The question was, where is the best biryani, and we raised it to our followers, and we
00:16
received like hundreds of recommendations, and we gather all these recommendations, whenever
00:22
they have more than one, three, four, five recommendations for our restaurant, we went
00:26
to visit and take it for ourselves.
00:28
We believe that, biryani, it's the cook, who's the cook, it's not the restaurant, it's not
00:35
the place, who knows how to chef, who knows how to do it, so, you see the five restaurants
00:42
we choose for the final, it is in different places, in different category, even some biryani
00:50
we need for 13 dirhams, other for 50, 60 dirhams, and so it's wide variety.
00:58
We put points, and we choose two main criteria, the taste, and the concept of the, what they
01:13
call it?
01:14
The mixture.
01:15
How the biryani composed together, I mean, because you have mutton rice and so, it should
01:22
be come together, and this, we put 40 points, and 40 points on the others, and we put on
01:30
the pricing 10 points, and presentation 10 points.
01:34
From September till today, we visit 54 restaurants, recommend by our followers.
01:52
We've been making this biryani right from the time we started, which was around five
02:04
years ago, and right from the beginning, our biryani has always been a favorite of many
02:09
of our guests, mainly because it has very home style taste that reminds you of the biryani
02:14
that's made in Bombay, so what's special about the Grub Shack biryani is that all of the
02:20
masalas are ground in our kitchen by our chefs from scratch, so we don't use any ready-made
02:26
masalas or spices, we have all of our spices flown in from India, and then it's all cooked
02:32
in our kitchen here, so the taste is very much exclusive to Grub Shack.
02:42
We have the best biryani in our town from Bombay and Dubai as well, and we use, we started
02:49
to serve biryani in 1952, but nothing like Jaffar Bhai, they come from Bombay, so I've
03:00
eaten there as well in Mumbai, and the biryani, the quality of the meat is very nice, it's
03:07
a succulent meat and the taste is different, it's a quite moist and wet biryani compared
03:44
to other biryanis, this is unique biryani, from all other people, all are using the boiled
03:48
muttons and everything, but this is having a very clean mutton.
04:15
I've heard about this biryani restaurant, my friends, my relatives, a lot of people
04:24
are present here, so they've told me that they make very good biryani, so I've come
04:29
here specially to eat this biryani, it's very good, Mashallah.
04:32
They make it, then I make it, then after me, my son is making it, Mashallah, this family
04:42
has been going on for a long time.
04:45
This is a raw mutton biryani, which we don't roast the meat, we marinate the raw meat,
04:52
then we put all the spices on it and put it on the stove, we don't turn on the stove,
04:58
so after adding the spices, we cook the rice and put it on it.
05:14
It was amazing, when we came into this restaurant, we found that, and they're saying, they're
05:20
winning in Gulf News, popular choice in 90s.
05:25
I've never thought of anything like this, it's from Allah, Allah has given me a gift
05:30
of Ramadan, and I try to earn my livelihood, and I try to make good food.
