As a matter of fact I thought the Lamb Biryani was good enough to live up to the "hype" I had read about it (that is, it would be "hype" if it had not been as good as people said it was). Some of the "hype" was that the biryani here is as good as in India, which of course I cannot verify, but I tend to believe it.

One thing I discovered is that it had a large quantity of lamb hidden inside the rice, making this much more of a meat dish than it appears. The pieces of lamb were moist and flavorful, and combined with the flavorful curry flavored sauce inside, made an excellent dish. I have learned to appreciate good lamb at several of Oklahoma City's Middle Eastern restaurants (such as Travel by Taste and Camilya's), and I thought the dish here had enough meat to qualify as a lamb dinner such as the ones I would get at these other restaurants. In fact, this take out dish ended up being one and a half meals for me (I had intended to split it in two, but when I got to the halfway point it was too good to quit eating at that point).

With this as a background, though, it brings up a question I had about the restaurant. The lamb biryani cost about as much as the lamb dinners at these other restaurants, and this is perfectly understandable. Other types of biryani, though, were almost as expensive. I thought the rice was very good, along with the seasonings in it and the raita yogurt sauce served on the side. I can understand the lamb biryani costing as much as it does because of the meat inside, but I am not sure why some of the other dishes cost as much as they do (based on the price of biryani I have seen at other restaurants). My qualification to this, though, is that I have not tried these other dishes so I do not know if the prices charged are justified (but the entire menu seems to be on the high side for Indian restaurants).
