Samarkand, Infantry Road, Bangalore

For starters, this restaurant seems to be quite popular in that getting a seat on a Wednesday night was not as easy as I thought it would be.
The seating is quite bad - quite low and small - they have tried to create a 'Dhaba' style seating. I am taller than the Indian average @ 6ft, but it was inconvenient even for my companion who measures 5'4". The lighting too is quite dark and could have been a bit brighter.
The Kameeri ki roti is one made with marinated dough and was quite fluffy and different. The Lagan Ka Murgh was very good and so was the mutton biryani. The biryani was a bit low on salt but the flavours and the succulence of the meat was simply superb.
Service is good but could have been better considering there is a 10% service charge in the bill.
Liquor is pretty costly with a bottle of beer coming to around INR 200/- and a small of RC whiskey costing INR 175/-.
The total bill for the aforementioned food + 1 large whiskey + a bottle of water came to around INR 1450/-
Reco - mind the seating - but a must visit for the biryani.
