George is an on-and-off place; its biryani is good sometimes, downright bad at other times. Blue Nile is a letdown, absolutely. There was a time when its biryani was something to die for, as were those large fried slices of surmai that weren't even mentioned on the menu. Tiranga is good, but more for Maharashtrian tastes -- the biryani here has a bit too much masala for my liking. All in all, my vote nowadays goes to Grand Darbar opposite Oldham Methodist Church on East Street, but even this guy needs to be consistent about keeping his biryani good. Or, if you can order by the kilo, then go to Rashid Caterers at Nana Peth, just ahead of City Church as the road curves to the left. Pump him up a bit, tell him his quality had dropped the last time you bought from him, and he is all fired up to provide you the best biryani you ever ate.

It is a tad costly at rs 120 per plate but is one of the best biryani i had in pune. i have tried at george's but the irani style of biryani making with chicken masala on plain biryani rice is not as flavourful or relishing or even mouthwatering as compared to Tamanna's. P.S: it can sometimes be spicy..also try the murgh musallum or chicken makhmali at tamanna (only when accompanied by atleast 2 more people) Try the biryani at Tamanna hotel in Hinjewadi infotech park opposite Infosys.
