“ The first time I was introduced to this simple, homely side-street mini restaurant was way back in 2006. The biryani is top class and comparable to none. The best ever! I came back to the same place 12 years later today and though the look and feel of the building is outdated and sort of run down, the quality of the food has remained exactly the same,if not better. (Don't go here is you want Michelin start fine dining) . .... This is for those who wish to indulge in simple but hearty, sumptuous, Swahili style pilau, chicken or beef biryani and the softest chapatis you have ever tasted. Thank you dear "Mama" for keeping this place alive and well throughout the years. ”
