Scrumptious Biryani

Best Biryani- If you ask me I would say it is made at home. But, if you want to eat best biryani from some restaurant then Student Biryani is the right place for you.

I think now it is official that Lahori restaurants, despite all the struggles, could not come up with a successful biryani. I admit this with utmost distress that all the Lahori restaurants that have had biryani on their menu, haven't been able to go past a typical Pulao. It caused half of the Lahori population to misunderstand the true taste and potential of biryani and the other half to hate it. But, Now Student biryani from Karachi have jumped in to fill the gap. It has been a perfect hit so far.

It is located in Fortress Stadium opposite to joyland. Student biryani is a variant of the Bombay biryani and therefore includes potatoes in the most tender, yet undamaged, form. Rice grains are soft but separate from each other, almost religiously following the definition of an ideal biryani. Taste is better than just good. You will begin to feel the aroma as soon as it is served and it will follow you even after you have left the restaurant. If you had it in lunch, Occasional belches will keep reminding you of the same aroma for the rest of the day, but that can be a bit annoying of course. My fellow readers who have been to Karachi or southern India will instantly recall the fragrance and the ones who have not been there will not be able to forget it.
