I recently ordered a container of chicken biryani, and the experience was exceptional. The flavor was outstanding, with the chicken being incredibly juicy and perfectly infused with the rich masala. Each bite, combining the chicken and rice, delivered a burst of flavors that was truly delightful. The quantity was equally impressive, as there was enough to enjoy the next day as well, ensuring the experience lasted beyond just one meal.

Had a to-go order and tried 'Route 65 biriyani', It's delicious with the best quality and quantity and they have tailored the chicken texture and flavours according to our taste. The chef really needs an appreciation.? Can't wait to try another new dish here!!
