Had the mutton biryani as people have popularised it here. However, it wasn't up to standard or expectations. You can't see the meat till you dig around, so the meat is buried deep in the rice. The rice I must say, is nicely cooked, separate and al dente, and is long grain basmati. It's nicely spiced. They claim not to use ghee but whatever other oil they're using seems to make me a bit sick. Maybe ghee would have been better? It's not less oily than ghee at all. It was so oily I had to wipe my
The worst thing about this mutton biryani is the fact that there are lots and lots of little bones that have broken off the mutton and is mixed into the rice. So everytime you chew on a mounthful of rice, you have to chew delicately and carefully in case you chew on some bone fragments which is really painful on the teeth and gums! This really annoyed me as I spent al ot of time using my tongue to pick out and spit out bone fragments!
This dish cost $9! At Tekka Market, the mutton biryani only cost $6 to $7!
The lime juice which is nothing special, cost $2 a glass.
Not really recommended for the mutton biryani due to the bone fragment issue and the cost. The place doesn't look very clean or inviting either. The shop is mostly dark and the cook looked really disheveled and grubby! There is no menu here either so you don't know the prices till after you've eaten. I would not have gotten the mutton if I knew it cost $9 for a plate of bone fragments!
