  On May 28, 2023, around 1:15 PM, I made the unfortunate decision to have the buffet at a Bawarchi Biryani's Miami, FL. To say that the experience was disappointing would be an understatement. The assortment of dishes on offer, such as Chicken Fry, Goat Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Chole, Brinjal Curry, and others, was below par and lacked any semblance of taste or flavor. Let's start with the Maida texture –Chicken Fry. It was old, dry flavor less and lacked any seasoning whatsoever. The chicken pieces were tough, seemed like they had been sitting out for far too long and this smells odd or different The Goat Biryani and Chicken Biryani were equally disappointing. The biryani rice was below subpar for the flavor, and the meat was tough and lacking in any discernible flavor. It was evident that the biryanis had been prepared hastily and without care. The Gongura Goat Curry has 98% bones, and the gravy was decent. Moving on to the Chole, it was a complete disaster as well. The chickpeas were mushy and overcooked, and the gravy had a strange, artificial taste. It seemed like they had used some premade, store-bought masala rather than preparing it fresh. The Brinjal Curry was no better. The brinjals were undercooked and tasteless, and the gravy lacked the rich flavors that one would expect. I must admit that the only saving grace of the buffet was the ready-to-fry samosas, vegetable biryani, and cashew biryani. These items were passable and somewhat enjoyable, but they certainly couldn't compensate for the overall disappointment of the buffet. Based on this experience, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this buffet to anyone, be it colleagues or friends. The lack of taste, poor quality of ingredients, and overall subpar preparation of the dishes left a lasting negative impression. The establishment should seriously reconsider their approach to the buffet and strive for higher standards. In future I would opt for their à la carte menu in the future, as it is possible that the individual dishes might be better prepared and offer a more satisfying dining experience. However, I will never subject myself or anyone I know to the buffet ever again. Finally the Gulab jamun seems to be the one from the Indian store. I used to feel proud before that the south Indian restaurants are better but it is only for Al Cart. 5/100 for todays Buffet. Never again !
