14 euro is very expensive for chicken biryani. And chicken was not cooked well, so was not good flavoured with spices. Taste like dutch people making chicken. I did not enjoy so much.

Best biriyani in town. Their tandoori chicken biriyani is one of the best Ive had in the Netherlands. Portions are perfect and prices are affordable as well. Definitely a staple place to order from in Rotterdam.

Really wonderful choice if you are looking for Indian breads and rice variety specifically Veg biryani and Samosa are really excellent there. Be aware they closed on every Wednesday. Price also nominal when compare to any other Indian restaurants in Netherlands.
