This restaurant is famous for serving Chinese and Mughlai cuisines. Degust nicely cooked chicken biryani, raita and fried chicken at AMBUR STAR BRIYANI SINCE 1890. Food delivery is a big plus of this place. The courteous staff works hard, stays positive and makes this place great. The enjoyable service shows a high level of quality at this spot. From the visitors' viewpoint, prices are low. The comfortable atmosphere is to be found here. But google users haven't given this restaurant a high rating.

They originally had a medium sized outlet near the Forum mall, but have since moved into the main food strip - right next to the Empire hotel in Koramangala, with a huge outlet. They've also expanded their menu to include some Veg/ Non-veg curries and Indo-Chinese dishes. This rounds off the experience for a group visiting - as not all the folks will want a biryani.
The Koramangala Lunch Group has had this on our list for ages, and we finally got around to visiting it this Wednesday. A bright and cheerful exterior was further complimented by the same look inside as well. The place was empty by the time reached (around 1.15pm), but luckily had a few tables filled up in about half an hours time.
We ordered the Ambur biryanis (Mutton, Chicken & Egg) along with a chilly chicken. The biryanis were served along with their excellent thick brinjal curry, and the diced onions in yogurt (not thin like a raita, more like an onion salad with a curd dressing).
I loved my biryani. Had without the gravy - it had a mild flavor with lovely aromas. Not spicy at all, and a dish where you can easily finish off the entire helping (it was large sized) without any sides/ gravies, and still feel really good about it. None of the obscene levels of garlic/ tomato as seen in the other "local" Ambur biryanis around town.
Add on the brinjal gravy/ onions/ side dish and the whole thing morphed into some thing else - lots of pepper spices, and the subtle biryani was subdued into total submission. Delicious this way too!
Pricing was slightly high - about 320 for a mutton biryani and 240 for a chicken biryani. But given the non-dingy interiors, good flavors, and decent service, I'm good with it.
