanis. May be what I heard about them, before I went there it's true. But not on that night.
I went solo as always, and I sat at the table. Without going through the whole menu, I ordered chicken biryani. I can see an expression on the face of the person waiting the tables. He repeated what I said by adding one word. I asked for chicken biryani. He said, "just" chicken biryani?. I confirmed, yes - just chicken biryani. He recommended me to have medium spicy as I can't handle hot spicy based on the "Indian spice Scale". I don't want to take any chances. Most often the hot spicy is just uneatable. So I went with medium spicy.
Apparently, someone from a small group on the other table ordered chicken biryani. So I got an assurance in my mind that their chicken biryanis must good here, as someone else has also ordered chicken biryani.
I could not taste any flavor, that kick, that something which would make me call it even a decent chicken biryani. It was a disappointment. I was very hungry by 7:30pm, and by the time I got my food I was at the peak. So I ate faster than usual with the hope that I will get the good part or good feeling after few bites. I could not feel it even after working on half of the portion.
The guy from the small group who had ordered chicken biryani, called the waiter and informed him that the chicken biryani is flavorless. The fun part of going solo is, I can listen and eves-drop at other peoples conversation, sometimes without any intention as people can be loud in the public places, you know. ;-) That customer's buddy, asked him to speak with the waiter in Telugu, which he did. Waiter replied in Telugu. I understand Telugu and can speak Telugu. Why someone needs to have conversation in Telugue specifically? Interesting! The waiter took the chicken biryani plate and came back probably with the flavorful chicken biryani. I was thinking if I should inform the waiter the same about my chicken biryani which was more than half eaten by this time.
I felt robbed that the only thing I came for and the only thing I ordered, was not anywhere close to what I wanted, what I expected, what I heard about. But I was hungry, and ate the whole biryani.
While paying the cheque, I tried to put politely to the waiter that the chicken biryani did not feel like it. There is "just" that thing is missing, you know, that makes it chicken biryani. He said we make fresh and something else that I don't remember as I was absorbed in my thoughts about whether I should give this place another try next time whenever it is. He asked me if I speak Telugu. I don't know why this is a relevant question in this discussion. I said yes without thinking much as I do speak and understand Telugu.
Anyways, the bottom-line is that, it wasn't the good dinner. I could fill my belly but not my soul. I walked out of there unfulfilled. Keep in mind we Indians are all about food.
So, will I be at this place next time?
