The high from the mutton biryani at Dindigul Thalappakatti last time…
was followed by the disappointment of the amaravathi chicken biryani this time from the new BiryaniZ branch on Castro, Mountain View:
They didn’t have the Hyderabad biryani so the amaravathi it was. I just couldn’t get past the unpleasantly dry and starchy texture of the rice. The chicken at the bottom was coated with a spicy sauce. I don’t recall the Vijayawada biryani from their Milpitas branch had the same type of rice texture. My suspicion is that they used lower cost basmati.
