I agree that the Biryani has bones and also large seeds that seems to me like fruit seeds or something. I almost broke a filling biting on one of those. Also the rice tasted old as if reheated. As for the kufta plate, the meat was horrible and tasted like cow fat. I don't think I'll be going there again anytime soon. I just miss Blue Nile restaurant. It used to be in that small side street between Subways and Potbelly. It's been closed for 4 months now but I heard a rumor that they are opening soon. I sure hope so for the sake of our taste buds :) I went there a couple of times and tried the Chicken Biryani and the Kufta plate.

My favorite is the lentil soup, I'm still trying to figure out why it's so delicious. A word of warning about the meat dishes: the kitchen tries to de-bone a lot of the meat, but sometimes you'll find smaller shards that can easily and painfully stab you in the mouth! Just being aware of this while you're eating will probably save you from any problems.
