My opinion:

I arrived on 13:00 (1 p.m) and was very disappointed to find out that mutton briyani was sold out at this stall. I had no choice but to try out their chicken briyani (they only offer 2 types of briyani). I was a bit stunned when I knew the price was $5.00. This simple Indian food only cost $3.00 to $4.00 a few years ago. So a price hike of 20% to 40% is not acceptable especially there are so many hdb residents living nearby.

Let's move on to the food quality. The rice was delicious, fragrant and well cooked. Curry was a bit too salty and watery. Where was the ah-zha? I remembered there was ah-zha in their briyani a few years ago. The real problem lied with the chicken meat. It was average tasting, bland and too tough to bite. Honestly, I did not find enjoyment even in the chicken wing portion.
