What people say, in short
An Andhra-style biryani spot on Residency Road that many locals rate among Bengaluru's best, especially the mutton biryani; one suggests pairing it with coconut salan. Critics disagree: some find the biryani bland or pulao-like, the portions small for the price, and the quality inconsistent, so it's a divisive pick worth trying for the mutton but with tempered expectations.
