I have only been to Biryani a couple of times. The last time was 1-2 months ago. Aamir was standing outside the cart. He would try to help people once in a while. It was a little weird. He acted like he was the manager and the guys in the cart worked for him. Now I think he was hanging around to learn about the business.

@BankBank
You went in the middle of lunch. It can get busy. It can be a little confusing at the Biryani cart, because everyone is just mixed together, but… It’s totally worth waiting. Their food is outstanding. I hope you go back.

@BankBank:

It takes them a while b/c they are cooking up your food right there, as opposed to just stuffing it in a heater/microwave to thaw it out.

If having to wait for your food to be cooked on the spot is too much of a hassle then may I suggest going to McDonald’s next time? Or even Walgreens? They have these amazing prepackaged sandwiches there…

@BankBank hahaha…i thought i was the only one wondering why the biryani cart was so damn slow. it still takes 10 minutes for kati rolls when there is no line. they need to speed up their service.

i’m gonna try this new cart, which i’m sure is part of meru’s cart empire.

I tried going to the original Biriyani cart yesterday for the first time. After waiting 7 minutes for chicken and rice and them looking totally confused in the cart, I just told them forget it and left. How can it take so long to make chicken and rice from a cart? It was noon, too!

What a scumbag father in law!!! Tell him to get his own idea! And move locales! Meru doesn’t deserve that s**T! I hope he gets terrorized off the street by the other vendors! IF that was my father in law, you’d not be hearing another peep out of him, ever…..

I think i’ve seen this before…1st Ave and 6th st, you know the famous indian places with the kitchy lighting and great food with the guys out front that beg you to come in and not go the ‘competitor’ next door (i believe they are called Sigiri and Milon)…so once coming out of the bathroom i noticed they might share a kitchen?!
perhaps this is some sort of marketing technique?
i challenge midtown lunch to find out if this is true…
if its is a marketing technique its a great one:)
