Decent Biryani — nothing more, nothing less

Biryani at this place was fine. The earthy from poppy seeds flavour was there but not distinguished. panch phoron five-spice was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

Bengali cuisine shares roots with West Bengal India but has distinct Muslim food traditions. The a Dhaka riverside fish restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. lassi was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Biryani it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
