BKC Biryani Kebab Chai Marble Arch

I was more than impressed visiting @bkc.restaurant. Honestly my impressions were that it's a casual restaurant but I was quite wrong. Prices are on the higher end but oh my the food was top notch. The biryani was decent but in my opinion you can pass on that and go for the "kebabs" /grills instead. All the ones I tried - wow. The quality of the chicken, the marination and flavours made me think this is a top Indian restaurant. The galouti kebab (lamb) which I know as a tunde kebab just broke apart so easily. This is rare to find and just melts in your mouth. Generally all the grilled meats were fantastic. For curries I tried the lamb bhuna which was on the sweeter side but I really enjoyed the murgh makhni - perfect. Desserts held up to the mains as well. Falooda was great but my pick would be the gajar ka halwa because it was actually done properly. But even that gulab jaman was lovely. Quality food and I highly recommend.

Taste was very good but extremely overpriced!!!! 3 small pieces of kebab for £16-17!!! One pot of biryani £17. For one time it’s good but definitely i won’t go back (for the price!!). Also, the employees were very attentive (may be a bit too much because one employee almost snatched the glass from a table when the customer was still not finished. Probably they wanted to take the dishes to kitchen asap which looked very weird). Waited for ~20-30 mins which was still understandable because there were other guests before us waiting. We walked in and got a table straight away.

I tried the chicken biriani, galouti kebab, and house daal with roti and naan. The rice of the biriani was quite fragrant, the galouti felt like lamb tartare as it was very very soft and the daal was ok. I don't think I would go back, sorry. For indian food, it wasn't all that. The service is good though
