Baba Biryani-The Best Biryani in Town?

Sundays are amazing, magical days of sleeping and eating. This particular Sunday was made even more magical with my waking up to biryani from a new place called Baba Biryani.

Claiming to be made with fresh ingredients in hygienic conditions, which is still left to be determined since I haven't seen the premise where its made, it's definitely delicious, and one of the best tasting biryanis I've had outside the house. And I'm very fussy about my biryani. It has to be spicy, the rice has to be khila khila and the chicken/meat has to be tender.

Baba Biryani followed through on all counts.The masala was perfect, the rice was of good quality, the meat was tender and the potatoes were soft and fluffy. There was a bit too much oil for my liking, but not so much that I was unable to eat it. I tried both the chicken and the beef biryanis. The chicken was slightly less spicy, but still pretty good. The beef biryani was my favorite. Slightly more spicier than the chicken biryani, the beef was tender, with none of the smell which typically comes from beef. There was also a delicious, garlicky, herby raita to accompany the biryanis which went perfectly with both chicken and beef.

Apparently, my parents really enjoyed the pulao and zarda they ordered along with the biryani. I didn't try it, but I trust their taste buds.

While it's still not better than homemade biryani, it's definitely one of the best biryani choices available out there, You can find out more about them on their page: https://www.facebook.com/bababiryanipk/?fref=ts

Mandi House, Grand Launch

I'll be real with you. I have actually never really been fond of mandi. Pulao with tender meat pieces is something I was born eating. I didn't understand the fuss about it. You know how different food fads have trended wherever you live? Chinese, Pan Asian, burgers, Continental cuisines area all different from the local palate. Pulao aur boti toh mai ghar pe bhi kha sakti hun. So I never got on to the mandi house fad. And the servings at these places are huge, bordering on wasteful. I wasn't going to go there with just one or two friends to eat mandi. No Sirree Bob. Mandis are meant for at least 3-5 people to enjoy, depending on hunger levels. Recently I was invited to the grand launch of the new Mandi House on main Shaheed-e-Millat's now populated restaurant strip. The place was easy to find since it's so prominently visible from the main road. The restaurant itself is made really well, with a waiting area and seating space on both floors. Options for dining in ...

Golden Dragonization

I’ve always loved desi Chinese food. I’ve been raised on desi Chinese food. The more sweetish side of things, with so many spices that one’s left wondering whether to eat or wipe one’s nose or eat one’s food. But oh, so good. Thus, I convinced the family to order Golden Dragon tonight, even though they were most reluctant to order from a new place. Since my father and I are both allergic to ajino moto, we requested that no ajino moto be added in our food. Stuck to the basics, since it was my first time ordering. We ordered the hot and sour soup, hot and spicy wontons, crispy beef, hot and spicy chicken, chicken in oyster sauce, and vegetable fried rice. The first thing we got to open was the wontons. All the food was steaming, amazingly hot. Since Abu was in the kitchen with me, the first thing he did was make a face and say, ‘Aye hai! Steamed wontons hamaray matlab k thori hain.’ I took a bite, then forced him to take a bite. When I raised my eyebrows at him in quest...

Almost a Year Later at RAK's Table

Hello darkness, my old friend! While I know that blogposts aren't exactly the preferred social media communication method nowadays, something keeps pulling me back to this baby of mine that I can't seem to let go of, even though last I posted was September 4, 2024. I also feel like this particular culinary experience of mind deserved a blogpost of its own, it was THAT good! It wasn't just the food, but the company with which I enjoyed each morsel, which came about thanks to my foodie friend Sadia Safdar, who kindly thought of me when Rida Alam Khan, head chef at Yazu and RAK's Table requested a taste-testing of some choice dishes from her yet-to-be-opened restaurant. The panel consisted of OG food lovers, not just bloggers, but people who genuinely have a passion for food and can taste the nuanced notes and secret ingredients in perfectly crafted recipes. Considering I had never been to Yazu, I was quite impressed by the entrance, very tasteful, just like the food as...
