I’ve had three biryanis at Hyderabadi Zaiqa (52nd, off 9th – or #95 on the NYT list) and they’ve all been very tasty – the rice loose-grained and fragrant, the meat (goat on two occasions) tender, and the fish (third occasion) not overcooked. I highly recommend the place.
Comment: What’s a true biryani and what’s not is a complex question. Without getting into all that, the food at HZ is exceptionally good.
