19 Flavors Biryani - Gurgaon - 2/5


Was in the mood for some Biryani last night. Thought of Paradise which has recently opened on Sohna Road. My badluck that they do not deliver where I stay. So checked the zomato app for some high rated Biryani places and discovered this new place located in Global Foyer Mall on Golf course Road. 

The place is rated a 4.1 on Zomato. Placed the order for half a portion kathal biryani and half a portion mutton biryani. Order arrived very swiftly in about 45 minutes. The restaurant called me to check if we wanted hyderabadi or Lucknowi style Biryani. I obviously chose Hyderabadi. The restaurant also mentioned sending a complementary dessert. How efficient a place I thought. They even sms'd the rider details once order got dispatched. 

The order came neatly packed in great packaging. However the concerns began from here. The mutton biryani had 5 pieces of mutton which was just bones and minuscule flesh on them as though the bones from stock was being used to make Biryani. The Kathal Biryani was ok. Both had good quantity and great pricing, but failed to deliver on taste. The raita was very watery, the salan with the biryani was a salan but not a hyderabadi salan. Both the biryani were spicy? Yes but lacked the spice proportion taste wise that a hyderabadi biryani is supposed to have. Tasted more like a pulao than a biryani. Was dry so dry that i had to drink water almost after every morsel to push it down my throat. It was fragrant but it did not taste like a Biryani. 

The dessert came in a jar with two table spoons of Firni which was okayish and had an overload of raisins in it. Will give them may b a 2.5 on 5. Will i order again. Definitely no. And it is Ironical that they are called 19 Flavors biryani coz i could not understand a single flavour
