Read moreI live super close to Dukes so it's my go to place when I'm too lazy to cook. Things to try: Chicken Masala Fry I order the half quantity. It's enough for two people. It comes with a piece of tender chicken and a boiled egg. The gravy is heavenly. It's spicy and creamy and all kinds of delicious. The taste hasn't changed since we began ordering a decade ago. Chicken fried rice Good long grain fried rice with generous amounts of chicken and egg. Chicken Biryani The biryani is unlike anything. It's got a sweet oniony flavour and is cooked in the Malabari style I believe. Keema Fry The perfect Sunday morning breakfast. Greasy, spicy, and juicy. It's the perfect mopped up with some pao, onions and with a squeeze of lime on top. Honourable mentions: Egg Roll (something I've started ordering recently), Buff Sukka, Mix veg, Chana masala.
I've started to go with my own container and collect my food. The wait isn't very long and cuts down on unnecessary...
