From reviews, here are the strong points that come up often: • Good biryani quality: Many people say the meat (especially mutton) is juicy, well cooked.

Rating: 1/5

I recently visited this restaurant and ordered the Rajugari Natu Kodi Vepudu Biryani. Unfortunately, my experience was a letdown. Here's what went wrong:

Issues with the Order Misrepresentation: The menu mentioned "fry pieces," but what I got was broiler chicken curry dumped on top of the rice. Excessive Oil: The biryani was drenched in oil, making it almost inedible.

Overall Experience The biryani was, without a doubt, the worst I've ever had. The combination of misrepresentation and excessive oiliness was a major turnoff. For a restaurant that claims to serve authentic cuisine, this experience was disappointing.

Recommendations Improve Menu Accuracy: Ensure that menu descriptions match the actual dish. Balance Oil Content: Tone down the oiliness to make the dish more palatable.
