Please note that this review was specially written for the chef at Curry Star. The chef was kind enough to come and tell me he was doing some experiments with the biryani, including removing colours from the rice, which was a great initiative. The following is my honest feedback to the chef about the biryani he prepared for me (Chicken 65 biryani)
I recently tried the chicken 65 biryani at Curry Star Ballarat, an intriguing dish the chef was experimenting with. While the adventurous spirit is commendable, the execution fell slightly short.
The rice, while slightly overcooked initially, improved after some time. However, the lack of sufficient gravy was a significant drawback. A biryani, after all, is a harmonious blend of flavours and textures; without enough gravy, the plain basmati rice can feel a bit underwhelming.
Given the high standard of biryani offered by other local establishments, Curry Star's biryani requires further refinement to truly shine. It's a promising start, and it could become a standout dish with a little more attention to detail.
PS: I request the chef to please respond to this review. Once I get a response, I will be removing this review.
