Behrouz Biryani

Image
 I had heard about this brand and wanted to check it out. They offered to send me some food at home for a review. Since my family is vegetarian , I asked only for veg food.  The delivery arrived on time, and was packed nicely. For starters, we had the spinach corn tikki . It was soft and a little crispy on the outside. It tasted really good and was served with khubz and a salad. For the biryani, we had one subz-e-biryani . The aroma of the biryani was just too good and we couldn't wait to dig in. The flavour too lived up to our expectations and we really liked it.  The other biryani was the zaikedaar paneer biryani . The spiced paneer added a lot of flavour to the biryani, and I enjoyed this even more than the subz-e-biryani. The biryanis were served with raita and gulab jamun. The gulab jamun too was soft and yummy.

Dabang - Ripe Market

Image
 This is a food truck located at the Ripe Market in Umm Sequim and I was invited to try out the food here. The market is lively on the weekends but quite secluded on weekdays. We started with the pankhi chicken kebab . These kebabs had stuffing of various spices and it tasted delicious especially along with the sauce that's served with it.  For our mains, we had the fish curry . The fish was fried and the orange semi-gravy was totally on point. It had the flavour of chillies and curry leaves to it.  We had it along with the garlic naan . Then we had the chicken tikka biryani . This was flavourful and had a lovely aroma of the spices to it.  For our dessert, we had the mango falooda . It wasn't overly stuffed with dry fruits which is what I liked. Taste a spoonful and you won't be able to resist.  Lastly, we ended our meal with a hot cuppa chai which felt comforting.  This place is located inside the police academy grounds. Ample parking is available. ...

Five Star restaurant - Sharjah

Image
 Don't be fooled by the name of the place. It is a pocket friendly multi-cuisine restaurant. They've got Indian, Arabic, and Indo-Chinese. They got us some refreshing drinks. I really liked their strawberry lassi . We started with the Arabic salad platter . This has tabbouleh, fattoush, hummus, moutabel, and vine leaves. It was nice and fresh. Everything tasted good. The vine leaves were warm as opposed to the cold ones that you usually get, but tasted really nice nonetheless.  Then we had some cheese balls . These were also stuffed with some potatoes and were quite good.

This has prawns, fish, lobster, and mussels. Since we didn't want mussels, they replaced it with a bigger fish. They suggested the lobster in manchurian s...

Hitchki - Global Indian fusion

Image
 I had visited their other outlet and totally loved it. I was invited to try this outlet which was launched recently. The place has a nice decor and feels upmarket. They have a wide variety of dishes whose names are a play on words; a lot of them being Bollywood / desi references (you can click below) and a twist to them.  They have some desi drinks as well as some healthy and fusion ones.  We started with the punjabi lassi . This is a kesar flavoured lassi served in a tall glass along with a malai pedha. There is a lot of foam on the glass too and it makes it look royal. It was perhaps my favourite beverage here. Definitely try it out.  For the health freaks, the mission mangal will surely appeal. It has beetroot, organic raisin, and cranberry slush in it, and is served to look like a rocket launch with a lot of smoke around it. It did taste good, but it was a bit too "healthy" for my liking.
