Shezan (Bengaluru)

Keep ordering, keep eating

Value for money, decent food, small portions. What do you do? You keep ordering more, and then eat some more. Shezan seems to encourage this kind of behaviour among patrons, as you end up ordering half the things on the menu and end up liking most of them. To start with, the chicken soup is quiet good in doing what soup is supposed to do - whet up an appetite and invoke the taste buds. The dal and chicken dishes to follow also live up to the mark. One excellent thing to try out here is the biryani, which is quite different from its equivalent in other parts of the country in not being rice containing whole slices of meat. The chicken biryani here contains rice that is richly flavoured with spices and has a slight bit of meat thrown in somewhere - the gravy that goes with it is what makes it delectable. The portions, however, are so minuscule that you could just order and consume helpings of biryani one by one. The dessert too is a bit of a disappointment as the mud-pie lives up to the Small is Beautiful credo but does not taste as good as the fare before it. Overall, a full course meal at Shezan might just start with a bang and end with a whimper (which, in fact, is also what the stewards do most of the time).
