Allauddin’s Briyani

Tekka Market is home to dozens of stalls that claim to be the best in the same thing: nasi briyani. Yet among them all, Allauddin’s ($5) comes out top. Its reputation lies in the briyani rice. Perfumed with heady spices, the fluffy basmati reawakens the taste buds instead of weighing down the palate. So despite its generous portion, you won’t have trouble scooping up every single grain of rice and shred of mutton. Special mention goes to the vegetable dhal and achar that add zing to the meat and rice.
