House of Mushrooms
By Prianca Shetty (21/06/2024)
House of Mushrooms lives up to its name, offering a menu where every dish features mushrooms as the star ingredient. Our meal began with the Mushroom Noodles and Mushroom Kebabs combo. The kebabs, though slightly salty and was worth it. The mushroom noodles were mildly flavored, similar Aglio-e-Olio. But the noodles were broken in small pieces, which was a bit disappointing. While the portion was modest, the combo offered good value for money.
Next, we tried the Mushroom Biryani. While it deviates from traditional biryani, it tasted alright in its own right. The flavors were different from what biryanis usually taste, but it was worth a try.
Overall, House of Mushrooms provides a unique, mushroom-centric dining experience. It's worth a try for a budget-friendly small meals or snack.
