Also, do you guys prefer Chicken or Mutton Biryani? Favourite is difficult to decide. Worst of the lot is Kolkata biriyani where in a boiled bateta is hidden in between the rice. And too much mustard flavouring on the meat. @Trichromatic will testify to this abomination. Edited May 9 by Mariyam
Mariyam Posted May 9 Posted May 9 I’ve had Benne Dosa and Thatte Idli in Bangalore. Bang average. Not worth the hype.

One if famous Dada Boudi Biryani in Barackpore and another is Mukherjee's in Srirampur. Very delicious Mariyam 1

Thanks for the recommendations. The next time I am in your city, will make it a point to at least get take out from the places that you have listed, if I can’t have a sit in meal. Austin 3:!6 1

Ignore her @Austin 3:!6 bro, Kolkata Biryani is the best, Alu enhances the masterpiece.

If i wanna know about videshi fad like sushi, croissant, tiramisu, cheesecake, macaroon, I will entertain Mariyam's opinions. Many years ago, my dad dabbled in the restaurant business. Pre Zomato days. We owned/ran a restaurant called Lemon Grass at Carter road. It was fusion of: Pan Asian and Mughlai. And some continental desserts. The novelty factor and location got some traction and we had a good first 12-18 months. After that it went down hill very fast. Had to shut the place subsequently. Your post reminded me: we offered guava chilli flavoured Macaroons. They were . Or maybe like all other geniuses, we were far ahead of our time. Gollum 1

Their appam + stews, their onam sadhya meals, their non veg curries, spicy but not excessively hot. Their sea food is special too.
