Al Kabsa is where it's at. Does it actually count as biryani? It's the king of biryanis if so.

Whatever it takes!!!
Probably for the Non-Veg stuff... As a vegetarian, I have found it hard to find a place better than Paradise.

Lots of them aren't going to be as traditional as you'd like because they're catering to local expectations of kormas and tikka masalas.
Leicester has some class Indian food though, mainly on or near Belgrave Road. Maybe not comparable to what I had in Rajasthan but great in its own right.

Yeah, people often forget India played the first series with DRS (UDRS as it was called then) and made a total meal of it. Sanga beat us black and blue there. And guess who was the captain of India then? Our current coach.
With Virat's impulsive nature and Kumble's legendary misunderstanding of how to use DRS, I expect the worst this series for us in terms of DRS reviews. We might even beat Watson.

The "veg biryani isn't biryani. It's ****ing pulao" is one of the truest things in the world. No meat=fail.

Haha this reminds me of a discussion I had with one of my colleagues.
Colleague (while having veg biryani for lunch): Veg biryani is bad.
weldone: Yes, present tense is appropriate for universal truths.

Dishoom is a good Indian restaurant, but the biryani there is the worst. The only semi-decent biryani that I've had in the UK was in a restaurant called Sachin's near Newcastle Central Station.
And by the way, Rajasthan is not a great place for biryanis (remember Mughals couldn't occupy mainland Rajasthan). Lucknow and Hyderabad are the 2 best places for biryani, followed by Kolkata and Delhi. I am sure some places in Pakistan make awesome biryanis, but I've never had the chance to visit.

You're right, apologies, I'll take it to the biryani thread.

The lamest Biryani is the one that the local Indians make in Singapore/Malaysia. They cook the meat and rice separately and serve it together with some sloppy curry. They even misspell it as Briyani the dumb ****s. The Chinese here love it though because they have weak stomachs and can't take the real deal.
