Mutton Biryani
Why Mutton Biryani? Well, it is more delicious than any other meat which gives the juices from the bone, which is definitely a plus point in the taste of a mutton Biryani. If we talk about the Biryani, the first and foremost is going to be Mutton Biryani itself. With the flavor, soft meat, and elegant rice, this place nails it on all terms.
On the other hand, they also have some of the best mutton chops, kolapuri chicken, chicken fatafat, and mutton cutlets. You can also try Fish Tawa Fry, which tastes delicious and is super tender.

Make sure you reach before noon because once the crowd starts flowing in, the biryanis are sold out within an hour or two.
Ambiance
Coming to the ambiance, the seating arrangement is very basic here, with not much décor or luxury furniture. However, it is a reasonable place to experience the best food. When too much crowd bothers the place, you could always move to the muddy wrestling pit where blankets are spread to help those who couldn’t get a table.
