Beriyani in Lyon

Today I went to a "beriyani" shop in Lyon with Dinie and Goh. (I can never make up my mind how to spell "beriyani")

It isn't really beriyani...it just resembles it slightly. The rice (basmati, I believe) is fried (like fried rice, not deep-fried, okay?) with some sauce and the chicken is tandoori chicken. But who cares if it's not really beriyani? It's delicious! :D

Yum-my!

It's an awfully big plate, though. I had been there once before to try the rice, so today I tried the kebab. And I bought the rice for take-away; I can reheat it later! :P

Here's the kebab:

for two people; not all mine, okay? :P

Unlike some other kebab shops where you can choose the kind of bread you want (the prices might vary), in this shop there is only one kind of bread. They make it themselves, it's actually like naan, but fluffier, I think. It tastes really good; in fact I didn't find the kebab in itself very special, but the bread kinda made up for it.

Here's what it looks like inside:


The one I ordered was an Indian kebab, and it only has a piece of meat inside - a long sausage-like piece, made of minced meat. I think the next time I'll try the kebab with another filling (the other choices are chicken and vegetarian, so I guess it will be chicken :P).

The only problem is that the shop is really far from our place...just the thought of making the "journey" there can put us off going there... :( That's why I wanted to take-away the rice, instead of going there another time soon ;)
