mmm the banana pudding looks delicious!

Just ate there today, I got the Chicken Biryani to go. The price was $6 and the kati rolls are 2 for $6 now. I was a bit put off that they raised their prices because of all this publicity and hoped it would be worth it. It was not.

Biryani Cart Review :
-The rice was dry and cold, some of the grains seemed even uncooked as they were crunchy / gummy.
-Chicken was tasteless and bland
-Sauce was unimpressive and there was very little of it
-Salad was standard cart fare no complaints
-Egg was a standard hard-boiled egg
-Mango pickle was being spooned out of a can by an elderly man without gloves : was it me or did it taste extra salty...?

Final Thoughts:
-All in all not worth the hype, Kwik Meal is definitely much tastier.
-B-L-A-N-D! Even the sauce was bland, and I didn't get much of it except a big clump on the salad. One would think everything would be a bit more aromatic having an Indian spin...
-Cold and uncooked rice didn't help the blandness either
-Despite the egg being a nice touch, the only thing that had any taste was the pickle which I didn't like either so I had that with the egg
-Price, inflation stinks and recession stinks but I'm pretty sure Biryani cart raised their prices because they are greedy and wanted to capitalize on this publicity
