After a week in London and Paris my desi tastebuds we're begging for some masala. Tired of "croissants" and scones, after eating my fair-share of fish and chips with no seasoning, waiting for 1.5 hrs for fancy desi food that was served cutely but the spices were just off(wtf is blueberry kheer! Fusion is no always good.), after scouring Paris and finding that every time I ordered chicken it was boiled and sweet. I had finally thrown in the towel. My husband was adamant that we try Al-Hyderabadi. I reluctantly gave in. I'm so HAPPY I gave in.
The food was fresh and the flavors were on point. Beware it is spicy so if you're with the kids or you just don't do too much spice ask them to tone it down. My husband was profusely sweating but also loving every morsel.
The food was delicious and we scarfed down plate after plate.
The damage done: only €30!!!! We ordered so much food and still only €30. That's how much we paid for 4 macarons, a cup of coffee and a scoop of ice cream in Paris or for 1/2 of 1 person for high tea in London. So this was a great deal for a meal for 4 people where we ordered at our hearts' content.
Come here! Uber, walk, run!
The biryani was delicious. Loved the accoutrements/raitas and mirchoun ka salan, the Karahi was delish and the meat was so fresh and tender. The chicken tikka was hit with the kids. They know how to do it right. The spiciest was the Chicken 65, but also my husband's favorite. Ask them to tone it one down but get it because the flavors are on point!
After we went here our tastebuds thanked us and then started nagging for a regular normal cup of chai. So off to Southall we went! read more
