Bismillah Biryani (Little India)

I was surprised we could order Bismillah. Excellent as always.

Even though they have been listed on Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand for many years, the shop is surprisingly so quiet on weekday night time for dinner.

I was the only customer when arrived, only a handful of people coming in to dine in or takeaway.

Their signature chicken briyani available in small, regular or large size. Served with a piece of egg on the top.

The chicken meat is hidden inside the briyani rice, tender and flavourful. Unlike many briyani places, here they don’t serve it with curry but a bowl of yogurt instead.

Good, quite difficult to pull out though even with their advice, i cracked the entire thing. But tastes mainly of cardamom really

Overall the branches seem to be quite consistent so pick the one near you, plus idt every branch has chef mike

Given how good their mango Kulfi was, i shouldnt have been surprised by the incredible quality of this

Thick, rich, and creamy, they're masterful at combining mango and yoghurt flavours. It's incredibly satisfying to drink, and just as hard to stop

MUST try

Mutton was fatty and tender, grains were fluffy

But its microwaved. Too fast plus uneven heating, no wonder theres not a single soul here.

And theres a huge pool of oil at the bottom

Pass

Michelin Bib Gourmand Briyani, that's located at Dunlop Street, which is in Little India Vicinity.

This briyani is not served with any curry. But like most dum briyani i had, the chicken is coated with dry curry and fried onions. Chicken was tender, but the breast meat part can get rather dry. Rice was fragrant.

This certainly is one of the better briyani place I had.

Interior was a little dark and depressing to be honest.
