Absolutely outstanding biryani! This takes the number 1 spot for the best biryani I've had in the US, and if BKNC Cafe keep cooking their biryani like they do right now, it's likely to remain at number one for the foreseeable future.
How do I love the biryani? Let me count the ways: The biryani is fragrant and tasty without being overspiced (most Indian/South-Asian restaurant biryani here in the US is ridiculously overspiced). BKNC's biryani is spiced with a deft hand so that the spices come through clearly and with just the correct amount of flavor without being an unpleasant punch in the face.
The taste, as mentioned earlier, is full and flavorsome without being unpleasantly spiced. And while on the subject of spices, you won't find inedible whole spices in BKNC's biryani, yet you get the flavor of every individual spice.
The biryani meat is succulent and melt-in-mouth without being unpleasantly stringy/fibrous/overcooked (a sad problem with other Indian restaurants in the Midwest). And the best part - the goat biryani is boneless goat, unlike most restaurants where goat dishes are ninety percent inedible bone and ten percent (if that) actual edible goat meat.
And while on the subject of meat, BKNC's biryani tastes like the meat and rice were actually cooked together for a while instead of just meeting for the first time in the takeout container. I can't tell you how rare and refreshing this is.
All in all, BKNC appear to cook their food with love and care, and I am actually encouraged to try their curries; I usually avoid the standard curries in Indian/South-Asian restaurants because it's mostly all the same one or two basic dishes in different disguises with no discernible difference in taste, but - given the care which they take with their biryani - I'm guessing that BKNC curries will be individually cooked with care, and well worth trying.
I only wish they weren't so far away - I live over 70 miles upstate of where they're located. I'd eat their biryani every...
Read moreCustomer service is great. I was greeted and they were very polite. I ordered Kachi biryani(goat) medium spicy and Lamb samosa. First off this is the ONLY bangali/indian resturaunt to ever give me green sauce with the samosas without asking for it. That sauce is a must have and i was very happy they inlcuded it. The lamb somosas were enormous and tasted phenomenal with the green sauce. When it comes to biryani i usually order goat. This kachi biryani is goat but comes with potatoes and stir fried onions. Sooo sooo sooo good. I will def come back here no doubt about it. The quality of food was great, customer service was great, and the quantity of food was wow. I know here in the USA we have big people and myself being 6ft 240lbs im left with food for later. Thank you guys and ill see you next time😁
