Reviewing Shivaji Military Hotel Again

Although I get to visit Shivaji Military Hotel on a regular basis with my clients, I never get to enjoy a full on biryani meal. After years I finally got to visit this place with my blogger friend Sowmya Gopi.

This place is definitely hyped and deserves the hype for their authentic delicacies. They hardly have 10 to 15 dishes on the menu and few people have tried all the dishes here. Mainly people visit the place for biryani and mutton pepper fry.

We had all the time and mind space to enjoy the biryani when we got to visit, but procuring a seat was hill climbing task. We literally stood next to the dinner and waited for a turn for almost 1 hour.

Standing is one place was worth it but not getting to taste few dishes I enjoy here was a let down. This place was packed people rushing in for lunch and takeaway was bit disorganised and messy, but service was excellent. We were lucky to taste the mutton biryani and mutton pepper fry but people waiting after us got only biryani rice as everything was sold out.

Please carry your own sprite or pepsi and water to the place. As the place is packed the waiter doesn't get to serve in time and this way I got billed twice for not even consuming bottled water and soft drinks.

We need lot of patience and all the time to procure a seat and enjoy the biryani here. Highly recommend a visit to shivaji. Few clicks listed on the blog is from Sowmya (you gotta try it) Blog. I have also listed the dishes I recreated inspired by military hotels...

Overall satisfied with the awesome biryani. Not that budget friendly when compared with few other places. Must try dishes part from biryani chilly chicken, mutton pepper fry, chicken fry and rasam...
