Halais Dum Biryani — Restaurant in Kerala

Bought a biryani from halais lulu trivandrum. It was my first time trying it. It is a utter flop and wasted purchase. It tasted shitty that can't even eat it properly. Chicken tasted bad. Rice was sticky and feels over cooked. What the hell was that salad, there was lot of onions and tomatoes but they pored more water than curd. Due to these i didn't wanted to try the pickle.

If I had the food inside the shop i would have reported this but unfortunately I had to buy parcel. I would escalate the issue if I have any further problem...

The salad had more water than curd, and the pickle seemed ready-made and overly vinegary. Despite this, the biriyani itself made up for it, and I'd still recommend Halais for anyone looking for a good,...
