Had dinner here with friends and it was a good experience. There was an initial hiccup over a missing reservation but, luckily for us, another party failed to turn up and we finally got a table.
The starter of crispy keropok was good, especially when paired with the Bhindi palli fry and the Gobi Manchurian, which was fried okra bits in sambal.
We ordered the Hyderabad chicken dhum biryani and the Vegetarian Brinjal dhum biryani. Both rice were nicely spiced and fluffly and full of flavor. The brinjal had disintegrated into the rice, so much so that we mainly saw the stems of the vegetables. The chicken was cooked nicely and was soft and full of flavor.
We also liked the Andhra mutton fry. It was tasty, though I prefer the mutton mysore at our usual Indian fave, Samy’s.
We also tried the fresh lime soda, sweet and salty version - it was refreshing, though expensive at $9.80 before tax for two glasses.
Service was good and friendly, and quick. It is a small place with limited tables, though staff did mention they had opened a second store nearby at Chander Road.
They do have two tables along the corridor, but there are no fans, and there is constant music and cigarette smoke from the bistro next door.
On the expensive side but luckily the food and delivery wait time was fine.
Huge portion of rice, great for sharing but it seems like they topped plain rice on the biryani. 😳
Fried cauliflower and butter chicken tasted great but the serving portion is quite small for the price. Will patronize them again.
Value for $$$ specially for biryani. We ordered chicken biryani, goan fish curry to taste. The portion of the chicken biryani is enormous. You can just order 2plates between 3pax. Spices in the briyani was quite flavourful. The taste was pretty awesome. The chicken pieces were tender.
The curry of the goan fish was tastey, could onlybask more was a fresh fish. Texture of fish tasted not that fresh. Overall the place I felt a bit not spacious enough for the ambience to enjoy. Staffs were friendly and even helped to pack the left over food.
Definitelty worth to try the food here.
