Totally
avoidable
place......
The
first
time
I
had
been
to
birista
I
think
was
two
years
back
(
I
am
not
sure
of
the
time)
I
remember
they
had
just
started
the
setup,
the
food
especially
the
biryani
served
was
awesome!!!.
After
that
I
even
had
placed
online
orders
too.
Well,
coming
to
my
experience
yesterday...
It
was
extremely
disappointing.
We
went
with
great
expectations...
Infact
since
we
had
went
uninformed,
had
to
wait
for
over
45
minutes...
But
all
of
waited
socha
food
would
be
worth
waiting.
Issues
:
The
place
was
hot...
AC
either
don't
work
or
the
capacity
is
not
adequate.
Once
again
the
thought
was
the
food
is
going
to
be
awesome...
Pros:
staff
is
well
mannered
and
helpful.
Now
the
Food:
Chicken
Starters
and
soups
were
good
especially
the
Bihar
kebabs
(
I
think).
Even
the
quantity
is
good.
The
disaster:
Birista
signature
biryani
🙁
Ordered
family
portion.
The
stuff
served
was
anything
but
Biryani.
Absolutely
tasteless.
The
masala
comprised
loads
of
onion
mixed
with
coriander
masala
(
that's
it)..
The
rice
was
flavorless
and
the
chicken
was
undercooked
and
was
equally
tasteless.
To
think
that
we
had
to
pay
for
eating
half
cooked
masala
chawal
as
biryani
still
hurts
and
feels
total
insult
of
the
cuisine.
I
thought
after
making
my
dislike
very
clear
the
manager
would
consider
waiving
off
the
charges...
Not
a
chance
instead
they
went
on
to
levy
additional
Rs
5
on
supposedly
cold
mineral
water.
Never
going
back
again....
