sholakitchenuk opened some time ago, but they only used to be open for lunch. Since the beginning of October, they are now open for dinner thrice a week and they serve Biryani!
The place is done up in pastel shades and very soothing. I'd invited a friend to join me who was expecting a hole in the wall kind of place. She was very impressed at how trendy this place is.
Plenty of customers from the nearby media offices, but I'd called ahead for a table.
The food is fantastic! It's like something your grandmother would cook. Aida told us that these were all her family recipes and it shows!
The shammi kebabs and the chicken tikka boti were fantastic. I packed additional plates to bring home for lunch tomorrow!
The biryani was lovely too. Not too greasy, light enough on the stomach for dinner.
