What people say, in short
Al-Bek is a multi-outlet Bengaluru biryani chain with branches in areas like Malleshwaram, Rajajinagar, JP Nagar and near Jayadeva hospital. Several locals rate its biryani highly, with the Hyderabadi chicken dum and mutton versions singled out, and one also praises the tandoori roti and butter chicken. Opinions are split, though: one who has tried it wouldn't place its biryani in their top five, and another dismisses it as little more than tomato bath.
