Biriyani County, Langford Road, Bangalore

The place has 4-5 tables and a few chairs and can seat around 20 pax. It is non air-conditioned and nothing in it to mention about the interiors. Although the board says it is a family restaurant it is more of a takeaway and hence the few chairs and tables - basically to seat the people who are waiting to pick up their orders.
Again, despite being called Biriyani (flavoured and spicy aromatic rice generally cooked with mutton or chicken and made with Basmati - long grained - rice. It is cooked in different ways across the length and breadth of India) County, the place serves both North Indian and Chinese cuisine. There are only chicken and egg biriyani on the menu. The place serves some vegetarian and some egg and chicken based dishes. All other types of meat are out of the menu.
The biriyani costs INR 70/- for a plate and has at least one leg, a portion of breast and a portion of chicken wing - quite a bit. The rice was not aromatic to say the least. It was more of a yellowish rice in which the chicken was also cooked. It was unlike any biriyani I had ever had. Apart from the healthy serving of chicken, the only good thing about this biriyani was that it was not oily.
I had ordered a chicken pepper fry but ended up being given a chili chicken - costing INR 80/-. Nothing special about this dish too. The service was quite cordial.
Reco - Avoidable - except when you need to pick up some food in a hurry.
