"As the name suggests, biryani is the specialty at this Indian restaurant in North Austin that serves nearly two dozen varieties, including an Arabic goat mandi only offered on the weekends. The biryani is tasty, if a little light on the meat, but our favorite things here are the chaats and goat curries. The dining room looks like it lived a former life as a Mediterranean restaurant, with stone walls and brick archways dividing up the room, while chandeliers and fake flowers hang from the tall ceilings. But this is not a place to judge by its name or its appearance. If anything, use the crowd spilling out the front door—or the intense aroma of toasted spices in the dining room—as an indicator that you’re in for a good meal. photo credit: Nicolai McCrary photo credit: Nicolai McCrary photo credit: Nicolai McCrary photo credit: Nicolai McCrary" - Nicolai McCrary
