This standing-room-only food shack does only one thing, but does it so well and so cheaply that queues of hungry punters spill out into the surrounding streets. The draw is the perfectly spiced chicken biryani, cooked in giant vats and ladled out with a mint raita to an appreciative crowd. Eat standing up or take away.
