With an increasing number of restaurants opening its doors in Navi Mumbai, it’s tough to not cultivate a soft spot for food joints in this part of town. A new addition to this list is Biryani Guru, which opened its doors in far-flung CBD Belapur, au00a0barely a month ago. With the idea of reaching work on time, we visited Biryani Guru at 11 am, opting for a take away lunch. The wait for our order took a little over half an hour during which the polite staff offered to get us a soft drink, while apologising for the delay. As we waited for our order to arrive, we couldn’t help but notice that the small space with a seating capacity of 20, had aesthetically charming interiors. Wooden chairs had pots engraved on them with steam coming out. There were many interesting set of celebrity photographs that adorned the walls including those of Led Zeppelin, Che Guevara and The Beatles. With adequate lighting and soft piped music, the pleasant ambiance did wonders for the overall experience.

Murg Tikka Dum Biryani (Rs 160) was delicious with a generous sprinkling of kaju.
