Year 2004, I used to work out of Mahalaxmi and heard of this popular eatery called NOORANI. All my colleagues would rave about the food. I love biryani, would bring fond childhood memories of the aroma surrounding my home when mom would cook especially around a memorable family occasion. NOORANI, for me, was reminiscent of that. The Biryani was heavenly, worth the price paid for and I would order to celebrate personal milestones in the work place. Even the Gravy and Roomali were a regular order for me.
Year 2024, 2 decades later, no longer working around Mahalaxmi, Mom is hospitalized. I said to myself, I will order from NOORANI when Mom is discharged so I can take home wonderful memories along the way along with the happiness of a dish I so very much loved.

That made me feel seriously concerned about their hygiene. The AC Room is pretty small and has just 3-4 tables. If you have a large group of 8-10 people then you'll have to sit at separate tables and have your meal.
