| - I have gone back to Pastries and chaat and this time I had the boneless chicken biryani, samosa, mango lassi, chicken suka and House special, chicken. The meal was excellent and it was so big, we had leftovers. The food was exceptionally delicious although extremely spicy. The house special and the samosa have the right amount of heat for someone like me. The biryani is so spicy no matter how much they try to make it "mild" based on my request. Mango lassi was just perfect. This place is nothing short of a great restaurant. I just wish they had more options and the spice level was slightly lower. They are very popular with Indians which proves they're doing it right! One star missing because I was craving their chai so bad and they were "out". But definitely returning soon!
I think I have finally found an Indian restaurant I am willing to return to!
Yesterday the plan was to go eat somewhere close to this place but when I saw it, I remembered that I've been wanting to try it because I have been on the lookout for a good Indian restaurant and I just could not find one I really like.
We were there at around 4:30pm, you place your order at the cashier and take a number and wait for your food. We ordered two chicken Dhum biryanis, one order of samosas, a combo platter which is basically a curry served with one roti and rice but you have the option of replacing the rice with another roti so we did and we chose paratha & a drink.
The food was served very quickly we hardly waited for 3 minutes! That was a great start because we were very hungry. The food tasted great! My only comment on the food was that the biryani was way too spicy for me & even my husband who has a pretty high tolerance for spicy food thought it was a little too spicy for him. The curry was amazing! I enjoyed every bite!
To try and tone the fire in my mouth down, I decided to order chai. I paid in cash but I accidentally paid a few pennies more. I don't care for pennies but even though I mentioned to the cashier that I gave him more money, he didn't return the change. I just let it slide. I also mentioned to him that the food is great but the biryani is way too spicy so he mentioned that they assume it's medium spicy when you order unless you request a mild version. Ok! Good tip for next time. Chai was absolutely delicious! Finally, a place that serves my kind of chai.
A few minutes later and since I was still hungry because I could hardly eat a few bites of my biryani, I ordered Dahi Batata Puri, a snack I've always enjoyed in Dubai. I paid in cash again, it was a $10 bill and the change would have been $1.34. I didn't get the change immediately so when the snack was served, the server put a dollar bill on our table with the receipt. No 34 cents!! They are cents so I don't really care the amount is too small but it is not acceptable to do that! If I want to tip I will of course but you cannot "keep the change" until we say so.
Overall, food was great so I am willing to return to the restaurant but if the "change" thing will happen again, I will have to mention this!
4* stars for food & I would have given 4* on service but not this time.
