#BiryaniByKilo #Wanowrie #MurgHyderabadiBiryani #Review2... 10.3.20 After the Sunday fiasco about biryani, which really put us off... Last night, got a call from Mr. Sharma, from call center of Biryani By Kilo, at Gurgaon. He was very apologetic about the quality of biryani delivered on sunday. And said that we should try their Murg Hyderabadi or Lucknowi Biryani. And wanted to send complimentary biryani. Which I refused. But he insisted and said that we should try. So received their Murg Hyderabadi Biryani. Had at Lunchtime today. Definitely, quantity wise also it was more. The quality of rice was also better and it was well cooked and had flavours. And 4, big and well cooked chicken pieces. This biryani came with salad and salan. Definitely, better than the Kolkata Chicken Biryani. Thanks to the management, for the corrective action.
#BiryaniByKilo... 8.3.20 #Wanowrie #KolkataChickenBiryani Mostly, have never had a very bad or disappointing, food experience. And neither do I write or post very negative reviews. But this was really a very let down experience. Today, being Women's Day, decided to spend time with my Mom and Dad. So went visiting them. Being Women's Day, hubby didn't want the ladies to cook...❤. So decided to order and try from... Biryani By Kilo, Wanowrie branch. As there were lot of hoardings and advertisements of this place. So, expected it to be good. Ordered, Chicken Kolkata Biryani 1/2 kg... Rs 375/- with taxes, Rs.458.75. Normally, one serving of biryani is sufficient for 2 of us. So presumed, that this is equivalent to 2 biryanis. As parents are small eaters... They both eat, equivalent to 1 person. So presumed, this portion will be more than sufficient. The biryani, came in with a lot of fanfare... In atta sealed earthen pot... and earthen base with 2 tea lights ( they had mentioned, there are 3 tea lights ). This was for reheating. 2 small containers containing Raita and Salad. All well sealed. Was quite impressed. At lunchtime, when we tried reheating, as per their method... on that earthen burner, with tea lights... It was a big flop show. Finally, had to remove to a microwaveable container. And when we opened it, we were shocked to see, just 2 insipid looking pieces of chicken, 1 boiled egg and 1 boiled potato. Anyways, reheated it. The rice had no flavour or taste, just kewra flavour. And the 2 chicken pieces, seemed to be cooked and boiled separately, with minimal spices and just added to the rice, along with boiled egg and potato. Plus, the quantity was very less... Almost, equal to 1 serving of biryani. Not worth its price... Luckily, hubby had ordered some chicken curry, from nearby restaurant. And we had that with fresh,...

They are mainly cloud kitchen but they also have Dine in in many cities but in Pune it's only delivery kitchen. They also provide catering services for events too.
FOOD Ghee Roast Chicken This is my personal favorite appetizer for the southern cuisine. This is chicken roasted in clarified butter that is Ghee. This is roasted with a onion based masala having red chilli powder and roasted garam masala to it along with some curry leaves. As the chicken was cooked along with the masala, the spices sipped into the chicken. As you took a bite of chicken the spices exploded in the mouth. The chicken was tender and juicy. One or the best ghee roast I had.
Chicken Korma Chicken Korma is a rich Indian mains dish. This is made from yoghurt cashew nut paste and some garam masala spices. This was very mild on spices have a prominent taste of the yoghurt and cashew nut. I would preferred a bit more spice in the curry. Though the chicken was cooked perfectly and was tender.
Chicken Biryani This is what makes this brand special, "The Chicken Biryani". First thing you see is the way they send you the parcel. The biryani is served in a eathern pot. This pot is also sealed with the dough. This shows that this biryani has real dum not a oven heated biryani. Now about the taste, this is proper layered dum biryani. The masala was expectation great had the perfect garam masala taste. The chicken was also tender. The masala was infused into the rice which makes it most flavorful. This was real dum biryani not like other cloud kitchen delivery biryani.
Phirni Phirni is rice pudding. Phirni is usually not that sweet which makes it better. They had added a strong flavour of the kesar into the phirni. The taste of kesar added elevated the...
Read moreDisappointing Experience with Biryani by Kilo
We ordered 2 kg of chicken biryani from Biryani by Kilo, but unfortunately, our experience was a letdown. Here's a breakdown of our review:
Quantity: 1/5 The quantity of chicken in the biryani was extremely disappointing. With hardly any pieces of chicken, the biryani was mostly dry rice. The lack of gravy made it even worse. Their claim that half a kg of biryani is sufficient for one person is misleading.
Quality and Taste: 1.5/5 The biryani lacked consistency in terms of spices, with some portions being spicy and others bland. Unfortunately, it resembled and tasted more like pulao than authentic biryani, missing the aromatic flavors and spices that define a good biryani.
Customer Service: 1/5 The customer service was subpar. Despite multiple complaints and reviews, there's been no improvement, which is disappointing and frustrating.
Conclusion Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Biryani by Kilo. If you're looking for a delightful experience with family or a refreshing surprise for your taste buds, this is not the place. Perhaps it's time for them to reconsider their tagline from "Authentic Biryani" to "Pulao Disguised...
