Vendy Award Finalist: The Biryani Cart
Fair enough Zach, I'll retract my statements about pricing and the Biryani Cart owners being greedy.
As for the food, ingredients and taste Sufia I stand by my review.
Vendy Award Finalist: The Biryani Cart
My friend you don't have no idea about current market . the review you post about 'biriyani cart' you totaly worng buddy I think you should checkout there culinary background before you post any comments. and that man definitely not greedy or wana be capitalized if he does he should raise his price every month like "kwik meal" does".Biriyani cart" keeping with there tradition of bringing there customers the finest in quality as well as the finest selection, they have made changes to there menu and prices(current market value ) that we all can enjoy.
good luck for VENDY AWARD
Vendy Award Finalist: The Biryani Cart
@FoodinNY - I won't argue with you about the food, because everyone has different taste, and with these carts there is no question that it can be hit or miss from day to day depending on how busy they are, and who is doing the cooking. There's no excuse for bad food, but that could be one explanation for the difference in our experiences.
What I can say is this: They are definitely not greedy. I'm pretty sure the prices went up before they were nominated for a Vendy Award, and the simple fact is, none of these cart owners are getting rich. The cost of rice alone over the past 6 months has gone up an extraordinary amount, and these vendors just don't make that much money. Add to that the difficulty they face every day to keep their carts up to code, and not draw attention from the cops or the health department, and you've got a very difficult business to run. On top of that, the money they do make is not just for the 3-5 hours you see them serving food during lunch. Most vendors have to wake up super early in the morning, to pick up their carts from garages, and work until very late at night cleaning out the cart and preparing the food for the following day. Most street vendors work a minimum 60 hours a week. That's why an organization like the Street Vendor Projects exists, and why we should support the Vendy Awards. To call them greedy is completely unfair.
Vendy Award Finalist: The Biryani Cart
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
