Reviewers rave that TB Biryani’s namesake dish is a fragrant, soul-warming masterpiece, with Mark Wiens calling it an instant wow. The overall vibe is pure, unpretentious comfort that keeps diners coming back for more.
“Oh wow, that is so flavorful. The rice just melts in your mouth and I love it — it's just perfectly not too oily but perfectly oily, perfectly moist, rice is so fluffy. That combination of spices and you really taste the flavor of the onions in there as well. The chicken is just fall-off-the-bone tender, you can just take your spoon and run it through that chicken and it's just going to collapse. The bone just totally falls off. Making biryani is really a work of a labor of love.”
