It’s very hard to come across authentic, traditional biryanis around the Deen and I’ve not been overly impressed with what’s offered in any of the restaurants/takeaways. Rangoli is an exception.

Anyone who enjoys authentic Indian food should do yourselves a favour and try out the meals available in this gem of a takeaway. You won’t be...
