What people say, in short
A biryani spot in Bengaluru that several locals rate above Meghana, though some of those endorsements are lukewarm rather than glowing. The pepper biryani is singled out as excellent, and the kebab biryani is called among the best if you specifically want boneless. One commenter says it comes closest to Hyderabadi-style biryani in the city, and others mention good taste and quantity at budget-friendly prices. One local finds it just average, and another suggests ordering online rather than dining in.
