As a foodie and aLucknow local, I recently visited Idris Biryani , a small restaurant in the heart of the city, and I must say, it was an experience worth sharing. I was kind of shocked that being a local I have never visited this place.
Idris Biryani is a small, unassuming eatery located in the old city area of Lucknow , near the Chowk market. Despite its humble appearance, it is famous for its mouth-watering biryani, which is considered one of the best in the city. As I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by the aroma of spices and the sound of sizzling meat. The place was packed with locals and tourists alike, all waiting eagerly for their turn to taste the famous biryani.
I ordered a plate of chicken biryani, which came with a generous serving of raita and salad. As I took the first bite, I was blown away by the burst of flavors in my mouth. The rice was perfectly cooked, with each grain separate and fluffy, and the chicken was succulent and tender, infused with a perfect blend of spices. The biryani had just the right amount of heat, not too spicy, but enough to leave a pleasant tingle on my tongue.
What sets Idris Biryani apart from other biryani joints in the city is the use of traditional cooking methods.
The biryani is slow-cooked in a clay pot over a wood fire, which gives it a unique smoky flavor and aroma. The spices are freshly ground and hand-picked, ensuring the highest quality and authenticity. Apart from biryani, I also tried the seekh kebabs, which were equally delicious. The succulent and juicy meat was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of char and tenderness. The service at Idris Biryani was efficient and friendly, despite the crowds. The staff were quick to take my order and bring out thefood .
In conclusion, I would highly recommend Idris Biryani to anyone visiting Lucknow. The biryani is a must-try, and the kebabs are equally delectable. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous. Despite its humble appearance, Idris Biryani is a gem of a restaurant, and one that everyfood lover must experience at least once.
