#lockdown #biryani #supportlocaleateries support local eateries, takeaway meal, meghana foods, biryani, vegetable biryani, hyderabadi chicken biryani, boneless chicken biryani, aloo biryani, mutton biryani, koramangala, bangalore, bengaluru Hi folks, hope you are doing well. In this throwback takeaway biryani review, we visited Meghana Foods, a establishment that seems to have a formidable following for its biryanis that are mostly made in the Hyderabadi style with loads of masala. Purists may balk at the eatery’s top seller, a boneless chicken biryani that to me seemed like a culinary intersection of Sino-Indian and Hyderabadi fare! Love it or hate it, you certainly can’t ignore Meghana Foods! And to allay consumer fears in a covid world, they seem to be following many of the practices - temperature checks, hand sanitation, sealed takeaway packs, etc. - that will have to be the norm when it comes to eating out. Hope you enjoy this one, take care and stay safe. Note: This episode was first released in May 2020 and is being rerun to support local eateries. Special Veg Biryani A biryani that panders to a vegetarian’s biryani craving. The rice is flavourful, and the side of tossed vegetables draws clever inspiration from a mirchi ka salan in its flavours. Rs. 230 (usd 3) 8/10 Aloo Dum Biryani The potatoes are fried to a delicious brown and have absorbed the flavourful character of the fried onions and the spices. With the mildly spiced biryani rice, it makes for a tasty combination. Rs. 214 (usd 2.8) 7.5/10 Chicken Biryani A biryani that is made in the traditional Hyderabadi style with loads of masala, this is the biryani to try here. The meat is juicy, moist and flavourful, cooked perfectly to the bone. Rs. 242 (usd 3.2) 8.5/10 Chicken Boneless Biryani Tender morsels of boneless meat, tossed in a spicy batter are served as an accompaniment to fluffy grains of biryani rice. Though a dish that is far removed from a traditional Hyderabadi biryani, it still commands legions of fans, I suspect partly because the spicy morsels of meat and generous portion of rice served makes it ideal for sharing. Rs. 248 (usd 3.3) 8/10 Mutton Biryani The meat was a tad chewy and dry and lacking succulence, the rice though had a nice depth of flavour. Not a biryani that I would order again. Rs. 301 (usd 4) 7/10 Note: Due to the current uncertain situation, please call the eatery to ascertain the timings and what is available. Prices may have changed since when this episode was originally published a year ago.

#BestAndhraBiryani #Bangalore #GourmetOnTheRoad Most Popular Biryani Restaurants In Namma Bengaluru. Best Restaurants For Spicy Andhra Biryani In Bangalore. Widely famous for their Andhra & Hyderabadi style of biryanis, Nagarjuna and Meghana Foods are often pitted against each other. Without surprise both these eateries have a devoted following, most who swear-by the biryanis. Nagarjuna, an establishment that was set up in the early 1980s serves two Andhra-style, dum biryanis, a Mutton and a Chicken while Meghana Foods, a relatively new eatery serves an array of biryani to choose from, the most popular of which is a spicy, Chicken Boneless Biryani. In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers Editor, Kripal Amanna, tastes both biryanis at Nagarjuna and three of the crowd favourites at Meghana Foods, reviewing what makes each of these biryanis special. In conclusion, he tells viewers what could be the biryani for them based on their preferences! GOURMET ON THE ROAD RATINGS CHICKEN BIRYANI studded with a fair bit of whole spices - cloves, cardamom and cinnamon, which gives the biryani rice a fulsome flavour that serves well to embrace the chicken. rs 265 8/10 MUTTON BIRYANI the rice is similar in flavour to the chicken biryani, but the spices here seem more accentuated. The meat is soft, you can taste the gamey flavours of the fat.  rs 305 8.5/10 CHICKEN BONELESS BIRYANI made with long grain basmati rice, each grain is separate. topped with boneless chicken morsels coated in a thick, spirited masala, this is a biryani you can definitely share. rs 248 8/10 CHICKEN DUM BIRYANI served with a leg of chicken that is coated in a savoury, caramelised onion masala that threads through the long grained rice. the meat is cooked to the bone and is flavourful. a biryani that leaves you more than satisfied! rs 242  8.5/10 MUTTON BIRYANI the spicing in meghana biryanis is apparent on the palate, but absent on the plate. one sees no hint of any of the spices that have gone into the dish, but you can taste its presence. the masala in the mutton biryani is mellower than in the chicken version, allowing the flavour of the meat to take precedence.  rs 301 8/10 ADDRESS - Nagarjuna, 138, 1st Cross Rd, KHB Colony, 5th Block, Koramangala, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560 095;  LOCATION TAG - https://maps.app.goo.gl/SpakUTUDED1wd45Q7 ADDRESS - Meghana Foods, Jyoti Nivas College Road NearJyoti Nivas College, No. 124, 1st Cross Rd, KHB Colony, 5th Block, Koramangala, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560095 LOCATION TAG - https://goo.gl/maps/cCxWRFu3X1k1H9vS6 We guard the independent voice of our editorial features fiercely.
