Truely Over-hyped Biryani!! Fu-get-about-it!!
I recently read about BLUE NILE being awarded the prize for the BEST BIRYANI in PUNE by none other than TIMES OF INDIA. I don't know if the people judging it were having sores on their tongue or kept hungry for a week. I visited Blue Nile to taste their much hyped Biryani with my spouse. To my dismay it was the most pathetic Biryani I had ever had... The serving is also very un-hygenic. I really cannot understand who on earth judged it as the Best Biryani in Pune.... Disgusting!! I would say people like TOI should atleast validated what they publish, to avoid embarassing and dispointments to readers like me.
We visited the place on Dassera day for dinner. We re-scheduled our visit to our usual eatout to try the so called BEST BIRYANI in Pune. We say a lot of people around, but were a little uncomfortable looking at the shabby and antique decor. The sitting was very crampy and uncomfortable too. We wasting no time ordered what we had come for... Chicken Biryani... We could not wait to taste the favour of the Best Pune stuff. At first glance it was nothing special from any other biryani we get in some dhabas. We thought what's in the looks.. it's the taste that counts. We sampled the biryani and the excitement soon died out... It was tasting as any other biryani we get in the road-side. There is one place in Koregaon Park next to Sweet Chariot, the biryani was much better there. Atlease he did'nt use the correct Biryani rice, but at Rs.40 a plate it's a common mans treat.
Blue Nile may have been the best in yeateryears... but if your looking for the same taste today... FORGET ABOUT IT GUYS!! it's not even worth the money they quote. I just paid my last visits there... and swear never again to BLUE NILE.
TAKE my word... don't even go there if your presented with a free coupon to enjoy your meal there. You'll be Biryani-phobic like me.

Briyani for Grandpa
Had heard a lot about the place. Was desperate to try out their Briyani!.. Well... was very very disappointed. May be they made good briyanies in the past, not anymore!. at 100 bucks its not worth eating their Briyani!, that too with zero service. You have to wait, and share tables with strangers and get served un - hygienically. Its just over hyped. Briyani is not what they make, briyani is heaven, and they dont have any idea about it.

not good for a veg biryani
Had really heard high of this place...for biryanis as raymasky mentioned. But the veg biryani was very very alright...i remember having nicer biryanis at similar costs in many other places.

Awesome Biryani Joint
Bule Nile has been and always will be one of the best places in pune when it comes to biryani's. Although recently they have diversified into chinese and other food (which aint that great ) , but this place will always be known for the great biryani they serve. The prices are pretty reasonable too. 100 bucks for a chicken biryani and 115 bucks for a mutton biryani. Also recommended is the tandoori chicken and other grilled stuff. Everything else here is just moderate ...but if you are in the mood for some good briyani ..then this is the place to go to !!
