When Bengaluru emerged from lockdown months ago, Lokesh and Rajiv, the brothers behind Shivaji Military Hotel took a conscious decision to not reopen dine-in until the situation got better. This meant foregoing a substantial chunk of revenues and relying on takeaway business only, but this was something they were prepared to live with, for the safety of their customers and staff. So when they reopened the eatery to customers a couple of weeks ago, we lost no time in getting there to savour their hugely popular donne biryani and also report on the current experience at this 90-year old culinary institution that has a reputation for being jam packed with customers. We arrived to find certain measures in place, even though in precarious danger of being overrun by its patrons. Thankfully though, the taste of the donne biryani hasn't wavered a bit from the time we tasted it last nearly a year ago. Hope you enjoy this episode, stay safe and happy eating!
Kaal Soup
A warming, gently-spiced mutton bone broth, the trotters are cleaned well and cooked to melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Rs. 180 (usd 2.4)
8.5/10
Chicken Donne Biryani
The biryani is served steaming hot and is impressionable in its persistent aroma and spicy, flavourful fervour laced with green chilli heat. We tasted the donne biryani in takeaway mode where it is packed in foil, but it's not quite the same as when it is ladled onto a donne, a container fashioned of leaves.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7)
9/10
Mutton Donne Biryani
The biryani has a slightly smokey tone, and the spices imbued with the weight of the fat and the character of the meat, is rounded in its flavour as opposed to the chicken biryani. The meat is juicy and has absorbed the flavour of the masala rather well. This is the textbook donne biryani, served by this revered culinary institution for the last nine decades.
Rs. 260 (usd 3.5)
10/10
Chilli Chicken
The chicken is moist, bathed in a green chilli gravy, this is certainly not a dish for the faint-hearted.
Rs. 180 (2.4)
8.5/10
Mutton Pepper Dry
Tender meat braised in a deep roasted masala with plenty of pepper.
Rs. 230 (usd 3.1)
9/10
Mutton Liver Fry
The liver has a bit of a bite, its deep flavours juxtapose delightfully against the contrasting freshness of coriander and mint in the green masala.
Rs. 160 (usd 2.2)
8.5/10
