Harish Lamb Biryani is a regal feast for the senses. Its intoxicating aroma of saffron, cardamom, and cloves sets the stage for a sublime experience. The basmati rice is flawlessly separate and fluffy, infused with golden color and complex spice notes. The true star is the lamb—succulent, fall-off-the-bone tender, and deeply marinated, offering a rich, savory counterpoint to the fragrant rice. Each layered bite is a harmony of texture and flavor, both hearty and elegant. Served with cool, creamy raita, this dish is a perfect, soul-warming culinary masterpiece that truly deserves its legendary status. An unforgettable dish.

Syed A Inan I went to this small Bangladeshi restaurant today, just a stones throw walk from Upton Park station, called Choruibhati. Not a commercially chain or one of the posh eating palces one might go for a meal. In fact, it is at the moment sitting in the middle of a construction site. We ordered Kachchi Biriyani, Tehari, Duck Bhuna with Pilau, Beef Bhuna with Pilau, Jorda rice, Halim and Borhani as takeaway. At first I was pretty skeptical about the food, but, once my nostrils had a whiff of the food, I realised I was about to be amazed. And, amazed I was. The food was rustic with blends of carefully mixed subcontinental spices that subtly brushes your palate in layers. Any trace of spice is washed away by the complex tangy-spicy-sweet-milky taste of the Borhani. Each dish can be tasted separately due to the differentiated spice blend, unlike all the commercial curry houses where one sauce is used for all the dishes. Comparing to most of the High Street commercial curry/biriyani houses, this is a hidden gem in the heart of East London. There is space for family or a group of 15+ as well as anyone using a wheelchair (down stairs) to sit and enjoy a hearty Bangladeshi exquisite meal. The Chef, Nizam, is a kind man with a warm smile. N.B: Due to constructions wheelchair access at the moment may not be suitable.
