Royal Biryani — Restaurant in Delhi

I've had 3 awful experiences with royal biryani...

1. A few months back I had their chicken tikka (with gravy). Let's talk about the gravy first. The yoghurt based gravy that they use had a very sour taste, almost tasted spoilt. Now coming to worst part, the chicken. The chicken was bloody RAW ! It was undercooked to the point where blood was visible on the insides of the bone. Some pieces even had a bit of red stuff on them. Disgusting !
2. On another occasion I ordered chicken changezi and had the misfortune to be confronted with that obnoxious piece of meat once again.
3. Recently I had their famed "chicken biryani". And the experience was horrendous! Having aromatic rice with the slimy, days old, rubbery and awfully obnoxious chicken was the last thing I had on my mind as my stomach groaned. I had terrible stomachache that night :(

I find it terribly difficult to see how anyone can like their food. I mean I would've ignored some of this had they had tighter pricing than the competition but for the amount of money they charge, the food is disappointing to say the least...

Pro-advice : Have you dinner at Al-Alam. It's on the opposite side...

I only tried the chicken biryani here and to be honest, I was more than pleasantly surprised. It is rare to find good biryani in Delhi which is easy on the pocket and this is one place which is best of both worlds. It is easy on your pocket and the taste is delicious. They make dum biryani here with potatoes which is famous in Bengal, you guessed it, for the potatoes. It might sound obscure to some but this type of biryani is very popular and prevalent in eastern India and has been for ages. I have fallen in like with this place and cannot wait to go back and hog the other dishes available as well. My only advice would be to create a better ventilation system in the sitting area as it gets hot because of the gas...

Loved the experience!! Well this was a post-protest dinner in Shaheen Bagh. After the exhaustion from the protest, we needed great Biryani and chicken. The Chicken Changezi stands exceptionally out. We got our Sheer Maal from another outlet close -by, but the experience was great. They served with full pleasure and were happy doing what they were. We were properly taken care of and everyone in the staff team was very polite, kind and helpful. Despite eating out of our limits, the bill amount for 5 people was shockingly cheap. Ambience and hygiene were 2 definite question marks as I hardly go to such restaurants but all the aforementioned things...
