Ammi's Biryani is Biryani ka baap, at least in Bangalore
Being a foodie, I am great fan of Biryanis and keep tasting it from different places. mind you in this article, i m only talking about take-aways and small restaurant which translate value for money. of course a leela or an Ista would definitely have a better or similar taste.
Being a Bengali, i can bet nothing beats a nawabi biryani, served with eggs, potato, mutton, biryani rice steamed in Desi ghee with a flavor of kewra jal and attar!!!!! yummm... It takes biryani experience to a different level and incomparable height and My mom in law undoubtedly wins the best chef award in this catagory
But if we talk about Hyderabadi biryani, the ones i have tasted in Bangalore, Ammi's biryani is the best. Mutton cooked to perfection and almost perfect biryani rice. Could be better with some flavor of ghee. They even have healthy biryani (talk about healthy and biryani at the same time!!!!)Yeah made with zeera samba rice, less ghee and spices (personally i think eating biryani without ghee and masala should be considered a crime).
Anyway i ordered it this weekend and had a good meal. Its just their online service can be a gamble. The last weekend that I ordered online, i was told after two hours that its sold out and was left looking at other options at 10 in the night! They informed me that their server could have a problem. So this time i avoided the risk and ordered over the phone but the lady on the other side took exactly 11 minutes to take the order. Phew! i was poorer by 11 rupees in my prepaid credit. Finally it arrived. I must say that the biryani was awesome and well packed with other accompaniments. But they should really work on their other varieties and their quantities. I ordered a tawa fried kebab and i was offered a green chutney marinated tiny chicken pieces. Anyway they are known for biryanis and they should be appreciated for that. I am sure they will take care of other things with time.
