As the title says, finally on-board the quest to taste and satiate the need and find the “Best Biryani”. Many a TV anchor or a celebrity chef will take you right from the streets of Hyderabad to the Avadhi Mahals for their recipe and page 3 chit-chat. Sometimes I wonder how strong is their urge to be heard, seen and their story being told. I chose a contrary path….to ambush the eateries some acclaimed and some just by the way side. To accompany me I have my seven year old daughter Sia (and Reyaansh who sometimes is a pile on… ) who will not use descriptive adjectives like “succulent pieces of lamb” or the “perfect harmony of spices”. She’ll just say – “Yummy” or “Not Nice” and you know what the review was. She leaves making the review palatable…. literally to me….pun intended.
Our first stop to kick start this was at Hyderabad Biryani Palace in Kalyan Nagar – next to GRT Gold Showroom, Bangalore. By the way we plan to do like a 10 eat out per locality as baseline before moving to a new one. So, well give you a lot to discover if you haven’t been the experimental type.
True to its name, the Biryani was yummy. Made me nostalgic of ‘Shadab’ at Hyderabad. Go for it if you are around and you wont be disappointed. Good news is its Biryani and not Pulao as many a connoisseur would call it. I remain incorruptible for flavor rather than being a pseudo perfectionist; so not much a difference. For next time we promise to encroach upon some of these myths 🙂 See you soon…..
