This is going to be a quick one. We got delivery from Indian Biryani Restaurant during our last run of nights. I had the Chicken 65 Biryani ($19, pictured) and the Achari Chicken ($14, not pictured). Both were very tasty, and probably a bit too tasty to be eaten alone without any non-flavoured staple food. The Chicken 65 Biryani was very edible and safe. My colleagues had some chicken tikka salad and the butter chicken and allegedly all was good.
My overall impression is this: Not many places deliver to work. It really wasn’t bad and we’ll probably get it again before the year is through.
UPDATE
In 2024, we actually went to the store.
Everything was still quite good, and the prices are still really good too. I somehow managed to convince my partner to have mutton biryani ($18.99) which we normally avoid due to a fear of gaminess. Luckily, it was actually quite delicious, and not gamey at all.
The butter chicken ($18.99) was a very normal butter chicken at a very normal price. No complaints, though it’s a bit of an insult to one’s intelligence to end your prices with a .99 suffix. Just call it $19 mate.
The garlic and cheese naan ($5 ea, $10 pictured) was a not a standout, a bit less good than the best ones that we’ve had around the city.
No complaints about this juicy and tasty half tandoori chicken ($14.99), served on a reflective aluminium foil surface for extra ambiance.

Loved coming across your unassuming, straight to the good stuff (blogging /..Food reviews?) style. Try some Bangladeshi Restaurants as well if you like indian, less spice using spicy curries and such:
1. Rockdale Hut Bazar is round the Corner (Try their Kachi Biriyani, or their Chicken Roast Curry (which is not really roast chicken as you know but you’ll learn about it Bangladeshi style). Also their Rui Fish curry.
2. Lakemba has – Desi Delight on Railway Pde for snacks and street food and chai and Sugarcane juice and bangaldeshi tradition sweets
3. Dhanshiri on the same street is also decent with again kachi biriyani. And Nihari (Bangladeshi style) alogn with lamb shank etc.
