Mirchi Kola

Somewhat in the middle of the Pune city, there is MG Road. Somewhat in the middle of MG Road, there is a hip, hep, and much harped about restraunt called Mirchi Kola.

Recommended by a friend, tried its food last night. The trial turned out to be an error, literally. True to its name, Biryani was all mirchi and Cola( read dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane ) I didn't order.

The whole gut was burning. Water was extensively used to ease that out. No that all was teekha. The Sabzi was actually meethi. I shoo away from sugary vegetable curries, and as a rule, make sure with the person taking the order that there is no sugar in the dish. But never expected good old Saag Makai would be tampered too.

Caught between the devil and deep sea, kisi tarah bhookh mitai. Of course, no tip. For me, the Biryani at Le Meridian has still found no match in Pune and not to say Lucknowi one - the king of all Biryanis. This Mirchi Kola has badly fizzled out.
